Amazing venue for our special day. We had our wedding ceremony in the foyer of the venue which was stylish and accommodating for our large group of friends and family. The team was great and supportive. We would like to thank all the team members at Grand Star Receptions. Kind Regards, Jeshua and Ronny.

Hi I held my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration here at Grand star and from the time I walked in to discuss my function with the person in charge of front of house, I was very happy with the professionalism and what they offer to suit my budget, the food was awesome and not one of the invited guests that attended complained…I highly recommend that anyone has an event, wedding or a Birthday visit Grand star reception and you won’t be disappointed

Thank you to the team at Grand Star Receptions - especially to Kahli and Naresh! They provided good communications, very accommadating and reasonably priced compared to other places. Kahli was amazing to work with and very knowledgeable with recommendations for planning a wedding! She answered all our questions in detail and was able to assist us with great flexiblity and understanding with culturally diverse weddings. Their in-house DJ, MC and pyrotechnician, Harry, was astounding - given that we provided the run sheet late, he executed night perfectly! Also, Mel the supervisor for the reception was great, she provided support wherever was needed and made sure our night ran smoothly. We're so happy to have had our wedding there! With love, A&C
