Excellent. Samantha was FANTASTIC in answering all of my questions via email and phone. She made me feel heard, valued, and like it was truly OUR day. The day off, they made sure we ate, everything went just how we wanted, and that we were genuinely happy. It’s an awesome venue. Also— the food is delicious. Couldn’t recommend more.

If you are looking at this page, you can scroll no more just choose them! Everything at Grand Marquis turned out perfectly. They went above and beyond just to make things right for you! I had to say, I was an extremely nervous bride. Through out the wedding planning process, many things I was worried, but Sydney (our event specialist) she just know how to handle everything and bride like me lol. She answered all my questions, and whatever I requested, her answer was always \"Yes/ of course/ Easy!/That shouldn't be a problem/ yeah!\". Haha she is an angel. The venue is elegant , the Dome Room is just stunning! the staff is friendly and super helpful , the manager is very professional, even the food is amazing! My guests just can't stop complimenting about the meals! The pricing they offer is very very reasonable.Many important decisions we made throughout the wedding process, Grand Marquis was my best decision! Reviewed on 03-07-2023

Grand Marquis was amazing to us from the moment we stepped inside to take a tour all the way through the very end of our wedding night. We were initially blown away during our tour when every person we had been in contact with was so accommodating and friendly. They provided champagne and snacks while discussing dates and truly catered to us from the very beginning. They were super easy to work with while planning. The day of we had Carolyn as our maitre’d and Naya for our bridal attendant. Naya was so helpful and bustled my dress and was always there to help. Carolyn was PHENOMENAL! She truly helped bring our vision to life and was by our sides the entire day/night making sure everything was perfect. It all turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

N L(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 Even though our wedding was far from perfect. What’s meant to be, will be. The venue is beautiful and the cocktail hour was Phenomenal.Vendors were only aloud 1.5 hours to set up because venue had an event prior. Guests from prior event still had access to bridal suites even thought their event was over. It was very awkward having strangers open doors when we were getting dressed looking for their belongings that had already been moved. DJ had technical difficulties and ceremony started 30min late. We didn’t get nearly as many photos as we wanted because parents were supposed to meet in bridal suite after ceremony but some how made it to cocktail hour. Scotch was to not be served to my father but a female bartender broke under pressure and served him 3 drinks even though a male bartender was denying guest any dark liquor (Miscommunication). My father got very drunk and almost did not make it to the father daughter dance.We didn’t use some of the decorations that were purchased outside out of florist because florist and venue were not responsible (Hire a decorator or wedding planner). We heard from guest that the dinner was great but the steak was not a favorite. I also lost detachable sleeves to my wedding dress (make sure your organized and have people in place to grab your belongings after the event).We rented a super car for our getaway vehicle. When my fiancé arrived at the venue the guys at the valet parking told him it was $20 for VIP parking to keep the car in the front. Not thinking anything of it, he paid. Later when a manger heard of this, he explained this was not true and returned the money to him. The venue needs better communication. One person says one thing, and the next, something different. It was disorganized and chaotic but we are told this is the norm. We booked two years ago and had three different event coordinators over that time. Things got confusing and lost between the transitions but it was overall a great wedding and beside those little hick-ups that do not matter at the end of the day, we loved everything. Thank you to Sydney who made all of our requests happen with the short time she had helping us plan our special day! Reviewed on 13-10-2022

