From the first walk through our marble entryway to the last song of the night, we make sure every detail feels personal, elegant, and completely taken care of.
Celebrate in Signature Style at the Grand Marquis
Our two ballrooms offer distinctive atmospheres for birthdays of every size. Each one combines architectural beauty with flexible layouts that make entertaining easy.
The Dome Ballroom offers seating for up to 250 guests beneath a dome ceiling supported by Roman Corinthian marble columns. The circular marble dance floor naturally draws everyone to the center of the room, while floor to ceiling windows open to a private outdoor patio, perfect for a short break or photo moment.
For larger celebrations, The Marquis Ballroom accommodates up to 800 guests. It features marble floors, a grand oval dance floor, and color changing crystal chandeliers that shift with the rhythm of your evening. The Grand European inspired architecture gives the space a timeless feel, ideal for a formal dinner or an energetic party.
