Planning a smaller wedding should feel simpler, not more confusing. Here are the questions couples ask most often before they talk with our wedding consultant.
Is Grand Entrance a traditional wedding venue alternative?
Yes. Grand Entrance gives couples the feeling of a traditional wedding day—the aisle, loved ones, a heartfelt ceremony, photography, and video—without the cost, stress, or complexity of a large traditional venue.

The Grand Entrance Experience includes calm, personal wedding ceremony guidance. Chaplain Scott helps couples create a heartfelt ceremony, with spiritual elements when desired.
Does Grand Entrance include photography and video?
Yes. Photography and video memories are central to the Grand Entrance Experience. Couples should confirm the current coverage details with the Wedding Consultant.
