When your business meeting needs to make an impact, the right venue changes everything. At the Grand Marquis, we’ve been hosting corporate events for companies across the Tri-State area for over 30 years. We know the difference between a standard meeting room and a space that energizes your team and impresses your clients.
A business meeting becomes memorable when the setting supports focus, comfort, and efficiency. Flexible room layouts, natural lighting, professional catering, and coordinated AV services create an environment where attendees stay engaged and productive. Comprehensive event management ensures smooth transitions between sessions, making each meeting productive and easy to manage from start to finish.
Creating Professional Environments That Inspire Results
Your meeting success starts with having the right space for your objectives. We’re one of the few facilities in the Tri-State area capable of accommodating over 750 guests, with flexible conference room arrangements in boardroom, theatre, or classroom styles. Whether you’re running a training seminar for 50 or a company-wide meeting for 500, we configure our spaces to match your needs.
Flexible Meeting Spaces for Every Format
The Dome Room transforms into an impressive setting for presentations up to 250 attendees. The dome ceiling creates natural acoustics, while the floor-to-ceiling windows provide daylight that keeps participants alert. Your team can step onto the adjoining outdoor private patio during breaks, giving them space to network or simply refresh before the next session.
For larger corporate gatherings, the Marquis Ballroom handles up to 800 guests with room for both presentation areas and breakout discussions. The spacious layout allows you to transition from keynote speeches to networking receptions without changing venues. The marble columns and crystal chandeliers that can change colors create an atmosphere that elevates your corporate message.
Full Service That Keeps You Focused on Business
We manage every detail so you can concentrate on your agenda. Our complete catering service includes coffee and refreshment stations to keep energy high, lunch service that fits your timeline, and if your meeting extends into the evening, a full cocktail hour with butler-passed hors d’oeuvres. Our premium open bar and dinner service, featuring a first course and four entrée choices served tableside, turns your business meeting into a memorable experience that strengthens team bonds.
Our award-winning chefs customize menus for dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring every attendee can participate fully in meal functions. From working lunches to formal dinners, we match the food service to your meeting’s tone and objectives.
Technology and Logistics Support
The Marquis Ballroom and Dome Room both feature LED lighting systems that adjust for presentations, workshops, or evening receptions. We coordinate with your AV team for smooth setups and transitions between meeting segments. Our experienced staff manages room changes, meal timing, and logistics so your program stays on schedule.
Located at 1550 Route 9 South in Old Bridge, we’re centrally positioned for attendees traveling from Northern NJ, Central NJ, and Staten Island. Our Monday through Sunday hours from 10 am to 7 pm make it convenient to tour our facilities and plan your event around your business schedule.
