I’m so excited to share that the beautiful historic theater, The Granada, is available for weddings and private events! The building was recently renovated and all of the original details from the 1920’s have been beautifully restored. Best of all, you can put your name on the marquee for your wedding!

The lobby features beautifully painted ceilings, wrought iron, chandeliers, and deep red carpet.

It is available for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour.

Upstairs is the founder’s room that can host up to 130 guests for dinner. Dancing can take place just outside the room (above).

It features a built in bar and fireplace (though you cannot build a fire!). It would also be a great location to host a rehearsal dinner, especially it you wanted to share historical Santa Barbara with your guests.

Another option for the reception is to have dinner on stage. You can accommodate about 150 guests or so. It should be noted that you can use the lights the theater has, though you must pay the union to set these up for you.

Sherri,
Hi- I’m Kelly’s contact at The Granada. Always feel free to inquire as far out in advance as you like. In most cases if I can’t book a date b/c it’s too far out I can at least place a hold for you.
One other exciting addition since Kelly blogged: events on stage can be booked a year out!
Thanks for the positive comments! – Kate Kurlas, Marketing, The Granada

Yes Yes Yes! Love it. So how does the booking work? Say your date was for April of next year? Would you have to wait until Jan of 2010 to book?

Nice! This is a beautiful place:)
