Weddings

Yes! We have multiple spaces for all of your wedding day events including the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Depending on what best fits your needs, you can rent as many spaces as you want.

Standard weddings are allotted 6 hours for reception and an additional hour if your ceremony is on site. You are also allowed access to your venue 3 hours prior to your guests’ arrival. When you arrive at the start of your event, everything that Paramount Events provides will be set up, allowing you and your vendors time to prepare any additional items. Paramount Events will take care of room clean-up at the end of your event time. We are happy to remove anything you would like thrown away, but we kindly ask that you have your guests, decor, gifts, etc. removed by the end of your 6 hour reception time.

Yes! We would love the opportunity to show you the venues and discuss the details of your wedding. Tours available by appointment Monday through Friday, 10am-6pm; weekend and evening appointments available, too.

When you book your wedding at Paramount Events, we include all of your event essentials for no extra charge. All wedding reservations include: tables, chairs, tablecloths (black or white), setup & takedown of dining tables and chairs, 5 hour standard open bar package, two centerpiece options, day-of event coordinator, security guard, seasonal coat check, wedding party suite, and champagne toast for head table.

The Paramount Events staff will work with you and any of our 5 preferred caterers to find a lunch or dinner package that suits your wedding needs. All preferred caterers’ service includes: coffee service, linen napkins, china, water glasses, silverware, cake cutting and wait staff.

You are welcome to bring in any décor and decorations that you feel would enhance your theme. Paramount Events offers chair cover rentals or Chiavari chairs rental. There are two in-house centerpieces available at no additional charge. Please note that decorations that could damage any surface in the event spaces cannot be used.

Of course! You are allowed access to your venue 3 hours prior to your guests arriving. Should you feel you will need more than 3 hours to decorate, you have the option to purchase additional hours of decorating time. Additional hours may be purchased in 3-hour increments. When your load-in time begins, we will have all of your tables, chairs and linens set so the room will be ready for you and/or your vendors to decorate at that time.

We have one bar option:

• 5 hours of a Meyer Ballroom Bar Package with champagne toast for head table

The Paramount Events spaces are set up to accommodate a DJ or band. We will work with you to coordinate a location for a DJ table, band, speakers and any other necessary equipment (a podium and one wireless microphone are included in room rental fee).

We ask that all items, including items that you brought in, are removed at the end of your reception. In certain cases, exceptions can be made, but written approval must be granted at least 7 days prior to your event with the Paramount Events Manager. Paramount Events is not responsible for any items left overnight or not collected at the end of your reception.
