The Team definitely did an amazing job throughout the whole wedding planning process! Their responses were so prompt. The venue itself was beautiful. The transitions throughout the day were seamless as well because of how the venue is.
And our Day of Coordinator, Emile-Margaret, she was literally perfect to work with. She actually showed us the venue, and sold us on it. And on the day of, SHE WAS ON POINT! We were so thankful to have her help. She also did an amazing job with connecting with all of our vendors.
Amazing Team with answering all of our questions. Just thankful to have worked with them and to have had such a perfect wedding day!
Thanks All❤️

Beautiful Venue for Couples on a Budget
We just had our wedding there this past weekend and it honestly went perfectly. Our guests complimented the views, tall windows, and outdoor balcony. I felt taken care of the day off, and it felt that way the entire planning process. I was able to visit multiple times, bring my own decor (although they offer some free), received quick responses, and got great suggestions on everything from decor to schedule. Sam is amazing and so on top of it all. The place was also very reasonable price wise.

A very joyful summer wedding day
We chose paramount after viewing a few other places across Chicago and nearby Suburbs. They won our business. The space is beautiful, the services and support offered is great and convenient especially if you’re planning yourself. We had a very memorable time and highly recommend this venue.

You gotta book now
Absolutely the best bang for your dollar without having to compromise on beauty of the venue! We looked at a lot of venues in the chicagoland area and nobody came close to what Paramount could offer. They made the whole process super easy-even for me who had no idea what I wanted.
The venue is gorgeous, the staff super communicative and accommodating. Our day of coordinator Emile-Margaret even came out with water bottles while we were taking photos at the venue before the reception. I’d highly recommend.

Book The Paramount Theatre for your wedding now! You won't regret it!
If you're looking for a sign to book here, do it! The Paramount was so wonderful through the entire process of our wedding. Affordable, flexible, all of the right things built in to make the process easy while also allowing flexibility for your day. If you are lucky enough to get Sam Haywood as your consultant consider yourself lucky, even during her own maternity leave she was always on top of it and every little question I had was answered in such a helpful way. When we were helped out during her leave by other consultants they were JUST as wonderful and helpful. Truly, all our guests were gushing about how beautiful the venue was (we were in the Meyer Ballroom). My mom who has planned two other weddings for my older sisters and been in a lot of wedding planning meetings and venue visits immediately said it was the easiest and best venue tour she'd ever had in her life right after we met. We booked like...the next day. Add a little magic of the theatre to your big day!

Beautiful Venue, Amazing Staff...Dream Come True!
We were married in May of 2022. Our ceremony took place in the beautifully remodeled Atrium, and our reception was in the next room over in the Meyer Ballroom. The venue created a picture-perfect space overlooking the Fox River in downtown Aurora, IL. Our wedding package gave us the option to use their gorgeous wooden arch for our ceremony and the option to use their beautiful lantern centerpieces for our reception and so much more! I was so thankful as it was one less thing we needed to decide on. Our package also included complimentary valet parking which was so convenient and appreciated by our guests. The Events Staff, THE DREAM TEAM, as we often referred to them as-were wonderful through the whole booking and planning process. Every single person was always willing and happy to answer any questions we had. Sam, our Event Coordinator was a godsend! She was so professional and fun, and her communication with us was perfect! We would not have had the wedding we had without her help! Our day was a dream come true! A huge THANK YOU to Sam and the Events Team for making our day so very special and for ensuring everything ran effortlessly!

Wonderful!
Our wedding was this year in March. Due to Covid we had to postpone twice. The staff at Meyer Ballroom were awesome with accommodating us during these difficult times. When our day came, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The venue handled communicating with all of our vendors and made sure that everything was in place. Everything was beautiful. I have no complaints. The venue is beautiful and all our guests loved it. Our Coordinator Breanne was very pleasant and polite and always smiling. I would recommend this beautiful venue to everyone I know. Now my family friend Arnita Perdue is an event coordinator. Please reach out to her if you are looking for an elegant place off of the water to have your special day!f

The Perfect Venue!
I could not be happier with the Meyer Ballroom. As a COVID Bride, there was that extra level of stress in planning a wedding and the Meyer Ballroom and Briana helped make this the wedding of my dreams through it all. I could never thank them enough for all of their hard work. If you are looking for an Aurora, IL wedding venue.. look no further!

Amazing venue
Meyer Ballroom is beautiful and the only place to celebrate any event! We had our reception there and it was fantastic! And the bridal suite was just amazing! The centerpieces were pretty lanterns provided by Meyer so I didn't have to waste time or money on 15-20 floral arrangements. The riverfront is a gorgeous area for pictures and the new atrium is just fantastic! But the best part of Meyer is the staff! We had to reschedule due to Covid and every step of the way Breanne and Brianna were there to help make the transition as smooth as possible. No extra stress or worrying!

A calming experience in an unpredictable world!
We loved working with the Paramount Theatre and the entire events team! A very special shout out to Briana Jackson-Webber and Breanne Dunfee, they were so kind and understanding during the pandemic and we were able to reschedule our reception (multiple times) to a later date with ease! They both worked hard to turn a stressful situation into a gorgeous evening! The venue is beautiful, clean, and such a unique place to celebrate our love (FINALLY)!!

