Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Truly timeless and genuinely iconic, this 1891 landmark sets the stage for history-making love stories to unfold. 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.
- 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 gleaming 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.
- The charming Carriage House is 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. Packages are flexible and designed to provide plenty of value, whether you opt for an intimate elopement, a simple all-day soiree, or a full buyout with lodging for 75 and a whole weekend of activities.
