Signature Grand

I remember first attending Signature Grand in 1999 for an Amex holiday party. It was new back then, beautiful, and able to accommodate tons of people. I attended a few more events there in the early 2000s but I have not been there in probably a decade. While clean and somewhat pretty it’s dated pretty. Like my fellow Unilocaler Andy V. pointed out, it has a parlor from Clue vibe. The chandeliers are blingy and gorgeous but with no windows, dated wallpaper and wall sconces it seems a bit drab.
The pros:
Ample free parking
Can accommodate a large amount of people
Cons:
Named above

My company recently held their holiday party here at the Signature Grand and it was pretty ok.
The first thing I noticed was that the outside of the building looked like a building you’d see in some port town when you got off of a cruise. I anticipated seeing a man trying to sell my $ 20 photographs with myself and a monkey.
When I walked inside through the building I felt like someone was going to paint me like one of those French girls a la Rose and Jack from the Titanic. It was so dark and dated. Like fancy nice, but not relevant nice. I was really torn, is this place beautiful or is this place completely out of touch with style?
Inside the banquet halls were pretty much like the hallways. Any moment now Ms. Scarlet would walk in with the wrench, eagerly ready to murder Mr. Boddy in Clue. There were no windows, making it even darker than normal.
The staff was pleasant, but not overly thrilled with being there. Their uniforms needed sprucing, but it’s not their fault per say.
The food was alright. The pasta tasted like I made it, which isn’t a plus. It was mushed together which I thought was weird; almost as if it had set overnight then served. The chicken was delicious and the salmon was dry.
The had a gorgeous tree up for the holidays. That definitely was a plus.
I’m not sure if we will have another event there. If we do, of course I’ll go. Would I ever have an event here, no way. I wouldn’t call this place Grand, but it’s more like, eh it’s ok.

There pastries are fresh and delicious. The staff is always courteous and accommodating. Meals there are typically above average banquet food. Accommodations for functions, conferences and meetings are comfortable.
Bathrooms are kept clean.
Always a pleasant experience.

The place is absolutely gorgeous, I went to a wedding this past Friday octo at 16 and my god very simple and elegant at the same time…
The food was amazing, the service was great, the table setting right on target… the bathrooms were a clean, everything was right on target.
I was very pleased… I’ve been to a few weddings and quince this year between. Gables and hialeah but these have been total dissappointment in fact the décor in most of these places are already outdated and TACKY.
Niceeee job and 5 stars for signature grand

Second time attending this place connected with a work function. The food was good and the servers were very attentive. Most of the items served were more like appetizers i.e. chicken wings, egg rolls, dumplings, coconut shrimp etc.
I did attend a dinner last year and the food was good, but no enough for me to give them a 4 or 5.

Came here for an end-​of-​the-​school year event. The ballroom we were in was spacious with a nice dance floor and enough room to walk between tables. The servers were very courteous, but the food and drinks were sub-​par, although the desserts were quite tasty (might have been a little too sweet). The area when you first walk in past the front desk is a good place for pictures — there’s a fountain with a chandelier overhead and a fancy-​ish staircase. Overall, it served it’s purpose as a venue, but there wasn’t anything «wow» about it.

We were looking for a venue for our wedding reception and after visiting a couple of places, we came across Signature Grand and we were greeted with nothing by professionalism and courtesy. Our Coordinator Maria Cavanaugh was sweet, kind, understanding and most of all professional. We cant Thank her and the Signature Grand staff enough for making our special day memorable and amazing. We would highly recommend any event to be done here.

Please, please, please do not go here. First off let me just say I really hate writing bad reviews as I know what this can do for businesses. But after several attempts to get a manager to address certain issues and was blown off I feel I have no choice. I attended an event for my daughter’s school. We arrived around 6:30 pm. There were salads waiting for us at the table which was seated for ten, of which 4 were children. Two baskets of bread were on the table and two small bowls of butter. Now normally wouldn’t be a big deal. After everyone had eaten their salads and all the bread, we were listening to the speeches. While there were still servers in the room we had twice asked for more bread for the kids and nothing happened except a nod. I also asked for honey for my tea and was told that there was no honey. So after 45 minutes of no bread one of the guests at the table had to go to another table and ask if they wanted their bread. They kindly offered and we had bread. The servers were hit and miss about clearing the table. Water was not a guarantee to be filled up. And after they had cleared the dressing, there was still one person with a salad. Again we looked to see if there were servers. At this point they had been asked to be dismissed by the party who was holding the event at this time. You still however could not find one single person to get you anything. We still were waiting for the dinner rolls promised now some 2 hours ago. So the guest went again and took some dressing off of the server trays. I had asked to speak to a manager and was blown off twice. I was trying to resolve the matter versus write a Unilocal review. I finally did get a manager and spoke with him. We finally at 9 pm received the bread, hot water, and honey we asked for. :(Also there are no real vegan options, no gluten free options, and the vegetarian was just pasta and veggies thrown on top with Parmesan cheese. People also were not told either that there were choices. Overall for the price that was paid I would never book an event there and we went home with tummy aches :(.

