Ashley L. Sent on 11/03/2024Best decision!
We could not have picked a more perfect place for us to get married! Jennifer was very responsive from the early stages of messaging on The Knot. We set up a venue tour and the rest was history. We knew the Paramount Meyer Ballroom was our choice mid tour and put a date on hold before we walked out the door! We left with such a good feeling in our hearts. They have so many great options that are included in the price (amazing bar package, beautiful venue space, 2 table cloth options, comfortable chairs, beautiful centerpieces, a view that’s hard to beat and so much more) and then many upgrades that are more than fairly priced! We worked closely with Emile-Margaret throughout the entire process (but everyone we worked with was phenomenal!) and we asked if she could be our day of coordinator for our special day (spoil alert, she said yes 🤗). Emile-Margaret was available for every question we had and was very thorough during the entire planning process. She worked around our scheduling conflicts for our 3/6/9 month consultations and kept us on track with our decisions! I loved that the Meyer Ballroom offered venue viewings for all couples that have already signed with them. This really helped with making our vision come to life and testing out different decor options without being rushed and making rash decisions. It was the most magical day and that’s all thanks to Emile-Margaret and the entire staff at the Paramount Meyer Ballroom. If you’re looking for a venue that has your best interest at heart and really cares for you as a couple then the Paramount Meyer ballroom is the place for you! Thank you Emile-Margaret and the Paramount Meyer Ballroom for everything! Truly a dream come true.Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Thank you so much Ashley and Andrew for your review! We love getting to work so closely with our couples to ensure their dream wedding becomes a reality. Best wishes to you both! -

Once in a lifetime
Me and my fiancé (now wife) booked at this venue for our wedding. From choosing our date after our initial meeting to saying “I do” in front of the beautiful river view our experience was everything we could have asked for, and then some! Things we didn’t even know we wanted, we’re made available and help was there every step of the way! From regular check ins to make sure vendors and details were being planned for to recommendations when we weren’t sure where to turn, this staff nailed every single detail. Their preferred venders were amazing and the day of staff was there for everything we needed to make sure photos, and timelines met our expectations. So many of our guests commented on how friendly and helpful all of the staff was. Not to mention the bar package blows away every other venue we looked at. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Thank you for these kind words! Our team had a wonderful time getting to work with you both along the way! Your personal touches of celestial theme and specialized playbill made the day truly your own. We wish you and Emily a lifetime of love! --Emile-Margaret & Paramount's Meyer Ballroom :) -

Sandy M. Sent on 05/27/2024Fabulous venue in every way!
We highly recommend the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom for any event! We held our wedding there in April 2024. The venue is absolutely immaculate and offers a beautiful setting for a wedding. The Fox River makes a lovely backdrop and the lights of the Paramount's marquee add a sparkly accent. But the service that the staff provided is absolutely the star of the show. At every step of the process they were responsive, friendly, helpful and accommodating to our special requests. The price is right, too - a very affordable venue with lots of complimentary add-ons, such as the centerpieces, which saved us money. And the icing on the cake is the free theater ticket for each guest which we used as the wedding favor. The complimentary valet service made it easy for our guests to attend.
Also, because there is a smoking patio outside the ballroom, we were able to offer our guests a Cigar Bar, which was a unique touch.
We chose a round head table for a smaller wedding party because we wanted to be able to talk to everyone, and it worked great!
5 stars for sure, we hope everyone considers this venue!!

Kristin M. Sent on 02/25/2024Our Wedding Dreams Come True
After attending amazing shows at the Paramount for years and being season subscribers, I was thrilled to learn they hosted weddings. The Paramount always puts on an amazing show and our wedding was no different! I was so impressed with all of the details they helped us bring together to craft the wedding of our dreams. It was a magical experience from beginning to end. They have a handful for preferred vendors you need to chose from for catering and entertainment, but honestly I found this made the vendor selection much less intimidating. The vendors are in a range of price points and our wedding coordinator at the Paramount walked us through that information. We met with the Paramount wedding coordinator periodically throughout the planning process. Those meetings helped us remain on track with the planning and reminded us of small details we may have forgotten. Planning can be stressful, but Emile-Margaret and everyone at the Paramount were so amazing. I highly recommend them.Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Hi Kristin! Thank you for these kind words! Getting to work with you and Mandy on your theatre-themed wedding was so wonderful! From the start of the day with the live quartet during the ceremony, all the way to the sparkler exit, was so beautiful! We wish you and Mandy a lifetime of love! - Emile-Margaret -

Amazing To Work With!
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❤️Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Hi Meka! I'm so glad that we got a chance to work together from day one! It was such a joy to help put together this beautiful day with you and your family. We wish you and Moyo a lifetime of happiness and love! - Emile-Margaret :) -

Maria Sent on 07/24/2023Beautiful 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.

Hi Maria! Thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing you and Scott a lifetime of love and happiness! -Sam -

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.Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:

Kayce F. Sent on 05/22/2023You 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.Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Hi Kayce! Thank you for these kind words! It was so great getting to work with you all and you put on such a beautiful wedding! I wish you and Mark a lifetime of happiness! - Emile-Margaret :) -

Robin C. Sent on 01/06/2023Book 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!Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Hi Robin! I am so glad I got to be a part of your big day. I absolutely loved working with you and wish you nothing but love and happiness. -Sam -

David Sent on 09/01/2022Beautiful 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!Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
Your photos are beautiful! We are so happy you chose us as "The Place to Say I Do". You and David are an amazing couple and we wish you nothing but happiness! -Sam -

Monique S. Sent on 11/16/2022Wonderful!
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!fParamount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:

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!Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
So glad you and Tyler finally got to celebrate your love! We were so happy to be part of your day. You wedding was absolutely beautiful. Wishing you all the love! -Bri -

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!Paramount's Meyer Ballroom's reply:
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 -