Unique Schulters(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2022 Having our my wedding at the Grand Marquis was the best decision I could have made! Not only is the venue gorgeous but the staff is so amazing and kind! I worked with Elizabeth for a all my planning needs and she was so organized, accommodating and full of great suggestions throughout the process. I had a complete meltdown 30 seconds before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and she was there to calm down and dab my tears(without messing up my makeup night I add lol) I can’t thank her enough for everything! I can go on about her and the rest of the staff for days, but let’s get into the food!! I had a rather large bridal party and the bridal attendant was nice enough ti bring food down to the suite for us to eat before the ceremony which was amazing! I myself barely ate at cocktail hour lol but what I did have was bomb! I’m Caribbean’s and I really wanted food from my culture to be served and they freaking nailed it! From jerk and curry chicken to large oxtails everyone was in heaven!! And don’t get me started and the braised short rib, I wana come back just to order that to go for dinner lol. My wedding was a month ago and ppl are still raving about the food and dessert extravaganza. The only thing I really wish would have been different was that I could keep the bar in the cocktail hour room open during the reception because my family likes to drink and only having the one bar open made the line long so the dance floor would feel empty at times while everyone was in line. Other than that I can’t complain I literally had a ball and would love to relive it every day. Would 100% recommend this venue to anyone of my family, friends, or clients! Reviewed on 18-07-2022

Our entire processes from booking to planning and everything in between was so organized and easy. Whenever we needed to communicate with the venue or had any questions they were answered promptly. The staff is so accommodating and friendly. They literally waited on me and my husband and our families hand and foot- we wanted for nothing the entire day. They anticipated our needs and took care of them before we even had to ask. We had a lot of special and complicated requests and the staff accommodated us without question or protest- they seemed genuinely happy to help in any way they could. The venue is beautiful, and the food was incredible, but it was truly the staff that made our day so stress free and special. Weddings can be stressful- there are so many pieces that need to be taken care of the make sure the day goes as planned- the staff at the grand marquis completely eliminated that stress. My husband and I enjoyed every second of our day because they took care of everything. We are still getting calls from guests telling us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. They are also the most reasonably priced venue in the area and offered SO much food and dessert ! You definitely get a lot for your money.

Johanna Blalock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-03-2022 I am thrilled to leave this venue a review because because they were absolutely incredible to work with. They run like a well-oiled machine and it shows. We trusted them entirely and they made our night run flawlessly. A bridesmaid had made the recommendation and upon visitation, we absolutely knew this was our venue, and not only because of how beautiful it was. We had seen a handful of options prior, but our first interaction with Michelle and the owners blew us away. They’re a family owned and run venue and their hospitality was second to none. We were looking to have a smaller wedding (100-125) and they worked with us on our minimum guest count for the Dome Ballroom which is typically 150 for a Saturday night. We signed the paperwork the next day!I’ll preface with the fact that I’m a pretty detail-oriented person and enjoy planning in general BUT I do not think you need to hire a wedding coordinator if you’re not. Michelle was our assigned point person and she was so sweet, communicative, patient, informative and understanding from start to finish – I could go on and on. She answered our every question and provided suggestions along the way for details we were unsure of. We are SO lucky to have had her by our side. There’s an indoor and outdoor ceremony space, and we were SET on having it outside since the year prior it was so warm that weekend (wishful thinking, we know). Typically, they ask to make a final decision about where the ceremony will take place 48 hours prior to the wedding, but they knew how much we wanted to have it outside, and they actually let us decide at 4pm that day (ceremony was at 6 and they set up both spaces for us!). We were able to use the bridal suite starting at 9AM (for a fee) to get ready and Megan was our amazing bridal attendant - she was SO on top of it! The grounds are gorgeous and there’s so many spots to take photos indoors and out. Thanasis was our Maitre D’ and he ran the show that day. He did anything he could to make sure our experience was a positive one and we’re entirely grateful to him and the staff for their impressive communication and execution. The amount of food and variety was actually absurd – we received SO many compliments on our cocktail hour, reception dinner and desert, which was basically another cocktail hour of sweets! Mind you, we didn’t add ANYTHING to the menu besides a to-go package. Bartenders: they understood the assignment All in all, I would one thousand recommend working with The Grand Marquis. We owe them the biggest thank you for making our day so incredibly special and entirely memorable. Reviewed on 05-04-2022

