Excellent venue

When looking at venues to book Carmela was there to direct us and guide us by sitting down and going through options in the wedding breakdown. Her warm and friendly personality really allowed communication to be easy and she was quick with email responses and phone calls. I would refer family and friends here in the future because they made it easy for someone who was a bit clueless with wedding planning. Carmela made sure to go through all the wedding details and made it a joyful experience. I look forward to booking again in the future with them!

Amazing Venue

Chris Cenci and his staff at a Grand Plaza made my wedding an amazing and stress free experience. They brought my visions to reality and even better. Chris was extremely accommodating to anything we needed. From the very first day we met, all the way until after the wedding, Chris was attentive to our needs, wishes and concerns. The food from cocktail hour and dinner was great. The venue space was decorated beautifully and the staff was so accommodating to guests. I would recommend the Grand Plaza to anyone looking to host a wedding or party. I couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff at Grand Plaza go out of their way to make sure your day is special.

Amazing Wedding

My son and daughter in law celebrated their wedding on 9/24/23. What an amazing night we all had. Chris and his team were great and so accommodating. Anything we wanted or needed was taken care of immediately. Thankfully, Chris was able to let us in the evening before to decorate the room how we wanted it. We had use of the bridal suite for everyone to get ready which was so great because we didn't have to worry about going from place to place for hair and makeup etc. The makeup artist and hair stylist were there setting up when we arrived at 10AM. The ceremony was there as well. The staff set up the area for the ceremony and it was perfect. After the ceremony was the cocktail hour and then to the main event. Walking into the main room, seeing all of the hard work and planning that went into this come together was just breathtaking. Everything from the lighting, to the servers, to the food was just spectacular. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

Amazing time

I have my most wonderful time here with my family and friends. I wed here and when I first came here, Chris and Allison are the most welcoming people I have ever met. They kindly explain everything and make sure that everything is perfect for my big day. Kristina is the best for staying close and keeping us fed and staying hydrated. Omg, best place for me to be a princess

The best part of my wedding

This venue is THE venue you need to see when booking your wedding. The pricing is more than fair for a venue of their stature and included a LOT. 3 tier cake, 3 course meal plus passed hour derves, and open bar are just a few things included in our package, and there are multiple tiers depending on your vision (and budget) for your most special day! Our contact person Chris Cenci was incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions prior to booking, and made us feel comfortable and at home in the venue. Then on the day of (as things tend to do) there were so many last minute changes with decisions being made on the fly and Chris handled everything quickly and with the utmost professionalism. The wait staff was attentive to our and our guests needs, and the food was beyond phenomenal and was a hit with our guests, and the cake was gorgeous. I really can not speak too highly of this venue, and I plan to do every big event going forward at the elegant Grand Plaza! As soon as I get some photos back from my photographer, I'll add those in too!

This place is nothing short of Amazing! The Grand Plaza and its staff are truly everything you would ask for in a venue. To the start of my Wedding planning and booking the Grand Plaza, Chris Cenci was wonderful. I didn't have the deposit needed to secure the date and Chris penciled me in with my word. He saved the date for me, no other place would ever do that, especially in wedding season. But I assured him my heart was set on the Grand Plaza and he worked with me. I felt like family from the start. I had so many ideas and emailed and called and visited Chris with everything and he paid close attention and made sure everything was brought to life! When I reached the Grand Plaza on my wedding day, i was in Awe. Tara my assistant and bartender waited on me all night. My guest were raving about her courteous ways, always asking them if they were ok and she kept the drinks flowing. The servers were kind and patient and the food was delicious! Worth every penny I spent. They cater one wedding at a time, so you get the whole venue to yourself. My guest kept guessing which room was next from the ceremony in one room to cocktail hr in another room and the Reception in the Grand Ballroom. I am so happy with choosing the Grand Plaza!
