My wedding at The Scottish’s Rite was magical! Christina was absolutely amazing and so helpful. The venue was beautiful and the accommodations made for us were awesome. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone’s wedding! The decorations were done for us, we had the venue Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and we were able to come back Monday afternoon to get our items. Cannot express enough how amazing my wedding was because of The Scottish Rite.

The Scottish Rite is a beautiful and unique alternative to traditional wedding ceremony/reception venues. The history and architectural design of both the outside and inside of the building are beyond beautiful. Christina, the coordinator is so great to work with as well. She is very responsive with whatever questions you may have (and let me tell you, I had a bunch of questions) and is so helpful with getting the venue ready and exactly how you'd like it to be. My husband and I were extremely happy and satisfied with how our ceremony and reception turned out! We continue to receive comments on how beautiful, intimate and unique the ceremony cathedral was as well. Thank you Scottish Rite for providing us the perfect wedding at an extremely affordable price!!
