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.
