When it comes to parties, Paramount Theatre Events throws all kinds, from festive holiday parties to themed employee parties and epic family shindigs. Want to host a murder mystery dinner? Or perhaps you’d prefer a thrilling casino night or a classy Broadway themed evening? Over the years, we’ve facilitated many kinds of enjoyable and successful events, and we’d like to share our top 5 reasons why you should host a party with us.

1. What a great location!
Because the Paramount Theatre and Meyer Ballroom are situated along the Fox River, the views are spectacular. Located in Aurora, it’s an easy drive from Chicago and the airports for your out-of-town guests. Downtown Aurora offers plentiful and affordable parking and is close to a Metra train station and local hotels. All of that adds up to a convenient place to have a party.
2. The perfect venue for the occasion

With several event venues to choose from, Paramount Theatre Events has most party options covered. Whether you want to have a theatrical theme in the Grand Gallery, or prefer a classic gathering in the Meyer Ballroom, you can fit your party into the best environment to suit the theme or type of event. Our spaces are flexible and can be adapted to the size of the group and the needs of the occasion.

For example, a fundraising gala could be conducted in the modern North Island Center atrium, with the sit-down to dine portion of the evening taking place in Meyer Ballroom. Imagine a large family birthday party or anniversary celebration featuring dinner and a show, starting with a catered dinner and topping the night off with a show in the theater, thereby keeping the party in one central area, and eliminating the hassle of traveling from a restaurant to the theatre.

3. Great pricing

What sets us apart from other venues with our pricing is that we include all taxes and service charges. That means there is no 20%+ in added fees on what you are paying us.

If your event requires music or food, we’ve got options for you to choose from. And because we work with a whole group of dedicated caterers and dedicated entertainers, you will have a range of options to meet your needs and budget.

4. Amazing photo opportunities

With a ballroom that overlooks the picturesque Fox River and the stunning historical marquee of the Paramount Theatre, there simply are some stunning backdrops for every party. At the Paramount Theatre itself offers dramatic stairs, high ceilings, a fancy marquee, a grand entrance—meaning endless locations to take great pictures in. Hosting an event at Paramount is iconic. Once guests see your party/event name on the marquee for your event, they know it is going to be a top-notch occasion.

5. Excellent support team

As an award-winning 5-star venue known for its attention to detail and service, Paramount Theatre Events provides the perfect location and support for all your parties and private events. Our dedicated team is what consistently puts us above and beyond the competition, and what keeps the itinerary flowing from speaker to toast to dance party and back again.
