Ceremony
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
111 Laureate Way, Kannapolis, NC 28081
We are so excited to be able to host our wedding ceremony in this beautiful vintage theatre! As both a live performance venue and one of the oldest single screen movie theatres in the United States, the Gem has been a vital part of Downtown Kannapolis since its opening in 1936. Recent renovations create the perfect union of classic movie magic and modern comfort. We can't wait to add our story to the long history of adventures shared in this space! Our ceremony will be a fun-filled, family-friendly, fantasy occasion! We encourage all guests to join in the adventure and show off your favorite tasteful costume or cosplay. Swords and other fantasy weapons encouraged - please carry all props safely and responsibly! Absolutely no open flames or smoke effects allowed!
