Stambaugh Auditorium

An Auditorium in Youngstown, Ohio

1000 5th Ave, Youngstown, OH 44504

330-747-5175

When it is not hosting world-class singers, performers, operas, and plays, Stambaugh Auditorium is an amazingly beautiful and versatile wedding venue.  The Auditorium was original built in the 1920s and it still retains every last drop of charm from that period, both inside and out.

 

Ceremonies

Wedding ceremonies can take place in the Anne K. Christman Memorial Hall on the third level.  We especially love the ornate ceiling and columns, herringbone hardwood floors, and chandeliers in this space.

 

During the wedding ceremony, a groom in a black tuxedo breaks a glass with his foot, while the smiling bride in a white strapless gown and veil looks on. Bridesmaids in light blue dresses stand in the background, holding bouquets under decorative greenery, creating a picturesque portrait.

What We Love About Stambaugh Auditorium

Simply put – this place is just a gem.  We barely got to scratch the surface of what the Auditorium has to offer.  You feel like you really step back in time as you walk through the lobbies and there is ample space to host even the most ambitious and grand events.

If you are planning a wedding at Stambaugh Auditorium, we would love to be the photographers that help you realize your vision!
