The Mission Theatre

We loved the venue. The theatre has character, however we had a lot of problems with the venue itself. The venue needs a good bath. It is extremely dirty. The stage is in terrible shape and so is the flooring. Also, the men's bathroom has a "glory hole" in it. The stairs were falling apart and actually broke while we were there. My mom ducked taped it back together because neither the employees/owner seemed to care. The provided deejay service was horrible. We hired a band to play the wedding and during a set break the deejay started up and after one song the speakers over heated and shut off. Thankfully the band was able to start right away. The theatre had told us previously that we would be able to come get our decorations the next day but at 11pm we were told we had to be out by 11:30pm that night. This had never been previously discussed. We loved the venue but everything considered would not use again. The concept of the venue is great but needs a new owner/management. It is poorly ran and maintained.

The Mission Theatre was awesome for my wedding and reception. I could not of asked for more. Ryan and his staff were wonderful to work with, they were very polite and helpful in everyway. The night was a great success and everyone had a ball! They have a great set up and schedule. Everything went as planned, and we got to do everything that we wanted to do plus more ;-) It was the best night ever!

We were very impressed with The Mission Theatre for our daughter's wedding. We have heard nothing but great remarks on how lovely the ceremony and the reception was. Ryan knew what he was doing and made sure the whole day ran smoothly and into the evening helped us make a very memorable wedding for Shelly and Blayne. I would highly recommend The Mission Theatre.John and KathyFather & Mother of the Bride:)

I couldn't have asked for a better reception site. Ryan and the staff were nothing but helpful. Everything went as planned. They even set up all our decorations so we wouldn't have to stress over them. We also used their Photography service and they did a great job in giving us all that we wanted. I would recommend the mission theatre to everyone. We loved it and so did all our guest.

Ben ran our wedding reception. Everything was very nice and all of our guests had a great time.

We couldn't be any happier that we selected The Mission Theatre as our venue for our wedding and reception. They were tireless in making sure that our wedding went smoothly, and they stepped up to handle all issues so that we would be able to relax and enjoy the festivities. They actually even let our event run over our scheduled time, which was a really special surprise. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone. We were concerned about the DJ being "included" and not someone we specifically chose, but they did a tremendous job and the dance floor was going until the early hours of the morning.

My wedding reception held here was fabulous. They were willing to accommodate some of my more unique requests for the event including the use of a dance floor decal, homemade photobooth, and college mascot appearance. They were very attentive the entire night even getting the bride and groom drinks when they were low! I got many compliments on the music played as well. They kept the party going the whole night with a nice variety of music that kept people on the dance floor the whole time. The vintage theater atmosphere really makes the place warm and intimate. With this venue you really get an outstanding bang for your buck. It far surpasses the other generic banquet halls, country clubs, and even ball rooms that cost much more. I also had my photography through this vender and they had photos that were taken earlier that day at the ceremony playing on the theater screen by the end of the night in a slide show for everyone to see. It was really above and beyond what we expected. We can't wait to see the completed photography package.

We had my daughters wedding reception on 4/9/11 and I really enjoyed working with Ryan and Traci, they were very professional, quick to respond to questions and did a great job keeping the reception "moving" that night. The only thing I wish that the Icee machine would have been working, that was a big selling item for my daughter and her husband as they don't drink and for it not to be working was a disappointment.

I have been to two events at the mission theather. Each time I was amazed by the beauty. It is a gorgeous place to have an event.

The Mission Theatre was absolutely amazing! Ryan was great to work with and I wouldn't change a thing. He recently had the carpet replaced with hardwood floors and also had the dance floor refinished. It looks fantastic in there! All of our guests raved about how great of a place it was. I cannot recommend this place enough!! It absolutely cannot be beat for what you get for your money!

