I'm getting married in a movie theater too! Amazingly, I got the idea before I found this website, but I am sure glad I did. My Rocky Horror Picture Show cast, Help Me Mommy (NW Indiana, Hobart) performs Rocky in this awesome theater built in 1930. It has two gigantic murals inside (space pegasus and one-boobed ladies that glow under blacklight! haha!). The best part is the owner isn't charging us because we're Rocky folks Wonderful pictures, and thanks for the inspiration!

I was a bridesmaid at a wedding at the Naro in 2001 — and I believe that it was the first wedding the Naro had. The couple I stood up for were, at the time, the directors for the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has been at the Naro for 30 years. It was a great wedding! Very offbeat, too.

Hi Guys,

If you're looking for a similar venue in the New York/New Jersey area, check this place out. I'm getting married there in October and it's stunning. Best part – it's so beautiful already you don't have to blow your budget on decor!

My friends got married last year in October at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA (historical site for its appearance in the original 1930s Blob http://www.thecolonialtheatre.com/). It was only $500 to rent for the day, had their names on the marquee and its just a classic old style theater so that was a plus. Made me start thinking about doing something similar. The best part was when we all stood outside taking pictures of the wedding party in front of the theater. Had to stop traffic a few times on the busy street so the photographer could stand further back. Plus they had the local bagpipe band playing, it was quite the sight.

There are a couple of movie theatres in Toronto that you can use as a wedding venue too. It's such a fun idea!

Oh WOW! I am so excited that one of our pics made it to the blog Ariel! This site really gave me the focus and belief that I could do anything that I wanted with this wedding. I appreciate all of the strong women that you give a voice to every day.

As for Stacy's question you can find a lot of vintage dress shops online, I went to a traditional dress shop with a GREAT alterations department. I got a inexpensive destination wedding dress, upped the hemline, and added some child sized crinoline underneath to get the volume I wanted. The folks I worked with were great, I told them my vision of a Dorothy Dandridge wedding and they helped me pull it off with wonderful bridesmaids dresses to boot.
