After the ceremony, join us for dinner, drinks, and dancing at the historic Howell Opera House.

Built in 1881, the Opera House originally held retail spaces on the first floor with the theatre and balconies above. Until its closure in 1924, the theatre was the center of entertainment for the community. People would come from miles around to see jugglers, hear speeches from the likes of presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and industrialist Henry Ford, enjoy dinner theatre and parties, and see productions of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado" and Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

Today, the Opera House theatre on the second floor remains just as it had when the theatre closed over 80 years ago. During the reception, small groups will be taken upstairs for a guided tour.
