Wedding 2025

We had our wedding here over the weekend, from the moment I inquired about the venue I was beyond impressed. The organization, beauty views, helpfulness of the staff and so much more. I was not stressed one moment as the coordinators had every single thing under control. They go above and beyond their jobs, what is included in the package is so beyond helpful when planning your wedding. I never wanted the night to end. I cannot thank them enough for all they did

A Wonderful Experience


We had a flawless wedding experience at the Meyer Ballroom at the Paramount Theater in Aurora, IL. I grew up driving past the area with my family and never realized it was a wedding venue—neither did many of our guests! It truly felt like a hidden gem.
The Paramount team was amazing from start to finish. Special shoutout to Morgan, who gave us our first tour and made us feel confident and excited. She helped us envision how the space could transform into the perfect setting for our celebration, and she was incredibly helpful throughout the early planning stages. On the big day, our coordinators Molly and Jess were incredible—organized, calm, and on top of every detail. Their presence allowed us to fully enjoy the day without stress, knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes. They kept us on schedule and even helped my maids of honor surprise me with a life-size cutout of Jacob Black from Twilight (a hilarious inside joke!).
The ballroom was elegant, spacious, and beautifully lit. Our guests loved the ambiance, and we loved how smoothly everything ran. If you’re considering the Paramount Theater for your wedding, especially the Meyer Ballroom, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The team is exceptional, the space is gorgeous, and they truly care about making your day unforgettable. They were very flexible with our budget and any changes we needed to do. Definitely a great venue.

Best Wedding Ever!

Our wedding at the Meyer Ballroom was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning—clean, elegant, and with a beautiful location right next to the Paramount Theatre and the river. Working with their team, especially Morgan, was a dream. She was incredibly friendly and made our night feel so special. She worked seamlessly with all our vendors, including our caterer, Reulands. We especially loved the personal touches, like having our names on the Paramount's marquee and the poster-sized photos displayed. We highly recommend this venue!

Absolutely recommend!

We are so happy we went with Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom for our wedding. The staff at Meyer Ballroom is amazing!! Morgan and Molly were always attentive and answered all our questions in detail and in a timely manner prior to the wedding. Jess did a great job coordinating our rehearsal and she, Molly, and Dan, were wonderful on the day of the wedding. They were so on top of things, they made the day stress-free and run smoothly. Everything was set up perfectly by their decorating assistants, and the room flip went great. Everyone played a huge part in making our wedding the best day of our lives! There are also so many beautiful spots to take photos near the venue. The ballroom and atrium are so spacious and the view is very pretty. We can’t recommend this venue enough!

Wedding Oct 2024

Awesome venue for our wedding. Emilie Margaret, Molly, and Morgan were so incredibly helpful, organized, and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. The staff went above and beyond on the day of the wedding. Concerns and questions were always answered in a professional and timely manner. I'm so happy we booked here for our large wedding celebration. We were in great hands! Thanks Paramount for helping our special day go smoothly!

Excellent Service

My daughter had her wedding at the Paramount Theatre Grand Gallery and it was absolutely amazing. The setting was beautiful and the staff was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better event. Molly was the primary contact leading up to the big day and she was our primary contact (day of coordinator) on wedding day and she was amazing. She made sure everything went smoothly and it did. The entire staff was extremely helpful proactively addressing any of our needs. The bride was very calm and relaxed in large part because things ran so smoothly. I am so happy with the Bride & Groom’s decision to have their wedding at the Paramount Theatre Grand Gallery and would highly recommend it. Thanks to everyone for making the day even more special.

Best decision!

We could not have picked a more perfect place for us to get married! Jennifer was very responsive from the early stages of messaging on The Knot. We set up a venue tour and the rest was history. We knew the Paramount Meyer Ballroom was our choice mid tour and put a date on hold before we walked out the door! We left with such a good feeling in our hearts. They have so many great options that are included in the price (amazing bar package, beautiful venue space, 2 table cloth options, comfortable chairs, beautiful centerpieces, a view that’s hard to beat and so much more) and then many upgrades that are more than fairly priced! We worked closely with Emile-Margaret throughout the entire process (but everyone we worked with was phenomenal!) and we asked if she could be our day of coordinator for our special day (spoil alert, she said yes 🤗). Emile-Margaret was available for every question we had and was very thorough during the entire planning process. She worked around our scheduling conflicts for our 3/6/9 month consultations and kept us on track with our decisions! I loved that the Meyer Ballroom offered venue viewings for all couples that have already signed with them. This really helped with making our vision come to life and testing out different decor options without being rushed and making rash decisions. It was the most magical day and that’s all thanks to Emile-Margaret and the entire staff at the Paramount Meyer Ballroom. If you’re looking for a venue that has your best interest at heart and really cares for you as a couple then the Paramount Meyer ballroom is the place for you! Thank you Emile-Margaret and the Paramount Meyer Ballroom for everything! Truly a dream come true.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
