Scottish Rite Masonic Center

We were there for the Pretty Things Peepshow, which seemed like a strange combination with the whole Mason thing. We thought we were in the wrong place at first when we walked in and a bunch of older men were set up at the ticket table. I turned bright red when I had to ask them if this was where the peepshow was (they laughed and said yes). The theatre itself is beautiful and small. Not a bad seat in the place. We looked around at the relics downstairs for a bit afterward.

The Scottish Rite was a an amazing spot for our wedding reception! Gregg, the onsite contact for weddings and events, was great to work with and provided planning materials I needed! The Scottish Rite members did the greeting at our wedding and were very hospitable throughout the process!
Pros:
–Outside vendors!!! You can use almost anyone you want for all rentals, catering, bar, etc. Great way to save money on a wedding!
–GORGEOUS historical space. Just tour and see.
–3^rd floor THEATER!!! I would have loved to do more with the theater…
–Wood floors! (excellent for the dance floor!)
–Entrance is a terrace and has trees and greenery. Very nice!
Cons:
–Lighting. It was a little dark. We had up-​lighting in partnership with our DJ and that helped a lot!
–Bar in separate room… some DJ’s announcements couldn’t be heard in the bar. Some guests ended up spending a lot of time there. Although, they would have probably been awkwardly sitting at their tables so maybe this is actually a plus?
I absolutely loved our Reception at the Scottish Rite! :)
