Amazing To Work With!

The Team definitely did an amazing job throughout the whole wedding planning process! Their responses were so prompt. The venue itself was beautiful. The transitions throughout the day were seamless as well because of how the venue is.

And our Day of Coordinator, Emile-Margaret, she was literally perfect to work with. She actually showed us the venue, and sold us on it. And on the day of, SHE WAS ON POINT! We were so thankful to have her help. She also did an amazing job with connecting with all of our vendors.

Amazing Team with answering all of our questions. Just thankful to have worked with them and to have had such a perfect wedding day!

Thanks All❤️

Once in a lifetime

Me and my fiancé (now wife) booked at this venue for our wedding. From choosing our date after our initial meeting to saying “I do” in front of the beautiful river view our experience was everything we could have asked for, and then some! Things we didn’t even know we wanted, we’re made available and help was there every step of the way! From regular check ins to make sure vendors and details were being planned for to recommendations when we weren’t sure where to turn, this staff nailed every single detail. Their preferred venders were amazing and the day of staff was there for everything we needed to make sure photos, and timelines met our expectations. So many of our guests commented on how friendly and helpful all of the staff was. Not to mention the bar package blows away every other venue we looked at. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Fabulous venue in every way!

We highly recommend the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom for any event! We held our wedding there in April 2024. The venue is absolutely immaculate and offers a beautiful setting for a wedding. The Fox River makes a lovely backdrop and the lights of the Paramount's marquee add a sparkly accent. But the service that the staff provided is absolutely the star of the show. At every step of the process they were responsive, friendly, helpful and accommodating to our special requests. The price is right, too - a very affordable venue with lots of complimentary add-ons, such as the centerpieces, which saved us money. And the icing on the cake is the free theater ticket for each guest which we used as the wedding favor. The complimentary valet service made it easy for our guests to attend.

Also, because there is a smoking patio outside the ballroom, we were able to offer our guests a Cigar Bar, which was a unique touch.

We chose a round head table for a smaller wedding party because we wanted to be able to talk to everyone, and it worked great!

5 stars for sure, we hope everyone considers this venue!!
