The property
Two dedicated event spaces within the Paramount Theatre complex: the Meyer Ballroom is a modern ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and riverfront views, while the Grand Gallery is a historic two-level event space housed in the original Paramount Theatre building built in 1931.
The Meyer Ballroom features a modern, elegant aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling windows, geometric glass atrium ceiling, clean white linens, mirror centerpieces, and soft ambient lighting.
The Grand Gallery showcases the historic art deco Venetian influence of the 1931 Paramount Theatre with ornate architectural details, warm wood tones, vintage ticket booth elements, and classic theater marquee styling. Both spaces offer refined formal dining setups with gold-toned chairs and tasteful centerpieces.
The setting
The Meyer Ballroom offers floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Fox River and downtown Aurora riverfront. The Outdoor Plaza ceremony space provides views of the Fox River, downtown riverwalk, and cityscape. The venue is located in the heart of downtown Aurora near the North Island Center.
