My husband and I were looking for an architecturally stunning building and the Lyric Opera was certainly it! We rented the Graham Room, a set of 5 rooms in the upstairs of the Lyri...
c. This space was a great fit for our 60-ish person wedding.
Our guests were able to walk around the lobby and mezzanine even though we rented out a section of rooms in the venue. We were also the only event in the entire opera house, as the Lyric only hosts one event at a time, so our guests were able to explore during the cocktail hour.
Lastly, our coordinator, Megan, was absolutely amazing. I worked with her from the initial information gathering stage all the way to our wedding day.

Having her help on the event day helped alleviate a lot of stress and she was able to take over the day-of last minute prep at the Lyric while I was taking pictures. I can't say enough about how amazing she was!

and, as a result, we saved a lot by not bringing in a lot of additional decorations. She worked seamlessly with our caterer, leading to a a smooth and well-coordinated experience. I would definitely recommend the Lyric Opera House for a wedding or event.
I attended a wedding at the Civic Opera House - it was so beautiful! Both the ceremony and reception were held there. Its high ceilings and expansive spaces made the space such an ...
elegant and unique place for a wedding.
We gathered in the mezzanine for cocktail hour. The views were gorgeous. After the reception, the party continued in another room, perfect for listening to live music and dancing!
All in all, an awesome wedding. Easy to get to, great downtown location - loved it!
