About the Vox
This historic space first opened for business on December 20th, 1922 as a silent movie house. Back then it was simply called the Rosedale. In the 1940s, once films became "talkies" the theatre was revamped and renamed The Vox Theatre; Vox meaning "voice" in latin and it has been known as the Vox Theatre ever since. Inside were once 750 seats that would regularly sell-out to crowds eager for a theatric experience. The floor once gradually sloped to accommodate the booming orchestra pit. The building's art deco craftsmanship, seen through vibrant brick inlays offered a dramatic ambiance throughout the space.
Plush velvet curtains greet you upon entering the venue, immersing you in features of a bygone era. Once inside, the 6,500 square foot building boasts 20' high ceilings with the unique pressed tin tiles and sweeping views throughout the main event space. Your gaze will wander to the original stage valence framed by customized architectural lighting. Where theatre seating once was, the space is now completely open concept, offering uninterrupted sight-lines and allowing creative flexibility in how you arrange your event.
In 2009, major renovations to the Vox Theatre space included refinishing the original pressed tin ceiling, upgrading and polishing the main space concrete floors, a catering prep kitchen build-out, and access to a private backyard patio space. The walls were refinished with textured plaster and custom-made sound panels were installed to harness the acoustic excellence of the space. A beautifully finished wooden dance floor is now where the orchestra pit once was.
We do it all here at the Vox Theatre: Weddings, receptions, birthday parties, fashion shows, celebrations of life, concerts, comedy shows, and the list goes on... We create a custom floor-plan for each event, ensuring that your event is as unique as you are!
