The Grand Ballroom
This banquet space can be used for a variety of events such as weddings or conventions. The Grand Ballroom is four stories high and holds enough space for as many as 1,500 guests. It also has a beautiful custom made chandeliers. During our tour I was told that it is approximately 60,000 to rent the banquet excluding décor and food. The Grand Ballroom is absolutely magical!
