Yes, the Opera House is wheelchair accessible. For access into the Grand Hall we have a ramped entrance into the building. Those guests using the Terrace Level can drive down the back driveway to the Terrace Level.
The Opera House allows alcoholic beverages at rental events. You are responsible for complying with Michigan state laws pertaining to the serving and use of alcohol. There will be no cash bars allowed without a state license permit, which will be your responsibility to obtain.
The Opera House parking lot will accommodate 45 vehicles. There is a City parking lot across the street from the Opera House parking lot which can also be used, along with street parking. Both options are free.
A date is secured when a contract has been completed and signed, and a deposit equal to one-half of the facility rental cost for your event has been made.
We strongly recommend using a caterer from our Preferred Caterers list on the Resources Page, as they are familiar with the Opera House and help ensure a smooth event. There is no additional fee to use a preferred caterer. If you choose a non-preferred caterer, there will be an additional per-person catering fee applied, which is due 15 days before your event. Non-preferred caterers are also required to provide proof of a valid kitchen license and liability insurance before approval.
