“If you're looking for a wedding venue that is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and supported by a fantastic team, we cannot recommend the Orpheum enough! From the beginning, everyone was so easy to work with. Mike and Briony were wonderful and helped us turn our ideas into the wedding we had envisioned. The entire venue worked so well for our day, and we loved how many different spaces were available for different parts of the experience. The Moon Lounge was one of our favorite features. It gave us a quiet, private place to spend time together during the reception without feeling disconnected from our guests. The bridal and groom’s suites were also excellent, and the ability to watch the venue being set up through the video cameras on the TV while getting ready was such a thoughtful and fun feature. The main reception space was gorgeous and already beautifully decorated, which saved us from needing lots of extra decor. We also loved having an outdoor area where guests could play cornhole, relax, and get some fresh air during the cocktail hour or as a dancing alternative. The Orpheum made our wedding feel special from beginning to end. Between the beautiful space, the unique amenities, and the wonderful people who helped make it happen, we couldn't have asked for more. We are so happy we chose the Orpheum and would recommend it wholeheartedly to other couples!”
