Perfect place to bring a date. Friendly staff and great entertainment. Large dance floor and we went on a night the pasta house catered. The salad was the only thing we liked but the rat pack show was great!

Lynn Hardin

It's obvious this place was a big deal back in the day. It could definitely use some freshening appearance wise but it seemed clean. The guy who was directing seating seemed to be in charge and he was doing everything to help the staff. We say a dwrafanators match here. It was a really good experience.

I love this place, it is historic. It is a great place to go for dancing, especially ballroom dancing. But, if you don't know how to ballroom dance, that's okay because they have many bands that come in so you can just boogie how you want. They also give free little dance lessons sometimes before the band starts. I just wish they had bathrooms on the ground floor. You have to climb a good set of stairs to use the bathroom, which is hard on older knees. Also, it's quite dark up those stairs. Still, love this place though, as many famous people have played here back in the day.

I cannot say enough good things about the Casa Loma. First Pat and Teri are so nice and easy to work with. They wanted to make our reception perfect, and they did. My daughter and son in-law weddind was on December 10, 22. A week later I am still getting calls about how nice there wedding was. I loved the uniqueness of the Casa Loma. Pat and Teri don't only own the venue, but, the went so far above what any other venue will do. I had so many special requests and their reply was always "we can do that for you". All their employees have been there far 15 years or more and were so pleasant to all our guest. Chef Larry had the best wedding buffet I ever had. When you book your event at the Casa Loma pat and Teri treat you like family. We looked at other venues and I thought many had a very cold atmosphere. There are many different food and drink packages to pick from. They are also, the most reasonably priced venue. Before you choose your venue please stop by and talk to Pat and Teri. You will not be sorry. Chris was the DJ for the night and he was fun. His interactions with the guest and wedding party was fun to watch.

What an AWESOME VINTAGE VENUE SPACE. MY PARENTS ATTENDED MANY Music and Dance events and venues here. I am Very Impressed with the care that has been taken of this space. I wish that the owners would use this space for concerts and also for weddings or even special events ie: for Benton Park and Benton Park West. Beautiful space!!!

Megan Anastasia

The Casa Loma has a special place in my heart as a swing dancer. The floor is incredible, they always bring in amazing bands, and the staff is friendly. Anyone who gets a chance should come experience the beauty of the ballroom for themselves!

Dean Draper

Vintagefest was held here. It was a bit warm and going up the stairs to set up the vendor booths was brutal.

Erika Young

Great spce for events. I go for their New Years Eve Burlesque party every year!

Caya “Grace O'Malley” Aufiero

Wonderful venue for dancing. We saw a great band from Philly. Beautifully preserved historic building. I see they had a wedding reception the night before. What a glorious place for that!

Bobbie Suzanne

Great night!! Lots of cool costumes!! Fantastic band and lots of dancing!!

Waqqas Khan

Fantastic event space, intimate concert hall, excellent sound, light system, and service staff. Book for weddings or other personal events. Old school dance hall ambience.

Grant Barnum

Love the vibe here. Wonderful space for events. I went to Lola Van Ella's burleque show on NYE a few years ago and had a great time.

Ellen Brommelhorst

It is an excellent place to dance. It has a big roomy wooden dance floor. The bands are always very good.

Mark Flush

Great tradition of dancing and live bands with class

Jeff Holmes

Opportunity to dance at a classic venue. Frank Sinatra and other greats once played this venue. Beautiful dance floor. May not last much longer. They unfortunately don't market themselves well and the concession on the main floor isn't the elevated standard it should be to make the experience special.

Sonya Wood

Nice big venue, very spacious, nice owners.

zariok

I've been here for a couple events. Parking is a little of a challenge, but the events have always been fantastic.

Saralyn Voltz

A wonderful place to dance! The Casa Loma is a beautiful venue with a great floor. Staff always has a smile on their face and are helpful. Bathrooms are always clean and taken care of as well! $10 cover for a live band, lessons, and dancing in a beautiful venue is a steal!! Enjoy!

Stephanie Sanborn

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! We had our wedding reception here last year and it was perfect! The owners Terry and Pat were the absolute best to work with! Terry made my vision come to life! All we had to do was drop our decorations off the day before and she and her staff set everything up! She sent me pictures so I wouldn’t worry! Planning a wedding is so stressful but the easiest part was chosing the Casa Loma to have our reception! The catering was amazing and the fact that everything is included under one price per guest made it a breeze! The bartenders were so nice and my guest are still telling us a year later that it was the BEST wedding they had ever been too!! Thank you Terry and Pat for everything!! You truly made the most important day of our lives the most perfect day of our lives too!! If you have not checked this place out for your wedding you missing out!!

