Photo By: Kay Warner Photo

The Maki Ballroom has been a popular wedding venue for several years. A group of local vendors orchestrated this shoot to showcase the reveal of the renewal of the historical ballroom presented by the Grand. Touching on the roots of inspiration from the space famous for weddings of those like Muhammad Ali and Ronald Reagan, while incorporating an uplifting atmosphere of renewal and color,  spring and growth. The Venue offers an wonderful indoor venue for ceremonies in the old court house and a large reception space for up to 200 guests. A lovely bridal room and refurbished bar add to the renewed bright space while preserving roots dating back to the mid 1700’s.
