The Grand Ballroom

Writing this from the perspective of attending a wedding here...And from my vantage point, The Grand Ballroom is a lovely venue. A staff member was waiting for guests when they walked in to hand them tickets to validate parking so we could park in the nearby garage for free. The ballroom where the wedding was held had tall windows that let in a lot of light. It felt a bit historic, with large chandeliers, but also enough of an elegantly-appointed blank slate where you could do what you want with decorations and it wouldn't clash. After the ceremony, everyone went up a floor to the balcony that overlooks the ballroom for cocktail hour, while the ballroom was flipped for dinner. The servers were friendly with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and the staff in the ballroom pulled out the tables, which had been pre-set and waiting on the side of the ballroom. While anyone could see them setting up from the balcony, this did not cause any loud noises or interruptions. And then we headed back down for dinner, which was a mix of chicken and steak, I believe. It was delicious. Overall this venue was perfect for this wedding of less than 100 people -- the setting for a beautiful night.

Just attended a wedding reception/dinner at this venue. It was on the fifth floor, and they had the option of a (medium-sized) elevator or the stairs. In heels, of course, we took the elevator! There was a ballroom greeter outside who directed us to the correct floor, gave us options to get there, and also gave us a complimentary parking ticket since we parked in the garage across the street. The ballroom was beautiful- high beamed ceilings, just right for the 200ish guests. There was a single bar, and the bartenders were upbeat, efficient, and friendly throughout the evening. There was a nice hardwood dance floor in the center, and the dinner was buffet style. LOVED the last prime rib carving station at the end. The person cutting and serving it was attentive to our preferences. This was a challenge because some peeps wanted well-done and I wanted medium-rare. He cut the meat to order :o) and was cheerful to all requests. Servers for the salads were efficient too. Overall, we had a very nice experience at this venue!

Great space for about 100. Tall ceilings with nice chandeliers. Tall windows in historic building. (I really love the building)The meal we had wasn't the best, but I've ate at several of the other McHale's Venues and it's usually really good. So I'm thinking it was just me. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their salad, chicken & veggies.We parked in a garage close by since street parking is usually difficult for big events.

A nice wedding venue. I agree with another reviewer that it's best suited to a smaller wedding. They had plenty of bars set up all throughout the two floors, which I thought was nice. Our group used the balcony area as the cocktail hour and photo booth area, and that worked really well. The food wasn't so great. The main room had really nice big windows, which were covered the whole time, but I think it would've been cool to be able to see out of them, although I'm not sure what the view is like.I don't think I've been to any other McHale's venues, but this is a nice option and was close to the Covington bars where we went out after the reception was over.

One of many nice banquet venues around northern KY.The staff is great.Food is good.Prices are competitive.

This is a lovely space for a smaller wedding- I love historic buildings! The huge windows are gorgeous and there is an upper balcony overlooking the ballroom that was great for drinks and hors d'ouvres before the reception. There was garage parking and vouchers for the wedding we attended, so parking was easy. We had the buffet style food, which was okay.

We had a wonderful experience with The Grand by McHale's Events and Catering. I can't thank them enough!! They were very flexible and easy to work with and allowed us to have our ceremony indoors as a backup plan to our original outdoor venue. Thank you!!

I had my wedding reception at the Grand Ballroom on 10/3/15. I would recommend McHale's team and venues to anyone that is looking to host any sort of reception. Brent, our coordinator, was very accommodating and awesome when it come to follow ups in the months leading up to our wedding. Bobby, who was the rep we worked with the day of the wedding was also very in tune with everything going on and helped in making our night amazing. Food was amazing as well! 5 stars
