Beautiful historical venue

We just had our wedding here on Nov 13th. The place is absolutely beautiful. We had been searching around for a historical venue for our wedding and happened upon this place. We fell in love instantly. Cynthia and her staff were super friendly and very accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The Most Amazing day!

We had such an amazing experience with The Lyceum and with Cynthia, Sheila and the entire team. Cynthia was always there for us when we had a question, and she made the whole process seamless. Everyone still continues to tell us how beautiful the venue was, and how gorgeous the stained glass windows are. It truly is breathtaking and certainly a one of a kind venue.
