perfectly and looked so good! The suites are so nice and set up so well for getting ready in! Literally every aspect of our experience with The Mission Theatre was great and hassle free! Sena made everything go so smoothly and I am so grateful for her and the rest of the staff!
We loved how we were able to use the marquee, red carpet, we made posters for the windows, etc! The chandeliers really pull the space together too!
We found them on the knot when I was looking for venues and I am so happy we did!

erything was made crystal clear during our final walk through. The venue was the perfect size for us and the bridal suite was the best place to get ready day of as well. We had our ceremony and reception at Mission Theatre and a room flip was required but it was so smooth and hardly noticeable at all. All of our guests were enjoying their drinks and the room was flipped so quick. The bar service was great as well, everyone was truly just so kind and sweet. The marquee sign was one of my favorite touches too, which we were able to customize for our wedding day. We also did all of our pictures on sight as well, utilizing the marquee sign in our photos and the cute alleyway off to the side for our first look. I loved our ceremony on the stage and we placed our sweetheart table on the stage for dinner. Then we were able to celebrate the night away without a worry in the world. Honestly, I have zero complaints. Our wedding day went so smoothly and Mission Theatre and their amazing team was a huge reason why. It was almost scary how stress free our wedding day was. I couldn't recommend this location enough!
They were amazing! The venue was perfect, I could not have asked for better group of people to run the day or a more beautiful venue

ger Sena was always quick to respond to any questions I had and was amazing at helping with any planning details I needed, such as picking out linens or coming up with a table floor plan that best fit our needs. Sena was always incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole planning process. The day of our wedding, Paige and her team were absolutely fabulous! From the moment we arrived at the venue to the moment we left, the Mission Theatre staff was working hard to help ensure our event went exactly as planned.
We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony & reception, Sena is amazing to work with. She is very detailed oriented and goes above and beyond to accommodate your requests and nee...
ds. The venue is timeless, elegant, and beautiful. They also have a bridal & grooms suite, no other venue had both! We can’t say enough great things about Sena and the venue! Thank you so much for making our day magical.
We really enjoyed having our reception at the Mission Theatre! First of all, it this venue is right down the street from our apartment, and we love the coziness of downtown Mission...
. The best part of this venue is the large bride and groom suites; the bridal suite was big enough for 8 women to have hair and makeup done (4 at a time). The suites also make for a great place to sit down and take a breather during the busy day. We had about 215 guests at our reception, and the theatre felt full but not over crowded. The bridal party was seated on the stage, which gave us a perfect vantage point to look out on the crowd during dinner and take in all of our family and friends. This venue was great for our taste, as it is stylish and elegant, but not overdone.
With all the venues to choose from, this one is truly SO unique, special and affordable! The renovated movie theater is beautiful inside with an ambiance that is different than any...
where else. You truly become the stars of your event for all the world and your guests to see - with the red carpet entrance under the two sided movie marquee and three huge movie poster windows to display whatever special photos you choose to enlarge and put on display. Easy to find and great curb appeal with blocks of renewed streets, sidewalks and parking.
The layout and amenities inside are awesome and the venue is impressive before you even begin to decorate. The staff is friendly, professional and wonderful to work with - customizing every detail you request and ensuring it's all in place according to your wishes. We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and we are so happy with our choice. For a classic and unique venue with a theme and execution like none other, The Mission Theatre is perfect.
Mission Theatre ended up at the top of our venue list following our tour. We loved the location and the space itself. It was beyond elegant with the grand chandeliers, but still ha...
d a cozy, smaller vibe at the same time. We were sold on the fact that the whole bridal party could get ready for the day in one location with the large bridal & groomsmen suites. The staff was timely in responses and stayed organized throughout our planning process.
My husband and I fell in love with The Mission Theatre when we first toured, and as movie lovers, an old theatre was the perfect place to host our wedding reception. The theatre ha...
s been beautifully renovated on the inside and out. We especially loved our photos in front of the personalizable marquee. Jaime, the venue manager was amazing to work with, checking in along the way and making sure everything was in place for our special day. All the event staff was amazing during our reception and I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend choosing The Mission Theatre for your wedding day!

They are very clear on what all they provide and no secret “extra fees”. Alexis the venue manager was great to work with. They also handle the bar and have different bar options to fit your budget. The whole venue staff were so friendly. The venue is beautiful on its own and didn’t feel the need to “decorate”, just had centerpieces on the tables. Very Art Deco and Great Gatsby vibe to it. They also have window boxes for movie posters you can use! Pictures attached. All the wedding guests love the posters and marquee sign!

ul in the planning too. She helped offer some of their provided decor items and offered advice for our schedule throughout the day. The bridal and groom's suites are an amazing atmosphere for getting ready. The personalized marquee, and modern but restored theater accents where some of our favorite parts of the venue. Thank you to the whole staff for your help in making our day so special!

