HISTORY OF THE PROM
The word Prom is short for promenade, the formal, introductory parading of guests at a party.
The Prom can be traced back to the simple co-ed banquets that 19th century American universities held for each year’s graduating class. They were introduced to promote social etiquette and manners within the year groups.
“The very early ones were like those held at colleges: the senior class, dress in the “Sunday best” fathered in the gym for tea and light refreshments, socializing and dancing under crepe paper streamers and the watchful eyes of chaperones” Widely referenced 1894 diary entry of a student from the all-male Amherst College giving his account of being invited to and attending a prom at nearby women’s school, Smith College.
By the 1930s, proms in America were being held coast-to-coast, swapping the light refreshments and dancing under crepe paper streamers for full-blown dinners with local bands providing music and entertainment. In the 1950s, the boom of the post-war economy footed the bill for high school gymnasiums to be supplanted by more elaborate venues like country clubs and hotels.
The grandest prom venue of all was procured by Susan Ford, the daughter of President Gerald Ford, in 1975 when she hosted her senior prom at the White House, the first and only First Kid to hold the honor, even to this day.
Our philosophy “Where Everything is Possible” is the beating heart of our Venue and we invite you to take a special journey and create Prom history with us.
