Historic German House

The German House was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding - not too rustic and not too modern, this venue is the perfect blend of timeless elegance! He loved all the wood throughout the building and I loved the patterned ceilings and gold accents. The bridal suite was a beautiful sunny room that was perfect for getting ready in and photos with my bridesmaids. We were married in front of a cross arbor with the curtains closed, which helped us transition the ballroom throughout the day. We had an intimate dinner on top of the stage, and a larger reception that was accommodated by the large, open ballroom. We filled the shelves in the ballroom with our guestbook, card box, advice cards, wooden letters, and other unique decorations which got so many compliments from our guests! A unique highlight for me was the fun photos we got with the red carpet staircase and theater balcony portion of the building. I cannot stop looking at our photos and highly recommend this venue!!

The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy was incredible! The actors, cocktails, and immersive storytelling truly brought Poe’s works to life. It was the perfect mix of eerie and fun. I wish there were more interactive events like this in Rochester — I’d go to every single one!

Everything about this performance was absolutely incredible. We would go again immediately if it was still in town, that's how much we loved it.

The atmosphere in the German house was perfect for this performances. The Edgar Allen Poe speakeasy was a great experience and I would go again.

This was a great show. They did a masterful job of providing entertaining comedy without detracting from the macabre nature of Poe’s work. The cocktails were very tasty. Just don’t go on an empty stomach and please agree on a designated driver ahead of time!
