Everyone was great to work with from the early planning stages, all the way through the end of the reception. Everything was exactly as we hoped it would be, and we got so many compliments from our guests about this venue. Top Notch! If you plan to get married in North DFW, you should definitely look at this place before making your final decision. We also liked that everything could be done in one location instead of having to move guests from one location to another.

All of the guests had a great time during the wedding & the groom & I received SO many compliments after our wedding!! When you have put so much time & effort into planning a wedding, it is wonderful to see everyone having a good time on the big day and to hear the rave reviews afterwards!

Thanks to the staff's guidance and hard work, the ceremony was beautiful & went smoothly, even though we did not have a rehearsal. The ballroom looked Great and had a completely different feel for the ceremony and the reception. Rick's 110 provides a great backdrop so many of our guests took great photos while eating hors douvres and having drinks during the cocktail hour. Placecards, favors, centerpieces, etc. were all in the proper place at the right time. Coworkers, family and friends have all commented on how Delicious the food was (salmon & chicken plated dinner) and said it was a beautiful wedding.

Shawna is an amazingly organized and focused person and ensures that each detail is exactly the way you want it. She made sure that everything was perfect & that everyone was happy prior to and during the wedding. I am so grateful for her hard work.

Everyone at the Grand/Rick's did their job well and did it with enthusiasm. They created an event that was special and personalized to my preferences.

We had our Rehearsal Dinner at Rick's Chop house in the Grand hotel and then stayed at the hotel on our wedding night. Everything was amazing and the food was out of this world!

Beautiful place to get married! We did both the ceremony and reception in the ballroom and the cocktail hour downstairs in Rick's 110. I could not imagine a more beautiful place to get married against the exposed brick and windows that overlooked the historic McKinney downtown square. The crystal chandeliers were amazing after the sun set and had an enchanted mood in the air for the reception. We really did have a great time! We rented the Owner's suit for the boys to get ready in and the Grand Suit for the girls and both rooms were HUGE with plenty of space for everyone:) The hotel even came in during the wedding to clean the room so that when my husband and I came back together that night, it was picked up for us. Shawna did an amazing job the night of making sure that everyone was happy and taken care of. She even sent us food after the wedding when we got back to our room:) I would definitely recommend this venue to other brides for the atmosphere, amazing food, and the way that the hotel and staff took care of us on our special day!!

I can't say enough good things about the Grand Hotel! We had both our ceremony and reception there on the night of April 2nd, 2011. All the details leading up to the day were easy to get done, Shawna and Melanie were flexible, understanding and very professional.

The day-of was an absolute dream. I was of course a little nervous about everything coming together, but I had nothing to worry about. Shawna was there as my coordinator day-of and she was awesome!! Every detail was taken care of without me even having to think about it. After the ceremony we had cocktail hour. Since my husband and I missed most of it due to pictures, Shawna had a tray of hors d'œuvres and our favorite drinks waiting for us when we got back. That is only one example, but there were many examples and all of those details made the night wonderful. The food was beyond wonderful (chicken and beef tenderloin, family style- which I totally recommend!); everyone complimented it right and left. We had done a tasting beforehand and were blown away by the food. I wasn't sure how it would translate in a larger setting (85 people), but I had nothing to worry about, it was just as great as the tasting!

I just couldn't have been happier with having our wedding at the Grand Hotel. Beautiful venue, professional, super-nice staff that were all over the details, great food and drinks and great rooms for your guests to stay in. I really couldn't have asked for anything more! THANK YOU!

The Grand Hotel was a DREAM come true for our June 5th wedding! The staff at the hotel was beyond amazing - they catered to all our needs, kept in constant communication with us, and made sure that we were on schedule for all tastings, plannings, etc. I am from McKinney, so it was great to be able to share that small town feel with all of our friends and family - and the venue fit our vintagey theme, which created a perfect ambiance for the reception. Jose at the front desk is your go-to man, and we were EXTREMELY thankful for everything he did to book our guests together, keep us updated with room counts, and add to our enthusiasm as our big day approached. This is a PERFECT venue if you have lots of out of towners - especially college friends who can experience the bar and restaurant scene downtown McKinney! Not to mention, the ballroom and food were beyond expecations - definitely an interesting menu to chose from that kept guests entertained! We will continue to recommend the Grand Hotel to everyone looking for an accommodating and friendly reception spot.

I had a dinner in the 110 room in Rick's Chop House downstairs and then right after had my reception in the ballroom and it was FANTASTIC. I had a lot of decoration for each table and the Grand was very willing to let my mother and I come the day before and set everything up. I also requested to have a "dry" reception and the staff was willing and did a great job of respectfully informing the guests if they tried to bring drinks into the ballroom. The room was perfect for the vintage yet party feel that i wanted, with the old brick wall but large dance floor. I would highlt recommend this place for a reception in McKinney!

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.

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.
