Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts

Located in Muskegon, MI, the Frauenthal Center is a flexible wedding venue with an artistic edge. Couples can rent this historic space for their milestone celebrations. The venue first opened its doors in 1929 as the Michigan Theatre under the ownership of entertainer Paul Schlossman. Originally a chic movie theatre, it now sets the stage for concerts, symphonies, and more. A choice of dramatic indoor spaces is available for holding events large and small. Soon-to-be-weds can take advantage of the venue's regal Spanish design to hold captivating celebrations. This local theater has been lovingly renovated by the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. After receiving a generous sum from local philanthropist Harold Frauenthal, they were able to buy the building. As a result, the Frauenthal Center was born. In the 90s, the property was finally restored to its former glory. The building's classic design is visible from the moment guests step through the door. The happy couple can choose to mark their new beginnings in the Frauenthal Center. Inspired by the Spanish Renaissance style, this space is fitted with traditional red theater seats. Ornate patterns and gold tones create a stately atmosphere. On-stage receptions hold up to 150 loved ones. There is space for theater-style celebrations of over 1,700.
