Grand Prospect Hall

Where to even begin? Planning our wedding with Carmela at the Grand Prospect Hall was an absolute dream. She was patient, made it easy to stick to budget, helped us create a delicious menu and was there to answer every single question we had along the way. Both my husband and I grew up watching the commercials, and honestly, our dreams did come true. Our family and friends loved the venue, and it truly felt magical celebrating with everyone. Special shout-out to Madeline and Thomas - thank you for making sure the night went smoothly. Couldn't recommend this place more!

GPH is a pretty great one-stop shop and they have recommendations/contacts for every aspect of your wedding that you can access. The support we received from Carmella was akin to having a wedding planner, without the added expense. She helped us closely throughout the process and was extremely timely in answering emails. When we had to change the date of our wedding, they were really flexible and worked with us. We had access to the entire second floor and The spaces were great and beautiful (though the atrium was a bit warm). Plenty of room for a robust dance floor. GPH helped us feel at home for this event, helped with last minute changes, and made a great impression!

I had my wedding at The Grand Prospect Hall in July 2017 and would give them more towards 3.5 stars. Pros: The atrium was a gorgeous place for a ceremony and sat everyone comfortably. The Grand Ballroom is absolutely stunning and was the perfect setting for a wedding. I love all the history, elegance, and character the venue has. There were some great places to take photos (including right outside on the street). Our DJ did uplighting and it made the place look incredible! We had plenty of space to dance and it was nice and spacious for our 185 guests. The cocktail hour was awesome and the food was delicious. It's unreal how many foods are a part of it! The vodka luge was a big hit and even had our names written on it. They knew we liked penguins so they made us giant penguin ice sculptures and carved the fruit into penguins. A lovely touch that our guests adored. The cake was truly magnificent and out of this world- a work of art unlike any I've ever seen! People said the dinner was very good (except maybe the fish option) and alcohol was plentiful. They even made our signature drink for us and displayed the signs we created. Tom was helpful and catered to the bridal party by having a mini cocktail hour set up for us in the bridal suite. We also love Mrs. H! Cons: Our maitre d, Tom, made a huge error and never put out of our favors which was devastating after having created a whole display and spending hundreds of dollars on champagne bottles for our guests. We were so disappointed to hear that our guests must have left and thought we didn't purchase favors. Also going along with this issue was that they insisted on keeping our guest book with the place cards and then moving it to the favor table later in the night (I didn't like this because I wanted it accessible to guests all night long but they didn't like that idea)...so you know how that went, no favor table meant no guest book reemergence so barely anyone signed our guest book which is terrible. Another huge mistake was that they never put the AC on in the atrium where our ceremony was and it was extremely hot in there (and we had asked many times leading up the wedding that it would be nice and cold as there were guests with medical issues). We almost didn't get married in there but I happened to forget my veil at the hotel which delayed the ceremony and ended up being a saving grace so that the room would slightly cool even though it was still hot which is unacceptable when you're paying that much money for an INDOOR wedding. Also because of AC issues, they ended up changing the groomsmen suite to a different room than the one my groom wanted (the new room was fine but not as photogenic and not what we had planned for). Overall, we had a wonderful wedding but I hate that it is clouded by these mishaps. I would still recommend the venue if you want a fairy tale setting and luxury but be wary of their mistakes and be on top of them.

My Wedding is in two weeks and I can't wait. I have been working with The Grand Prospect Hall for the past year and they have truly gone above and beyond. They even helped me plan other aspects of my wedding, beyond the venue. Grand Prospect Hall was the first thing i booked once I set my wedding date. I've known I wanted to have my wedding here for a long time. I visited GPH back in 2014 for a corporate function and I was just blown away, the food - the service - the ballroom... WOW!!!! They have truly made my wedding planing so easy. Cant wait to update everyone after the Honeymoon!! :)
