Jaki was amazing

We were married at Grand Affairs, and the experience was everything. Our coordinator Jaki was great. She took care of our every need. Nicole our MOC was there to make sure the wedding day was perfect. The food was delicious. Chef Louise's food was favorable, and all the guests were raving about it. The venue and the decor was great. I would refer Grand Affairs over and over again!

An Amazing wedding experience with an amazing budget and Coordinator!

Grand Affairs truly made my dream come true for my big day! My family has worked with the venue for multiple occasions, but this was my first wedding experience. I was not disappointed at all, and Ms. Jaki is the best person ever to plan your wedding. She is attentive, observant, and extremely creative! She also treats you like family and deserves her flowers. I would recommend this venue to anyone, especially if you love great food and fellowship.

A Perfect Wedding!

I had my wedding at Grand Affairs. To say it was perfect isn't enough. Ms. Jaki was so helpful the whole time from first meeting her at an open house to the morning of the wedding. Every time I needed assistance or had questions, she was there to help. The catering staff was amazing as well. The food was so delicious and everything was set out perfectly. Everyone was so kind as well. We ended up leaving cupcakes for the staff to enjoy for all their hard work. On top of how perfect everything was, it was very affordable as well. They provided decorations and were accommodating for our personal decorations. They were the most affordable venue in the area that provided the most for the price. It especially helped that they do split payment periods to make it easier. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to get married or celebrate any big event.

Grand Affairs! The only show in town!

Jaki Reeves and the entire team had every detail completely on point for me and my fiancée. We started with ideas of an off premise at home ceremony & reception. 1 hour later we found our entire event moved to on premise completely planned. We are completely over the moon pleased with all of it. Now we can focus on all the little things and have some fun doing it! Thanks to everyone who feel like family to both of us!!!!!❤️

The BEST place I could have picked for our wedding

I would like to start with Jaki. She was the best planner I could have asked for. I gave her a dream, and she turned it into a reality. She didn't treat me like another "client". She really treated me like family. We had to push our wedding back one year and although she had to pull some strings for me, she got it done! She made my reception look like something out of a movie. Now onto the venue. They appointed my husband and I a "captain" and he was THE NICEST man I have ever met. Anything I needed he was there. He talked me through how to cut the cake! He served me. He made sure We were taken care of. This venue is also a one stop shop. They did EVERYTHING for me. All we had to do was pick out a dress and suits and a cake. Not for nothing, what they provide for the price it is at you cannot beat it. We paid half of what most weddings cost. All in all, if I could go back and relive our wedding I would. It was the best day of my life, and I owe most of that to Grand Affairs and more importantly, Jaki. Thank you all again!

Amazing reception experience

Jaki Honeyman made my vision come true! The extra care and details that were put into my venue was mind blowing!!! My guests were still talking about our reception months later. The planning, the food, the decor was all taken care of for me. I felt like I had a personal wedding planner! I walked into Jaki’s office with a large to do list, and left there an hour later with a majority of it done already. I got everything that I wanted and more while saving thousands of dollars! Any big parties we plan on having in the future will definitely be held at Grand Affair. If you want to be treated like family, have an amazing menu, beautiful decor and exceptional service while saving money, then this is the place for you!

Best Experience Ever

We had a wedding reception here and from the first call with Jaki to attending an open house to the ceremony this was hands down the best experience ever. Everything was taken care of to perfection, i have no complaints other than the night ended too soon. I cant say enough about the professionalism, the delicious food, the Dj kept us on the dance floor and the drinks were on point. Would use them again for any and every occasion. Thank you Jaki, you and your team are incredible
