Client Testimonials
"We had my daughter's wedding and reception at The Grand Galvez. Simply, it was a Grand Event. Your staff, from the management department to the department, bartenders, servers, and helpers, made my daughter's once-in-a-lifetime event a great time to be remembered forever. The event happened without a hiccup, an issue, and most importantly, without stress. If you asked me for a recommendation to improve the experience, my only comment would be, "Don't change a thing." Observations that made a great day at The Grand Galvez; "professional (and full) staff, great food and plenty of it, now, that is an open bar, first-class accommodations," and all at the Queen of the Gulf. In the words of the late baseball Hall of Famer Casey Stengal, "Amazing!" I'm not sure if we were the first, but we had a great Conga line through the lobby. My daughter and her husband, my wife and I, and all our guests thank you for a well-done job.”
“We celebrated our daughter’s wedding at the Grand Galvez on Saturday night. Everything was perfect, from the planning process with the catering team to the venue to the delicious food served. We had the wedding outdoors at night in the Oleander Garden and the reception in the Terrace Ballroom. I had guests give me rave reviews all night about the entire event. On Sunday, we had guests stay for the Grand Galvez wonderful Sunday brunch. What a great wedding weekend and wonderful wedding experience.”
