The Crystal Ballroom

At 2,350 square feet, The Crystal Ballroom is The Markham’s signature event space, rooted in the building’s 1920s social history and reimagined for today’s celebrations and corporate gatherings. Once a hub for Gulfport’s early gatherings, it now returns as a restored ballroom with natural light and a polished, design-forward feel. For weddings, it hosts indoor ceremonies, seated receptions, and dinner and dancing in one elegant, cohesive setting. For business events, it accommodates conferences, corporate dinners, trainings, panels, and large presentations with flexible layouts tailored to your agenda.
