The Mirage Experience
Grand Ballrooms Built for Grand Celebrations
But scale alone does not define The Mirage experience. Our ballrooms are fully modular, meaning they can be configured to perfectly suit your guest count, your floor plan, and your vision. Whether you are planning an intimate reception of 100 or a grand gala for 800, every layout is designed with the couple at the center, every detail considered, every sight line intentional.
Crystal chandeliers catch the light above polished marble floors. The room holds the weight of the occasion the way only a truly grand space can. And when she walks in for the first time as a married woman, the room will take her breath away.
Culinary Excellence Worthy of the Occasion
From elegant plated dinners with entrées including Filet Mignon, Beef Short Rib, Miso and Mango Glazed Salmon, and Shrimp and Scallop Newburg, to lavish grand buffets with live carving stations and interactive culinary experiences, our catering is designed to match the tone, scale, and spirit of your celebration.
And for couples who require authentic cultural cuisine, traditional family recipes, or specific dishes that carry meaning beyond the plate, The Mirage offers outside catering privileges. Your family’s trusted caterer can bring those flavors directly to our professional kitchen, so the food at your wedding is as meaningful as every other detail of the day.
