The
Grand Marquise Ballroom in Garner opened this month, October 2009. It is an elegant new venue for weddings, receptions and other events. It is conveniently located about 10 minutes off I-40 and in a quiet neighborhood. I had the great good fortune of attending a
Professional Wedding Guild (PWG) vendor networking luncheon there today, 10/28/09. The photographer for the event was Dajuan Jones and he has posted much better photos of this venue on
his blog. Go take a look. Thanks, Dajuan!
The owners of Anfesa's Jewelers who built this lovely venue thought of everything. It will accommodate up to 500 guests and has parking for over 300 people.
This is the view when you walk into the ballroom from the spacious arched foyer. The grand staircase makes a great backdrop for a wedding ceremony and a great entrance for the wedding party into the ballroom for the reception.
This is the view of the ballroom from the side of the stairway.
This beautiful monogram projected onto the dance floor can be customized for each wedding couple.
There are gorgeous chandeliers on the ceiling and mood lighting as well. Notice the different colors of the room when the lights are changed. The doors lead into the beautiful foyer entrance where wedding guests can assemble for cocktails after the wedding ceremony while the ballroom is being turned for the reception.
Let me tell you, the bathrooms are equally well appointed. The mosaic above is in the ladies room as well as huge mirrors and chandeliers in each compartment.

Meredith Matthews, one of the owners, was gracious in giving us a tour of the ballroom. There is a fully equipped kitchen for caterers for events. There are no dedicated caterers at this venue so brides can bring their own choice of caterer.
This lovely peacock mural is in the bridal suite which is upstairs. The furnishings are really plush and elegant.
Three way mirrors and all the amenities.
A sweet swan lamp graces the spacious vanity area.
I had to show you the fancy "throne" for the bride!
And the matching sink! Note the pretty mural on the wall.
This is Rev. Robin Renteria who is our speaker for today's luncheon. She spoke on "hot buttons" -- how they get triggered and what to do about them. It was a great talk! Thanks, Robin.
Two of my favorite DJ's, Ross Merle on the left, and Lenny Fritts on the right, flank our PWG hostess, Gail Galloway!
Gail again. I like this photo of you, Gail!
This is Joy Edwards of A Joyful Occasion, wedding planning, special events and travel.
Two popular photographers I enjoy working with: Jennifer Kidd on the left and Jennifer Aanerud on the right.
Catherine and Kyle help out at the registration desk.
Marilyn Wienand graces us with her heavenly harp music. Marilyn is terrific on the organ too.
We-Cook-4U catered our luncheon today. It was delicious, Alvin! Ashley Cakes provided the cupcake desserts and brought this beautiful cake to display.
