Angel and Helen’s wedding!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day! From the moment we arrived until the very end of the night, everything was absolutely beautiful and so well organized. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. Working with Jordan and Andrea was stress free as they were both just so amazing! The venue itself was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere. The price was also reasonable compared to other venues we were looking at. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the beautiful space and how smoothly everything went. We made memories that we'll cherish forever, and we're so grateful to everyone who helped make our wedding day so unforgettable. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful place with an amazing team to celebrate their special day.

Wedding Venue
We had our wedding at the Paramount and it was truly the best day! The whole planning experience we felt well supported by the staff and they were always available to answer our questions. On our wedding day, our coordinators, Jess and Kelly, were phenomenal and really worked hard to make our day all we could have hoped for. Everything looked beautiful and ran smoothly. We could not have asked for a better wedding day!
Jennifer Hahn•Jun 3, 2026Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure being part of your special day. Thank you for trusting us with such an important milestone, and congratulations again on your marriage! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. - Jess from Paramount's Meyer Ballroom

The Perfect Venue
We had our wedding at the Paramount Theatre and it truly felt like something out of a movie—perfect for our movie-themed celebration! From the moment we walked in, the historic charm and stunning architecture set the stage for an unforgettable day. The staff was incredible—attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Every detail was handled seamlessly, which let us fully enjoy each moment without stress. The lighting, the ambiance, and the grandeur of the space made everything feel magical, like we were starring in our own film. Our guests are still talking about how unique and beautiful the venue was. It created such a memorable experience, and the theater’s character added something truly special that you just can’t replicate anywhere else. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, history, and a little bit of cinematic magic, this is it. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to start our forever!

Meyer Ballroom staff and venue are great
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Meyer Ballroom. The staff is incredibly kind, organized, and accommodating. On the day of, Lynsey Gallagher was our coordinator and she was calm, stayed on task, and had the most positive attitude. Beautiful places to take photos around the Ballroom as well. The overall planning process was also a breeze with MBR’s checklist and check-ins. Some guests had comments about valet and parking so ensure that you square that away beforehand.
Jennifer Hahn•Feb 20, 2026Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for celebrating at Meyer Ballroom! It was truly a pleasure working with you both. I’m so glad you felt supported throughout the planning process and on your wedding day! That means the world to me. We appreciate your feedback regarding valet and parking as well. Guest experience is very important to us, and we’ll continue working to ensure expectations are clearly communicated in advance. Wishing you both a lifetime of 💞love and 😀happiness! ~Lynsey Gallagher 🥰

Absolutely recommend!
The staff at Meyer Ballroom is amazing!! Morgan and Molly were always attentive and answered all our questions in detail and in a timely manner prior to the wedding. Jess did a great job coordinating our rehearsal and she, Molly, and Dan, were wonderful on the day of the wedding. They were so on top of things, they made the day stress-free and run smoothly. Everything was set up perfectly by their decorating assistants, and the room flip went great. Everyone played a huge part in making our wedding the best day of our lives! There are also so many beautiful spots to take photos near the venue. The ballroom and atrium are so spacious and the view is very pretty. We can’t recommend this venue enough!
Jennifer Hahn•Oct 29, 2025Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m so glad our team could help make your day run smoothly and be everything you dreamed of! It was such a joy working with you and seeing your beautiful vision come together; the romantic décor you brought in made the space feel so warm and elegant. Wishing you both all the best in this exciting new chapter! –Molly & Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom
