The Venue

Located in the heart of Albany, The Kenmore, built in 1878, was once a lavish nightclub and hotel attracting big names such as Frank Sinatra, Babe Ruth, and Duke Ellington. In 2019, the Kenmore Ballroom was beautifully restored and transformed to perfectly mesh the luxurious 1920’s to the modern 21st century, opening once again as a unique venue for any wedding, social or corporate events in the Capital Region. Run by Katie O’Malley of Katie O’ Weddings and Events and her husband Nate Maloney, your event is sure to be planned to perfection as Katie and her team are experienced professionals in all things wedding.

With over 15,000 square feet of space, the Kenmore offers multi-level ballroom space, creating an intimate, yet flexible setting for both smaller and larger events, a grand double staircase, a bar/lounge area, a historical bandstand, custom chairs, and so much more. Floor to ceiling windows on the mezzanine level welcomes plenty of natural light and the neutral color scheme allows for the ballroom to be transformed to match any theme or color palette. The flexibility to select your own caterer, with an on-site “finishing” kitchen at their disposal, is just another benefit for this stunning venue. 

This one-of-a-kind venue serves as a significant marker in history and an amazing place to create memories to last a lifetime. Minutes, and even steps away, from many restaurants, hotels, and breathtaking views of the historic city of Albany, the Kenmore offers an ideal location for guest accommodations and stunning photos of your big day. 

Our Signature Look

The Kenmore Ballroom offers a space to let creativity take over. While the Kenmore has some of their own inventory pieces, we at Total Events would love to be a part of your occasion to help make the space truly your own with our extensive inventory pieces. Our considerable collection of specialty linens can be used to upgrade the look of your tables, and the high ceilings present the perfect opportunity to utilize our signature drapery and ceremony arches to create gorgeous ceremony backdrops. The bar area offers a large space to utilize our lounge seating for cocktail parties as well.
