Our dream wedding

We got married in Sept 2019 at the Royal Grand Manor. Ranaji was such a pleasure to work with. He listened to all of our requests and came through with everything we originally discussed starting from day 1. Our friends and family enjoyed everything about the venue, including the amazing food! We highly recommend working with Rana to plan your most special day at this venue!

Amazing! Couldn’t be much happier and satisfied! Beautiful and spacious Venue, efficient and curteous staff, everything was just perfect.
The manager Kathy did an excellent job and went above and beyond to satisfy my family’s requirements for the wedding. She was available from the time we first visited till the night of the event. She responded to all of my texts and arranged everything I wanted. It was a Pakistani wedding so some cultural part was involved too in the wedding planning and Ellora staff made it easy for us. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We had our wedding there on 3/25/17. We can not believe how amazing it went. The staff went above and beyond, they really were like family to us the day of. Kathy never left our side, and really made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Ashley stayed in contact with us through the whole process of planning the wedding. She made the process easy for us. We were able to have our Ceremony & Reception there and would do it over and over again. The food was delicious!! Not one of our guest left on an empty stomach! Thank you so much to the Ellora Staff for making our day so special. Especially a shout out to Ashley and Kathy!!! :) We would highly recommend this venue for any event.

The Ellora is a great venue. The staff at the Ellora are very friendly, with great customer service. I had my wedding reception at the Ellora on the 9th of October, 2016. I am very happy that I chose this venue. The food was great!!!! My guests still talk about the food and how great the staff were. Ashely, Kathy, and Manoj (the best chef ever) are wonderful people. I will definitely use The Ellora again for my next event. Thank you very much for all your help during my wedding reception. I am very grateful.

Kudos to the Ellora team for a flawless execution of our plans for a successful wedding event for our son. Our guests were full of praise for the quality and quantity of the food during both the cocktail hour and the buffet. The staff at Ellora were very accommodating in allowing us to include both Indian and Western inspired choices for the menu. The catering staff was efficient and it seemed like the many food items in the buffet were always full. The updated decor creates the pleasant ambiance to help you make your event a bigger success.

Ashley, who was our wedding coordinator, was always available for questions in the time leading up to the event. She was quick to respond to any emails we sent. At the event itself, both she and Peter were always within reach and eager to assist. The bride was provided with her own bridal assistant, Kathy, who was everywhere and always asking her and even us -- the parents of the groom and the hosts, whether we needed anything. She seemed to find us in the crowd whenever she happened to come out with fresh hors d'oeuvres. We highly recommend Ellora for both, Indian and non-Indian cuisine.

After careful research and consideration we booked Royal Ambassador as our venue for our wedding in August 2015. We rented the entire hall inside. The hall is STUNNING!!! The service was so amazing, very accommodating and they made the day run so smoothly. We met several times in the months before the wedding to review our meal which was amazing portuguese food. They went over all the details including all our vendors to ensure that they had the contact information and timeline of when everyone would be arriving.
We were given space to store our decorations prior to the wedding and labelled everything so the staff would know where we wanted them in the hall. The staff were amazing and set up everything perfectly!
Upon arrival on the day of our wedding we had our own assistant who made sure we had all our needs met. They welcomed our guests with open arms and the day ran smoothly! I would highly recommend this venue, not only is it stunning inside but the grounds are gorgeous!!

We decided to have this wedding on pretty short notice (about 5 weeks) and went looking for a location that was both available and would take on a small wedding (40 guests). Our initial meeting with Rick, the GM, was very positive. He consistently put across the message that they were there to make our day special in the way we wanted it to be.

We liked that they have permanent flower arrangements and candles in the ceremony room that we were free to use. We liked the outside garden area as that was someplace we definitely wanted to take pictures in.

Because we were booking late he agreed to allow us to go below their usual 50 guest minimum. Their standard wedding menu is comprehensive with a generous cocktail hour followed by a meal with excellent entree choices.

Their smallest room (The Duchess) was perfectly sized for our gathering, so we chose that one. We hooked up with Samantha, our event planner to cover everything from soup to nuts. Of course their were a number of things that we hadn't thought of but we easily got those settled too.

The day of the event we were slightly nervous (of course) but shouldn't have been--at least about how they would handle their end of things. The room looked beautiful and both Rick and Samantha were on hand to make sure everything was on track. Our maitre de did a fabulous job of coordinating the cocktail hour, meal service, and cake cutting, and the wait staff could not have been more responsive. And the food was uniformly excellent. They were all over us (bride/groom) throughout to be sure that we had absolutely everything we needed. So nice.

Rick recently purchased this property and is the middle of upgrading every part of the facility. We sat on brand new chairs (so nice they don't need chair covers). The area outside the main entrance was just redecorated; new carpet is next.

They made our day special from start to finish. Thanks so much.

We delt with Samantha and it was just such a pleasure to do so. She is truly an ASSET to The Rosewood. Everything and every detail went very smooth. No added stress along with the usual extra details I had to deal with for my daughter's Sweet 16. Yes! I would highly recommend The Rosewood. Food was excellent. The evening went without a hitch. Beautifully done! The Matre D (who seriously looks like Wesley Snipes lol) and staff was very curteous and on top of everything! Again, such a pleasure doing business with you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
