My husband and I got married at the Grand Volute Ballroom on New Years Eve 2011 and the staff was AMAZING!!! They made sure everything ran smoothly and took care of everything for me. I did not have to worry about decorations, food, clean up, NOTHING! they really helped my wedding be as stress free as possible. I absolutely loved it here!

The Grand Volute is an absolutely awesome place to have your wedding and reception. I was initially attracted to it because, it is beautiful, but I also wanted my ceremony and reception in one location. Kent was our correspondent and he was wonderful! We didn't need a wedding planner because he was just on top of everything and made sure we had every last detail. We kind of wanted to do an unorthodox wedding (we were married on the grand staircase, had our dog be our ring bearer and had a dessert reception) and Kent and his crew went out of his way to accommodate us for the wedding that we wanted. I never had to worry about a thing from the Grand Volute's end for our wedding. The service was efficient, the food was delicious and the staff was very nice. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone! Thank you again Kent!!!

The Grand Volute was over the top spectacular! They had an impressive eye for every detail and a true desire to make my daughters fairy-tale wedding dreams come true. I highly promote and strongly recommend Kent and his professional team to host any event in the future.

The elegance of your facility including the grand staircase, the ballroom with soft lighting, the bridal party table, and the presentation staircase took everyones breath away! The food both for the cocktail hour and the dinner was exceptional. Servers were prompt and respectful. This evening was all that we had planned and hoped for.Siekman and VanDuyn Families

Add me to the list of super satisfied customers! WOW! From the planning to the big day, Mary Ellen and the entire Grand Volute Ballrooms staff made sure everything was perfect. Honestly, I am pretty picky and a little controlling (could be a tragic mix for wedding planning!), but Grand Volute Ballrooms made sure I was happy, at ease, and that everything was done exactly how I wanted. The food was OUTSTANDING, the venue was BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was PERFECT! Throughout the entire event people were coming up to us saying how "amazing this place is" and how they "wished there was somewhere like this where they got married." What the guests don't know...I came up way UNDER budget. Not only is this place perfect, but it is super affordable!

My husband and I got married at Grand Volute Ballrooms on Friday April 15, 2011. Everything was absolutely amazing from when we arrived at the venue, through the ceremony, and through the end of the reception. All of our requests and specifications were granted and followed through with by the staff from beginning to end. The facility was everything that we needed and more and was set-up just as we wanted with so much attention to detail. We loved our table decorations from Decor Elegance which were included in the package that we purchased. Lisa was very adapting to the style and look I was going for and even found some special ribbon just for our event that matched the overall theme of our wedding. The cake through Mirabella Confections (also included in the package) was amazing in style and in taste!! We did have to upgrade on the package to get some design put onto the cake but it was definitely well worth the extra cost. We absolutely loved the officiant (again, included in the package through the Grand Volute). Ken was very personable, professional, had a good sense of humor, and knew how to take charge when needed. Finally, the DJ included through the package (Complete Music) did a fabulous job getting a feel for what we wanted and getting our guests up and on the dance floor...without being cheesy with those silly novelty songs like the chicken dance or the hokey pokey. The food through the venue was amazing as well. We had the beef tips with potatoes and carrots and thought the taste and presentation was superb. We also added appetizers to our package and (although we didn't get to eat any as we were out on our party bus with the wedding party :)) we were told that they were amazing!! Mary Ellen was very responsive and attentive to all of our needs throughout our planning process and through the end of our event. Kent McKay was great as well, being at our reception to make sure my husband and I were happy with everything throughout the evening and that our guests were properly taken care of. Everything went exactly how we wanted it to. Thank you Grand Volute for such a beautiful experience...one of the best we will have in our lives!!- Mr. and Mrs. Quintanilla

I have attended many weddings. Grand Volute, by far, was the most pleasant venue, caring staff, as well as the best food ever. You helped make my daughter's special day even more enjoyable. Thanks Kent

Grand Volute is AMAZING!!! My ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. All of my family and friends have told me it is the best wedding they have ever been to. Kent was extremely helpful as well as the rest of the staff. I definitely do not regret spending a few extra dollars to have the wedding of my dreams!

