Review summary
Paramount Theater’s Meyer Ballroom is a stunning historic venue with beautiful spaces and river/marquee views ideal for photos. Couples praise the responsive, organized staff, vendor guidance, and included day‑of coordination that made planning stress‑free. Affordable all‑inclusive packages and flawless execution left guests impressed.
Beautiful Venue, Transparent Pricing, and Stress-Free Planning
There were so many things we loved about this venue. First, the space itself was absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. It provided the perfect backdrop for our special day! We also really appreciated the transparency in pricing, which allowed my now-husband and me to make informed decisions and confidently plan within our budget. The all-inclusive package was another huge plus, as it took so much stress out of the planning process. Having a curated list of preferred vendors who were already familiar with the venue and had established relationships with the team made everything feel seamless.
One of the biggest deciding factors for me was that the venue also provided day-of coordination, and I cannot emphasize enough how valuable this was! From walking us through the details during rehearsal to communicating with our vendors leading up to the wedding and ensuring smooth transitions throughout the day, the coordination team was such a tremendous help. I was especially nervous about making sure everything came together on the big day, but Jordan and Jess helped put my mind at ease and allowed me to truly be present and enjoy every moment.
Thank you so much, Jordan and Jess, for your kindness, professionalism, and dedication to making our wedding day so special! We are beyond grateful to have worked with such an incredible team and couldn’t recommend this venue enough to couples looking for a beautiful space, transparent pricing, and a team that genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life. You helped make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more!
The most beautiful venue!

Huge shoutout to our amazing coordinator Jess, who not only made me feel like a princess but listened to all of our requests, concerns, and thoughts and executed them flawlessly. She was truly such a gem to work with and I spent the day telling her she was my favorite person.
I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day and our family and friends raved about the venue, the location, and all of the thought and details Paramount was able to include for our special day.
Highly recommend. You won’t regret it and you’ll be working with some of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve ever encountered in the industry!
The perfect venue for the best day!
AMAZING!!!! Definitely book this venue!

The lighting, the ambiance, and the grandeur of the space made everything feel magical, like we were starring in our own film.
Our guests are still talking about how unique and beautiful the venue was. It created such a memorable experience, and the theater’s character added something truly special that you just can’t replicate anywhere else.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, history, and a little bit of cinematic magic, this is it. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to start our forever!
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!
