We were apparently the first couple ever married at DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema, but you’d never know it the way they prepared for and executed on the day of our ceremony.
As any NY...
C movie-goer worth their salt knows, Firehouse is a beautiful theater (we didn’t use their adjacent event space but I’m sure that’s also beautiful). Their sound system is great (including full A/V support) and the video, music, and microphones were all executed perfectly. Their staff are even better - everyone was attentive and professional both over email and in person and went so above and beyond for us — they even recorded the ceremony for us so we would have video of it!
They offered us a few options for food and drink at different price points, which was greatly appreciated — obviously, they’ll serve popcorn upon request. They also let us customize the marquee outside with a message for the event, which looked so cool and I think all of our guests took a video of it. All that, and the joy of knowing your purchase helps support NYC’s young filmmakers. What more could you ask for?
