A FREDERICK WEDDING AND SPECIAL EVENT VENUE
"AN historic bank turned celebration space"
Citizens Ballroom is a cornerstone building turned wedding and special event venue in the heart of Downtown Frederick. The former bank has been lovingly renovated to its original glory and updated for its new life as a celebration space right in the heart of town. Originally built in 1908, the building still contains most of its original details, including bronze doors, statement 30-foot coffered ceilings and signature bank vaults.
THE FĂTEWELL DIFFERENCE
16 Hour Rental Window
Venue pricing shouldn't be a math test. The price you see on this page is the price you'll pay. We don't add any hidden fees. We also don't charge for rehearsals (with a full day rental) or using our house furnishings.
Our full day rentals are from 8am- midnight so that you don't have to rush your celebration. You are welcome to use all areas of the venue, including our complimentary dressing suite throughout your event.
We welcome all licensed and insured caterers at our Frederick wedding and events venue. We have some great recommendations to get you started. Another big perk? You may bring your own alcohol for no additional fee.