I am so pleased with the results of my daughters wedding reception. When we sat down with the photographer he asked what she wanted her wedding day to be, she thought for a minute and said Perfect! There was not one thing that went wrong, Karen and her crew were on top of everything, it went so smooth and fast. She truly had her perfect wedding and we were really impressed! We have heard nothing but great things about the reception! My daughter wanted the chair skirts/sashes and I was against it but it was her day and when we seen them all set up-it really made the room look more elegant-very nice touch! The hanger steak for dinner was so good, lots of compliments on that also. I would not hesitate to tell anybody about our experience with the Grand Volute-a real treasure, we are very happy!

This organization should be your first stop when you decide to get married! Mary Ellen was outstanding in her ability to connect us with reputable vendors, suggest timelines, organize our vision into an incredible event, our daughter's wedding. She is prompt and efficient with emails, phone calls, every single detail. It is worth every penny to know when you arrive for the reception, all will be taken care of perfectly. Every staff member we worked with was professional and polite. It makes our memories of her wedding day all positive ones. Thanks so much, Mary Ellen.

The Grand Volute Ballrooms was an amazing place to have our reception. I am sure weddings can be easily accomodating as well. The food is excellent, the service is accomodating and Kent and Mary Ellen will go above and beyond to get what you want for your big day. Do be aware though that both love what they do, so you need to be careful about how you make a suggestion. Also, be sure to ask if there is another wedding the day of your event...this is where things can become tricky and frustrating. Overall, our wedding day was very memorable and all guests walked away happy. I would reccommend the Grand Voulte to anyone I come in contact with.

Mary Ellen and everyone at Grand Volute were so professional. From the beginning of our planning Mary Ellen was so sweet and we always felt she wanted to make this day special for our daughter and son-in-law. She had many suggestions and ideas for things we would have never thought of. She told us she would do as little or as much as we wanted her to as far as hiring a florist, photograper, printer, etc. We appreciated that the night was planned out almost to the minute. After such a hectic day, I finally felt we could relax and truly enjoy the party. The food was excellant as was the wait staff. We received (and still are nine days later) so many compliments regarding the venue, the employees and the food.

The experience we had at the Grand Volute for our daughter's wedding was over-the-top! From the first time we set foot in the Grand Volute until the moment we left after the reception, we were treated with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Planning the wedding from over a 1000 miles away, I needed to rely on Mary Ellen's expertise and she was always more than helpful. Her knowledge and experience proved to be right on and our whole experience went beyond our expectations. The food was exquisite (we're still receiving rave reviews from our guests), and the servers were all so helpful and professional! We especially loved the way the Head Chef paraded the groom's cake around to all the tables so that everyone could see the fantastic job the baker did! All in all, we would highly recommend the Grand Volute and their wonderful staff for any event that you want handled as if it was their own event!

Being an overwhelmed bride and stressed to the max arriving at the grand volute, I was quickly reassured that everything would be just fine. They were very attentive and had everything set up as far as drinks and snacks in the bridal lounge and grooms den before we even showed up. The were always out of the way, but around when you needed them. It seem everything just went according to plan and turned out just how we imagined and hoped it would. It created a great memory for me and my husband which we will always be able to share. I am so thrilled with my choice of having both the ceremony and reception at the Grand Volute. It was so easy for people to go from one room into the next instead of having to wait around or find the next place they need to be. As dinner was served all the waiters we well kept and came out in a orderly fashion. Food was way beyond expectations and super delicious. Hopefully not for my husbands sake but if I ever were to get married again there would be no doubt in my mind where it would be at :). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and as I told Kent the night of our wedding when all of it was said and done, it turned out absolutely perfect!
