Beautiful venue! Such an easy day!

My husband and I were married in January and having our getting ready spaces, ceremony, AND reception all in one building was THE BEST (especially in the cold). The day flies by and it was great to not spend any of it traveling. The bridal party got their hair done right across the street and stayed in a cute B&B two blocks away. We even walked to historic buildings and the river for outdoor photos. Seriously, we couldn't have had a better location! Everything was so easy. Tables and chairs set up for us. Timeless building character. Great bar set up. Easy parking. Nice kitchen space for vendors. Beautiful Stateroom with ample natural light for ceremony photos. We had such a wonderful day and that is largely due to picking this venue!

Couldn't have picked a better place!

This venue was perfect for what we were looking for. Melanie was so helpful and available to us. The venue has such a modern and creative touch to it. You can tell there was a lot of care and intentionality in transforming it into what it now is. The bridal sweet was just beautiful and it was so convenient to have both an area for the ceremony and reception in the same building as this saved so much time on travel back and forth. There are plenty of creative spots in the building for photos as well as outside the of the building. The chairs that are provided are included in the venue and they are beautiful (we looked into renting these chairs and they were very expensive, so thankful they had them here)! There was so much included (which was helpful for setup) yet plenty to fill in with your own style and creative touch. We are so thankful and can't recommend The Grand LV enough!

Wedding/Reception

My husband and I got married here in 2023 and have zero regrets. Melanie was amazing to work with! She was flexible with tours and quick with responses. The space was absolutely perfect for both our wedding and reception. The stateroom was beautiful and the area downstairs was perfect for our reception. We LOVED that this was a one stop shop for all spaces. Aside from the wedding and reception space, there is also a bridal suite and groomsmen suite here as well. There is a beautiful story behind this venue too and Melanie and her husband have done an amazing job restoring this building and making the space absolutely stunning. I will recommend this event space every time!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
