Located on the Historic Canton Square in Canton, MS, The Opera House 1853 is the newest venue for weddings, rehearsal dinners, training seminars, business dinners, Christmas parties, or any other type of event. Completely renovated inside and out, this The7400 square foot building brings together the charm and character of yesterday with state of the art technology and convenience of today. We talked to Morgan Pitts, one of the owners of The Opera House 1853 to tell us more about this great event venue.
{Tell me about your background. What drew you and your team to wanting to open a venue?}
There are 6 of us that make up the Opera House team. Our team consist of myself and my husband Daniel, Mark Ann Hobart, Andrew Brooks, and Eddie and Becky Briggs. This has been a dream of mine for many years and the dream seemed so far away…until this year! I went to my husband and told him I was ready to start a business and it had to be a wedding venue. He thought I might be a bit crazy, but he had seen the look in my eyes before and knew there would be no talking me out of it! We mentioned our plan to our good friends Mark Ann and Andrew and it didn't take them long to decide they wanted to join us on this adventure! Eddie and Becky are the restoratives of The Opera House 1853. When we came in to view the newly renovated building, our dreams for The Opera House aligned and we all decided to make this dream a reality together!
{Tell me about The Opera House. When did you open? Where are you located? How/why did you select your location?}
We are located on the Historic Canton Square in Canton, MS. If you've ever been to Canton, you know there is no other town around with its character and history! Our venue actually just opened in May of 2017. The question always comes up, "Why Canton?" I always respond "Why not Canton?!" The courthouse lawn, the architecture of the original buildings, the rich history, and character alone makes Canton one of a kind! Our venue on the Square truly completes the picture. It is the perfect stage for memories to be made celebrating the marriage of two people in love!
{What does The Opera House 1853 offer to their clients/customers?}
We always put our clients first. The Opera House 1853 team truly bends over backwards to make sure each and every event goes off without a hitch! We have many amenities that are included with bookings. We provide tables, chairs, linens, a catering kitchen, beautiful bridal suite, and the use of the Bose surround system. We also offer all-inclusive packages that include catering, floral, and bar services. We try our best to do as much for our clients as we possibly can to make sure they are happy with their event!
{Describe your style in one sentence or less.}
I'd say our style is rustic elegance.
{What sets The Opera House 1853 apart from other venues?}
We have a bridal suite also that sets us apart from other venues! Our location definitely sets us apart also. But other than that, Eddie and Becky didn't hold back on renovating The Opera House 1853. You won't find another venue with the class, character, and finesse that the Opera House 1853 holds.
