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” -

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! -

Kaycey Sent on 12/02/2019We loved The Grand Meridian!
Everything about our reception was perfect. Sue helped with everything! She had the best ideas for decorating and so many options for me to use at no extra cost. We had an old fashion fountain and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved our wedding saying it was the best one they've been to yet! If we could do it all over again, we would! And we'd choose Sue and the Grand Meridian again and again! -

Kayla Sent on 08/19/2019Great venue, greater communication!
HIGHLY recommend the Grand Meridian for your wedding. I had my wedding here in June 2019, and I am so glad we had it at Grand Meridian!
The event coordinator, Sue Lamers, was so awesome to work with. She always got back to me on my questions within a few days, but usually within a few hours. As I was planning my wedding, I found this type of communication to be rare among vendors. It made my life so much easier! Sue also didn't wait for me to reach out, she would check in with me when things came up.
My wedding was on Saturday, and there was no event Friday, so we were able to get in during the day Friday to set up and decorate. All the tables were set up for dining and in the entryway, so all we had to do was decorate.
Grand Meridian also has tons of glassware, mirrors, and other decorations that you can use for free (rather than renting), and this saved us a lot of money and was also super convenient.
I have nothing bad to say about this venue at all. Very highly recommend! -

Mother of the bride
My daughter’s wedding was a huge success at the Grand Meridian. She was professional, knowledgeable and made sure that everything went better than expected. The hall was absolutely beautiful, the food terrific and the staff and bar tenders were so attentive. My daughter remarked so often how she felt just over the moon at her wedding. Thank you to Sue and staff for an extremely memorable day! Oh yes, the Old Fashioned fountain is a must! So many compliments on everything. We would highly recommend the Grand Meridian for your wedding venue. -

Pamela Sent on 03/02/2017Sue and the whole staff were absolutely amazing! From the day we chose to go with the Grand Meridian Sue was incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure that our big day went off without a hitch. She responds extremely quickly and is so accommodating. She allowed us to use her inventory of vases free of charge which really helped save money and time. We booked for a Sunday wedding and the incentives to do an 'off' day wedding are wonderful! The day of the wedding I had realized I never changed the dinner serving time back from 6 to 5 as we had changed our timeline. I called Sue that morning and she was able to make it happen and did it with a smile and understanding and I love that about her. The servers were quick with getting the food out to the tables and helped guests get refills while they ate. The food has been a big rave about our wedding. The chef at the Grand is amazing at what he does. Guest favorites were the Beef Tips, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and the Broasted Chicken! On to the bartenders... awesome! They were quick with the amount of guests we had and served every drink with a smile. They were very kind and a pleasure to work with.
Overall, the Grand Meridian was simply amazing. That place is absolutely breathtaking for weddings or any catered event! If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. To Sue and the staff.... we love you guys. Thank you SO much for making our day go off without a hitch and making our guests comfortable. You are simply the best and we will be recommending you to everyone we know! Thank you! -

User2308827 Sent on 09/10/2015I 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. :)
