As major movie lovers, we were thrilled to have our wedding at Buskirk-Chumley Theater. From our first conversation, the team was friendly and easy to work with, answering all our questions without making us feel rushed. They gave us the information we needed to plan without overwhelming us, and their casual but professional approach made the whole process feel less stressful. The theater itself is stunning and historic, and they delivered so much value for what we paid. Jordan was our main point of contact, but the entire Buskirk-Chumley crew deserves a shoutout for their kindess and incredible work. We never had to second guess if this was the venue for us. They made us feel special, like they truly cared about making it feel like the perfect wedding. Also, they were very accomodating for the last minute mocktails we added to our menu. They provided excellent suggestions and we LOVED working with them. On our wedding day, they made everything run smoothly behind the scenes so we could just enjoy the celebration with our guests. We'd recommend Buskirk-Chumley to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares about making your day special.
