Paramount Theatre Events is excited to announce that the Meyer Ballroom & Grand Gallery has won its ninth consecutive The Knot Best of Weddings Award.
This accolade represents the top local wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples on The Knot. To determine the winners, The Knot assessed thousands of user reviews for 200,000+ wedding professionals within its Vendor Marketplace across various categories—planners, venues, officiants, musicians, DJs, florists, photographers, caterers, hair and makeup artists, and more—to find the top vendors of the year. These winners represent the top wedding professionals who best embody what matters to couples in their wedding planning journey.

Not only that, toggle over to the WeddingWire, where Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom & Grand Gallery just won its seventh Couples Choice Award, boasting a 4.9/5 “Excellent” score and a 98 percent “recommend it” approval rating based on 92 reviews.
Newer platform to the wedding market, Zola, a rising wedding planning site, has awarded Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom & Grand Gallery its third consecutive Best of Zola award, with 5 stars across the board from both couples and vendors alike.
“Every year when The Knot, WeddingWire, and Zola awards are announced, we are so gratified that so many couples and their families keep agreeing: Paramount’s Meyer Ballroom & Grand Gallery are the ideal venues in the Chicagoland area to say, 'I Do,’” said Jennifer Hahn, Special Events Director.
