The three-story Grand River Center provides breath-taking views of the Mississippi River and the Tri-State area. The center features an 86,000 square foot conference and meeting facility which includes a 30,000 square foot exhibit hall, a 12,000 square foot ballroom and six meeting rooms. On the third floor, the River Room is an all-glass enclosure with a balcony jutting over the Riverwalk, which allows the sensation of floating over the river.
The Grand River Center opened in November 2003 and was the final phase of Dubuque’s America’s River Project. The center sits on the bank of the Mississippi River next to the Grand Harbor Resort and the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

With several unique ceremony/reception locations, you're sure to find one perfectly tailored for your day. The Grand River Center has intimate locations like the River Room, or have groups up to 1000 guests in the Exhibit Hall.

THE PERFECT VENUE

It's the day of your wedding and sunlight is streaming across the water along the Riverwalk while you get ready for your big day.
