ons 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!

We had a flawless experience at the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom. Growing up, I’d often drive past the Paramount Theater area with my family during visits to Aurora. It was always a ...
familiar part of the city, but I never realized it housed such a stunning wedding venue—and neither did many of our guests! Discovering the Meyer Ballroom felt like uncovering a hidden gem right in the heart of a place that already held so many childhood memories. It made our wedding feel even more special and meaningful. We recently celebrated our wedding at the Meyer Ballroom at the Paramount Theater in Aurora, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, the Paramount team went above and beyond to help us bring our vision to life. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. ✨ Special shoutout to Morgan – she was the first person to show us the Meyer Ballroom, and her enthusiasm and knowledge instantly made us feel confident in our choice. She helped us envision how the space could transform into the perfect setting for our celebration, and she was incredibly helpful throughout the early planning stages.
On our wedding day, our coordinators Molly and Jess were absolute lifesavers. They were on top of every detail, handling any situation with calm precision and keeping everything running on schedule—from photos and speeches to dances and transitions. Their presence allowed us to fully enjoy the day without stress, knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes.
One of the most memorable moments was when my maids of honor surprised me with a special part of their speech. Molly and Jess helped orchestrate the surprise seamlessly, and it meant the world to me. It’s those thoughtful touches that truly set the Paramount team apart. The surprise? A life-size cutout of Jacob Black from Twilight—an inside joke that’s been running between my bridesmaids and me for years. Seeing that cutout appear mid-speech had me laughing through tears, and it was the perfect blend of humor, nostalgia, and love. The fact that our coordinators helped make that moment happen just shows how invested they were in making our day uniquely ours.
The Meyer Ballroom itself was stunning—elegant, spacious, and beautifully lit. It provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the ambiance and flow of the evening.
If you’re considering the Paramount Theater for your wedding, especially the Meyer Ballroom, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The team is exceptional, the space is gorgeous, and they truly care about making your day unforgettable.
Response from Paramount's Meyer Ballroom on 10/30/2025
Wow Sandra - thank you for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful words. I love...
knowing that the Meyer Ballroom held a special connection to your past and that it became an even more meaningful part of your story. “Hidden gem” really is the perfect way to describe it.
From your first tour to the big day itself, it was clear how much heart you both put into your wedding. And of course, the Jacob Black surprise will forever be a Meyer Ballroom legend. We were so happy to play a small part in that moment; it was the perfect mix of humor, sentiment, and personality.
Thank you again for trusting our team to bring everything together. It truly means a lot to know you felt supported every step of the way. Wishing you both a lifetime of inside jokes, stone-fired pizzas and matching converse.
Sincerely,
Your Very Own Paramount Wedding Team: Jess, Molly, Morgan & Jacob Black

The team was fantastic to work with, and we want to give a special shout-out to Morgan. She was not only friendly but also went above and beyond to make our wedding night incredibly special. She was a great partner to all our vendors, including our caterer, Reulands, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We were also thrilled with the unique perks, like having our names and a special message on the Paramount's marquee and the large photos of us displayed for our guests. Having our own private room was such a nice touch, giving us a moment to ourselves as husband and wife. This venue truly has it all, and we are so happy we chose it for our big day.

She made sure everything went smoothly and it did. The entire staff was extremely helpful proactively addressing any of our needs. The bride was very calm and relaxed in large part because things ran so smoothly. I am so happy with the Bride & Groom’s decision to have their wedding at the Paramount Theatre Grand Gallery and would highly recommend it. Thanks to everyone for making the day even more special.

t was history. We knew the Paramount Meyer Ballroom was our choice mid tour and put a date on hold before we walked out the door! We left with such a good feeling in our hearts. They have so many great options that are included in the price (amazing bar package, beautiful venue space, 2 table cloth options, comfortable chairs, beautiful centerpieces, a view that’s hard to beat and so much more) and then many upgrades that are more than fairly priced! We worked closely with Emile-Margaret throughout the entire process (but everyone we worked with was phenomenal!) and we asked if she could be our day of coordinator for our special day (spoil alert, she said yes 🤗). Emile-Margaret was available for every question we had and was very thorough during the entire planning process. She worked around our scheduling conflicts for our 3/6/9 month consultations and kept us on track with our decisions! I loved that the Meyer Ballroom offered venue viewings for all couples that have already signed with them. This really helped with making our vision come to life and testing out different decor options without being rushed and making rash decisions. It was the most magical day and that’s all thanks to Emile-Margaret and the entire staff at the Paramount Meyer Ballroom. If you’re looking for a venue that has your best interest at heart and really cares for you as a couple then the Paramount Meyer ballroom is the place for you! Thank you Emile-Margaret and the Paramount Meyer Ballroom for everything! Truly a dream come true.