Amanda K(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2021 We had the absolute worst experience with the grand marquis. Thankfully our guests didn’t notice that the venue didn’t accommodate half of the things discussed including the time line. Let alone not seeing our mAitre d all night until we finally said something. We ended up giving the tip to a server that was with us most of the evening. They opened up the ballroom to our guests before letting us take photos in the room alone. Photos we’ll never get back again and memories we were robbed of. we reviewed everything with them the day before in the meeting and they still missed so much. we agreed the outdoor section wouldn’t be opened until the Viennese hour was so that guests would remain in the main ballroom. But upon arriving the outdoor bar was open during the reception which often led the ballroom empty even though we had spent a ton of money on both a band and dj for entertainment. They sent my wedding party down the aisle in the wrong order, even though I had given them a typed out list of pairs and the specific order. They sat my immediate family on the wrong side, and my immediate family, mother father brothers and grandmother could not see me during the ceremony (again, even though it was discussed) a close friend of ours gave us special martini glasses for the wedding night to which they never returned but gave us an empty box instead. It was an overall awful experience to work with them. There’s so much more to mention but not enough time. Every other vendor really nailed our vision and what we were looking for. They helped us feel safe and well taken care of especially for the money we were paying. Our other vendors were wonderful to work with, but grand marquis fell short. Well below the expectation of mediocre. The venue itself is well taken care of and has great areas to grab pictures, but it wasn’t worth the headache and at the end of it all, we really regretted booking with them. Please be careful booking. If they seem disorganized or confused it’s because they are. Trust your instinct and make a decision you’ll feel better about. Reviewed on 15-10-2021

In the middle of a pandemic, the staff made both of my special days nothing short of perfect. From the moment my husband and I walked into the building until we left we were catered to. Kristin and Joe are both fantastic at their jobs. I highly recommend them both to take care of you on your special day, you will not be disappointed. They were able to answer any questions or concerns we had in a timely fashion. With our constant change to our guest list and having to move up our cocktail hour due to indoor dining closing at 10, they were nothing but accommodating to us.

Any question I had, any time, any day was answered promptly. I don't know how we would have done it without her or without the staff at the Grand Marquis. My husband and I and bridal party were catered to from the second we stepped into the venue on the day of the wedding until the second we left.

Rebecca Barber(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-12-2019 Having our wedding at the Grand Marquis was quite possibly the best decision we made! We knew once we walked into the building that this place was already filled with so much love that it would be perfect for our day. Our coordinator at the GM, Kristin, was more of a friend by the end of everything than anything! She was extremely patient and made sure that every single detail of our day was everything we could possibly imagine. And she did it all with a smile on her face. We had a winter wedding, and I noticed a beautiful Christmas tree that was in the other room that our reception wasn’t in. She knew how much I loved that tree so she made sure it was transported into our room for the reception. That was just the tip of the iceberg of how much Kristin and everyone at the Grand Marquis did to make our day so special. As for the reception itself, let me just say you need to warn your guests to come hungry! We have been told by every single guest how outrageous the cocktail hour and dessert extravaganza was. The food was delectable and made the night even more memorable! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were fully satisfied at every point of the night. This courtesy was extended to our guests as any issue that came about was resolved before you knew it. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us and our guests! All in all, you will regret it if you do not check out the Grand Marquis for your wedding!

