Overall Very Happy with our Choice

Both my husband and I had a great experience at the Pelican. We were taken care of and treated very well by all the staff. The Catering Manager, Janira, was professional, friendly, and communicative every step of the way. We felt valued and definitely recommend getting married here if you want an ocean-view ceremony.

Our dream wedding

Let me start by saying how much this hotel/venue means to us! Our first date was here so we wanted to get married here as well. The stunning views, happy people, beautiful spacious rooms I can go on and on. Alivia and her team were there with us every step of the way. We loved her so much we wanted her to be our day of coordinator ! Even though she’s not, she was still there making sure EVERYTHING ran smooth, even holding my mother in laws Yorki while we walked down the aisle. We love this place, our set up was stunning for both ceremony and reception. Food was FANTASTIC everything was perfect thank you guys so much for taking care of us!

Micro Wedding

The Pelican was fantastic to host our micro wedding! I feel like this hotel is a hidden gem! Alivia worked with us so easily to customize our special day toward what we wanted. The charm and beauty of the hotel is unmatched. I love that we were able to be married in a beach setting while not having the step foot on the sand. The staff was amazing throughout the event, I count not recommend them enough!!

Couldn’t have chosen a better destination wedding venue!

Janira at Pelican Grand was outstanding to work with. Planning a destination wedding in another state, during spring break, with over 50 guests was challenging and stressful but Pelican Grand made all the difference. Janira was calm, warm, experienced and professional. We had a backup plan in case of rain which we had to use but it was beautiful. Their preferred vendor list was priceless.

Absolutely best wedding venue!

We had our wedding here and had an amazing experience! We worked alongside Janira and from day 1 till wedding day she was there! Janira is kind, knowledgeable and extremely determined to hit the nail on every detail! Front desk staff, Angel, Mark/Damian/Gio, Ms. Dana and Ms. Fabiana were so tentative and kind on wedding day! I can’t recommend this location and team enough!! Great amenities, the lazy river is a must, breakfast on the patio is absolutely breathtaking and of course you have to grab your resort souvenirs at the emporium!

Absolutely perfect

We decided on a Micro-Wedding and Pelican Grand was the perfect location to make a small wedding feel like a Grand Wedding! Alivia was amazing, she was a part of every detail, she helped us with vendors, every detail down to the chargers on the tables. The food was AMAZING! Everyone commented on the food! The Hotel is luxurious and beautiful. We loved everything about this venue!

Amazing wedding venue!

Our daughter’s wedding took place here on March 1st, 2025, and everything was absolutely perfect! From the breathtaking ocean view during the ceremony to the stunning sunset at the end of the cocktail hour, every moment was magical. Janira, our banquet manager, and the entire staff were incredibly professional and ensured the day was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Perfect

Choosing Pelican Beach Resort for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, every detail exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—a perfect blend of elegance and charm. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning views and the warm, inviting atmosphere. Their team truly made us feel like family. From the first meeting to the final moments of our reception, they were there every step of the way, ensuring everything was perfect. They listened to our vision and brought it to life with such care and attention to detail that we were blown away.

On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure every moment flowed seamlessly. It allowed us to fully enjoy our day and focus on each other, our family, and our friends.

Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, and so much of that is thanks to Maribel and her amazing team. We’ll always remember the magic of that day and the incredible people who helped make it possible. If you’re looking for a venue that feels like home but delivers an extraordinary experience, you can’t go wrong here.
