When planning a wedding for hundreds of guests, finding a space that balances grandeur with intimacy can be challenging. We’ve spent over 30 years perfecting the art of large-scale celebrations, and our Grand Marquis Ballroom represents everything we’ve learned about creating unforgettable moments for couples and their families.
The Marquis Ballroom is perfect for hosting large-scale, elegant weddings because of its spacious design and sophisticated features. With room for up to 800 guests, a central marble dance floor, and stunning Grand European architecture, it offers both grandeur and intimacy. Customizable lighting and award-winning culinary service ensure that every detail is tailored to create a personal and unforgettable celebration.
The Space That Transforms Your Vision Into Reality
The Marquis Ballroom’s Grand European style does more than provide a backdrop for your celebration. It creates an atmosphere where your wedding feels like the elegant, sophisticated event you’ve always imagined. Here’s how the architectural details and layout work together to achieve that.
Room to Celebrate Without Compromise
The Marquis Ballroom accommodates a maximum of 800 guests, which means you won’t have to make difficult decisions about your guest list. We’ve designed this space specifically for couples who want to include everyone who matters to them. The room provides plentiful seating during cocktail hour, so your guests can mingle comfortably before dinner service begins.
What sets our ballroom apart is the spacious marble dance floor. You’ll have room for your first dance, parent dances, and all the celebration that follows. The marble oval dance floor sits in the center of the room, creating a natural focal point that draws everyone together for those special moments.
Grand European Architecture That Speaks for Itself
Walking into the Grand Marquis Ballroom feels like stepping into European elegance. The towering Roman Corinthian marble columns line the perimeter of the room, creating architectural drama that photographs beautifully and provides a sophisticated backdrop for your ceremony and reception.
Our crystal chandeliers cast warm light throughout the space, while our color-changing columns let us customize the ambiance to match your wedding colors and theme. This flexibility means your large celebration can feel personal and tailored to your style.
The Flow That Keeps Large Groups Moving
With 800 guests, logistics matter. Our Grand Marquis Ballroom’s layout naturally guides guest flow from cocktail hour seating areas to the marble dance floor and dining spaces. The Grand European style creates distinct zones within the large space, so different parts of your celebration can happen simultaneously without feeling chaotic.
The room’s design ensures that, even with hundreds of guests, everyone has a clear sightline to the important moments. Whether you’re saying your vows or cutting the cake, your guests won’t struggle to see or feel disconnected from the celebration.
