About Adams Avenue Theater

Located in the music-centric neighborhood of Normal Heights, the historic building that was once a movie hub, turned music venue has been restored and is heading back to its roots. From live entertainment to elevated movie nights and private events, we like to think of the theater more as a gathering spot for the neighborhood. With 6,100 square feet of open space, the theater is available for any creative ideas that come to mind! The famous marquee that still adorns the building’s façade is a nod to the historic bones – providing a sense of nostalgia when staring up at the lights…or down at the original terrazzo, the perfect historic touch for any occasion! For one night only, your love story will be showcased on the big screen at the Adams Avenue Theater in San Diego, CA. Once a thriving movie theatre, this historic building has been beautifully restored to create a unique event space with plenty of charm. So, if you wish to give your guests a sense of nostalgia by going to the pictures, this is the ideal venue to watch the real rom-com unfold. At the Adams Avenue Theater, you can say goodbye to dusty red chairs and sticky floors and hello to elegantly decorated areas with a clean, modern touch. The property features over 6,100 square feet of event space that can accommodate a variety of special occasions, including weddings, engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, and more. As you and your guests enter the building, you will be in awe of its architectural beauty and rich history. The friendly staff will greet you and show you to the get-ready suite, where your glam squad can work their magic in a quiet setting. Both ceremonies and receptions can be held in the main banquet hall for intimate to medium-sized gatherings. The hall features high ceilings, white walls, drapery, hanging light fixtures, and uplighting, giving you the perfect blank canvas for your one-of-a-kind event. In addition, there's a comfortable lounge in the foyer that can be used for cocktail hours. When planning your wedding at the Adams Avenue Theater, their dedicated on-site coordinator will ensure your special day is everything you've imagined. They will work with you to understand your needs and streamline the organization process. Outside vendors can be brought in, so you can have your favorite catering company serve your evening meal. However, the property offers drink packages with their cocktail catering business, Bar Verbena. You and your loved ones can choose from a selection of locally crafted beers and wines from their highly trained bartenders. The venue can also provide event rentals, setup, and cleanup.
