    The Glendale Lyceum was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was consistently prompt, friendly, and professional. The historic building has been beautifully renovated, with a gorgeous library space, an amazing bridal suite, and even a cozy groom's pub. They were incredibly helpful in coordinating our wedding rehearsal and timeline, which made the day go seamlessly. We loved having everything in one location - it allowed us and our guests to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration without having to worry about logistics. The Glendale Lyceum truly exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding there.
