VISIT Palais Royale's SITE
Palais Royale is one of those venues that doesn’t need much explaining once you see it.
Originally built in the 1920s, the space carries that classic ballroom feel with high ceilings, detailed architecture, and a layout that was made for big celebrations. It’s the kind of place where your wedding naturally feels like an event.
And being right downtown makes everything easier. Hotels, bars, and post-wedding plans are all within reach, which keeps the whole weekend feeling connected instead of spread out.

The Space
The Grand Ballroom
This is the centerpiece. A massive open space with ornate ceilings and plenty of room for a full reception setup. It handles large guest counts without feeling cramped and still keeps that elevated feel throughout the night.
Cocktail & Pre-Function Areas
Separate spaces allow for a natural transition into the reception. Guests can move, mingle, and ease into the night without everything happening all at once.
Downtown Surroundings
While not part of the venue itself, the surrounding streets, architecture, and nearby spots give you easy access to additional photo locations without needing to travel far.
