The Signature Grand Testimonials:


"My brother had his wedding here and it was magnificent. As part of the bridal party we were ensconced in privacy prior to the service. This place is well organized and it ran smoothly. I have attended business functions here and a cocktail party and would have never known how many other events occur in the same building at the same time had I not been to a variety of them." - Z.G.
"I wouldn't hesitate to have any event at Signature Grand. I've had corporate events there when I managed a company, I've attended different meetings there, and I've been to several weddings. It's somewhat factory-like in how they get hundreds of people served at once, but it's also fascinating. They have it down to a fine science, and the service is efficient and the food delicious. The facility itself is magnificent, and I'm never disappointed to receive an invitation to a function at Signature Grand." - Lynn B.
