About

Originally built to be a movie palace, The Stanley opened on September 10, 1928 with 2,963 seats. Constructed in just 13 months, it was designed by famous architect Thomas Lamb, who is considered one of the foremost designers of theaters and cinemas in the 20th century. His creations include the Fox Theatre in San Francisco and the Capitol Theatre in New York, both now demolished. It is one of three remaining Lamb theaters: The Stanley, Proctor’s Theatre, Schenectady, NY, and The Landmark Theatre, Syracuse, NY.

I fully recommend having your ceremony at the Stanley Theatre. My guests were SO impressed with the historic beauty of the venue, and I am SO proud to say I was married there.

Nichole is so helpful, caring, thorough and professional, and she even helped calm me down ahead of time. She coordinated everything so smoothly and professionally. Jerry is a friendly, approachable guy and they fit us in quickly while we were there for an impromptu visit.

The guy who sets up the chairs and equipment was so helpful and responsive, even though we changed our minds a few times about how to arrange things!!! They even let us use some beautiful antiques from the basement to help with the decor (which you really will save money, because you barely need anything to decorate this space- it's absolutely gorgeous!)

One tip if you get married here... make sure you get a Photographer who is exceptional with lighting. The lighting is very dim and there's not a lot of natural light, so you need someone extremely talented to work with the artificial light. We used Edward Dai from NYC and he curated elegant pictures that really captured the beauty of this amazing space.

For some reason, The Stanley isn't considered by very many people, but I really think we had a PHENOMENAL value for our money... it doesn't cost as much as you would think to have your ceremony there. We're SO glad we did.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
