Winter Wedding

Having my wedding at a local venue was something at the top of my list once I got engaged. With getting married in the winter there isn’t too many options where you can do the ceremony and reception all in one place and the Ramsdell provides just that! The whole day was honestly so magical. Having such a historic building in Manistee as an option for a wedding venue is priceless in my opinion. Laura was a tremendous help with planning, set up, and finalizing everything. I can’t express how thankful I am for her as she played a hand in making my wedding dreams come true. I would 100% recommend having the Ramsdell as a wedding venue to anyone who asks! I am thankful Manistee has the Ramsdell Theatre because I don’t see how my wedding could have been done the same!

We had our wedding reception in the Hardy Hall at the Ramsdell Theatre. It’s wood floors and interior are beautiful and fit perfect with our wedding theme. The lightening is amazing in this room and can be adjusted. The historical significance of the building and overall aesthetics are wonderful and add a special characteristic to the air. Mike and the Ramsdell Theatre staff were great to work with and helped us plan, set-up, and take down our decorations. They were professional, personable, and insightful. They were very generous and open minded too. They even worked with our vendors before and during our reception. We couldn’t ask for a better place and staff to work with on our wedding day. We are very grateful and had a great time with them. Even if you choose not to rent a room from them, this building is worth checking out! It is truly an enchanting place.
