As of 2023, the prince George Ballroom is 119 years old. It operated as a hotel into the 1960's. During its heyday is was a fixture in the Madison Square neighboorhood. Within another decade NYC tourism declined and eventually the Prince George lost its splendor. Fast forward the prince George Ballroom has been through a major renovation in 2015 and is owned by Breaking Ground, a non-profit organization that provides permanent supportive housing to people at risk of homelessness.
The Prince George Ballroom is always transformed and decorated so uniquely for every party. It is a blank canvas with lots of gold. Leave the building and you are a few steps away from Fifth Avenue and the Empire State Building is visible from the corner. My couples have especially liked the ease of creating a few fun portraits with New York City iconography in the background including the famous Sabrett's Hot Dog food cart.
