Monticello Opera House

Monticello Opera House is an elegant event venue in Monticello, Florida, that promotes arts and culture. It is a historic space that’s inclusive and part of the community and would be a prime place to tie the knot, given that it’s only 28 miles northeast of Tallahassee and that it’s a Southern mainstay.
