The Crystal

The Crystal Simply Enchanting! Historic 1920’s Ballroom & Event Venue in St. John, WI just outside Sherwood! A unique ballroom & event space in St.

John, WI featuring a 2500 square foot floating hardwood dance floor and performance stage. The Crystal Ballroom History:

Located at the intersections of Highways B and BB in Hilbert (also listed as St. John), WI, was built in 1928. Initially named the Stommel Auditorium, the building has been many things within its first 80 years. From ballroom and auditorium, to tavern, and finally a warehouse.

The Lauers bought the space in 1995, renovated it, and re-opened in 1997 as the Crystal Ballroom. With its tall windows, crystal chandeliers, and performance stage, the Crystal Ballroom is a beautiful event space. However, its statement piece is the fully restored 2,500 square foot floating hardwood dance floor. Our goal at The Crystal has been to help our clients realize their unique and personal visions for their special events. We’re in the business of creating experiences you and your guests will want to remember forever. We believe that every element of your celebration should be special, starting with the venue. About us:

Eric and Dana Krueger are the co-operators of The Crystal and Revel Dance Academy LLC. They married in 2008 and later welcomed their daughter Stella to the family in 2013 and son Paul in 2016. The couple moved to the Sherwood area in 2016. Dana has been teaching dance to all ages in the Fox Valley for over 20 years. She opened her first studio, Revel Dance Academy, in Sherwood in 2018. After overcoming the challenges of the pandemic, the new growth of the studio posed new space challenges at the previous location. Not only did the Crystal provide a solution to this problem, but also offered additional dance opportunities. Eric, a lifelong Fox Valley musician, saw additional potential with the building and bringing live music and community events to its doorstep. The couple plan to continue the dedication and love the previous owners, Paul and Lisa Lauer, committed to The Crystal. Their legacy will continue and Eric and Dana hope to cherish the property in the same way they did.

❤️👏🏻🎶🎤💎

Mark your calendars for Mile of Music Festival August 1-4! Downtown Appleton!

And thank you for the shout out, Travel Calumet!

Congratulations to the Mile of Music Festival organizers and Calumet County’s own The Crystal Ballroom AKA "The Crystal" on the successful first-ever “A Mile Down the Road” music experience that took place Saturday, June 15 as a 2pm matinee performance at the amazing Crystal Ballroom in St. John (Sherwood proper)!

Flagship Romance headlined this special event, making their way from Louisville, Kentucky. Also on the card was Girl & The Gunn. The event was an all-seated, all-listening experience that ran from 2-4pm.

Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that leave you feeling that you made two new best friends.

Girl & The Gunn are two amazing solo musicians from the Green Bay Area that came together to create this acoustic project, sometimes also known as Gunn & the Girl.

The event was held at Calumet County’s Crystal Ballroom in St. John (near Sherwood) located at W3307 Co Rd B, in Hilbert. The Crystal Ballroom is an iconic and historical event venue dance hall that hosts music and dance events as well as weddings and other specialty occasions.

Congratulations to The Crystal Ballroom and here’s hoping future Mile of Music events will take place A Mile Down the Road at the Crystal!

Mile of Music Festival alumni Flagship Romance return on June 15 for a special A Mile Down the Road showcase at The Crystal, also featuring Girl & The Gunn.

Let's learn a bit about this awesome duo: Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and a remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that will leave you with the feeling that you made two new best friends. Married singers-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson will have you questioning how their larger-than-life sound can come from just two voices and an acoustic guitar.
