Amazing, Old Fashioned, Classy Venue
The Grand was such a great experience. We got married on the 10th floor and the building makes you feel like you’re in different city! Very clean, very kind staff, the venue coordinator Alma is very accommodating and helpful. The facility is huge and has a full kitchen, bathrooms, terrace access, a gorgeous stage with draping at an additional price, tables & chairs, stunning ornate venue. A dream come true for a winter wedding!

There is no box office to purchase tickets. I called and left my number but no response or call back. Beautiful building with wonderful events but no place to buy tickets and I don't want to but on Facebook.
The Grand 1401•Aug 24, 2026Thank you for reaching out, and we’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed our beautiful building and events! 🤍 Just to clarify, The Grand 1401 does not operate a box office or manage ticket sales for events hosted at our venue. Tickets are purchased directly through the event organizer or ticketing provider. We currently have two ticketed events, but we’re not sure which event you’re referring to. If you let us know which tickets you’re trying to purchase, we’d be happy to point you in the right direction and provide the appropriate ticketing information.

The bottom and top floors are beautiful event venues! Lots of history in this building. The event coordinator was very nice and knew a lot about the history of the building.

Best venue in town!! Absolutely love having My Daughters quinceañera there. Everything went so well and organized. Management does an amazing job at making sure everything runs just how you plan, they are friendly and so thoughtful. Will be booking them again. They also help with great recommendations for photographers, music, decor etc all the needs for your event in one place.
