Wilshire Grand

Hotel Sophistication, Ballroom Grandeur

The Wilshire Grand Hotel is a full-service wedding venue in West Orange, Essex County, offering multiple elegant event spaces including the Grand Ballroom, the Tuscany Ballroom, and the modern Loft at 350. Each space has its own distinct character - from the Grand Ballroom's classic elegance to the Loft's contemporary, industrial-chic aesthetic - giving couples the flexibility to choose the perfect setting for their celebration. The hotel's on-site accommodations make it ideal for wedding weekends, with guests able to stay just steps from the celebration. The Wilshire Grand's catering team is known for creative, high-quality cuisine with customizable menus that span a range of cuisines and styles. The venue's central Essex County location makes it accessible from all parts of northern New Jersey, and the experienced event team ensures seamless coordination from the first planning meeting through the last dance.

Each of the Wilshire Grand's three event spaces — the Grand Ballroom, the Tuscany Ballroom, and the Loft at 350 — has its own personality and its own acoustic profile, and we adjust our entire production package depending on which room is hosting the celebration. The Grand Ballroom's classic high ceilings ask for a layered uplighting design and a balanced mix that fills the space without overwhelming guests at the head table. The Loft at 350's industrial-chic concrete and exposed steel demand a tighter, more focused PA paired with more directional dance-floor lighting. Years of working across all three rooms mean our crew arrives knowing exactly which setup template applies, which staging doors load in cleanest, and which Wilshire banquet captain is running the night.
