Stambaugh Auditorium — Attraction in Youngstown

We held our wedding ceremony at Christman Hall in Stambaugh Auditorium. From the first time we visited, we knew this was the place for our wedding ceremony. Our contact person changed a few times, but it all worked out in the end and no details were lost. Dani was the final person we worked with and she was wonderful. During the rehearsal and the ceremony, we had the help of both Dani and Julia. They were quick to offer suggestions and guidance and relieved so much of the stress. Dani served as the total event coordinator throughout the day of the wedding - she even hid the groom so he wouldn't see me before the ceremony!

All in all, the experience was great and I highly recommend booking Stambaugh Auditorium for a...

This venue is a fine old building from Youngstown's heyday! The numerous steps of the front entrance are in need of repair or replacement for asthetic purposes. The huge, multistoried front pillars are impressive. Inside, a lovely staircase leads to the upper level where the seats for the main stage auditorium are. Further steps lead up to the balcony which U-shapes around both sides and back. There is also an elevator. The seating is cramped for most modern-sized people today, reminding me of airline seating. The seats themselves had comfortable cushioning, and weren't lumpy nor worn out. The accousics are adequate in that most musical numbers were pleasant to listen to. Some spoken words were hard to understand. Parking is free with two large lots....
