    Better than ever expected

    The Grand Meridian had always been my dream wedding venue, and they went above and beyond my expectations. The venue manager Sue made the entire process seamless and professional. She worked with us to plan our event from 1000 miles away. The mural inside the building, and the archways in the foyer made it seem like we were in a Spanish villa rather than in Appleton WI. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. Head chef was the most personable of them all, going out of his way to come see us at the head table once the meal was served. He also was exceptionally accommodating to all of the allergies and dietary restrictions of all the guests and bridal party. My wife says I also have to mention the food specifically, she has some obscure food allergies and says it was “the best food I’ve ever tasted, and Chef needs a bonus and some ego boosting”

    The Grand Meridian's reply:

    Brianna, Thanks for the glowing review. I did need to chuckle about Chef. If you know anything about the food industry, those Chef egos are already boosted all on their own..lol. I will pass your kind words along to the entire staff! We were honored to be a part of your day. Happy life to you both! Sue

    I would recommend The Grand Meridian to anyone and everyone!! They are very flexible and helpful when it comes to wedding planning. My sister went there to plan her wedding and Sue was very helpful with everything and she is very honest when it comes to decorating and ideas...others ideas are always helpful. The food on top of that was out of this world amazing. Chef Joe Worden is by far the best there is. Very helpful when it comes to food and how to put things together. The tasting went amazing and he is very open to ideas, which is always a plus. :) like I said I would recommend The Grand Meridian to everyone.i hope your wedding will be there. :)

    Fantastic!

    Sue made this experience as easy as it could have been. She was professional and prompt in every decision, the food was amazing and the service was better than you could imagine. All of our guests had nothing but compliments for the food - the chef was amazing and they even provided a food tasting for us to sample everything and see the service first hand.
    The experience at the head table was phenomenal. Sue came up, personally wished us well and a long and happy life, and then her servers served us, we didn't even have to get up and go through the buffet. The servers came around and asked if we needed anything else throughout the dinner, took our plates and food dishes away, and constantly asked how everything was.

    Sue was always available, always flexible and ALWAYS in a good mood. If you book your wedding with the Grand Meridian, you're pretty much booking yourself a wedding planner to go with your day, because Sue made it that easy, and was always available to help. I could go on about her forever, she was great!

    The Grand Meridian's reply:

    What a beautiful winter wedding you two pulled off. I couldn't be happier to have you so pleased with the entire experience. Thank you for the wonderful review!
