The one thing I knew I wanted for my wedding was an out-of-the-box venue. I have been to so many weddings inside a standard hall and they all seem the same. After searching for unique wedding venues, we stumbled upon the Royal Oak Music Theatre... & I absolutely fell in love. Walking in at first, it might be difficult to envision a wedding layout in the space, but after understanding & seeing pictures, the room transform into, in my opinion, the best type of wedding layout. You walk into the theatre entryway: gorgeous & a large space. We used this space as our entry way and our area for cocktail hour. We had 300 guests & this space was great! You walk over to the biggest bar I have ever seen for a wedding! Our second request for our wedding was a cool bar atmosphere (because we wanted our guests to have the best time) and check that off the box. This bar area is incredible. Not only is it huge, it really is a place for guests to socialize and talk. Most wedding bars – people wait in this huge line, pushing their way up to the 1 or 2 bartenders on staff. This bar is so huge, that everyone can hang around the bar. Since we had 300 guests, we had 4 bartenders & an additional runner – so no one was waiting on a drink. I loved seeing guests hang around the bar & using it to socialize with other guests. Then you look into the theatre, which is set up so no matter where you sit, you get the best seat in the house. The theatre has little slight levels – broken out by a few stairs each. The levels allow all guests to be close to the action and get a great view of the reception events. Sometimes you go to a wedding & can barely see what is happening when you get stuck in the back corner – but that is not the case here. We decided to have the bridal party sit on the stage, which I loved – again because everyone could see us. & you have the biggest dance floor to keep your guests dancing & partying all throughout the night! & you can’t forget having your names outside on the huge, bright sign?! This space is absolutely insane. I have guests telling me over & over again that this was the best wedding that they have ever been too – 300 guests – many been to countless weddings – & this was the most memorable wedding. That right there was what I was looking for – & that is what you will get with the ROMT as your venue!!! But, I can’t forget those that helped me every step of the way to create this amazing wedding: Jessie & Shae. You will work with these fabulous ladies from the minute you ask to visit the venue till a month after your wedding when you are still emailing about how great the night was!!! They are the best to work with. They are so experienced with wedding planning, but also with what works & what doesn’t work in this specific space. They are always open to answer questions & help you with whatever you need like advice, vendors, etc. I worked with them both for almost a year – & they listened to my vision and helped me create that. That made great suggestions & offered a lot especially because I really had no idea what I was doing! I can not say enough good words about the venue, Jessie & Shae. My guests continuously talk about our wedding & it is two months later. If you are a bride or groom looking for a memorable venue & one amazing party / event, the ROMT is the venue for you! I can only speak about my wedding, but I know this venue would be great for other events because you have Jessie and Shae to help make your vision perfect!!
