From the reviews

Our son's and daughter in-laws wedding reception was in March and the entire experience was absolutely 100% first rate. The facility was roomy, well-lit, and very clean. The food was outstanding, only to be outdone by the service staff. They were quick to serve and extremely friendly. An all around memorable night!.

The Palazzo hosted my June 2021 wedding. Planning during the uncertainty of COVID was stressful - but Melanie always was willing to answer any questions I had and be flexible given the situation.

The decor is a feast for the eyes, featuring a striking combination of dark marble and decadent crystal chandeliers. Truly an exceptional venue that will leave you feeling like royalty.

★★★★★ — Aaron, Nov 2024

We hosted our kids’ baptism celebration at Grand Palazzo and it was absolutely wonderful. Gimi, the owner, was very welcoming, professional, and attentive to every detail. He made the whole process easy and stress-free. The hall is stunning, spacious, and perfectly set up for family events.

Getting married at The Palazzo Grande

A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — The Palazzo Grande doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
