About this venue
Originally built in 1914 by the Free Masons, and served as their meeting place for much of the last century before it was purchased by the current owners, whose mission is to restore historic buildings in Birmingham. Woodrow Hall offers a large foyer and beautiful banquet hall with exposed brick, high ceilings with huge wooden beams as well as modern amenities such as plasma screen TV, LCD projector and modern lighting. This remarkable reception venue is full of unique architecture, character and warmth. It offers a timeless location for parties, reunions, corporate events and training programs. In addition, Woodrow Hall offers very spacious VIP rooms, perfect for bridal parties or event sponsors. “The Magnolia Room”, Woodrow Hall’s event space located on the second floor, is also available for special events, cocktail hour, training programs and other educational functions. We can cater to most budgets.
