The Grand Ballarat was absolutely wonderful and so beautiful. We loved the venue. We were also so grateful they allowed us to have our wedding days before due to a looming lockdown.

My Wife and I were lucky enough to have our Wedding here on Saturday 13th November and what an Amazing Choice… Sean, Kellie and all the staff have been brilliant., so easy to deal with and the night could not have turned out better…. The food was by far the best I have had was just a pity we missed the Canapés as I heard they were something special as well, not an empty plate went back…. If anyone was considering the Grand for any function I would Highly Recommend as I/we could not fault anything…. Thank you for helping us make our Wedding Day Amazing we will be forever grateful ❤️