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 w...
edding. The Fox River makes a lovely backdrop and the lights of the Paramount's marquee adds 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!!

d our wedding was no different! I was so impressed with all of the details they helped us bring together to craft the wedding of our dreams. It was a magical experience from beginning to end. They have a handful for preferred vendors you need to chose from for catering and entertainment, but honestly I found this made the vendor selection much less intimidating. The vendors are in a range of price points and our wedding coordinator at the Paramount walked us through that information. We met with the Paramount wedding coordinator periodically throughout the planning process. Those meetings helped us remain on track with the planning and reminded us of small details we may have forgotten. Planning can be stressful, but Emile-Margaret and everyone at the Paramount were so amazing. I highly recommend them.

Truly, all our guests were gushing about how beautiful the venue was (we were in the Meyer Ballroom). My mom who has planned two other weddings for my older sisters and been in a lot of wedding planning meetings and venue visits immediately said it was the easiest and best venue tour she'd ever had in her life right after we met. We booked like...the next day. Add a little magic of the theatre to your big day!

It is almost hard to put in words how amazing our wedding at the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom was! Breanne was the most incredibly wedding coordinator, working tirelessly before, dur...
ing, and after our wedding to make our day special. She coordinated everything with our outside vendors to make the day go smooth and answered all calls/Zoom meetings with professional appeal. We were able to host our rescheduled wedding date with no extra issues and it was so convenient to have ceremony & reception on site! Our guests raved about the venue's beauty and the awesome staff that helped take care of us. We loved having the valet parking for our guests and the amazing views of downtown Aurora. Thank you Meyer Ballroom staff for our amazing reception and ceremony, and thank you again to Breanne for EVERYTHING!

When my husband and I first started planning our wedding in 2018 for a 2020 date, we never could have anticipated that we’d be faced with a worldwide pandemic, causing us to wind u...
p changing our wedding date several times. This was an unbelievably stressful situation, but we couldn’t have been luckier to have the wonderful team at Paramount by our side the entire time. Specifically, our event coordinator, Breanne. Sometimes, we would go months without any new updates regarding when we’d be able officially have our wedding, but Breanne was constantly there for us whenever we needed her to answer any questions we may have had. When it finally came time for us to have our wedding, it was better than we could have possibly imagined. Breanne, and all of the other hardworking people at Paramount, truly went above and beyond to make our day as magical as possible, And let’s not forget to mention just how beautiful the space is. The Grand Gallery is so beautiful on its own, that having your wedding there should be a no-brainer. We just received our photos from our wedding, and needless to say, we definitely went with the right venue. Paramount and Breanne were just so incredible to work with, and if you choose to plan your wedding with them, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

pretty lanterns provided by Meyer so I didn't have to waste time or money on 15-20 floral arrangements. The riverfront is a gorgeous area for pictures and the new atrium is just fantastic! But the best part of Meyer is the staff! We had to reschedule due to Covid and every step of the way Breanne and Brianna were there to help make the transition as smooth as possible. No extra stress or worrying! Day of staff were friendly and polite and ensured we had the best night of our lives!

mes with it is just beyond words can't explain. It's also perfect for romantic photos.
We were very lucky to have Sam Gaul as our wedding coordinator. She was very kind to us and the whole family and so patient when it came to rehearsal and the day of the event. Definitely took all the stress away. They give you all the information you need to book everything and to hire anyone to make your special day perfect. From a photographers, to flowers , to wedding dresses all of the above
I highly recommend any couples looking for a venue to make sure you book at the Meyer Ballroom. You and your guest will love every second of it.

Meyer Ballroom was the first and only place we looked at for our wedding ceremony and reception. We are SO glad we did. Kelsey, Breanne and Sam were the most amazing women to work ...
with! While Kelsey started with us she soon was promoted to a new position and Breanne took over and she didn't miss a beat. She knew all our details and what we wanted and was an excellent communicator. The setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is everything I could've ever wanted. If you are looking for a place to have both ceremony and reception then look no further. If I could do it over again I would choose Meyer Ballroom every time. It does not disappoint and the photos from the downtown Aurora area are exquisite. Highly highly recommend!!

