I cannot say enough about the Stafford Opera House. It has a unique character that distinguishes it from other venues. It was the perfect fit for our conference. Our transaction was smooth and we received quick follow-up for any questions that arose. I host events across the nation and this was definitely one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. I look forward to hosting other conferences at the Opera House in the future.
