The Venue

We've been busy setting the stage for our big day...literally! After looking into just about every possible wedding venue in the tri-state area (once Savannah was ruled out), my Mom suggested we look into The Warner Theatre. Hmm...interesting idea, Mom. It's different, which was very important to us. It's gorgeous, meaning big savings on decorating. It's indoor, so no worry about rain interfering with any plans. And the best part, it's owned by the Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts, so our money would be going to a good cause. Let's do it!

The Warner is a stunning art deco theatre built by the Warner Bros. in 1931. It gave us goose bumps when we took a tour and we can't wait until we get to share it with you. Here are some pics:

The marquis out front...our names will be up there :)


The lobby, which will be home to cocktail hour, woo hoo!


The view from the stage. Wait until you see this place, EVERY inch is covered in detail!


The star, besides being amazingly decorative, is actually the air conditioning unit!


Can you tell we love our venue?

  1. Matt and Bridgit,

    We just got your card today. We want to congratulate you and are so excited for you both. We checked out the theatre on line and it looks beautiful. We took the virtual tour and read the history. What a magnificant place. Gee, sometimes Mom's do know a thing or too!!! :) See you soon. Love, Diana & Steve
