We offer wedding ceremony and reception venues, as well as private parties, rehearsal dinners, and bridal showers. The Wi******er Opera House was built in 1873 by James D. The Opera House was the mayor's gift to the city to be utilized as a cultural center for the performing arts. It hosted Off Broadway Productions, Classical Concerts and Community galas. The majestic building was purchased by Edw

ard and Vanessa Ziembroski in 2003. The Ziembroski’s have meticulously renovated the facility to become one of the Premier Historic venues here in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. The Ziembroski’s have been awarded recognition in Historic Preservation as well as the Downtown business enhancement award for the City upon completion of The Ballroom and Gallery. With three ceremony locations, newly added bridal suites on location, the Wi******er Opera House offers something for everyone! Book a tour today to view all of our properties!

We know many students have been looking forward to the Soirée dance this Saturday, and we truly share in their excitement. However, due to the severe weather this week, our extended time out of the building, and the continued uncertainty for the remainder of the week, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the dance. This decision was not made lightly. Student safety is always our top priority, and after careful consideration of timing and logistics, we determined that postponing the event is the most responsible choice to ensure all safety expectations are fully met.

The Soirée dance has been rescheduled for Friday, February 13th from 7:00–10:00 PM at the Wi******er Opera House. We are excited to still be able to provide this experience for our students and look forward to celebrating together very soon.

We understand this news may be disappointing, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep our students safe while still creating meaningful opportunities for them. Thank you for your continued support of GRC.
