Jaki was amazing

We were married at Grand Affairs, and the experience was everything. Our coordinator Jaki was great. She took care of our every need. Nicole our MOC was there to make sure the wedding day was perfect. The food was delicious. Chef Louise's food was favorable, and all the guests were raving about it.

Loved our experience with Grand Affairs Catering

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience with Grand Affairs. Jaki and her team ensured our wedding reception was special and welcoming and full of love. It was seamless, the staff was exceptional, and the venue itself is beautiful and timeless. Even with our limited budget, the value of our experience exceeded our expectations due to their attention to detail and tremendous care.

Above and beyond

Where do I even start? ❤️
From the very first day my husband and I went to inquire about having our wedding ceremony at Grand Affairs on Pleasure House Road in Virginia Beach, it felt like we were walking into our own home. The hospitality was absolutely amazing!
Ms. Jaki is truly an angel sent from Heaven. She takes so much pride in her work, and I loved her from day one. She never let me down—not one time! She and her team explained everything to us from front to back and made sure we understood every detail along the way.
Most importantly, everything was beautiful, affordable, and absolutely worth it! We honestly could not have asked for anything more.
The entire staff was on point, especially when it came to making all the arrangements, scheduling our appointments, coordinating our rehearsal, and decorating both the ceremony and reception spaces. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism.
I was so pleased with the experience because I never felt like we were just customers or guests. I truly felt like we were part of the family. ❤️
Ms. Jaki even went above and beyond by rearranging my wedding cake when it arrived in the wrong color. That meant so much to both me and my husband. It was those little things that showed us just how much she genuinely cared about making our special day perfect.
I do not regret booking Grand Affairs one bit! Our wedding day was beautiful, unforgettable, and everything we dreamed it would be. I would gladly recommend Grand Affairs to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, amazing hospitality, and a team that truly cares about their clients.
Thank you, Ms. Jaki, and the entire Grand Affairs team, for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable. We truly appreciate you all! ❤️💜
And I can't wait to have another event there! 🥰🎉

Grand Affairs has everything

I was very happy with the entire package. Jaki is amazing!
Venue is a one stop turnkey operation. Wait staff, bartender and MOC were all wonderful. Highly recommend Back Door Productions for the DJ, Adam and Valerie were so good, kept the party going and very funny. The food was very good, beautifully presented and exactly what we ordered. Would also encourage couples to attend the Open Hose if possible. All around a nice event venue for any occasion. Our wedding was perfect, ceremony at the onsite chapel and right across the hall the reception very convenient. The guests were happy, plenty of parking and easily accessible. Glad I chose this among the many options out there; I would say it could be the reason GA has been around so long!

Wedding reception

We had an absolutely AMAZING experience hosting our wedding reception at Grand Affairs! From the moment we began planning, the entire experience was nothing short of wonderful. Our reception was beautiful, elegant, and truly everything we hoped it would be.

I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Jaki! She was an absolute genius and such a tremendous help throughout the entire process. Jaki was knowledgeable, attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together perfectly. Anytime I had a question, concern, or needed help figuring something out, she was there to help. Her attention to detail and ability to make things happen made such a difference, and I truly don't know what I would have done without her!

The staff at Grand Affairs was incredibly professional, attentive, and accommodating. On our special day, we were able to relax and actually enjoy ourselves because we knew everything was being handled.

The venue itself was beautiful and provided the perfect atmosphere for our intimate wedding celebration. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the space and overall experience.

Grand Affairs truly helped make our wedding reception memorable, and we are so grateful to everyone who played a part in making our day so special. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team that genuinely cares about your special day, I HIGHLY recommend Grand Affairs!

Thank you, Grand Affairs, and especially Jaki, for helping make our wedding celebration everything we dreamed it would be!

An Amazing wedding experience with an amazing budget and Coordinator!

Grand Affairs truly made my dream come true for my big day! My family has worked with the venue for multiple occasions, but this was my first wedding experience. I was not disappointed at all, and Ms. Jaki is the best person ever to plan your wedding. She is attentive, observant, and extremely creative! She also treats you like family and deserves her flowers. I would recommend this venue to anyone, especially if you love great food and fellowship.
