If you're looking for a nearby "destination wedding" consider the town of Winchester. With it's vibrant downtown historic district, fine dining options and nearby guest accommodations, Winchester offers a wonderful backdrop for your wedding weekend.

One of the newest venues on the Winchester wedding scene is Bright Box Theater, a performing arts center located at 15 N. Loudoun Street, just across from the courthouse. The building once housed a department store and office space. After considerable renovation by owner Marilyn Finnemore, the theater offers a wide variety of entertainment. And it's available for your wedding!

Bright Box offers two spaces for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and after-party events. The Brilliant Room can accommodate up to 30 guests - perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony. And the Radiant Room, located on the upper level, can accommodate up to 150 for a reception. Bright Box can customize your wedding menu through their list of preferred caterers and has an ABC license for beer & wine.
