Stambaugh Auditorium Wedding

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Stambaugh Auditorium for our wedding day. The venue is beautiful and fit the vision for our wedding perfectly. The event coordinator Julia was the best! All of the staff were extremely responsive, organized, helpful, and kind. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Gorgeous Venue

Stambaugh Auditorium is a gorgeous venue with an incredibly professional and accommodating staff! The opportunities for unique and classy photos hide in every crevice of this auditorium! The hall itself is roomy and has a large dance floor...which we used all night long! I also liked choosing my own caterer.

Stambaugh Auditorium was a sentimental choice for my husband and I- we both had our high school graduations in the auditorium seven and eight years before our wedding, so we knew immediately that this was the place for us. We had our ceremony in Christman Hall and our reception in the ballroom- it was the best decision we made to have the entire day in one venue. Like a few other reviewers, we were bounced around between a couple of coordinators, and we finally landed with Bianca four weeks before the wedding. Even with the last-minute switch, she was beyond wonderful to work with and our day turned out exactly as we wanted it to. The perfection that is the building, along with the amount of care and attention to detail that our coordinator and the rest of the staff had for our wedding made it well worth the price!

Such an amazing venue with minimal decorating needed! We kept it simple with table arrangements, black and ivory and it really made the flowers pop! Awesome people! Amber was amazing and supportive for the whole ride!

We had a beautiful wedding at Christman Hall. Staff was very helpful with preparations and making sure we had everything we needed. Location is one of the coolest and photo-opportunic places to take pictures of bridal party. I would highly recommend this venue for any bride and groom.

We held our wedding ceremony at Christman Hall in Stambaugh Auditorium. From the first time we visited, we knew this was the place for our wedding ceremony. Our contact person changed a few times, but it all worked out in the end and no details were lost. Dani was the final person we worked with and she was wonderful. During the rehearsal and the ceremony, we had the help of both Dani and Julia. They were quick to offer suggestions and guidance and relieved so much of the stress. Dani served as the total event coordinator throughout the day of the wedding - she even hid the groom so he wouldn't see me before the ceremony! Stambaugh also allowed the groom and his groomsmen to come in a little early to get ready. The boys had their own private “lounge” and so did I and the bridesmaids. Since there were no other events going on that day, after the wedding we had access to the entire venue for photos (our wedding was on a Sunday, so this may not be the case on a Friday or Saturday). It is naturally a very beautiful venue and provides for some amazing photo opportunities. I highly recommend Stambaugh!

Stambaugh Auditorium was the perfect venue for my daughter's wedding. It is a beautiful building and our guests loved having the ceremony and reception in one location. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. They answered my many questions promptly, they gladly helped me with all of my requests and the wedding day ran so smoothly! I would highly recommend Stambaugh Auditorium to everyone.

Stambaugh was absolutely gorgeous for my wedding ceremony and we could not have picked a better venue. The building is truly breathtaking. I had to switch between a few wedding coordinators with them due to staffing issues but they got it straightened out and Carissa was so professional and accommodating. She was truly a wedding coordinator and I could not have pulled my ceremony off without her and her assistant. Also, the Christman room has a baby grand piano that I had a pianist play during the ceremony and it adds so much elegance to the room and feel of the ceremony. The price can seem steep at first but when you factor in all the work they do to help you, the accommodations they make for you, and the sheer beauty of the building it's completely worth it.

We had our reception at Stambaugh in the ball room and it was breath taking. Everything was perfect and stambaugh's staff made sure of it. Carissa got us into another room to take quick pictures before a ceremony was held in there because our photographer wanted to take the picture. Honestly they made our wedding reception amazing. They even checked in on us to make sure everything was going as planned.

I can't say enough about Stambaugh Auditorium. Every event I have ever shot there has been simply amazing. The staff is very professional and organized. The day runs very smoothly. The location is just gorgeous. I've shot all over the building inside and out - both ceremonies and receptions and it is by far my favorite!
