Thank you for considering the Grand Hotel.
We’re always ready to help you plan your Grand event!
“We would like to thank the staff at the Grand
Hotel for going above and beyond to make
our reception more than what we expected it
to be. They were accommodating to our ideas,
allowing us to have an unforgettable bridal
party introduction by letting us come in on a
Harley! They also went out of their way to color
the punch to match the colors of our reception.
They also did a great job coordinating the setup and food to fit with our theme. The new
projector and screens they have invested in
are fantastic allowing guests to view the screens
from all angles of the room. All the updates they
have added show they are definitely current with
today’s trends. Not only do they offer the best
prices in town they offer service that’s priceless.
Thank you again for everything!”
Sincerely,
Leah and Donald Johannes
