About This Vendor

Historic downtown Stillwater's Hidden Gem

The Grand began as a lumberyard during the heyday of Stillwater’s lumber boom. It was re-purposed into our beautiful ballroom in 1994. Left intact is the soaring ceiling with exposed lumber beams which now showcase our trademark antique stained glass dome. The Grand Banquet Hall is located just a couple blocks from the St. Croix River in historic downtown Stillwater, MN! Our ballroom features beautiful stained glass decor, space for up to 350 guests, a generous dance floor and a very long stunning antique bar.

nts on how good the food was! I honestly wish I could eat the food every single day it was that good. The serving staff had a great plan to get plates out to people quick and efficiently. The space is huge and everyone had room to move around - it did not feel cramped in there at all (I believe we had around 180 guests & the venue can hold up to 325.) It's so beautiful on the inside and I love everything about the entire night. I would highly recommend the Grand to anyone thinking about a venue in Stillwater!

The staff the day of was beyond amazing and made sure everything went smoothly and my Dad (the go-to man for the evening) and I never had to worry or think twice about a thing. The food though was seriously SO GOOD! Every single person I talked to before and after the wedding (I'm not exaggerating) told us how our wedding food was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding!! We could not have been more thrilled with how our reception turned out and it was all thanks to the Grand and their incredible team!
