The team at Buskirk-Chumley Theater provided excellent communication and consistency throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their friendly and professional staff were a huge help, walking me through every detail needed for the space. The quality of their work and the value they provided was top-notch - they even included a tech specialist who assisted with the lighting and music setup. The staff arrived early and had the tables beautifully arranged, making the day so easy and stress-free. I'm grateful for their large, high-quality contribution to making our special day a success!

The 12,000 square foot area will easily seat 400 guests {300 on main level + 100 upstairs}; however, it is easy to make the space seem more quaint for smaller parties. We have a private parking lot in the back and the corner lot allows for ample street parking. Our elegant + industrial look is complete with a grand staircase, a "U" shaped balcony that overlooks the dance floor, a bank vault converted to a ready room, and an additional large suite/ready room with plenty of mirrors and plug-ins! The strategically placed lighting {most of which are on dimmers} will create the most perfect ambiance and decorating can be minimal!

The Grand Bankquet Hall is a venue unlike any other in our area. It is an architectural beauty that the owners have meticulously curated into a gorgeous event space. It is nestled perfectly in a historic downtown setting, and can create such an elegant wedding experience. It has built in beautiful elements with the natural light that filters in from the windows, gorgeous chandeliers, and accents of retained elements from its days serving as a local bank. It comes with a complete bridal and groom suite to get ready in. It serves not only as a reception venue, but the perfect place for wedding photographs and can accommodate a wedding ceremony. Leah and her team are truly amazing and easy to work with. They continue to update and add new elements to the venue. It is such a versatile space, and can be transformed into any style of wedding that you desire. We were one of the first couples to use the space when it opened in 2019, and we could not recommend this venue more!
