Wedding Ceremony Options at The Grand on 10
The Full Ballroom Experience with Wedding Reception in Grand Ballroom:
Imagine walking down the aisle in a beautifully decorated ballroom with theater-style seating, surrounded by up to 290 of your closest friends and family. With a variety of wedding ceremony options, The Grand on 10 offers a spacious, elegant setting for your ceremony. The full length of The Grand on 10 provides ample room, while the floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light. The historic charm of our venue adds a timeless ambiance to your special moment.
After the ceremony, guests can easily transition to cocktail hour on the balcony. With a bar set up on the veranda, they can enjoy refreshing drinks while taking in the spectacular views of downtown Fresno. This seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour ensures that your guests remain engaged and entertained throughout the event.
Reception at the Grand Ballroom
If you’re looking to create a more dynamic event experience, consider moving your reception to our Grand Ballroom on the first floor. This grand space accommodates up to 550 guests and offers a different atmosphere while maintaining the elegance and historic charm of our venue.
After a beautiful ceremony in The Grand on 10, your guests can head downstairs to the Grand Ballroom, where they’ll be greeted by a stunning reception setup. The larger space allows for more elaborate decorations, a bigger dance floor, and the ability to accommodate more guests, making it ideal for a larger celebration.
The Grand on 10 Wedding Ceremony & Reception Option
If you’re envisioning a more intimate ceremony, our partition doors can close off a smaller section of The Grand on 10. This cozy space is perfect for ceremonies with 60 to 80 guests, offering a more personal and private atmosphere. The smaller side of the ballroom provides the same elegant setting but with a closer, more connected feel.
Once the ceremony is over, guests can exit through the balcony doors on the ceremony side to enjoy cocktail hour while the bride and groom take photos. After cocktail hour, guests can return to the larger side of The Grand on 10 ballroom for the wedding reception. When choosing this wedding ceremony option, the maximum reception capacity is 250.
