We had THE BEST experience
This was the first place we looked at and we absolutely fell in love. The venue is breathtaking and full of so much character. It was by far the most unique place around and full of great places for photos, etc. That stage and set up was perfect for live music, which was the one thing we knew we wanted. Russell and all of the staff answered any questions we had along the way and made all of the planning so easy. They did a great job of bringing our vision to life. I would 10000% recommend getting married in that stage.

Wonderful venue; fantastic staff!
The Granada was the perfect venue for my daughter’s wedding! It is beautiful and has a classic and timeless feel. The entire staff was wonderful to work with, especially Lacie Johnson, who handled every detail with efficiency and professionalism. The bartenders were fantastic as well!

A Beautiful Wedding
We loved having our wedding at the Granada! We were able to decorate the day before and chairs, tables, and linens were all offered to us. We had a tricky set up request. We wanted to set up the tables and chairs in between the wedding and reception and we wanted to be done quickly so guests could get to a table. The staff pulled off the whole transition in minutes. seemingly without flaw. Cleanup was easy and the staff was super gracious and wonderful to work with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
