The Jefferson Theater

The Jefferson Theatre is a unique wedding venue located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Established in 1912 as a live performance venue for silent films and vaudeville acts, it has hosted an array of iconic performers, including Harry Houdini and the Three Stooges.

You'll get full access to their state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and technical support if it is needed, and your wedding entertainment can perform on the stage. The Jefferson Theater is uniquely suited to present entertainment at the highest level as it produces over 120 concerts per year on its stage.
