Best place ever!

This is seriously the most beautiful place! Who wouldn’t want their name on a marquee or their own dressing room? The price point is also amazing. Tim was super helpful and I couldn’t imagine selecting any other vendor.

The Lyric was a beautiful venue for our wedding. Tim Small was our point person and he did an incredible job. Our ceremony was supposed to be in the courtyard but it rained the day of, they were so quick to create a perfect back-up plan and everything went so well. It was in amazing day thanks to the staff.

Mr. Jack Wollman is so wonderful to work with. Paid in parts for our wedding reception. $1000 included their security (due to liquor) a poster case, the marquee, 150 chairs and like 25 tables, and the set up of the tables! Spent the whole week before the wedding dropping things off and probably driving him crazy. Sooooo awesome to work with!

This venue is amazing! The prices were awesome and I loved having the flexibility of having a rain contingency for my outdoor ceremony (which I had to use). After looking at other venues who wanted four or five thousand for a short ceremony and 4 hour reception I was discouraged. The Lyric was mine from 9am til 9pm and less than half of other venues. We had amazing dressing rooms, anot amazing blank slate of a reception area to decorate how we wanted, tables and chairs available, and tons of unique spaces to have pictures taken.

This venue has a courtyard (for small to average weddings), theater (for larger weddings), and reception area. In case of rain for those having an outdoor wedding, they will set up the ceremony area in indoors. There is also a marquee that can be rented for next to nothing for a week. They are very helpful, professional, and a joy to work with.

The Lyric Theatre had great pricing, and was very easy to work with. From start to finish they were very responsive, and let me do a couple extra walkthroughs. A plus and a minus is that it's basically just a large blank slate of a room, so all decorations must be done by you, but I liked the possibility of making it anything I wanted! We had our ceremony in the courtyard and the reception in the multipurpose room and it worked very well.

The Lyric Theater is wonderful. They have a dedicated staff that really care about your wedding. They listen to what you want from them and try to make it work. They do set-up and take-down and check on you and your guests through out the night to make sure everything is going to plan. And their prices were amazing! If I planned a big party I would choose this place all over again because the the quality of service and all the amazing things they have to offer. They also have tables and 150 chairs on sight that come with the rental. We enjoyed working with them so much we donated our deposit back to the theater so they could continue to do some of the amazing programs that they do.

Excellent venue for our reception (could easily do ceremony as well). Affordable ($75/hr) and beautiful with plenty of parking. Great dance floor space, and kitchen area. Staff were friendly & helpful. You can pay to have your names on the marquee which was beautiful, only complaint was they took down our names while we were still there, quite a let down.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
