The Grand 1401: Perfect for Intimate Weddings in Fresno

When you think of a wedding at The Grand 1401, the first thing that might come to mind is our impressive capacity. With the Grand Ballroom accommodating up to 550 guests and The Grand on 10 handling up to 300, it’s easy to assume that our venue is best suited for large gatherings. However, a common misconception is that our ballrooms are only ideal for grand affairs. In reality, we host a wide range of wedding sizes, most frequently between 150 to 250 guests, and both ballrooms are perfect for intimate weddings.

Why Choose The Grand 1401 for Your Intimate Wedding?

  1. Flexible Table Arrangements: Our ballrooms offer the flexibility to arrange tables in a way that suits your guest count. Typically, tables seat 10 guests, but for a more intimate feel, you can opt for 6-8 guests per table. This not only fills the room more effectively but also provides your guests with extra space, ensuring comfort and ease of movement.

  1. Creating Cozy Spaces with Draping: Transform our expansive ballrooms into smaller, cozier spaces with the use of elegant draping. Draping allows you to section off areas, creating a more intimate atmosphere. You can even design separate rooms for your wedding ceremony and reception, giving your event a unique and personalized touch.

  1. Enhanced Creative Flexibility: More space means more opportunities for creativity. Whether it’s adding a second bar, expanding the dance floor, or setting up a cozy lounge area, our ballrooms provide the flexibility to make your wedding truly unique. The extra space can be used to create distinct zones for different activities, ensuring your guests have an unforgettable experience.

  1. Versatility with The Grand on 10: The Grand on 10 features partition doors that can transform the ballroom into two smaller spaces. When closed, one side can comfortably accommodate up to 60 guests, while the other side can hold between 100 to 200 guests. This versatility ensures that your wedding space feels just right, no matter the size of your guest list.
