Banquet Hall in the Centre of St Petersburg

A wedding, an anniversary, a gala dinner or a reception for partners — some occasions are remembered for their setting as much as for the reason behind them. The Nevsky Ballroom with its six-metre vaulted ceilings and Art Deco aesthetic, the cuisine of a five-star hotel and a banqueting team that keeps the evening perfectly on schedule are why celebrations are entrusted to the Corinthia St Petersburg.

Our address on Nevsky Prospekt, in the very centre of St Petersburg, is convenient both for local guests and for those travelling from afar.

Why celebrations are held at the Corinthia St Petersburg

A grand Art Deco hall. Six-metre vaulted ceilings, natural daylight and interiors that become part of the event themselves — no extra decoration needed.

Everything in one place. The celebration, guest accommodation and an informal continuation of the evening — with no transfers between venues.

Nevsky Ballroom

The heart of any celebration: 535 m² beneath six-metre vaulted ceilings in an Art Deco setting. Grand proportions, natural daylight and a stage for performers and the host make the hall a ready-made venue for a gala dinner, wedding or reception. Movable partitions let you keep an intimate scale for a private evening or open up the whole hall for several hundred guests.

Which celebrations the hall is suited for

Wedding banquet — a grand hall and cuisine that make the day unforgettable; seating, a welcome area and the evening programme, all taken care of.
Corporate celebration and gala dinner — a prestigious venue for annual meetings, company anniversaries and receptions.
Formal reception and buffet — a format for networking and social events where guests move freely around the hall.
Award ceremonies and prize-givings — a stage, professional sound and lighting, and seating focused on the head table.
Anniversaries and private celebrations — an intimate hall for family and close friends with the same level of service.

Banquet menu and cuisine

Food is half of the evening’s impression. The hotel chef creates a banquet menu to suit the format and the occasion: a seated dinner, buffet, gala or welcome reception. We agree the menu before the event so that every dish is chosen in advance.

For break formats for daytime events, see the “Coffee Breaks” page.

Organisation and decoration

We take care of the entire evening — from the first seating plan to the final toast:

a personal banquet coordinator on site;
hall decoration and floristry;
a stage, professional sound and lighting;
space for performers, a host and a DJ;
flexible seating and timing to suit your scenario.
