When it comes to planning a wedding, few choices are as meaningful as selecting the right setting. The venue sets the tone, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for every magical moment of your day. At The Grand 1401, we’re thrilled to offer a truly unique wedding experience, combining the charm and sophistication of two extraordinary spaces. Picture this: a breathtaking ceremony high above Fresno in our Grand on 10, followed by a grand celebration in the beautiful and spacious Grand Ballroom. Here’s why this combination is a perfect way to bring your dream wedding to life.
1. The Stunning Backdrop of The Grand on 10
The Grand on 10 offers an unmatched ceremony location on the 10th floor of our historic building. As your guests arrive, they’ll be greeted by stunning panoramic views of downtown Fresno, offering a dramatic and photogenic backdrop for you to exchange vows. With elegant architectural details and a sky-high ambiance, The Grand on 10 elevates your ceremony—both literally and figuratively!
2. Cocktail Hour on The Grand on 10 and Photo Ops on the Veranda
After your ceremony, guests can enjoy a sophisticated cocktail hour on The Grand on 10. This space provides an inviting atmosphere where guests can sip signature cocktails and savor appetizers while taking in panoramic views of downtown Fresno. The elegant ambiance, complete with skyline views, lets guests celebrate in style as they transition from ceremony to reception.
While your guests are mingling, you and your wedding party have exclusive access to beautiful photo opportunities both on our private veranda and around the historic building. Capture unforgettable moments on the veranda with the cityscape as a stunning backdrop, or take advantage of our historic elevator lobby for timeless indoor shots. Outside, the classic architecture of the building’s exterior provides another picturesque setting that adds an old-world charm to your photos.
This time for photos allows you to document your special day in an elegant and varied way, capturing the sophistication and unique charm of The Grand 1401.
3. A Seamless Transition to the Grand Ballroom for the Reception
After the ceremony, guests are treated to a seamless transition from The Grand on 10 to our expansive Grand Ballroom on the first floor. This ballroom is ideal for hosting a reception with up to 550 guests, providing ample space for dancing, dining, and toasting to your new life together.
The Grand Ballroom’s open layout and classic décor make it versatile for any wedding style, whether you’re planning a formal black-tie affair or a more relaxed and personalized celebration.
