Banquet Hall
The Wherehouse is Great American Tent’s very own banquet hall available for parties and special events. It’s located at our main building outside of Gardendale, Alabama and is right off I-65, making it easy to access for anyone from the Birmingham area. The Wherehouse has been host to stage productions, wedding receptions, charity dinners, church functions, and tons of birthday parties!
The entire room is a 30x55’ area which customers are free to decorate. In addition to the company’s normal parking lot we have an extra lot for overflow parking. We allow customers to bring in food, alcohol, even outside party equipment. If you want to use your own tables and chairs instead of ours, that’s fine by us. The Wherehouse is a no smoking facility and any smoking would need to be taken outside. A damage deposit is required for reservations. Beyond that, you can party to your heart’s content for as long as you choose to rent it.
