NOAC Ballroom
Classical tradition and elegance are the very best way to describe our beautiful Ballroom. If the walls could talk they would tell tales of spectacular weddings, Mardi Gras and debutante balls. Through the years, this beautiful space has been graced by pillars of the community and national celebrities. We invite you to come to tour this one of a kind room, now open to the public for special events on Saturday and Sunday.
