Lazaretto Ballroom

Set in historic Essington, Pennsylvania, near the Delaware River, the Lazaretto Ballroom has been operated by the Capozzoli family — caterers in the region since 1936 — since the venue opened in 2008. The 5,400-square-foot ballroom accommodates gatherings from an intimate party of 20 to a reception of up to 300 guests, making it a fit for weddings, corporate meetings, and social events like receptions and memorial services alike. The ballroom features a wooden dance floor, a bridal suite with a private bathroom, and coat check service, along with over 200 parking spaces and full handicap accessibility. Corporate clients have access to day-meeting packages that include audiovisual equipment and complimentary wireless internet. Wedding packages include a five-hour reception with open bar, a champagne toast, floor-length linens, and personalized planning services, with catering handled in-house by the Capozzoli family's own team.
