Revenue model

1. Event Venue Rental and Full-Service Catering: The Grand Marquis generates revenue through all-inclusive event packages that combine venue rental with full catering services. Packages include ballroom access, butler-passed hors d'oeuvres, hot and cold food stations, premium open bar, tableside entree service with four entree choices, dessert options, wedding cake, stemware, linens, tables, chairs, professional staffing, event coordination, and valet parking. The venue accommodates a range of events including weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteens, quinceañeras, corporate events, proms, and general celebrations.
2. Cultural and Outside Catering Services: For cultural events requiring specific cuisine traditions (such as kosher, Indian, or other cultural catering), Grand Marquis welcomes outside licensed and insured caterers while providing the venue, premium open bar, professional staff, and event amenities. This provides flexibility for families with specific cultural or religious catering requirements.
