The Baum Opera House was the perfect fit for our wedding day. From our first conversation, the team was quick to respond and truly knew their space inside and out. They even met us in the evening so we could measure things and make sure our vision would work, then helped us tweak a few ideas to fit the layout just right. Erin made it feel like working with an old friend. For the price, you honestly can't beat the amount of square footage and the beautiful bones of the building. The staff was friendly and easy to work with throughout the entire process, which made planning feel stress-free. We'd absolutely recommend The Baum to any couple looking for a venue that gives you great value without cutting corners.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Factory was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. April was super responsive and accommodating in planning our day! We would however recommend a wedding planner/coordinator which was an option within the venue packages. We went without a planner and had to scramble to orchestrate some details the day of. Small details, but overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend for couples that are looking for a more casual wedding day!
