I have been both a musician and event DJ for quite some time now. I have toured and worked all over Europe, the United States, the UK, and Japan. It's always a challenge when you arrive to a venue to make sure everything is set and your show will go smoothly. The Sheraton Commander for it's history, elegance, and staff are what WE always hope for in a venue. It's always a pleasure to have an event there. Judy, who is in charge of what happens at these events, is the ultimate professional and also loved by everyone from the the vendors to the cherished clients. The chefs and complete staff in general are all fantastic. If I hear someone would like me for the entertainment at an even there? I reply, when? Thank you Sheraton Commander. DS

From the moment we first contacted Granite Links, their communication was prompt, lovely, and professional. The quality of their work and the value they provided was simply perfect - the venue and views were absolutely stunning, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Theresa went out of her way to work with me on the timing for dropping off items, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident with the run-through. Additionally, my attendant was so on the ball that I didn't feel the need to check my phone once for timing throughout the entire event. Granite Links truly made our special day unforgettable.

The only downside of having your wedding at Grand View will be the number of times you will be asked. "how did you find this place"?! Gorgeous lake backdrop, eye catching ballroom & a caring staff that takes it upon themselves to make sure their client's day shine. You & your guest will be "wowed" so many times that there will not be enough stars to describe Grand View's greatness!
