    We’ve only had the chance to shoot a couple of weddings at the Meyer Ballroom so far — but we already love it! The space is absolutely beautiful, with great natural light and clean, modern details that photograph so well. It’s one of those venues where everything just works visually, which makes our job so much easier. Even more than the space, the team at Paramount is amazing. Everyone we’ve worked with has been kind, organized, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for couples and vendors alike. That kind of energy makes a huge difference on a wedding day! We’re definitely looking forward to working there more in the future, it’s always a good one to see on our schedule. – The Once Like a Spark Team

From the first point of contact, the staff is incredibly professional, educational and knowledgeable, guiding couples through every step of the planning process. The quality of their work is truly unique, fun, beautiful and striking - they transform the space into something truly special for every big day. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every wedding day is perfect, attending to every detail to make it a truly memorable occasion. We would highly recommend Paramount's Meyer Ballroom to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding venue with exceptional service.

    Let me start with this, one of my friend’s is a retired wedding/event coordinator and she said she’s never seen a team as good as the MBR team in her 20 years. The atrium is a beautiful ceremony location, the ballroom is classy and perfect for a wedding bash, their vendors are excellent, and they are just a well oiled machine. They take great notes throughout the process and check in with you, their software platform makes it easy and I just can’t say enough good things about the day of. I had someone constantly checking in to see if I needed something to drink or food, etc. We went down the street for pics and a coordinator came with us and made sure we had water when we got back. 100/10 rating. Also, so many photo opps near the venue.

    After attending amazing shows at the Paramount for years and being season subscribers, I was thrilled to learn they hosted weddings. The Paramount always puts on an amazing show and our wedding was no different! I was so impressed with all of the details they helped us bring together to craft the wedding of our dreams. It was a magical experience from beginning to end. They have a handful for preferred vendors you need to chose from for catering and entertainment, but honestly I found this made the vendor selection much less intimidating. The vendors are in a range of price points and our wedding coordinator at the Paramount walked us through that information. We met with the Paramount wedding coordinator periodically throughout the planning process. Those meetings helped us remain on track with the planning and reminded us of small details we may have forgotten. Planning can be stressful, but Emile-Margaret and everyone at the Paramount were so amazing. I highly recommend them.

    Thank you for these kind words! Our team loved getting to see the way you transformed your wedding into an ode to the theatre! From the custom-made posters, to the show ticket seating guides, and the Broadway-filled playlist, it was a day to remember! We wish you and Mandy a lifetime of love and happiness! --Emile-Margaret & Paramount's Meyer Ballroom :)
