Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Small weddings meet big history at this iconic 1891 landmark. Sitting right on Route 66 in Williams, the venue holds two genuine titles: Arizona's oldest hotel and home to the state's very first ballroom, now thoughtfully restored with its maple wood floors and vintage character intact. Intimate destination weddings are a perfect fit, with a prime location near the Grand Canyon, lodging for your entire guest list, and a setting perfect for legacy-making love stories.
- The Grand Canyon Ballroom has been a beloved gathering space since the hotel opened, serving as social hub for travelers and locals to come together. The stunning hammered metal ceilings have a warm gold patina and are adorned with large, glittering chandeliers and matching sconces. Even the in-house furnishings evoke a classically elegant past—gold Chiavari chairs, crisp white linens, and premium china elevate every celebration.
- Whether you're looking for an intimate elopement, all-day soiree, or full destination weekend with accommodations for 75, all the packages are flexible and designed to provide plenty of value. You'll love having the charming Carriage House as your home base for the weekend, transformed from its original use as a place to house guest carriages into a lovely standalone cottage nestled just behind the hotel.
