Ready to have some fun? Celebrate with us in a very unique way! Our venue was built in 1805 and is recognized as one of the most important Federal Buildings in America. Hamilton Hall is named after Alexander Hamilton, who led the Federalists during the political turmoil in 19th century Salem between Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans. Each party, determined to have a place, led to the construction of Hamilton Hall by the Federalists. In its early days, Hamilton Hall hosted elaborate celebrations and banquets, honoring American presidents and visiting dignitaries. One of the first assemblies held at Hamilton Hall was the somewhat controversial Christmas Week dance when Parson Hopkins, minister of the South Church across the street from the Hall, could be seen pacing outside, waving his arms and muttering, “Back to back and breast to breast, they are dancing their souls to hell.” A designated National Historic Landmark, the Hall also serves as the site of the Remond family home and business. John and Nancy Remond and their children were the resident family of Hamilton Hall in the mid-19th century. Free African-Americans, two of the Remond children went on to become abolition activists and international orators. The Remond legacy of hospitality and social activism continues to be celebrated today. Through grants, fundraising and an ongoing membership program, the Board of Directors works to preserve the building and develop educational community programming. Events at Hamilton Hall carry the grace of the past with the energy of the present. By having our wedding at this location, we are helping towards the continuation of preservation to the building and keeping this location open to the public, so that we all can continue to enjoy it and keep it’s legacy alive. While we are celebrating, please keep in mind that this location cannot be replaced, be courteous and kind to the craftsmanship of this building. Let’s leave the building the way we found it, not a mess. Thank you!