Brad Cary

We had a great event and can not speak enough about the staff and owners for the hospitality.

Joan Dailey

Fabulous floor. Fun venue. Remembering my parents and relatives danced here during WW11. .

Jessica Mallmann

We had our wedding at Casa Loma on 10/12/19. As soon as Pat turned on the lights when we were looking around for wedding venues, we knew this was an incredibly special place. Everything from the dance floor and the classic decorations everywhere to the family treatment we received from Pat and Teri since day one of planning made our day infinitely better. Casa Loma has plenty of space for whatever size wedding you will be hosting and is built for lots of dancing and partying. Pat and Teri were unbelievably helpful through all of our engagement too. Any question we had was answered in a quick phone call, unique requests to make the day special for us were encouraged, and the experience of everyone working there to host a large event made the day run smoothly with zero stress. Pat and Teri, we can't thank you enough for helping us with our wedding and we especially can't wait to come back every year to dance on the ballroom floor and reminisce about where we started our lives together.

Lynne Hart

A great way to get tendo old Saint Louis. Coming here even just to watch people dance is a great treat. The drinks are cheap the service is great and people have a good time! Planning to come back soon for a different music venue last time was big brass band!

Ashley VanBibber

This venue was a beautiful choice for our Prom. With such a large group of students attending this was the perfect venue to accommodate a large number with ease. The food provided by Championship Catering was wonderful and Arriba Audio was a fun DJ that make the entire experience the "Full Package". We are very excited to plan another prom event here in the future!

Forrest Outman Phoenix (DanceHistorian.com)

This Ball Room is an absolute TREASURE. It is gorgeous and delightfully vintage. So few venues still exist with the charm of period decor, a stage, balconies, bar, and a proper dance floor. It's the whole package and definitely one of the best examples of a period dance hall that I've seen.

Scott Huffman

The Casa Loma Ballroom is a true gem in St Louis...way back and now in 2021...Pat & Teri Brannon are extraordinary hands on...roll up your sleeves...owners/managers ! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting them last evening...4/23/2021 and I have to share that I was blown away with the feeling that there really are owners that have pride !! Thanks Pat...can’t wait to come to an event at Casa Loma Ballroom !

Kristin Guile

We went for an evening of swing dancing. Lessons started at around 7 or 7:30. (Call them to make sure on the time.) Anyway, they give you a lesson and if you don't have a partner you just dance with whoever is standing near you. Then around 8 the band begins playing, and oh my goodness it was fun! I'm looking forward to going back! The bar offers very basic drinks oh, and a couple kinds of wine . The prices are very reasonable . They also offer food but I don't remember the specifics. Casa Loma Ballroom has been in business since the 1920s and you can kind of tell--the decor is a blend of art deco and early 40's Big Band era. St. Louisans have been dancing there for 90 years! Would you believe my parents took disco dance lessons there in 1977? Note: the neighborhood is a little sketchy. There is a small parking lot across the street that you can pay to park at. I splurged for an Uber and I'm glad I did, I had such a carefree, fun evening. I bet you will too. Try it once, if you don't like it you don't ever have to go back. But I suspect you'll want to!

Rebecca Baum

Such a special place. Full of history and full of positive vibes and vibrant dancing. This place brings people together to enjoy one another. Without this place my grandparents wouldn't have meant and I wouldn't exist. Every time I'm here I feel happy and ready to let go.

Kelly Anese

Casa Loma Ballroom is the only Ballroom I know where children can come with their parents and have an amazing time. The owners are so personable and so nice genuinely it shows throughout their staff. The only hiccup that this beautiful historic ballroom has is there is no elevator for wheelchair access. Other than that you and your family can enjoy a night out on the town!!

Scott Heliker

Great establishment. The place had a speak easy feel and the staff were extremely nice. Highly recommend for band night or if you're planning an event or a wedding in the south St Louis area. 5 Stars!!

Zachary Ward

I've been coming here for swing music and dancing since I was in high school. Every Friday is a different swing band, but it's not always a big band. Sometimes, they have a more rock/swing band like Brian Setzer. It's down on Cherokee street, so there's plenty to do before and after dancing!