I’ve been to many events here and just had our wedding here last week. It’s a beautiful venue, inside and out. The staff was pretty good about meeting our needs and requests. All of our guests loved it and enjoyed themselves. Would definitely recommend and use this venue again

Ducked in for another Davie Cooper City Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting.
Nice space, great for meetings. Good service. Appropriate food.
Nice chandeliers.

We attended a work event here for the Women in Distress 40^th Anniversary and it was beautiful! There were also a couple of weddings going on that night in different rooms but this venue is definitely large enough that we didn’t even notice others until we went to the bathroom which was very well maintained and clean! Nice large event rooms with bar nooks and plenty of room for guest. Our room was decorated very elegantly and definitely impressed! We had over 100 attendees, a stage, dance floor, projector, and dining tables that sat everyone for our dinner! The food was surprisingly very good and the teamwork of the staff had everyone served and happy! There are grand chandeliers all over this venue and the décor is upscale! They have valet parking or you can park yourself in their large parking lot. We had an amazing event here and a fantastic night! I would definitely recommend this venue for your event!

After weeks of searching for venues to hold my wife’s 40^th birthday, most of which didn’t even bother to return my calls or emails, I ended up at the doors of Signature Grand
From the get-​go, Lili was a tremendous help. I have never organized a party and I described my wife’s taste and Lili got to work with recommendations and honest help. What I liked most is that Lili didn’t attempt to sell me anything I didn’t need, she understood I was on a budget and worked with me.
The day of the party came and the staff was absolutely amazing. They coordinated well with the DJ, the food was delicious and the bartender kept serving up delicious drinks with a smile.
My wife spent the next day thanking me for an amazing party. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I recently chaperoned my school’s prom here. I am not sure if I would hold my wedding here, but it was a good prom venue and I am sure would be great for other corporate evening events.
The food was fairly good– we enjoyed the salad, meatball, French fries and pasta (yes, the student’s selected the menu).
The staff was polite, well dressed and spoke English reasonably well. The ballroom, lounge and restroom areas were all well cleaned and kept neat throughout the evening. The event space was on par with event space at some of the major convention hotels in Orlando… The Peabody and Disney’s Swan & Dolphin. I think it is a step above the Radisson Mart in Miami.
Overall, exceeded my expectations on décor, cleanliness and service. I have no idea about price or booking.

More like Signature Bland.
Came here for a company event and was not impressed. The décor was various shades of brown and tan. Nothing seemed to stand out, not even the oversized chandeliers. The seats were not comfy. The pinnacle of the breakfast was oatmeal with about as much flavor and texture as wet cardboard. At least the fruit on the table seemed fresh. Glad we had lunch catered from elsewhere.
BOTTOM LINE: Big, but bland.

This place has obviously seen better days. Went to a wedding reception there. Bartender was rude. Food was fair. A/​C must’ve been set to 80 because it was sweltering. First and last time I will be there.

Just recently had my daughter’s Bat-​Mitzvah here and this place really knows how to treat a customer. First class service all the way, incredible atmosphere, and surprisingly reasonable prices. If you are looking for a place to throw a party like this I seriously recommend you check out the Signature Grand. It was the last place of many I went to for estimates and turned out to be the best. Who would have thought such a nice place would outdo the rest in price?

I had my high school graduation at this venue a very long time ago, but i still remember it as vividly as the feeling of burning flesh when I set my hand on fire for the first time. I guess you can say that the experience of this place traumatized me. To put it simply, this place looks like a mausoleum — it looks like a place of death. I know that I am of the minority opinion among my friends and family, but I can’t be the only one people, c’mon! Every time I drive by this place my thoughts turn to cemeteries and dusty drapes. mausoleum. avoid… unless you are blind, like my friends and family.

I looked at this place to host my wedding reception, and boy, this place has changed a lot since i was there last in 2002. What was once a nice elegant place is now a smelly old place. It may come out nice in pictures, but in actuality this place is a disaster! The staff is beyond rude (ESP the irani guy), and think they are up to par as the diplomat on the water. Oh please! Beat decision I made was to never come back here. Save yourself the hassle, money, and time — and skip this place!!!

I love this facility and would love to one day have a birthday party here. It is elegant, the food I have tried in different occasions was great. I have even been to their Bridal show which I love to go almost every year at least one because of the good food and different vendor deals.

The Signature Grand is a palatial event center. It has a half dozen rooms that can accommodate wedding receptions and parties, big and small. The lobby’s décor is tasteful and its upkeep is excellent. With its variety of ballrooms, Signature Grand reminds me of a hotel’s meeting area, except that it dispenses with business meetings and focuses on celebrations.
I went to a wedding reception in the main ballroom. There were about 250 guests, but at least 50 more could have fit. As far as I could tell, service duties were divided between a caterer and the Signature Grand’s own staff. SG’s servers did a fine job circulating hors d’oeuvres and refilling water. The bartenders, who staffed the ballroom’s two bars, made strong drinks. (Tip to the under-​21 crowd: they don’t card minors. A few youngsters from other parties crashed the reception and sheepishly ordered drinks.) I walked around to the other ballrooms and thought those spaces were fine for events with fewer than 100 people.
For it’s stellar service, good location off the highway and superb ambience, I highly recommend The Signature Grand.
