It will be able to accommodate wedding ceremonies from two to 200 people.  

Packages include the use of the stage for the wedding, access to dressing rooms for important pre-ceremony touch ups, drinks packages in the refurbished bars and exclusive use of the Ambassador Theatre Lounge.

Laura McMillan, theatre director for the Grand Opera House, said “We are thrilled to provide couples with the opportunity to wed in the iconic surroundings of the Grand Opera House.

“Our stage has hosted stars from Gary Barlow to Vivien Leigh and is a truly dramatic place to get married.”

Dates are available from August this year and any interested couples are encouraged to contact [email protected] for more information and to arrange a site visit.
