The theatre, accommodating up to 225 guests, showcases striking red walls and retains many of its original features. Art Deco decor fills the space with old-school charm and nostalgia.

We couldn’t have been happier

As soon as we walked into The Suffolk Theatre, we both knew that was where we were going to get married. Being theatre industry professionals ourselves, we had a specific vibe we wanted for our wedding and this place could not have been more perfect. Not only was the classic and unique aesthetic exactly right for the romantic and whimsical wedding we were planning, but the staff and technicians working with us this last year, run as tight of a ship as any theatre we have ever worked for. Our venue coordinator, Kristen, is even more organized than even my own type-A little heart. You are in good hands with her running your “show.” She is thorough, detailed, and truly gave us the sense that she was just as invested in the success of the day as we were. We’re still fielding comments from our bridal party about just how stellar Kristen was and how she managed to make one of the most stressful days of our lives flow so smoothly. Kristen is a multi-tasking, organized, accessible, sweet, and professional all-star. The venue is insanely flexible with your requests, whether it be catering, decor, bar requirements, etc. If you have a specific idea, just ask. They bent over backwards to help us find a plan that was right for us. And we are STILL getting compliments about the food. Book this venue. Seriously. From start to finish, we never doubted if we had made the right choice.

I would have my wedding here again and again.

I cannot put into words how amazing everything turned out for our wedding day. Kristen and her team are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Kristen is such a sweet heart, honest, and professional. Her goal is to make you have the best time of your life and have your vision come alive which her and her team did just that. The Suffolk team are easy to communicate with and always get back to you quickly. To this day, our family and friends still talk about our wedding and say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to; between the attentive staff service, the scenic theatre and the close proximity to attractions and lodging, it was a perfect venue for a weekend for our friends and family. I HIGHLY recommend the Suffolk Theater and down the road L, I would love to have an out her party there.

Amazing Experience

We had the great fortune of getting married at the Suffolk Theater and I feel so lucky that we chose this gem of a venue. The space is stunning, the food was great and It cannot be overstated how wonderful the production team and staff are. Kristen, the director of events, went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was what we had envisioned. Leading up to the event we had wonderful communication with Kristen and the day of the wedding we felt looked after and cared for. It was apparent that Kristen truly wanted us to have a perfect day, and we did!

Our wedding was the best (and most fun) day of our lives and we could not have asked for a better venue than the Suffolk Theater.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
