Testimonials

"The ambiance could not have been more perfect for my sons’ wedding. A last-minute decision turned out to be the perfect end to 2020 and a beautiful beginning for the new couple who originally planned to be married in the Spring of 2020. The Corning Opera House was absolutely perfect for the wedding ceremony and reception party. The rental process was seamless, rental costs were more than reasonable, and the Director was extremely accommodating. We could not have dreamed of a better location for the wedding ceremony.
​With our gratitude, the Gebbies."
