Came here for a winter wedding and I have to admit, looked alright on the outside. This is a classic case of "don't judge the book by its cover!!
They put my friend's name "up in the lights" which was a great way to greet people (and also to make those driving by aware that "hey...the wedding is HERE!!"
When you walk inside you feel as if you are being taken back to the old black-and-white movie era. You can tell that this was an old movie theatre due to its high ceilings and almost cavernous feeling.
We had drinks in the "upper" area of the theatre as the happy couple was getting their photos done. There could have been a bit more seating upstairs since everyone was getting a bit tired and wanted to get dinner going.
Inside is a very beautiful art deco place for holding events and they stuck with that theme right down to the "EXIT" signs. It was very very classy and classic all at the same time without being overbearing.
Sound quality was also very good. The music being played sounded fine and didn't have to worry about too much of an echo effect.
There were about 15 tables of 10 at this place and we still had a huge dance floor to get your groove on as well.
Just to let you know that parking can be a bit tricky in this area as it is ALWAYS busy.. They have Green P and street available, but no actual facility parking. If you are the bride/groom, they have the front area for you to be dropped off at, but as for leaving the car, well, that's the chauffeur's issue! -

Like the last reviewer I agree that the parking to the Grand is a bit of a mess but that's what was built around the Grand in the years past and present. The theatre itself is beautiful with a great antique interior and the outside appeal being there at the signage and entrance. This is a good place.