J GG(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-04-2019 The Grand Finale at Grand Marquis, Old Bridge, NJ April 26, 2019.As parents we always want the very best for our children. In this case, our daughter’s wedding planning began close to two years ago. The Church, Photographer, Flowers, Videographer, honeymoon and finally the Reception Venue; in our case the Grand Marquis (GM) in Old Bridge, NJ.From the moment we met with the GM Director of Operations, Joe Consiglio; we knew that the GM would be the place that would be able to create unending memories and provide the wow factor for our guest. The one and a half year preparation process was seamless. Joe quickly introduced us to his right hand person, Cathy who was constantly in contact with us to answer any questions we would have about our event progress. The week before the wedding came and we were in daily contact with Joe and Cathy, every request we made was followed by “whatever you guys want.” The day before the wedding, we visited the GM late in the evening and Cathy was there until midnight helping us put our personal final touches on the gleaming reception hall.Finally, the Grand Finale was here; everything was meticulously perfected. The floor, the valet parking staff, the bathrooms, the bridal suite, the cocktail reception room with endless stations and flowing drinks, the romantic grand ball room with soft lighting, the Venetian Dessert room, their newly constructed marble terrace with fire pits, large screen TV, waterfalls and bar all ready to impress our guest…… Joe, Cathy and staff met 45 minutes before guest started arriving; they prepped, dotted I’s and crossed T’s. During the event, Joe was visible and attentive to our request and he commanded his staff accordingly via their electronic headsets. It was an impressive scene. At the end of the night, the staff packaged food and desserts for the newlyweds and their families. Not to mention the table with breakfast to go for our guest……..To say the least, the event flew by flawlessly!!!To the owners, Joe, Cathy and staff – thank you for the unremarkable Customer Experience you provided our family. We will always recommend and use the GM …..If you want to have any catered event in the tri-state area, the Grand Marquis Old Bridge, NJ is certainly the place.JGG Reviewed on 10-05-2019
Anthony Ursino(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-12-2018 We are so excited to write this review for Grand Marquis. We booked our wedding there almost solely because of the wonderful experience we had the first time we went to visit and the way Nertila and the staff treated us. We were cautiously optimistic and felt the place was beautiful. It turned out to blow away all of our expectations. Nertila was amazing throughout the entire planning process and just could not possibly have been any nicer to deal with or more helpful. She made us feel completely comfortable in every way and helped us throughout. We are so lucky that we got to work with her for our wedding. As a whole the rest of the staff was amazing also. From the moment we showed up for our wedding to the time we left at the end of the night, every single staff member treated all of our guests like royalty. The service was incredible! The food was unbelievably delicious and perfectly timed and cooked! The bar never had a line! The cocktail hour was insane! The room was completely stunning and perfect! Our guests have been RAVING nonstop about the wedding and about Grand Marquis. We honestly feel so proud and lucky to be able to say we had our wedding there and everyone left with a wonderful memory. No guest was left wanting and everyone was taken care of with special attention, patience, and care. We felt so welcomed and special, as if it was the only wedding they had the whole year. They helped with the setup, and treated every request with a \"CAN DO\" attitude. We made 2 special request for the evening. One was to have great bartenders and not have a line, and the other was to offer extra desserts passed to the tables. Both were delivered perfectly and the guests were ecstatic about it. Thank you so much for everything you did. We can confidently say there is no other place we could have imagined having our wedding and GM holds a special place in our hearts forever. We would be remiss if we didn't mention our Maitre D', Chris. He was unbelievably nice and serviceable and we are honestly so impressed with the way he handled the whole evening. His staff including the Captain & servers/setup staff, were right on the same page and super nice and serviceable. So amazing. Reviewed on 30-12-2018

We first met with Nicole who would walk us through our whole wedding and make sure we received everything I wanted. In that same meeting we met one of the owners demetry who brought us in a plate of food and offered us drinks. This was even before we talked of booking the venue. We were so impressed. We went on a tour of the facility and my mouth dropped. It was gorgeous from the inside to the outside. After we decided to book our venue Nicole followed up with us every month. Asking if we needed anything. What we were suppose to be doing, etc. What I loved about Nicole was we mentioned to her that I am a picky eater. I eat wings and pizza and that is really it. The night of my wedding without even knowing Nicole made sure there was wings for me. I was so happy I could have cried. Its silly but the little things will make your wedding the best. The food, staff and dessert hour were amazing. We had a lovely woman named wanda who tended to us all night. She truly made eating and getting drinks possible on a night that everyone wanted a piece of you. If I could get married again I wouldn't change anything except holding my reception for longer hours.

