About Us

Meet the Goodmans

Heidi and Shane Goodman have operated the Columbia Ballroom since 2012. Shane, grandson to founders Paul and Lucille Goodman, is a trained chef completing his degree from Pennsylvania Culinary. Heidi, a graphic designer, has used her creative background to add special touches to weddings, events, and the overall look of the Ballroom. They have 3 boys who will continue on as the 4th generation to the legacy. Along with a staff of 30, the Ballroom's extended family has continued to grow.

It truly is a family affair at the Columbia Ballroom — which is why we are honored to be a part of so many families coming together.
