Over the years, we’ve seen thousands of families walk through our doors, each one bringing its own story, laughter, and reason to celebrate. At the Grand Marquis, transformation isn’t just about turning a ballroom into a beautiful setting. It’s about helping you turn a single celebration into a family legacy.
From One Celebration to the Next
We’ve watched families grow with us. A daughter’s Sweet 16 in the Dome Ballroom becomes her wedding years later. Parents who celebrated their anniversary here return for their children’s milestones. When you walk into our space, you’re not just hosting an event, you’re adding your story to ours.
Our team treats every gathering like it’s the first and most important. We listen, we plan, and we make sure your guests feel like part of something special. That’s how celebrations here naturally turn into traditions that last for generations.
Spaces That Feel Alive With Family
Every celebration starts with the right setting, and our ballrooms are built to set the tone. The Dome Ballroom, with its Roman Corinthian marble columns, circular marble dance floor, and soaring dome ceiling, brings everyone together under one breathtaking view. The Marquis Ballroom welcomes up to 800 guests with a glowing chandelier display that shifts with the music and energy of the night.
These ballrooms transform from an elegant dinner setup to a dance floor filled with generations sharing the same song. The space changes with you, from quiet to joyful, from formal to free, because that’s what family celebrations should feel like.
How We Bring Your Vision to Life
Planning a family milestone can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we step in. Our event planners spend time getting to know what matters to you, the toasts, the traditions, the small moments that define your family. Then we handle the details, from timing to service, so you can focus on being present with the people who mean the most.
We’ve been doing this for decades, and that experience shows in how smoothly every event runs. We’re there before the first guest arrives and long after the last dance, making sure every detail feels effortless.
Food That Feels Like Part of the Celebration
Good food has a way of bringing everyone to the same table. Our award winning chefs prepare each menu on site, whether it’s a multi course dinner or a more relaxed family style meal. Everything is made to fit your celebration, flavorful, elegant, and made to be shared. Guests always remember how our food looks, tastes, and makes them feel.
What Transformation Really Means to Us
When we say we transform family celebrations, we don’t just mean decor and lighting. We mean the way a room fills with emotion, how laughter echoes under the dome ceiling, and how one night becomes part of your family’s story. Seeing guests return years later reminds us that these celebrations matter far beyond the day itself, and we’re honored to be part of that.
Conclusion
Every family event we host reminds us why we do what we do. It’s the laughter that fills the ballroom, the stories shared over dinner, and the quiet moments that mean the most. At the Grand Marquis, we’re here to make those moments effortless and unforgettable for your family.
