Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Springfield Metropolis, Springfield

The Springfield Metropolis on West High Street in Springfield was built as a church, and a wedding here still carries that feeling. The main hall has soaring ceilings and a restored stage, so your wedding photos and your videographer's wide frames have height and drama that a modern banquet room can't match. The stage can hold your wedding ceremony, giving guests a clear view and your videographer a natural focal point.

What you can do here: get married on the stage and hold your wedding reception in the same hall, with the built-in bar, the sound system, tables, chairs and linen all included in the rental. Other amenities can be arranged for your wedding day. The building also houses five local businesses alongside the event space.

Because the ceremony and party share one room, plan the turnaround with the staff, and use the time for pictures while guests enjoy the bar. For a wedding video, the stage is also the spot for the toasts and a band, and the house sound system can help with clean audio. The venue's capacity, catering arrangements and getting-ready space aren't published, so ask about each when you tour.

• Schedule a tour by appointment.
• Ask about capacity, catering and a room for getting ready.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where the wedding party can take pictures inside the building.

A little about The Springfield Metropolis

Built as Central Methodist Episcopal Church, the building had its cornerstone laid in 1913 and was dedicated in 1914. It served as a church for more than a century and, after a few years as a community center and then standing empty, was bought and reopened as The Springfield Metropolis in 2023.
