The Capitol Theatre is far more than a historic backdrop for movie nights—it’s a vibrant, flexible venue where unforgettable events unfold. With its iconic marquee, art deco charm, and variety of rental spaces, the Capitol offers something truly unique for weddings, showers, banquets, concerts, meetings, and more.

“Our motto is a stage for any setting’ because we host such a wide range of events,” says the Capitol team. From the grandeur of the Auditorium to the charm of the upstairs Attic, each space offers distinct character and versatility.

Beyond its striking aesthetic, the theatre surprises visitors with its size, amenities, and thoughtful support. Custom floor plans, event coordination options, and your name lit up on the marquee are just a few of the touches that make the experience memorable.

Whether you're planning something intimate or elaborate, the Capitol is where history meets celebration—and every guest leaves feeling like the star of the show.

A Stage for Any Setting

The art deco Auditorium is a showstopper. With seating for 400, a large stage, full sound system, and projection screen, it’s ideal for weddings, proms, recitals, and large corporate gatherings. From romantic vows to full-scale concerts, this space transforms to meet the moment—and its historic elegance always sets the perfect tone for unforgettable events.

Tailored Touches

The Attic offers warmth and intimacy, ideal for showers, private dinners, and milestone parties. With string lights, exposed brick, and space for 50 guests, it’s both cozy and photogenic. A spiral staircase adds visual flair, while elevator access ensures inclusivity. It’s perfect for meaningful moments with close family, friends, or colleagues in a beautifully unique setting.

Rentals include custom floor plans, and every event gets its name in lights on the marquee—a favorite photo moment. Add-ons like tech support, bartender service, or a nostalgic popcorn machine elevate the experience. While preserving the building’s charm limits some décor, the space remains flexible, allowing each event to feel personal, stylish, and completely your own.

Style Meets Service

Capitol Theatre’s team offers optional coordination and trusted vendor referrals to simplify planning. With events happening year-round, from nonprofit galas to winter holiday parties, booking early is key.
