Amazing Experience and Value

I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have booked our wedding reception at The Grand. We worked primarily with Marissa and Lauren on this event for close to 18 months due to postponements as a result of COVID. What stands out about this venue is their professionalism. We opted to go with this venue primarily for this reason and the value for what you are getting. Throughout all the changes, they were nothing but responsive and helpful in any way they could be. My emails were always answered promptly. Despite all the stress from having to change my wedding plans, I never had to worry about being taken care of at The Grand. When my husband and I finally had our event this past October, everything on our agreement was delivered as promised. Zero issues whatsoever. We had great waitstaff and a super fun bartender. The venue itself was set up beautifully. Thank you so much to everyone at The Grand for creating such a beautiful day for us.

Awesome venue!

We had a wonderful ceremony and reception at The Grand and definitely would recommend!

Planning: Lauren was our main point of contact at the Grand and Marissa our second, and they were both fantastic! We had so many questions and details the entire process and Lauren or Marissa were always there to answer them, even when we got to the nitty gritty and cost breakdowns. From the initial planning to the tasting to our final details meeting, Lauren and Marissa were so great about getting us what we wanted on our wedding day.

Staff: We had a grand (... sorry) experience with the banquet staff! Erika was our banquet captain and she was so great about the little details, such as keeping some appetizers for us to snack on after cocktail hour since we were moving about the whole time. We didn't have a day of coordinator and yet she was still able to keep up with the hectic day. She also made sure we got our dinner and cake, even though I kept changing my mind about when to eat it. Thank you Erika and staff for your attentive service!

Venue: The venue itself is beautiful, especially in the Palm Terrace! We had our ceremony there in the courtyard and the reception in the Garden Room, which was great when guests got too hot on the dance floor and wanted a nice breather outside! Also got some pretty night time shots with the lights there. The top of the parking garage made for a nice little spot for pictures at sunset as well.

First impression

I have only met with them one time so far and that was when I booked the venue. They were very nice and showed me each room available and let me pick which one I wanted. My wedding is September 14, 2019 and I will be meeting with them again soon to finalize the day.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out. We had our wedding ceremony on the Palm Terrace and reception in the Garden room. Everything was decorated exactly the way I wanted it to be. Everyone at the Grand was polite and helpful. Salvador, our Banquet Captain, was amazing! He was on top of everything- he and his staff followed my timeline. My husband and I didn't get to eat any hor'deurves during cocktail hour, so during dinner time they gave us some. The food was delicious!!! We got the ahi poke and pork/shrimp for hor'deurves and chicken and tri tip for dinner. I can't say enough good things about this venue! If you are considering having an event here, do it!

I would choose them all over again for my wedding!! They were awesome!! Ann Williamson was so professional, flexible, and accommodating! This place could not make planning a wedding on a budget any easier!! The set up and clean up is all done by them! Easy parking! Exceptional service! Full bar! Cake included in package! But the best part was how delicious the food was!!! Very impressed! Highly recommended!

Our Wedding was on 10/04/14 and our guests were blown away on beautiful the reception was. The staff was extremely helpful and our coordinator Andry was everything we needed. We still have friends and family asking for their number for their future events.

The Grand delivered! Our wedding on 10/12/14 was perfect. The service was excellent, food was good (had many guests tell us they were so used to expecting boring wedding food but really loved their menu) and made our day feel so special. All the servers, managers, and staff were friendly and professional. I had no doubt they were going to be the perfect location for our wedding and they delivered without question. I will use them again for any event I need to plan or recommend to someone who does.

Ann and the rest of the staff at the Grand were great!! My husband and I had our wedding reception here, and we were really happy with the outcome.

One of the main reasons we chose the Grand over other venues is that the Chef was willing to work with us to create a completely custom menu. My husband and I wanted the food to reflect the fusion of both of our cultures. The Chef was able to create a wonderful Asian-American fusion menu that included 3 tray-passed hors d'oeuvres, a table of stationary appetizers, and a multi-course dinner: a first course of soup, a second course of (beef) filet, and a third course of fish. It was a great meal! The Chef was even kind enough to stay late on our wedding day to make sure the custom menu went off without a hitch.

We also appreciated how punctual the staff was on the day of our wedding. They followed the timeline to the "t". Our event manager checked in with my husband before each course was to go out to confirm the timing. He also checked in with us the entire night to make sure everything was to our liking. Really nice staff.

From the beginning, Ann was super great to us. She helped us build a package that addressed all of our needs. Everything we did in our reception was custom. Ann was always very professional and responsive - she usually responded to my emails same day. We were so lucky we got Ann to work with.

To top it all off, the price at the Grand was very reasonable. We were able to get chiavari chairs, unlimited beer, soda, ... the list goes on. Simply put, the value is great here at the Grand. Plus, it was a huge weight off our shoulders to have a full-service events team - we didn't have to worry about coordinating anything.

So glad we chose the Grand for our wedding reception - it was perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
