We chose to have all of our guests stay at the The Grand Hotel. We were overwhelmed with the old-world style of the individual rooms, the level of service received, and the constant patience and assistance of the staff when dealing with 40 traveling wedding guests. The location is superb for a localized wedding and will a touch of class to any occasion.

I would highly recommend the Grand Ballroom! The combination of Rick's Chophouse, the Grand Ballroom, and the Grand Hotel is perfection. The hotel is gorgeous and all my guests were impressed, comfortable, and well taken care of. The hotel manager Jose was in constant contact with me during the planning process. Our hotel arrangements were quite complicated and Jose and Becky changed things with enthusiasm many, many, many times.
The Grand Ballroom is gorgeous with sparkling chandeliers, a beautiful tin ceiling, and lovely bar. We had about 150 people and it suited the room perfectly. We had a sit down dinner and the service was excellent. Planning the reception, the food, the drink was extremely smooth and it all came off very well. After the reception my guests loved that they could just walk down the hall to their beautiful room!
The owner, Rick, was very welcoming and a pleasure. I highly recommend.

We stayed here on our wedding night. It was wonderful. We got married and had the reception across the street, so it was the perfect location. My bridesmaids and I got ready there ahead of time so my things were already there. They upgraded our room for no extra and were so friendly. The room was incredible and absolutely perfect! I would definitely stay there again.

The Grand Hotel and Ballroom made my wedding spectacular! Most of our wedding guests had to travel to DFW for the wedding, so we reserved all of the rooms at the Grand Hotel (only 14 rooms were available at the time). Jose, the manager from the hotel was great to work with, especially since we had so many family members who were hot and cold about coming, and we changed reservations what felt like hundreds of times. Jose was patient, professional, flexible, and a wonderful hotelier. Because we had so many guests coming, we also had reservations at a local chain hotel. The experience working with the two different hotels was like night and day. The Grand Hotel was a little pricier, but the rooms were beautiful, and the service was spectacular. It was worth every cent, and it was so convenient for the bridal party and family to walk down the hallway to the wedding!
Christy is also a gem from the Grand Ballroom staff. We had an afternoon wedding ceremony in the ballroom, a cocktail hour in Rick's 110 (downstairs), and a seated lunch reception back in the ballroom. The staff was on top of all of the details, and made sure the transition from ceremony to reception room went smoothly. Our guests were delighted at the professionalism of the staff, I was thrilled that they took care of all the details and I got to enjoy my wedding day. Christy did a great job of making sure they were able to met our needs prior to the wedding so that things went smoothly on the big day. I know that had at least one wedding following ours, and according to some of our guests, the Grand Ballroom may have had two weddings following ours. Regardless, they treated us like a king and queen, and never rushed our party or made us feel like we were just another number. You would have never guessed that the moment our party left the Grand Ballroom, they had to rush to clean the room and prepare for another wedding.
The Grand Ballroom was a great value! Of the many locations we considered for the wedding, the Grand Ballroom was at the pricier end. However, they served exceptional food for the price. Our lunch was delicious, and impressive.

Our decision to have our wedding reception at the Grand Hotel Ballroom with Rick's Chophouse providing the food was an excellent one! Not only is it a beautiful, historical location - but the cost to use the room includes many extra features that allowed my husband and I, our families and guests to completely relax and enjoy a gorgeous evening. I am really impressed with the service and attention to details.

WOW, is all I can say about Christy Logan and her staff at the Grand Hotel and Ballroom. Anything I asked of her she came through with flying colors. The service both before and during the wedding was exceptional and the food was excellent as well. There was plenty of wait-staff to take care of our guests during the wedding and the hotel staff was equally as wonderful! Kudos to Jose at the hotel desk for putting out whatever fires came up with efficiency and a smile. We have been raving to anyone who will listen about the wonderful experience we had planning and executing the reception with the help of Christy and her staff and we highly recommend this venue. It's nice to know you can find a local location to have a first class wedding without breaking the bank. Thanks again for a once in a lifetime, beautiful experience my daughter and son-in-law will be talking about for years to come.

Ran out of food even though our number count was 18 less then the number provided.
Only had one type of beer left to serve with an hour remaining in the reception.
Room was very hot.
Service staff was exceptional and worked very hard. The room was beautiful, but set-up was an hour behind schedule.