Nicole took care of us and was patient as we made our final decision. She was easily accessible when we had any questions and was happy to answer anything she could, and if she didn't know an answer, she did not stop until she found her answer so she could give us accurate information. Even when we had a slight hiccup right before our wedding, she solved it with poise and grace. Though she was not physically present on our wedding day, she left us in very capable hands with Kristen, Ashley, and the rest of their team who were attentive to our needs and were huge helps in getting our reception off without a hitch.

If you need a venue that has amazing food, great variety of different drinks and an amazing staff you need to book your wedding at that venue and have Nicole as your even coordinator. My husband and I went and saw 11 different venues before going to this one. My husband and I had an instant connection with Nicole. She made sure when showing us the venue she did not interrupt the events going on at that moment but still managed to show us all the rooms. She had all the answers whenever we called and if she did not have them she made sure to get it by the end of that day. She was such a pleasure to work with. I brought a lot of things to the venue and needed certain displays made and she made it happen. I am so upset that the wedding is over because I will not have to call her anymore or visit the venue.

Once I got there I was set up with Nertila and we hit it off immediately. She showed me what the room would look like after the completion was done, by picture it was beautiful, after the renovation was done, seeing it in person, it was simply breath taking. Nertila went above and beyond and always remained patient with me and always assured me everything will be great, and she was right. People fell in love with the cocktail and reception hall as well as the food. We have had (and we are still getting) so many people rave about all the food. They loved everything from cocktail to dinner to dessert. The venetian hour blew everyone away and everyone ended up leaving happy and full. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better day and I know I owe it to the Grand Marquis for helping make my day incredible.Everyone must go experience this venue, you will not be disappointed.Thank you to everyone there for all your work, you are the best of the best.

Lihn Nguyen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2017 My wedding day was everything I dreamed and more – the romantic ceremony, the elegant reception… the Grand Marquis delivered on my exact vision, and I couldn’t have made a better choice for my venue. I had read tons of reviews before booking with them, and even after booking – all of them glowingly positive and resounded over 3 things: the service, the food, and of course, how beautiful the ballrooms are. The service – Elizabeth was our coordinator, and she was so great. Responsive, patient, and caring, she really made sure that our vision would be executed exactly the way we wanted. She answered all of my questions so quickly, through email and phone, and never treated any question like it was silly or like she had heard it thousands of times before. She was so engaged with us and it really felt like she was as much a part of our big day as our family and friends. She’s the best. Our maitre’d, Chris, and our captain, Wanda, are excellent at what they do. You can tell they’ve been in the business for a long time and know exactly how to cater to the bride and groom and guests.The ballroom – We had our wedding in the Dome Room, and it was absolutely breathtaking – the dome with its elaborate details and glamorous chandelier at center, the marble dance floor, the soft, blush uplighting – it was a dream. There is an outdoor patio that’s accessible from the ballroom, which was nice for our guests to step out and get a breath of fresh air. They had an outdoor bar setup and mood lighting with the fire torches burning – it was a cool, crisp fall evening, so it was nice and cozy. The food – I knew the food would be plenty and delicious, but I didn’t realize to what magnitude; our guests were absolutely blown away by the amount and variety of food for cocktail hour, and everything was cooked to perfection. The tomahawk ribeye carving station, and the raw bar were the showstoppers. Dinner was also amazing – the short ribs are to die for. I mean, literally, to die for. Fall of the bone, melt in your mouth, perfection. I had read reviews that were raving about the food, but I didn’t fully comprehend until we tasted it – it was the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding – and it was my own wedding! That’s the best part. The bars are fully stocked with top shelf liquors, which is another high point for the guests. AND THEN THE VIENNESE DESSERT HOUR! Where do I even begin… make your own s’mores, chocolate fountain, cotton candy (spun to order!), popcorn, churros, milk shots, AND A DONUT WALL!? It was out of this world, and our guests were having emotional breakdowns over it, having already been surprised by the cocktail hour and now with a whole room of sweets! We were all just so blown away by all of it – the Grand Marquis gave me the wedding of my dreams, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I now understand why people say they hope their friends have their wedding here so that they can attend as guests! If you are looking for a venue that has it all, book with the Grand Marquis. You will not regret it. Reviewed on 01-11-2017

