Every detail was handled as if it were their own wedding, the staff was beyond accomodating, they returned calls right away and stayed in contact with me every step of the way. The dresssing rooms provided gave our families enough space to spread out to be comfortable. They even provided chairs for elderly family memebers when we were taking pictures in the grand lobby. Every tiny detail was thought of and taken care of. Our name on the marque was one of the extra touches they provided.
The theatre will allow for so many specialized photo opportunities to make your wedding not only breath taking but special. This place is a gem and so is the staff. The bridal walk down the center aisle was absolutely priceless and extremely memorable. I wish I could do it all again. Our friends and family say our weding was the wedding of the decade.
