“We hosted our company's business at 1886 Stafford Opera House with 40 guests in the Buddy Rao Room and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Leslie was an amazing communicator from start to finish, keeping us informed at every step and making sure the day ran smoothly without any hiccups. The venue itself is located in such a cute little town and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Everything about the space and service was exactly what we needed, and the staff made us feel like we were their only priority. Their fast and efficient communication style, paired with their personal touch, made planning stress-free. We'd absolutely recommend 1886 Stafford Opera House to any person looking for a charming and well-run venue.”