We were married here on 2/22/2020. This was a wonderful venue - beautiful for a winter wedding. The staff was very friendly and Breanne, our coordinator, was extremely helpful with...
the planning details and on the day of. It's a beautiful space - especially the reception room, which overlooks Paramount Theater and the Aurora river. It's stunning at night and we got a ton of compliments on the unique space. We were also given details that helped with planning, including a list of vendors you can reach out that tend to offers discounts for working with Meyer's Ballroom. My only advice would be to be clear about the parking on your invites and wedding website - tell guests to arrive early. Overall though, such a great venue. It's lovely on it's own, but can also be dressed up wonderfully with personal touches.

Our fall wedding at the paramount theater meyer ballroom was absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment we walked through the door my now husband and I felt this was exactly ...
what we’ve been looking for. The ability to have our ceremony on site location of the venue was just a perk :-) Our wedding yes were very complementary and how elegant both the ceremony and reception were as well as the amazing scenery next to the Fox River. The Paramount staff went above and beyond in every aspect of both the ceremony and the reception from start to finish they made planning our wedding an absolute cakewalk. We are so pleased and so appreciative of all that they have done for my husband and I. We highly recommend the Paramount theater for your wedding event. It was truly a unique and different yet most classic experience we could have hoped for.

t the staff really is what got us to choose the Meyer Ballroom as our venue. From our first interaction at a wedding expo to the first and second visits, throughout the whole process of getting to our big day everyone has been spectacular and quick to respond to emails, specifically Kelsey and Breanne. Breanne was our coordinator for the day (which is a huge plus since you don't get that everywhere). She is so kind and accommodating and always checking in and helping making sure everything is running smoothly. She made the day feel effortless. We truly recommend this to anyone looking for the place to say, "I do!"

From the first email through the wedding day Paramount provided the best customer service I've ever experienced. We worked with Kelsey and she was amazing. No matter what problem I...
had, late rsvp changes or forgetting to plan a vendor dinner table, she had a solution. She was there for us again on the big day making sure everything went smoothly and helping us with set it. She helped make it so I could actually relax and enjoy my day. The beautiful, recently renovated, atrium was the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony and the view of the fox river from the ballroom was breathtaking. To top it all off they have a large bridal suite equipped with it's own private bathroom so I didn't have to worry about someone seeing me before it was time. I couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. When you book with Paramount, you're not just booking you're venue, they are so much more!

sey, who made our entire day truly magical. The venue is extremely accessible , which was a key component when we were venue searching, we were able to have the cocktail located in one area and then we chose to do a room flip after the ceremony. We LOVED the ease of everything the Paramount offered from the Bridal Suite, Groomsmen Room, Valet Parking, and all on one level. I truly cannot emphasize enough how exceptional Kelsey was. Kelsey answered ENDLESS e-mails from me for MONTHS, and then daily the week of the wedding, and she was working with multiple sets of parents-which she did flawlessly. We are beyond overjoyed to have had such a perfect day/night at the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom. We were so thrilled, we actually bought a seat at the Paramount to mark our wedding date, and as a tribute and thank you for the exceptional experience we had.

r ceremony to be. We chose the staircase of the atrium and it looked so beautiful. They also provide a list of preferred vendors which helps with the craziness of choosing between places! Breanne was our day of coordinator and it was extremely helpful to have her around (and deliver champagne to the bridal suite every 5 minutes)! She made sure everything went smoothly from set up to take down. Overall, Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom is nothing less than amazing. We had so many compliments all night about the beautiful venue and friendly staff. I highly recommend having your wedding here!

We got married here on 7-27-19. We loved the venue- when we went to visit for the first time, and stepped into the Meyer Ballroom, it just felt right. All of our interactions with ...
the staff and the venue just confirmed that it was the perfect place for us. We did use some of the venue's preferred vendors (Simply Music DJ and Lighting and Cuisine America catering). The view out of the windows at the river was amazing. One of my IL guests remarked, "I haven't really been to Aurora, but I think I'll have to come back and visit." I think the Meyer Ballroom really showcases the best and most beautiful part of downtown Aurora. Jordan was our event coordinator, and she was amazing. She was very sweet and friendly and stayed in contact before, during, and even after the wedding! I accidentally left my EpiPen under the table at the venue at the end of the night, and she offered to bring it to me that night! I didn't take her up on it, but obviously, that's above and beyond service!
I highly recommend this venue for your wedding or other event. My wedding was a perfect dream here! I couldn't have imagined it any better!
