Awesome venue and even better people to work with for you wedding
Incredible venue with extremely friendly and respectful staff that want you to have the best event ever.
My fiancé and I decided to get married at the John Marshall as I was living there when we first met. We met with Maria and Kaitlyn and immediately were impressed with their professionalism and how much they wanted us to have the best day ever, something we didn’t get from a lot of other venues we looked at. They worked with us to perfect every detail, and were fully invested in our event. Some unfortunate circumstances caused Maria and Kaitlyn to be absent from our wedding, but they found someone to stand in for them, who was fantastic as well. I cannot recommend this venue enough, the food is simply incredible too and we had the most magical wedding.
I can't give the John Marshall Ballrooms enough stars! It was a beautiful venue for our daughter's wedding reception. It could not possibly be easier to host a reception anywhere else. Onsite catering with linens and china provided makes things super easy. The venue itself is beautiful, so not much added decor is needed for a very classy presentation. Guests really enjoyed the food and the elegance.
But the very best part is the STAFF! Maria is stellar at her job. From the very initial consult to the petal exit, she was extremely helpful! Questions were answered quickly, and she had plenty of helpful suggestions to make the reception go well. She acts genuinely excited to be hosting your event, and she always makes you feel she has all the time in the world to assist you. Kaitlyn is also an excellent, friendly addition to the team. The day of the event, Marvin and Anthony could not have been more wonderful! They made us feel they could accommodate whatever we wanted and didn't even complain when they had to sweep up tons of flower petals at the end. You cannot find a better event team anywhere!
I would highly recommend investigating the John Marshall Ballrooms for your next event.
Beautiful place for Connors heroes
I have worked weddings to having my own wedding at John Marshall Ballrooms and I can’t recommend this place enough. There aren’t many venue options that can comfortably hold around 150 guests, in addition to in-house catering with tables, chairs, linens etc in downtown Richmond. JMB was the perfect venue. We loved the historic hotel vibes. Majority of our guests came from out of town and it was very close to all hotels. Maria is absolutely amazing and their staff is always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend having your next event at JMB. You won’t regret it!

John Marshall Ballrooms is a wonderful choice for your wedding venue. The team at John Marshall are some of the best you will find. Maria and her crew serve wedding couples and their guests with immense patience and kindness. Their spaces are beautiful for small or large gatherings, and few other lobbies exist with such fantastic light and ambiance for photos! The JMB location in the city gives quick and easy access to fun Richmond city portraits. You will not regret choosing this stellar location for your wedding!

I wanted to leave a review as a vendor. We worked a holiday party at the John Marshall Ballrooms and we were blown away. I think I had one of the best event experiences at this place. Everyone was amazing. All of the staff from the bar to the The Director of Sales was super friendly and helpful. It goes without saying that this is a gorgeous historic building and we are looking forward to working more events here.
My wife and I got married here in September 2024, and everything was perfect. Maria was amazing in communicating with us through every step of the process, from the initial tour to clean-up on the day of. I think the thing we heard most from guests is how amazing the food was from the in-house caterer, Homemades by Suzanne. If you want a seamless wedding process and top-notch, gorgeous venue, go with Maria's team at the John Marshall!

Gorgeously appointed, & historic yet restored building Complete with beautiful chandeliers that seemed authentic to the late ‘20’s era of grandeur~ staff was great !!
This venue is absolutely exquisite, and the food is phenomenal. Our daughter's, July 6, 2024 wedding was a tremendous success .Due to the amazing staff and talented chefs. The historical building sets an amazing backdrop. It truly set the stage for our successful wedding reception. Do it!#mariahall#yourock and helped everything go with ease!
We had our wedding here this month. Absolutely beautiful ballroom, everything run very smoothly and the food was amazing. Only complaint is some miscommunication with the planning staff and some things slipping through the cracks because of this and having to make some corrections because it wasn’t correct the first time. Other than that have no complaints and it was a great and beautiful space.
Holy mole was the wait staff accommodating. They found out before the couple arrived that I had dietary restrictions and were on it the rest of the evening. They consistently checked in with me. The open bar staff was also very sweet. Good was delicious and perfectly portioned. As partner of the best man, I highly recommend!
Beautiful
