Where do I even start? The Galvez went above and beyond to accommodate my husband and I for our wedding. Especially with renovations going on throughout the hotel, they made sure us, our wedding party, as well as all of our guests were comfortable, and taken care of. Angela is amazing and answered every single one of my (anxiety-ridden) emails, and Kristen was extremely helpful too! The food was excellent, and we received many compliments from guests. Angela even left a hand-written card and left it in our room. Wonderful experience and highly recommended this hotel! Ask for Angela!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience using the Galvez as our wedding venue. The catering manager, Angela "Angie" Westhoff, was a joy to work with. She was always very responsive to our emails and was accommodating to every request we had, and she had great suggestions for things we didn't even think of.

The wedding contract included a night in the hotel on the night after the wedding, but we also booked the night before so we could have the rehearsal onsite and then stay over. We were given a top-floor suite, and there was a meat and cheese tray with a bottle of wine waiting for us with a nice welcome note. Made us feel very special!

On the day of the wedding, everything was set up just like we wanted. Our guest were all very complimentary about the food and bar service. And then, when we arrived back in our room after at the end of the night, a bottle of champagne and some chocolate covered strawberries were waiting for us with another note congratulating us.

The only slightly negative comments would be that we had requested some sparkling wine be made available for our guests during our champagne toast (which was provided complementary) for those who didn't want alcohol, and somehow that didn't get communicated to the wait staff. But, when we asked about it during the event, they made it happen. The other thing is that renovations were ongoing and a few of our guests had some issues with their rooms. But, I understand that things happen during renovations.

On the subject of the renovations, we were very apprehensive when we were told there would be renovations starting about a year before our wedding. However, Angie and the hotel manager made the time to meet with us in person and answer all of our questions and help put us at ease. They also gave us the option to cancel our contract.

At the wedding, the areas that had been renovated were absolutely gorgeous! They made for some fantastic photos. And the areas actively under renovation were covered relatively well. All-in-all, we had a fantastic experience, and we feel that we got a great value.

To be clear, we spent plenty of money. But, compared to other venues with on-site catering, we really did get a good deal. The food and beverage minimum was reasonable compared to other venues, the pricing of food and drink was reasonable, and there were very minimal charges for room use. Some venues charge a couple of thousand dollars as a "ceremony fee" to have the ceremony and reception both at the venue. The Galvez only charged one fee ($500) for room set-up for BOTH the ceremony and reception. Just a few other flat fees ($100 each) for bar tending and cake cutting. Almost all of the check for the wedding was the food and drink.

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding at the Grand Galvez on Saturday night. Everything was perfect from the planning process with Angela in Catering, to the venue, to the delicious food served. The hotel was under major renovation, but the hotel made it where it was not noticeable at all. We had the wedding outdoors at night in the Oleander Garden, and the reception in the Terrace Ballroom. I had guest give me rave reviews all night about the entire event. On Sunday, we had guest stay for the Grand Galvez wonderful Sunday brunch. What a great wedding weekend and wonderful wedding experience.

The Hotel Galvez went out of their way to make my wedding one of a kind. From the elegance of the hotel, to the food and service. They ensured the safety of their staff and our guest throughout the whole night. I got a million compliments on how delicious and thought out each food item and drink was.
Carrie and her team worked tirelessly to give me the perfect wedding, and that’s exactly what they gave us. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Miles, the general manager. He was understanding and gracious the whole way through our wedding planning. He cares about his guest and wants their special day to be just that: special.
Words cannot describe how each detail was thought out, so I will let the pictures speak. If you are thinking about having your wedding at the Hotel Galvez. Do it!

My first time actually staying the night at the hotel. Professional, punctual, kind people. Would love to do business with them again.

We wouldn’t have changed a thing about our wedding. We found the Galvez and didn’t look any farther. The price was perfect for our budget. We loved that all food, drinks, linens, tables, etc were all included. We had our ceremony in the Oleander Garden and our reception in the Terrace and Ballroom. The food, drinks and atmosphere were unparalleled. The guests especially loved the donut hole station. Our photos are so beautiful and timeless. We loved the ease of staying at the hotel for the weekend and our guests enjoyed celebrating all weekend around Galveston. Angela Westhoff was a pleasure to work with. Prompt to respond to any of my millions of questions and very accommodating to my last minute changes. Would recommend to anyone!

We had good time. My family were happy to see us getting wedding, we had late because my dress is fall out.

The venue was wonderful. Gina was awesome to work with. She was so accommodating, sweet and flexible. She was also very generous and kind. From the beginning to end she answered all my questions and concerns with warmth which eased a lot of my anxiety. The wedding was beautiful. The banquet manager was very accommodating and the staff were all professional. The food was AMAZING! I got many compliments about the food and drink (specifically the salmon! yum!). Even after our wedding was over the hotel made sure we felt special with a gift that expressed “congratulations”. Everything that the hotel presented looked top notch and service was great. My dream wedding came true at this venue! We are so happy to have had it at the Hotel Galvez.