KATHERINE MILLER

Huge & quality dance floor. Casa Loma is the go to place for Swing Lindy and other partner dancing on many Friday and Saturday nights. Never been to wedding there (but I know they host a lot since they preempt dancing on many weekends in the late spring and summer)

Meredith B

So much fun to swing dance here. Definitely recommend if you enjoy structured partner dancing. Awesome history - if those walls could talk, i can just imagine the stories they'd tell.

Kathryn Finnegan

Great place to have a good time and dance. Classes are given at the beginning of the night for free. You get your first drink for free. Only problem is they don't serve food, so it is better to eat before going.

Julie Franco

Great for a family night. Pat and Teri go above and beyond to make a magical night for weddings. Also the bands are good to listen to and where else can you go and listen to a live band and get dance lessons.

Ian Pozdol

This 1920s ballroom, once host to famous swing acts lke Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and Frank Sinatra, is now more commonly host to banquets and weddings, but still features dancing on some evenings. It's a lovely room with wonderful atmosphere.

Joan Casey

My husband and I went on our wedding anniversary in April with two of my sisters and their husbands. It was our first time there. We had an absolute blast! Best time ever! My mom and dad used to go to the Casaloma in the 1940s and dance to the Big Band sounds. Mom used to recall her fond memories of those days when I was growing up. My husband and I have already been back in May, now we're coming back in a few weeks. Think we'll be dancing at the Casaloma for years to come! Great place and great times!! ❣❣

Danny Beyrer

Historic ballroom for jazz music and dancing. Love visiting the Casa Loma Ballroom. Ordering from the bar is a bit of a hassle because they have a $15 minimum on credit cards, and they don't like giving water to dancers, but I love the history and sheer size of the building.

Beckie Simora

Absolutely Beautiful Building. The event I attended was amazing. Definitely will be attending more events here.

Shelia Lewis

I've never been here but I'm up watching rescue 911(yes 90s era lol) an old episode I'm watching a lady past out almost died in there and they saved her life by taking her to the hospital...which you know the episode is old cause they had the old ambulances that was orange blue and white with the numbers on the side, I only knew to look it up cause they said Saint Louis MO

R Cusick

$5 drinks and a $15 credit card minimum. I was glad I didn't have to drive home. Cool space but the doorman acted like a jail guard and the people handling ticket sales had numerous issues with the Wi-Fi.

Josh Hensley

Great venue! Super friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks, and still has the old school ballroom feel.

Teresa Sumano

Nice, good dancing, good music and awesome ambiance before pandemic, now I don't know.

Matt Cushman

I love this place. It's dripping with history and the dance floor is still as solid as ever. Plenty of seating and the bar is always manned if a band is on stage.

Allison Shields

The atmosphere was cool. Good service. Julie Brown always does an amazing person. I always see here going above and beyond. She's a keeper.

Vicki Lee

Would love to see big band style , dinner and dancing there. Spectaculaire was fantastic - tho' the table service and bar seem very slow. Could have spend $30-40 if the service had been better.

Jill Reed

I have been to several events here. From Beggar's Carnivale to Class Reunions and Wedding receptions. This ballroom takes you back to the time when Americans were celebrating life in a big way! Values were being created in the city! It is an amazing venue. The staff is concerned about their service and your event set-up. You will be pleased! The dance floor is immense and you should visit here at least once! Do something different -- take dance lessons! We are currently working with them for our Gateway to Prosperity! Event #gatewaytoprosperity Missouri Humorist/Singer/Songwriter Greg Tamblyn will be the main entertainer in the evening on July 26th.

Marj Santhuff

Went we friends to see motown revue, and dancing.

Ana Cristina Lima

Amazing dance floor! They have always events coming up with live music from local artists. A great place to go if you're looking to listen to great music and/or dance!

Diana S

an incredible 12 piece dance band played while dancers of all skill levels glided around the large dance floor. Eager to go back....

John Murphy

lacrisha Trevino

Fun place to be at , free dance lessons, a great historical place and the owners really work with you to make sure for whatever occasion you have is the most memorable night for you and your guest..

Tirzah Hawkins

Really cool place to see a concert or host a reception. The owner is really friendly as well. The neighborhood surrounding is a little bit scary though.
