Wow wow wow! We got married September 6th 2025. Over a month later I still have guests telling me how much fun they had and how GREAT all of the food was. I picked this venue for the conveniency of the hotel being directly attached, but I got so much more than just that. Starting with Olivia: she is so organized and willing to jump in and help with anything you need. She had ideas for decor, how to DIY things and she made my bar signs! She was there to calm my nerves when planning felt overwhelming. She was always just a phone call away for me. Now Chef Smoke: Chef Smoke absolutely BLEW us away at our tasting. We had a hard time choosing what food we were going with because we loved everything. We ended up choosing the Short rib, Grand chicken and for the vegetarian option the Smoked mozzarella ravioli. We had a number of dietary restrictions and allergies in our guest count and Chef Smoke worked with all of them and everything was perfect for each person! Finally, Leighton and his team: Leighton was there every time we dropped anything thing off and was willing to help us in any way he could. The way he keeps the staff organized and moving is incredible. We had 1 hour between our ceremony and our reception and he and the staff flipped the entire room and you would have never known we had an entire ceremony there just before. The bartenders were great and friendly! Overall I would choose this venue again and again for our wedding. They are an extremely hard working team and it truly shows. Thank you all for making our day such a dream and giving our guests such a great experience!! Photo Credits: Sam and Grace Photography

We held our wedding ceremony and reception here on August 23. This venue is truly worth every penny. Not only is the food some of the best we've ever had, but the guests have been saying this as well. They truly work with your vision and help bring everything to life. Olivia is a PRO and she will truly do everything she can to help your big day be perfect. The staff is so kind and tentative, and we couldn't have had a better day. The lighting is beautiful, the food is to die for, and the service is top notch. We got so many compliments on the venue aesthetics and food. The packages include set up and tear down, along with the coordinator, Olivia. They worked with us when we didn't want to pay for open bar for every guest knowing many wouldn't drink, and came up with a wristband solution to keep track of non-drinkers. We were able to add so much to our food package after getting final numbers. I do not regret a dollar spent!

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at the Grand Event Center, and we absolutely loved it! The team here, including Olivia and Leighton, are so responsive and do an amazing job planning your day with you. The food, alcohol, and desserts are excellent – I had many guests say it was the best they've had at a wedding (especially the steak – cooked perfectly for 70+ people). We had many out of town guests, and they enjoyed staying at the attached Courtyard both Friday and Saturday, and we loved the free parking behind the venue! Overall, we could not imagine a better place to host a fun, relaxing wedding!
