Built in 1915, featuring traditional theatre seating, state-of-the-art sound and digital projection, full bars, attractive lobbies and mezzanine Houdini Lounge, this beautiful and charming venue creates an intimate and special space, whether you are looking to entertain two or 350 socially-distanced guests.

Our Paramount Events Team offers turn-key solutions, working with you to capture your vision and secure every detail of your event from the initial planning stages through a post-event wrap up. We provide endless possibilities to provide entertainment, catering, and impeccable decor for every affair.