A Dream to Work With
Choosing to get married at the Meyer Ballroom was a no-brainer! The Atrium is the perfect location for a ceremony, and with the edison-bulbs and dangling lights, it made for beautiful pictures. The Meyer Ballroom overlooks the river and the Paramount Theatre, which makes for a stunning back drop during the reception. I also love that they let you choose from a list of caterers; we went with stations from Reuland and still get compliments on the food. The staff at the Meyer Ballroom is 10/10. They all made the process so smooth, from the months leading up through the day of, each person I worked with was a joy. I can't recommend them enough!

We were honored to be part of your and Trent’s beautiful wedding… that you waited 783 days for! Loved your elegant yet simple greenery and the personal touches like your ceremony backdrop. Wishing you both many years of happiness! ~ Jennifer and the Paramount Events Team

A magical experience I'll never forget!
Ballroom was the first and only place we looked at for our wedding ceremony and reception. We are SO glad we did. Kelsey, Breanne and Sam were the most amazing women to work with! While Kelsey started with us she soon was promoted to a new position and Breanne took over and she didn't miss a beat. She knew all our details and what we wanted and was an excellent communicator. The setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is everything I could've ever wanted. If you are looking for a place to have both ceremony and reception then look no further. If I could do it over again I would choose Meyer Ballroom every time. It does not disappoint and the photos from the downtown Aurora area are exquisite. Highly highly recommend!!

The Meyer Ballroom is the perfect setting for a wedding. It is located next to the river in the heart of downtown Aurora and we could not have asked for a better venue. Breanne and her staff were professional and had everything under control. Without a doubt, I highly recommend the Meyer Ballroom.

Beautiful Venue and Excellent Staff for an Effortless Day
This is a beautiful venue for both ceremony and reception! Especially the atrium after the remodel, it is simply gorgeous. Not only did the venue and location work great for us, but the staff really is what got us to choose the Meyer Ballroom as our venue. From our first interaction at a wedding expo to the first and second visits, throughout the whole process of getting to our big day everyone has been spectacular and quick to respond to emails, specifically Kelsey and Breanne. Breanne was our coordinator for the day (which is a huge plus since you don't get that everywhere). She is so kind and accommodating and always checking in and helping making sure everything is running smoothly. She made the day feel effortless. We truly recommend this to anyone looking for the place to say, "I do!"

Our wedding at Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom was a dream
We just got married at Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom on October 26, 2019. Everything was so perfect and exactly what I wanted. They have multiple options for where you want your ceremony to be. We chose the staircase of the atrium and it looked so beautiful. They also provide a list of preferred vendors which helps with the craziness of choosing between places! Breanne was our day of coordinator and it was extremely helpful to have her around (and deliver champagne to the bridal suite every 5 minutes)! She made sure everything went smoothly from set up to take down. Overall, Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom is nothing less than amazing. We had so many compliments all night about the beautiful venue and friendly staff. I highly recommend having your wedding here!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to get married
From the first email through the wedding day Paramount provided the best customer service I've ever experienced. We worked with Kelsey and she was amazing. No matter what problem I had, late rsvp changes or forgetting to plan a vendor dinner table, she had a solution. She was there for us again on the big day making sure everything went smoothly and helping us with set it. She helped make it so I could actually relax and enjoy my day. The beautiful, recently renovated, atrium was the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and the view of the fox river from the ballroom was breathtaking. To top it all off they have a large bridal suite equipped with it's own private bathroom so I didn't have to worry about someone seeing me before it was time. I couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. When you book with Paramount, you're not just booking you're venue, they are so much more!

Perfect Venue
From our first visit to our wedding day the event coordinator staff (especially Kelsey) were phenomenal. They did everything they could to help us in every step throughout the planning process and make our day special. Kelsey’s professionalism, ability to work with us to stay in our budget, easy and prompt communication, and vendor and picture location recommendations were just a few reasons why the Meyer Ballroom was perfect for us. The valet and ticket vouchers were perfect added touches to make our planning easier. Our wedding day was perfect and we owe most of that to Kelsey and the Meyer Ballroom.

A beautiful venue with incredible staff!
Working with the Paramount for our ceremony and reception was incredible. They helped us keep track of everything and made planning a breeze. They provide a coordinator to assist in the planning process- Kelsey was amazing! She helped answer every question we had, sent friendly reminders, and was there the entire day to help with each and every detail- pinning corsages, making sure our guests were comfortable, keeping us hydrated, everything. She always asked us our thoughts and preferences on how we pictured our wedding, and went above and beyond in all ways possible. We can't thank her enough!
The venue itself is beautifully maintained and has been recently renovated, has an awesome and fresh "bridal" suite with private bathroom, along with a separate room for the other bride/groom, and plenty of space for guests to move around, both in and outdoors. The river walk creates a great atmosphere, and the windows let in so much natural light. Tons of photo ops to boot!
We could not recommend this venue more! Thank you to everyone at Paramount for making our day simply perfect!

Couldn't be more pleased. Great value, over-the-top service.
In the midst of a season full of stress, working with the Paramount Theater/Meyer Ballroom team was bliss, and I truly mean that. I'm so grateful that we chose our venue first, because the Meyer Ballroom team was such a help with the rest of our wedding planning, and they handled so many of the details for us. From the very first venue visit to the follow-up emails after our event, I knew I could trust this venue with my wedding vision, my guests, and my budget. Kind, honest, thorough, and prompt communication from all staff members. Expert help from professional event coordinators. Wonderfully thoughtful extra touches (ask about the favors they provide for each of your wedding guests!). And absolutely gorgeous surroundings. We had an absolute blast at our Meyer Ballroom wedding.
