Capitol Plaza Ballrooms

Capitol Plaza Ballrooms is a historic event venue in downtown Sacramento, offering several distinct spaces for weddings, receptions and a wide range of business and social gatherings. Set within the former Odd Fellows Temple, the venue pairs period architectural details, including hand-painted ceilings and restored woodwork, with rooms suited to different guest numbers and event styles.

Organisers can choose from the Fraternity, Temple and Silver ballrooms, as well as the larger Grand Ballroom at a separate downtown address. The rooms offer varied settings, from neoclassical historic interiors to a more contemporary atmosphere. The Grand Ballroom can host up to 1,000 guests, while the venue as a whole presents options for groups starting at around 50. Room arrangements can accommodate celebrations, dining and dancing, as well as conferences, seminars, trade shows, fundraisers, luncheons and holiday events.

Weddings are a prominent part of the venue’s offer, with spaces available for ceremonies and receptions. The team also provides culinary service for events, and organisers can discuss menus, room layouts and event requirements with staff. Depending on the chosen room and occasion, the venue can support both smaller gatherings and larger functions, with dining and reception arrangements tailored to the event.

Its central location places the ballrooms close to Sacramento’s State Capitol, City Hall and convention centre, making the venue accessible for local guests and visitors. For event planners seeking a ballroom setting with historic character, multiple room options and on-site event support, Capitol Plaza Ballrooms offers a downtown location for both personal celebrations and organised functions.
