The Padua Hills Ballroom is uniquely elegant and spacious, with a vaulted ceiling from which wrought iron chandeliers hang. Their gentle lights glint off of restored hardwood floors and reflect in the hand-carved mirrors situated along the walls. The original wall sconces and Spanish colonial décor whisper of a lost age of romance and adventure. The ballroom dance floor is fully equipped with over $500k of customizable lighting and sound equipment (sponsored by Entertainment Express), making your event a one of a kind experience that no one will forget.
