Overall, GVR is an amazing wedding venue. Firstly, the property is stunning and makes for a very good pictorial opportunity for plenty of different wedding photos all in one location. Wedding was April 2022 on a Monday evening and it was literally perfect, down to the timeline. BEOs and emails were detailed and followed up on promptly. Majority of our communication was through Hava, London, and then Andrea over the year. Andrea was the behind-the-scenes hero of our wedding day, as was our wedding day-of-coordinator Kailey with Scheme Events. The day went so smoothly, everything was on time, and well-coordinated with our vendors. Andrea is super sweet and we really enjoyed communicating with her. We must also appreciate that GVR is very flexible with their space and catering. Do however, carefully read through contracts and review itemized calculations; beware of taxes and service fees that will increase end total.

Piazza Grand staircase for the ceremony makes for epic wedding photos, cocktail hour on the Opium Terrace was flawless and Instagram worthy. Our photographers had the best time shooting photos at this venue. Poolside café for the reception was refreshing to have an open yet covered space when dancing all night (the plentiful palm tree lights in the backyard space at night---AMAZING). Not only did guests comment on the venue space, but raved the most about the FOOD—best wedding food anyone has had! Cocktail hour lambchops were the most talked about. Buffet Dinner- kale/quinoa, pasta salads, lobster bisque, plenty of sides were just as delicious as the entrees of sea bass (most talked about also), chicken surprisingly, and steak. Our wedding cake was beautifully tall as requested. Service was also amazing, and many of our guests commented how well they were taken care of during cocktail hour, dinner and open bar service. Overall, GVR provides a great wedding experience with their property, food and excellent customer service on the coordination and catering dept. We received many compliments from family, friends, vendors and random hotel guests. Thank you so much GVR for a wonderful experience!

It was better than we planned.

Andrea and the team at GVR made planning our wedding an easy and more importantly, a fun experience. After every meeting or call with Andrea, any stress we were feeling was immediately replaced with happiness. There was not a reasonable request that we could come up with that they could not make happy. Deciding to have our wedding at GVR was one of our best decisions. Thank you for an amazing day.
