Our experience at Woodrow Hall was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew it was the place where our forever would begin. The space itself is absolutely stunning, elegant, timeless, and full of character. It created the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything looked. But what truly sets Woodrow Hall apart is Princess, the owner and wedding coordinator. She is simply phenomenal. From day one, Princess made us feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. She handled every detail with grace, professionalism, and a calm confidence that put us completely at ease. On our wedding day, she moved through the venue like a quiet superhero, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly while allowing us to stay fully present in the joy of the moment. Princess doesn't just coordinate events, she pours her heart into them. Her warmth, organization, and dedication transformed our vision into something even more beautiful than we imagined. If you're looking for a venue in Birmingham that offers elegance, excellence, and a team that truly cares, Woodrow Hall is the place. We are forever grateful to Princess and the entire Woodrow Hall team for helping make our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. read more

I attended a baby shower at this event hall and although the space was nice the accommodations were terrible. The heat was scorching above 80 degrees inside (checked the thermostat) and the staff was unwilling make any accommodations on this matter. They brought no one to fix the ac unit which was apparently broken and brought no fans to at least help Alleviate some of the heat. Later on the blamed us (the guest) for booking on a hot day. They werent even willing to give a partial refund to the couple hosting the shower. If you're thinking about booking at this event hall do yourself a favor and chose someplace else. The owners completely lack compassion and understanding. read more

Great Hall! Had a blast with family and friends!! Will love to come back! I'm a great location!

We had our baby shower and the experience of dealing with this place was horrible. We paid for an additional hour so the food vendors and some of our family members could get there 3 hours before and set up. The temperature was 89 degrees then and It stayed 89 degrees until the rest of the guests got there 3 hours later and by the end of our 3 hour event it got as cool as 85 degrees. Unacceptable. Imagine working in the hot kitchen for 3 hours. That's absurd! So what's the problem? It was a business error. The assistant got there at the same time as the first people to mess with the thermostat (instead of the room being cooled long before) so there was NO WAY that it would have gotten cold enough for us in time due to the size of the floor and heat outside. The cop that was there earlier went to the floor below us and the floor above us and said both of them were a little cooler. We were never offered to move to a different floor or have any accommodation to deal with the heat. Meanwhile my wife is 9 months pregnant, we had elderly people, people with health issues, the vendors and people helping the hours before, and the rest of the guests had to make the best of the situation. Of course many people had to leave early, but who could blame them. We talked to the owner 2 days later to discuss the issues we had and looking for some form of partial refund due to the failed experience from error on their part, but all we got excuses. "Well, the heat advisory notice, it takes time to cool" Exactly, that is why someone arriving there the same time our first people did, to turn on probably isn't the smartest thing to do. The heat advisory isn't new. It's been hot for weeks and it's been hot all summer. It's Alabama. She said it like the sun just snuck up on us. Also, explain the other floors being cool then? "You keep saying it was 85-89 degrees, but it wasn't that hot".. This was another statement she made. So now I'm clueless and making things up? The vendors saw the thermostat. The cop saw it. Our people that had to keep standing next to it to try and get some air from the vent above it constantly saw it. Their own assistant that kept messing with the thermostat like it would magically change if you touched the buttons every so often saw it, from the very beginning to the end. And if that isn't enough, we have pictures of the thermostat! Guests had to create paper fans and some people had small portable battery ones to try and be a little more comfortable. "You guys also got the discounted rate already.." was another comment she made. Listen to how dumb that statement is. First of all, we paid the price that was on the website. They later told us, well our price has gone up but we will honor what was there. Oh gee thanks.thanks for giving us the price that was advertised.. So the lack of effort to accommodate our experience in extreme heat is clearly justified because we were allowed to pay the price that was provided on the website? Stop making excuses! She said "I promise you, this has never happened before" (In regards to the air condition). That's fine, I'm glad that's the case. But honestly, as a customer, who cares? How will you help us feel better about the negative experience? The answer is she doesn't. From excuse to excuse, then justification, and even trying to act like maybe it wasn't as hot as every single person in that room knew it to be. All of those owner responses pisses me off. It's a piss poor way to do business. I understand things don't go as expected 100% of the time, but you can still control how you respond to them. Nobody wants a "Well I'm sorry (basically not sorry), atleast u got a discounted rate of what was advertised, and there's just nothing i can do." Yes there is. A real apology. An admittance of error and the problem (not denial), and a reasonable reimbursement for the time (that we could have just spent at another venue), efforts that vendors and workers put into food and decorations in high HEAT, and the experience that everyone had, in a blazing hot room. Do right by people because this experience coupled with the response from the owner honestly feels like a "F U...You've been got" situation..." You can't run a business on a "it is what it is'' attitude. "Sorry there's nothing i can do" ............But she chose to respond pitifully. Wouldn't Recommend. read more

