Rent a Space

WEDDINGS, SHOWERS, PARTIES & MORE

Host your next event!

If you’re looking for a unique and uniquely situated venue for your next special event, look no further. We boast a 199-seat Main Stage that is the perfect space to host your wedding ceremony. Every single seat in the house is a great one because the seating is raked so everyone can see! Across the hall is Stage Right, which comfortably seats up to 75 guests. Our 65-seat Cinema is the perfect space where you can run home movies/photos on a continuous loop throughout your event. For wedding party members, we also have two dressing rooms, each equipped with its own bathroom/shower and makeup lights and mirrors.

Wedding rental price $2500 + $250 for cash bar staffing (if alcohol service is desired, if not $2500 flat fee)  this price includes exclusive use of our facility and all day access the day-of your event.
