Our wedding at the Grand Ballroom at Joliet Union Station was nothing short of magical! The location's beauty captivated us from the start, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Every detail, from the set up to the catering was handled with care and professionalism. The venues team was supportive and responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress free. Our guests were equally impressed, praising both the stunning setting and top notch service. Choosing The Grand Ballroom was one of the best decisions we made, making our wedding day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend to any couple searching for their dream wedding location.

My husband and I hosted our ceremony and reception at the Grand Ballroom/Joliet Union Station on 9/30/23. We were looking for a venue that was uniquely beautiful, had great food and service, and met all of our basic requirements (capacity, location, budget). This venue ticked all of our boxes! We worked with Taylor Prieboy, and she was incredible! She was extremely professional, responsive, and detailed throughout the entire planning process. She actually got married on the same day as us so she couldn't be there, but that didn't negatively effect our day at all - everything was seamless, the venue looked beautiful, and the service was amazing. We have received so many compliments on the food and venue from our guests! We would highly recommend The Grand Ballroom to anyone planning their wedding!

The Venue was just gorgeous and allowed for the most amazing images. If beautiful photos are impotent to you, this is the venue for you. All the staff are amazing to work with, esp...

ecially Taylor. We went to view about 20 wedding Venues on on the South Side of Chicago. The Grand Ballroom was the only Venue we found that did not nickle and dime you over every little thing. Their pricing was clear and the packages could be adjusted to fit your needs. Food! I can not express enough how good the food was. At the food tasting, they pulled out the red carpet experience. We meet with the head chief and were able to adjust/ customized the dishes to what we liked. The second most popular response we received from our guest and vendors was how good the food was, only second to how beautiful everything was. As for the Covid Wedding experience. We were only allowed to have 50 individuals attend our wedding (including ourselves and our vendors). The Ground Ballroom (Mistwood Golf Club) Staff could not have been more understanding during this difficult time. The waited it out with us to see if we could go to phase 4 to hold our wedding. They only charged us for the guest that we could have in attendance.