Our event Coordinator helped us with every detail and was very attentive. We couldnt have asked for a better Maitre D’ , Kristin. She made everyone feel like a VIP. We were so lucky to have gorgeous weather on our special day, so we asked the staff to open the retractable floor to ceiling windows in the dome room. The beautiful flowers on the outside patio just added to the decor. Our guests loved having an outside patio area with a bar to enjoy during cocktail hour.

From booking a year out to the actual day, the Grand Marquis staff made us feel special the whole way through. Our maitre D', Kristin, and bridal attendant waited on us hand and foot. We never went hungry or thirsty. Kristin was absolutely wonderful and I would definitely work with her again in the future. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING. My guests still cannot stop talking about my cocktail hour and dessert extravaganza! They even made sure my vegan/vegetarian and gluten free guests had an array of choices! The staff was so professional and kind and made us and our guests feel like royalty. We didn't even have to go off premise to take pictures!

Vianca Vazquez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2017 I can't thank Grand Marquis enough for making our day extremely special. We booked the venue for our wedding in July after viewing 8 other venues and I'm so glad we went with them. They made the entire wedding process very smooth from the tasting to dropping off items, even the day of went great! Even when we lost our wedding coordinator from Grand Marquis two weeks before our wedding, they assigned us someone new right away and that person was on top of everything. It was as if she'd been with us from the beginning. Everyone at the Grand Marquis was extremely attentive- not only to the bride and groom but our parents and guests as well. They made sure our parents enjoyed their day as well and brought drinks to the tables so people didn't have to wait at the bar. The entire experience was wonderful and everyone loved the place! We received great reviews on the food, dessert, and service. Our wedding was truly one of the best that our guests have ever attended and I would love to get the chance to revisit this venue again! Thanks for everything! Reviewed on 25-10-2017
Anubhav Gautam(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2017 I am so glad my wife and I selected the Grand Marquis to hold our wedding reception. While we selected catering from another vendor, Grand Marquis excelled in every other area under their control. The staff was fantastic, the venue was beautiful, and everything that could have gone wrong, didn't go wrong.First off, our event coordinator, Kristin, was amazing. She took over our account after our previous coordinator left the company, and we didn't miss a step. Kristin was quick to respond, offered fair advice and so helpful. It was a blessing that she took over.On the day of our event, the bridal attendant and Maitre D were by our side at all times. In fact, Cathy helped and made sure our event went smoothly, without any hitches and ensured the staff was on top of things. Our Bridal Attendant, was helpful throughout our photo sessions and throughout the night. She was so helpful to my wife.In fact, everyone was always there to help us. On a day with a full agenda, the staff stepped up, and made our special day even so much better than imaginable. Reviewed on 21-08-2017
Brandon Tramel(groom)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2017 Overall the Grand Marquis was great in terms of food & decor/interior design, but we did have some mishaps throughout our actual wedding day which are making us not give 5 or 4 stars.We booked in November with Nicole and set July 9th, 2017 as our wedding day. We pay attention to detail so the fact that we were expecting to have Nicole help us on our wedding day and she wasn't even there, was disappointing. If she told us that she wasn't going to be there the day of and that she was handing us entirely off to our Maitre’D Kristin, who we've never met or spoken to in the 9 months of planning, then I'm pretty sure I would've remembered it. The venue was beautiful, inside and outside. We received glowing reviews about the food, which we are very pleased about! Moments before our introduction into the reception Kristin tells us that there are no seats for our bridal party and that we basically had wedding crashers. We started to panic, but it turned out to be false. We believe she thought the bridal party would have their own table, when in fact they already had assigned seating next to their spouses and friends. Instead of asking, we think she assumed they would be sitting together making it seem like there was no seating for them. This put a damper on our once in a lifetime introduction. Literally seconds before we walked out, my wife was sending her the seating chart on her smartphone. The intelligent lighting was also off during the reception. The lighting we asked for was MUCH brighter than what we got and when I said this wasn't it, she replied that she didn't know how to do it, so all of our reception pictures/videos were dark. Hopefully my videographer and photographer will work their magic. There was a waitress, I forgot her name, but she was the most helpful. She even came down to our suite after the reception ended and helped us bring our clothes to the car. We also planned to have a slideshow playing during the entire reception on loop, but that didn't really get rolling until my wife asked for it to be put on and only had an hour left of the reception. Honestly I was stressed half the time, but the guests said it was all perfect so that's why we won't give lower than a 3 star review. Reviewed on 09-08-2017

