Powell Hall

Powell Hall, part of the Jack C. Taylor Music Center in St. Louis, is a historic concert hall and distinctive event venue available for private and corporate hire. Located in the Grand Center arts district, the venue combines the character of a landmark building with the comfort, accessibility and technical capabilities of a recently renovated music centre.

Event organisers can choose from several spaces to suit different formats and guest numbers. The Steward Family Education and Learning Center offers a contemporary setting for seated dinners, receptions, presentations and performances, with space for up to 350 guests standing. The Berges Family Foundation Grand Lobby provides an impressive backdrop for drinks receptions, corporate gatherings and special occasions, with dedicated bar facilities and additional balcony areas. For a more classically elegant atmosphere, the Wightman Foyer features marble flooring, chandeliers, gilded details and red velvet finishes, accommodating substantial dinners or receptions.

For major productions, conferences, concerts and large celebrations, the Powell Hall Auditorium offers a striking stage, renowned acoustics, artist support areas and seating for more than 2,000 guests. Additional services can include custom sound and lighting, projection, audio-visual production, recording and streaming. The venue team can also help organisers plan the event and coordinate suitable suppliers, while event packages may include event management, cleaning and security support.

Powell Hall is well suited to awards ceremonies, gala dinners, product presentations, speaker events, concerts, receptions, fundraisers and memorable private celebrations. Its blend of architectural grandeur, flexible spaces and modern event infrastructure makes it a compelling choice for organisers seeking an exceptional St. Louis setting.