If I could give no stars I would. They are treating my niece and nephew horribly. My niece was planning to have her baby shower here however she had a stillborn birth at 30 weeks. No baby, no shower right? Well they are refusing to give them back their money. My niece is already going through a lot dealing with the death of her daughter and now just having this situation dragging out is just causing unnecessary stress on her and her husband. If you ever have anything unfortunate to happen and you're under contract with them, just look for them to keep your money and look the other way. read more

I recently had my babyshower at Woodrow Hall on a Sunday. My team was amazing, the catered food and designer did an awesome job. The venue was unbearably hot!!! It was 96 degrees outside and inside the thermostat read 84-89 degrees. The owner is very unprofessional and blamed the hot temperatures on alabamas "heat advisory warning". The owner also lied and stated that she turned the air on at 7am, mind you my babyshower started at 1pm. That was proven to be a lie. Her assistant met my family members that were there to set up at 10 am and turned the air on then, as they were walking in the building. Unfortunately my babyshower experience was ruined, guest left early, I had elderly guest there, and I myself am 9 months pregnant in 84-89 degree heat inside of a historic building that never cooled down, at all! If you book at this venue you will be dealing with unprofessional people and I asked for a partial refund of my money. Of course, she would not give me any discount or partial refund. Long story short, do not book at this venue! Owners/ management unprofessional, expect a hot venue if you book with them! read more

It's been a week since I got married at Woodrow Hall and I'm still thinking about how amazing everything was! Tazmin, Eddie and the Woodrow Hall team were great from beginning to end. They were so accommodating leading up with any and every question I had and made me feel at ease. The day of was a dream with the historic character complimenting our decor. I'm so glad we went in-house with their catering as all of our guests said how great it was! As soon as we sat down at our sweetheart table they had our plates waiting and went over and beyond making our night special! Thank you again to everyone and I will most definitely recommend this to all family and friends! read more

Basically if you're not having your event on the top floor and they're double booked you are going to get treated like you are less than. We were told one thing when we did our first walk through but when our money was paid our options didn't matter and all of the things we were originally told was changed.The venue is beautiful but If you know you're going to have a small wedding make this place one of your last options. read more

Woodrow Hall is a beautiful venue in a historical and very well-maintained building in Birmingham. It has class, charm and beautiful details that you can't get with a newly-built property. Eddie and Tazmine were just so accommodating, informative, prompt and wonderful, every step of the way! They worked with us and helped us every way that they could. The entire staff on event night (our company's ten year anniversary party) was extremely accommodating and professional. Also, the food was AMAZING! We highly recommend Woodrow Hall. read more

Although I've never had an event at Woodrow Hall, I've been to two weddings and a dinner rehearsal held there and they've all been beautiful occasions. I had a more hands on experience with the weddings, the maid of honor in one and both a guest and setup crew for another. The staff was always so pleasant and thoughtful. They tended to the needs of the wedding party with urgency, no matter how outrageous or frivolous they were. The food was great and the decorations beautiful. I really like that this venue is all inclusive. You can purchase packages that include everything from the decorations, tables and chairs to the food and libations. It's an absolutely beautiful venue with lots of charm and character. The venue boasts three floors that can accommodate anything from a meeting to a full blown wedding. read more

The staff at woodrow hall are so very helpful! Combined they have years of experience in the event industry which shows when they suggest things you never thought of.

I want to let everyone know about Brittany Bell at Woodrow Hall. My aunt went down there on Tuesday to book this venue for her 75th birthday. She had her deposit in hand and ready to pay that day. She even offered to pay THAT DAY! My aunt asked a few questions about prices for table clothes and chairs and Brittany told my aunt she would get back to her with prices. My aunt still offered to pay. Brittany told her not to that she would get back to her with prices and she could pay her deposit over the phone. Well here it is exactly TWO DAYS later. My aunt calls to try to get some information on prices. Brittany tells her that they have booked the venue to someone else. I cannot believe how unprofessional this is. She said that she thought my aunt sounded "unsure". Instead of calling her back with prices and confirming with her she decided to book another party. My aunt is very upset and so am I. This is extremely unprofessional. Sad part is I even bragged on Brittany since I've known her since we were children and we grew up together in the same church. So let me make this clear I'm not saying she's a bad person I am this is a very unprofessional move. read more

While researching venues to have my wedding and reception at in Alabama I came across Woodrow Hall. I instantly fell in love with the character and beauty of this building. The hard part was that I'm from Louisiana and it's very challenging to have a wedding out of state. The staff at Woodrow Hall were so professional, sweet, and caring. This is my first wedding and I didn't know where to begin, but Tazmine took all of my scattered thoughts and have turned them into reality. I definitely picked the right hall to place my vision, trust, and dreams into. Thanks Woodrow Hall for ensuring that I will have my dream wedding. read more