I want another wedding there just to experience the day again! My wedding was in July and guests who attended are still talking about it! My only complaint would be that I trusted, recommended entertainment via Grand Marquis' site. STAY AWAY!!! You will never be able to prepare them enough to assure that your entertainment goes as well as possible. Everything that I did to prepare was to no avail. Many meetings & notes took place and were provided, but still a disaster. It's not what happens, but how you fix it. That's if you want to fix it (I guess not). Only, ego, ego, ego. Find entertainment on your own. Speak to pasts clients to verify.Thank God that what Grand Marquis displayed outshined the entertainment, otherwise we would have had a disaster of a wedding.Thank you, thank you, thank you Grand Marquis!

Kristen Qutub(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2016 A great venue but some communication issues. Our first consultations with the GM were exceptional and the general manager, Joe, was excellent and really strives for great customer service. We initially started working with Lauren but were then shifted to Megan. We were in the dome room. The room has just been redone this year and it looks amazing! It is absolutely beautiful and very classy without being overdone. The food is also delicious! All of our guests were raving about the quality of the food, the amount of food, and the amazing dessert room! Bartenders were friendly and Wanda, our captain for the night, was wonderful. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and also catered to our parents. The only thing about using the GM is that communication seemed to be an issue, so you need to stay on top of things with them and stay organized. Megan was great with communicating until the month before the wedding and then stopped promptly answering emails or calls. It was frustrating as this was the most stressful time and I wasn't receiving any communication back. She had also told us that table numbers were not provided, that we could pick up our gifts and decor the day after the wedding, and that a check would be issued to us on the day of the wedding with the balance (we had overpaid). On the day of the wedding, we had incorporated table numbers into our centerpieces. When I walked into the ballroom, there were printed table numbers in awful gold frames next to our centerpieces. They didn't match our decor at all. When I told the maitre-d, Austin, I wanted them removed, they were promptly removed. However, they still got in our photographers photos. At the end of the wedding, Austin started collecting all of our items for us. We were told leaving them until the next day was not an option. The valet was all backed-up as well due to a sweet 16. Our shuttle bus was unable to pick us up for about 15 minutes due to the disorganization of the valet. Guests began to get frustrated. After the wedding I realized we had never received the check. It took multiple phone calls to Megan and Joe before and after our honeymoon before the check was finally mailed out. It was mailed out to my parents’ house but had my name on the check, so even cashing it was difficult. All in all, I did love the Grand Marquis and my wedding was beautiful. However, the poor communication at the end really put a damper on a venue that I had originally thought had amazing customer service. If their staff could all get on the same page, this venue would be perfect. Reviewed on 27-09-2016

We greeted our guests with sparklers before they walked into a sweet wonderland with even more things than we had planned. Some of our favorites included fresh crepes with freshly shaved chocolate, a fire to roast smores, snow cones, a cheesecake station, and an ice cream station with 20 different toppings! Our guests were so excited and we had such a wonderful time from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The manager Joe went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and he made sure that the dads had their favorite burbon.
