We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions about celebrating at The Orpheum. Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’re always happy to help—just give us a call or send us an email.
The Orpheum is one of Buena Vista, Colorado's most historic landmarks, originally built in the early 1900s as a Model T dealership and theater. We've carefully restored this iconic building to blend its century-old character with modern amenities, creating Colorado's most distinctive event venue. Our multiple intimate spaces within a grand setting offer something no other venue can—authentic mountain elegance with genuine historic charm.
Our Grand Hall can accommodate up to 400 guests, but we specialize in creating intimate experiences within our grand setting. We have multiple unique spaces including the exclusive Moon Lounge, preparation suites, and both indoor and outdoor options that can be configured for events of various sizes.
We're located at 413 E Main St in the heart of downtown Buena Vista, Colorado. Our central location puts you steps away from local shops, restaurants, and the authentic charm of this mountain community.
