Prepare for Your Wedding
Generally, our space is best suited when you have around 150 guests. Ceremonies can then be hosted in the Grand Foyer before guests would transition to the Mezzanine Lobby for the cocktail hour. After introduction of the bridal couple and the first dance, guests move into the Orchestra Lobby for dinner.
If you have more than 150 guests, then both the Mezzanine and the Orchestra have to be used for dining.
Stage weddings for around 250 guests are available on a case by case basis.
Use of the space for 3 hours prior to the event, the floorplan will be set with our inventory of tables and chairs up to 150 guests, event staff to assist with vendors, cleaner & building manger on site, post-event cleaning, breakdown and restore of the space.
The rental of the space is 9 hours. 3 hours for preset, 5 hours for cocktail hour & reception, and 1 hour for clean-up. If you have your ceremony onsite, the timeline is extended for 30 mins. You can purchase extra time in the venue, but all events must end at 11:30 p.m.
We have a non-refundable deposit policy. When you rent the space, we require a $500.00 deposit to secure the space and you can either pay in installments or in full 2 weeks prior to the event date. If you need to change the date, we will move those funds to the new date in the same calendar year, so you don’t lose your deposit.
The bridal party would have use of the dressing rooms which are located directly off the theater on the Orchestra level.
Yes. We can have set up a personalized message displayed on both our exterior Marquee as well as rotating images on our monitors inside the venue. You can supply us with the sized image for the Marquee or we can create in-house based on your wedding/party invitation.
You can bring in your own caterer; however, we encourage you to use our preferred vendors as they know the limitations of the space, their staff knows the layout and they have a reputation for producing beautiful events in our space.
The Palace can provide your beverages services to you or the caterer you choose may also offer you a beverage package. There are no minimums for use of the bar, and we work with our couples to customize a package that works best to suit their budget.
The Palace has several parking options for guests. Directly behind the theater is the Scovill Street Garage, which is free on weekends. Across the street is a lot managed by LAZ parking and there is a fee for parking there.
Yes, there is a coatroom available and we utilize our Palace Theater volunteers to manage that service.
If you're looking for a unique/non-traditional wedding venue, this is your spot!!! From beginning to end, the Palace Theater staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. They helped to make our day truly flawless and magical, we couldn't have asked for anything better!
