About
The Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort has been revamped and modernized to become the boutique hotel you’ve been looking for! Emerged as an upscale tropical paradise, the beachfront resort allures you to the sandy white beaches and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico while offering discounted luxury at its finest.

With love in the air, The Grand Plaza Resort offers a variety of settings for your very own storybook wedding. With the assistance of our on-site wedding coordinators every detail of your dream beach wedding will be brought to life, creating an amazing experience for you and each of your guests. Whether barefoot in khakis or in the finest of formal wear, guests love the opportunity to participate in nuptials as the sun seemingly sizzles away, afterwards adjourning into one of several beautiful ballrooms.

The Imperial Ballroom, located only a few steps from the powdery white sands of St. Pete Beach, allows seating for up to 200 guests. Large arched French doors frame the perimeter; opening to an outdoor marble patio that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, this ballroom allows the beach atmosphere to flow into the room effortlessly. Perfect in setting the ambiance for a magical beach event!

The Presidential Ballroom sits on the 10th floor and Penthouse level of the resort. With floor to ceiling windows this ballroom offers the most amazing views of St. Pete Beach, capturing every color of the sun as it sets into the Gulf of Mexico. Seating up to 110 guests, draped in white curtains and furnished with enchanted chandeliers this ballroom creates a look of a fairy tale dream come true.

With the Destination Wedding becoming ever so popular our wedding packages offer couples the choice of mini ballrooms which seat up to 40 guests. Your choice of casual and tropical to small and elegant we are sure to have something for everyone. With many years of experience in hosting guests from near and far, the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort is 
making quite the SPLASH!

One of the most beautiful venues for a Florida Beach Wedding. Highly recommended!! I shot my very first wedding here and it was spectacular! Very organized and the event planners are great to work with.
I love photographing weddings at the Grand Plaza Resort. The coordinators do a beautiful job planning their events and are ever so accommodating. There are many photo opportunities both inside and out. I would recommend the Grand Plaza to anyone who is looking to have their event at the beach.
A great location for beach weddings and receptions...... They offer Palm tree lined aisles for the wedding ceremony along with several styles of Bamquet rooms for your reception.... Very well kept hotel.... Lobby is well kept and decor is modern....... Do not hesitate to host your destination wedding here..... You will not be disappointed.....
One of the better staffs on St. Pete Beach, the Grand Plaza always goes the extra step to ensure wedding success. To top it off, their North and South beach options are a must-see for any St. Pete beach wedding! Always a pleasure, and Cherish is easy to work with! Candis Yeager, Owner Dream Weavers Events
The Grand Plaza has become one of my favorite beach venues. If the beautiful sand, water, and sea oats weren't enough, the surrounding property and the ballrooms are just stunning. On top of all of that, the staff is on point, organized, and just wonderful to work with.
This is my favorite venue and I have photographed more weddings here than anywhere else! It is a photographer's dream and there are panoramic beach views from every ballroom. In fact, this picture was taken there as were many others in my portfolio. The staff is very friendly and accomodating and the food is excellent. What more could you ask for? I hope to do many more weddings here!
I have had the opportunity to do several wedding at The Grand Plaza. I love the view from the Presidential Ballroom. The staff and grounds are lovely. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a window with a view. I like the Old St. Pete Beach feel that this hotel gives you. You kind of get nostalgic when you enter. I look forward to doing more with The Grand Plaza.
