cannot recommend more

We had the best experience with the Opal. The service was OUTSTANDING. The food was so delicious and the planner, Katy, was unreal. She was so calm and helpful during the whole process. It was my favorite day and planning was so easy with them.

The most perfect wedding

First of all, the service you experience with Ana Gonzalez at the head of your event coordination is phenomenal. She is always quick to respond. Second, the food & drink at the resort is unmatched - which is at the TOP of my list when hosting an event as important as your wedding. Third, the staff is so professional and kind to your guests. Our bartender, Robin, was the coolest, most fun and perfect person for the job. I have zero complaints about hosting my wedding at the Opal Grand in Delray Beach. 12/10 recommend!!

Luxury and high class with EXCEPTIONAL service in every regard!

I had my wedding at the Opal Grand on Saturday, October 21, 2023 and I do not have enough space here to write all the details of how absolutely phenomenal it was. The food was outrageous, filet cooked to perfection with colossal grilled shrimp. Cocktail hour had more food and drinks than I have ever seen at any other wedding. The outside ceremony was breathtaking and Kelly, the wedding coordinator for the Opal was behind me fixing my dress as I walked down the aisle. The reception all was so beautiful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and everything was done to perfect. And I cannot forget to mention the relaxing day after at the pool. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding but also for dinner at Driftwood, or Pina coladas by the pool on a Sunday. Kelly and Gianna were amazing throughout the entire process. I’ve been to weddings at the Ritz and other very fancy venues and the Opal blows every other venue out of the water. THANK YOU for making my wedding the absolute BEST.

It made my whole trip unforgettable!

If you are planning to have wedding here, you will not regret it. Not only are all the employees friendly and amazing, so were the owners. They booked us the best villa for an amazing price, helped us pick the most AMAZING VENDORS! I honestly wish I could have stayed friends with them all. Because of how great they did with my wedding and guests, we have decided to make this our vacation spot forever. Thank you Opal, for giving me the best memories ever. God bless you and all your employees.

Fantastic Wedding Venue!

My husband and I had our destination wedding at the Opal Grand in March and our experience was wonderful. The space is beautiful, newly-renovated and conveniently located next to the beach and action on Atlantic Ave. The staff was professional and their execution was smooth and seamless. Highly recommend working with Ana as your event manager - she was friendly, communicative and went above and beyond to fulfill all of our wedding requests. If you are an out of town bride, you are in good hands with the Opal!

Wedding at Delray Beach Marriott

Everything about this venue was amazing! All of the staff we worked with were extremely professional and more than willing to accommodate our requests. Our event manager, Brittnee, was amazing to work with and is very good at her job. She is patient, informative, and always had a positive attitude! The food was great, and the entire day was seamless. So glad I chose to get married at the Delray Beach Marriott!

High end wedding AND a great value

Magazine worthy wedding held here on June 14th, 2019! We held our wedding here with 122 guests, 39 musicians and 17 support staff on a Friday evening. Because we are Catholic, the ceremony was held at the nearby Ascension Catholic Church followed by a black tie reception opening up all of the largest ballrooms to accommodate the 9 piece band and lounge furniture. As soon as we had our first meeting with the on-site wedding planner Brittnee McGrath, we knew we had found THE place. Although we live in Delray Beach, it was a destination for many of our guests so the appeal of the ocean front and resort atmosphere made it an easy decision for our guests coming from Boston, Chicago, and Arizona. She is beyond professional and had a sensible answer for my many questions. She explained how a duet plate makes it easier on the bride and groom (we also had an excellent outside wedding planner as well before we had even met Brittnee, but she made herself available for everything having to do with the hotel it might not even have been necessary). Also, the catering staff was surprisingly accommodating. My husband and I are huge foodies and they allowed us to forgo salad (boring) and I provided them with a vichyssoise recipe comprised of a chilled cucumber, melon and mint soup- perfect for a warm June day. Additionally, since we had an evening of open bar, they permitted me to also provide a beautiful "mocktail" recipe of lavender lemonade that complemented our color scheme so that our guests could have something non-alcoholic and refreshing before a night of food, dancing, and libations. We also opted for the guacamole station before the white glove plated dinner and 3 months after the wedding, I am STILL receiving complements about how outstanding all the food was. I thought that since it was a Marriott and we were using a few vendors not on their suggested list that we would be penalized, when in fact we simply had to provide the requisite insurance certificates. Brittnee's experience also aided us in making great economical choices as far as the floral selections went. With such a big space, she suggested alternating high and low floral arrangements to add grandeur and volume to the space. Perhaps the best part of the entire experience is the grand tasting where you can see, taste, and take part in a mock wedding. This is not tot bee missed and really helps you nail down your food selection choices. Another element to our wedding included a flag ceremony (it was Flag day and my father is a deceased veteran) and Brittnee and the VFW along with the American Legion Post did a 4 gun salute and folded up the flag and presented it to me and gave the blank shells to my husband. They had to clear it with the police and post a notice in all the elevators as well as notify other hotel guests via a notice under their doors. If that wasn't going beyond the call, I don't know what is. My 1 and only complaint was that the catering staff cut the cake slices too big and we wished there was more. Needless to say the wedding surpassed expectations as well as the hotel and the entire staff.

Amazing Customer Service - and FOOD!

I can't say enough about the staff here. From the valet, bellmen, front desk staff, wedding planning team wait staff and chef. How do you prepare 154 beef short ribs AND fresh market fish and still get served hot...all of it!! Problems pop up, they were on it. Upset bride because of the room she is in - all over it. An amazing group of professionals.

work with Brittnee at the Marriott!!!!

Brittnee, and the entire staff at the Delray Beach Marriott, were amazing. It was a pleasure to work with Brittnee, and her attention to detail could not possibly be surpassed. I hope I get another chance to work with her again one day. She helped make our affair a most memorable night. (And the food was excellent.)