So impressed with the venue and the customer service. Ryan was so flexible and ensured all of our wants and needs were met! He does a terrific job of making your special day all that is can be! The place is very reasonable considering everything is included!Great job, Ryan and thank you for making our day so special!!! :-)

Everything at Mission Theatre went very smoothly. Ryan and his staff truly did go above and beyond the call of duty by assisting us in any way possible. Ryan was also excellent in the DJ/Personality catagory. He made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Ryan managed to throw in details to our ceremony that we had just told him about moments before going on stage. An excellent job on our ceremony, slideshows and every other detail throughout our wedding day!Thanks Ryan and Mission Theatre staff, we are happy we chose you all as part of our wedding day!

Overall we were very pleased with our reception at the Mission Theatre. Having worked in the event business before I was picky, but Ryan did a good job and helped to make our day a success. There isn't a full kitchen, but you would never know (if you choose the right caterer who is familiar with the space) our food was on time, amazing, and the service was great. Ryan was very attentive during the reception. He checked with us constantly to make sure we were happy and he did a great job keeping everything on track. It is a GREAT value in a very unique setting. If I had to mention something that wasn't 100% I would say that by the end of the evening the music got off track and cleared the dance floor and some songs we requested were missed. Also, there are alot of improvement projects going on in the rooms around the main theatre that you have to be willing to overlook. It was a great evening though and Ryan added a lot of little touches that made it beautiful. It was really low stress...which is something every bride needs. Ryan was also very flexible with our arrival, decorating, and clean up times. It was a great day and I would reccommend it to future brides.

The Mission Theatre is a gem! The owner, Ryan, was super helpful and the place was absolutely beautiful. We had a ton of people tell us that they had never been to a more beautiful or fun wedding. The catering can be an issue, as there is not much of a kitchen, but we had a full dinner as our ceremony was at four, and it worked out just fine. For the price, you will not find a better value or more elegant setting. Ryan is also an excellent DJ and his services are included in the rental fee, although you can outsource if you prefer. I would recommend the Mission Theatre to any bride looking for a ceremony and/or reception venue.

My husband and I had our reception at The Mission Theatre on Sept. 19, 2009 and absoutely enjoyed every minute of it. It was laid back, Ryan made the entire event smooth and funny. Great personality for a DJ! The staff was wonderful as well. I did a lot of research on reception sites due to our budget and this was by far the best bang for your buck! They even went above and beyond and used their bus to make a couple trips back and forth from the Ramada Inn. I would definitely sugest this place to any bride!Andrea & Josh Gatewood

My husband and I were provided with the following services from The Mission Theatre:1. Wedding Ceremony/Reception Site2. Officiate for Ceremony3. Open Bar Services4. DJ ServicesOur experience with Ryan was always pleasant. We are pretty laid back and easy to please, however there were a couple problems that I would suggest looking into when planning your wedding with him.-Completely unprepared with the dance music that was requested (one of my wedding guests ended up hooking up his own ipod and taking care of the music himself)-Did not include a specifically requested line in the wedding vowsI will say that the music is partly my fault due to getting the information to Ryan last minute, however I believe there was still time enough for him to be better prepared. Overall, aside from those issues, the open bar services were great and the staff was friendly. The theatre itself is a nice venue for the price, and it looks amazing with all the decorations and lighting.

Please don't use this vendor. Ryan changed things up until the day of the wedding, he was arrogant, rude, and unprofessional.

The staff and management at Mission Theatre was absolutely fantastic. Everything went smoothly and there were absolutely no concerns on my fiancee or my behalf that things were going well. The package at the theatre that we used included the officiant for the ceremony, DJ, bartenders and drinks, ceremony and reception, as well as the setup and tear down of the hall for a total group of 150 guests. We could not have asked for a better place for our wedding. Thank you to Ryan and his entire staff for the great day.

my wedding was beautiful. they took care of the dj, the ceremony,and the officiant. i had an amazing wedding there.

Ryan has been great so far - a truly non stress person to work with. The reception rental INCLUDES linens, beer and wine and soda, DJ services, an original venue, plus our names on the marquee out front! Great experience!