Mission Theatre was absolutely breathtaking! I’m not an emotional person or a cryer, but the sheer elegance and beauty of this venue made me tear up the first time I saw it! The ch...
andeliers offer so much elegance, there’s not much real need for tons of decorations. Then there’s the dream-worthy staircase for a bridal entrance made in the movies!! And the bride suite and grooms room were BEYOND! They are spacious, gorgeously decorated/outfitted with all the luxuries, befitting of a king/queen!! And a king/queen is exactly how you’ll feel after you’ve met the superstar staff of the venue as well!! Our coordinator, Alexis Brewer was nothing short of fabulous!! She was so helpful, communicative and fun to talk to!! I never had any questions go unanswered, no details go unmentioned and never had a worry, knowing that she would be helping to take the reigns on our big day! Plus her fun, bubbly personality made her that much more fun to ‘do business’ with!! I definitely recommend this venue and it’s staff for any couple looking for an unforgettable experience from the first viewing of the space to days after your special day!!! 10/10!
Mission Theatre was the PERFECT venue for our reception. Simply put, it’s beautiful and elegant. Even without the set up. That’s when you know you’re going to have an amazing recep...
tion. The bridal and grooms suites are FABULOUS. We had so much fun getting ready in the morning! The marquee is also a great touch as well as the ally. We were able to fit all of our guests and they too spoke very highly of Mission Theatre. The bar line went smoothly & DJ booth is set up comfortably. The back drop was a fabulous touch as well with the string lights!!! We were able to meet with Alexis beforehand and had great communication via email, phone and in person. Mission Theatre is reliable and will deliver EXACTLY what you want. Thank you, Mission Theatre. We had a perfect day!
Erin and I just celebrated our wedding here a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. The space is perfect and not just a "white box" like so many other places we looked at, really h...
as some great character. The staff was very helpful every step of the way from planning, to seating, bar, DJ, and day of coordination with all the vendors. The only thing that we had to do the day of was show up and have an amazing time. Great if you have little ones running around because of the bride and groom suites upstairs that they can escape to as well. Highly recommend this to anyone looking!
Booking our wedding at the Mission Theatre was the absolute best decision we could have made! There was always great communication with them, which if you’re anything like me, that...
was most important especially during a pandemic.
Alexis was our go-to person for our big day and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it.
I would recommend this venue and Alexis over and over and over again. So extremely pleased with everything.

hat is happening throughout the event - they really care! The huge bridal suite and grooms suite is also a huge perk! We had the venue for 15 hours and my bride lived getting to get ready there instead of come later. A beautiful place to uoat your most important day!!
We love this venue and can’t wait for our special day there!
When you walk into a venue as the FOB and your daughter instantly falls in love with the bridal suite you know you have found the right location. Add to that Mission Theatre is s...
etup with a double sided bar, a built in DJ stand and special lighting is already located in the venue. The owners have done a great job converting an old movie theatre building into a beautiful wedding venue with a marquee out front to announce the bride and groom’s special day.
We were guests at a Mission Theatre event and the place was amazing. The staff was super-helpful and everyone loved the way the space looked on this special night.
I've had the occasion to attend several events at Mission Theater including weddings, receptions and most recently a fundraising event. The space is beautiful with an elegant lobb...
y and well thought out spaces for members of the bridal party. Additionally, the event space itself is a great size and affords all guests the ability to feel a part of the festivities. The sound system has always been excellent and there's a low-level staging area that provides visual access for attendees. Last night I had the opportunity to help with the event and saw the back of the house which services caterers and other event venders. It was spotless and well organized, providing excellent space and set up for those providing food and supplies. This venue provides an amazing space for a great variety of events and I would highly recommend it!
I was a guest at an event at Mission Theater. What a great venue. The atmosphere was fabulous, the food was great, and the staff was top notch!

I want to start by saying the venue is gorgeous! You really don't need much to put your special day together, because it really is beautiful on it's own. Michele was extremely help...
ful, she was easy to contact and always got back to me right away- which was really comforting towards the end! The rooms to get ready in are a dream, they are just beautiful. The only thing I would say that disappointed me a little is- I was originally showed the space by Julie, she promised us some things that when she left later where not honored. We also felt a bit rushed towards the end to clean up, there was still some time left that we had the space. Our names and posters were taken down outside, I believe during our reception. I just felt they could have left it up over night, or until everyone had left? All in all this is a beautiful space, and our day was wonderful. Michele is wonderful, just tiny things that disappointed me.
This is a gorgeous venue! Wonderful bridal and groom suites that are perfect for getting ready! Awesome chandeliers and fun wallpaper that really creative beautiful environment. We...
had a little confusion with a change of coordinators and some planning details but I felt the new coordinator really tried to work with us to resolve everything. Their AC had a little trouble keeping up with the July heat, but they were trying to address it as the day went on. Despite these little bumps in the road, it was still a good experience and our reception was a blast!
I think we were just unlucky with the timing of our booking. Our original coordinator who gave us the tour of the facility and explained all the details of the venue to us left a c...
ouple months after we signed the contract. She verbally assured us of certain flexible details that were the ultimate reason we decided to go with this venue, but when we followed up with the new coordinator she was unclear whether or not they would honor the previous coordinator's promises. It wasn't until the month of the wedding until we realized they weren't going to honor them, and honestly, without the perks the original coordinator had promised us, we would have gone with a different venue. Even apart from that disappointment, communication as a whole was poor. As an example, they showed us multiple floor plans leading up to the day of the wedding with tables they apparently didn't have. We were told the morning of our wedding that we needed to rent those tables from a separate vendor, which obviously we weren't able to do on such late notice. However, at the end of it all, it's a very beautiful venue and our guests enjoyed the reception very much. Without knowing the backstory, it would've been a great reception.
This is a wonderful and charming venue. Gorgeous space decorates itself, beautiful "getting ready" rooms - it's so nice that everything is at the same location and has that vintage...
vibe!
Our wedding was in June, and it was incredibly HOT inside, more than just heat from a lot of people in one space. We specifically chose an indoor venue so it would be cool for a summer wedding. I know the staff was working hard to help make it better, but it was much cooler outside and it made me feel bad for guests who had to sweat through it.
