A dream wedding at The Grand Hotel
Our wedding at The Grand Hotel in Cape May was nothing short of magical, and that’s thanks in large part to our incredible planner, Katlyn. From the very beginning, Katlyn was the calm, confident, and endlessly organized presence every couple dreams of having on their wedding team.
She anticipated every detail before we even thought of it — timelines, décor, coordination, and all those behind-the-scenes logistics that make the day flow seamlessly. Her communication was always clear and reassuring, and her genuine warmth made us feel like she was personally invested in making our day perfect.
On the wedding day itself, Katlyn was everywhere at once — managing vendors, guiding our bridal party, and ensuring every special moment unfolded exactly as planned. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests are still raving about how smooth, beautiful, and joy-filled the entire day was.
If you’re getting married in Cape May, look no further — Katlyn at The Grand Hotel is the absolute best. She turned our vision into a stunning reality and made the whole experience joyful and stress-free. We are forever grateful! 💖
Peter & Tyler: The Perfect Wedding Day at The Grand!
Our wedding coordinator, Katlyn, and her team were absolute stars. They were organized, attentive, and made us feel so special and cared for from start to finish. Every detail was handled flawlessly, and we genuinely felt supported the entire day.
The food was incredible — our guests couldn’t stop raving about it — so a huge thank you to the chef and kitchen team. And we also want to shout out Bill, the manager at our after-party, for providing such excellent service and keeping the night running smoothly.
We are so grateful to the whole Grand Hotel staff for giving us an unforgettable wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

I have had the opportunity to play at this venue and the staff were truly helpful. The views are breath-taking. If you love the ocean, you need to take a look at this facility.
I have photographed a few times at the Grand Hotel Cape May and always thought they did a lovely job creating a wonderful wedding experience for their couples. This past January, they did something that showed just how above and beyond they go to provide excellent service to their couples. We had an all-out blizzard, and there was a wedding party staying at the hotel. They weren't actually getting married there, they were just staying there. The location where the wedding was supposed to take place had to (for very good reasons of safety) cancel on them two days before. You know how the Grand Hotel handled that? They gave this couple a wedding. On almost no notice. This could have been a disaster for the couple, but The Grand came through and did such an amazing job that the couple has nothing but good memories of their wedding day. It definitely could have gone another way. To cap it all off, at the end of the night when it wasn't safe for the vendors to go home, they put us up without charge. I deal with venues all the time, because I shoot about 60 weddings a year. The Grand Hotel is one of the few that seem to genuinely care for not only their clients, but their vendors as well. I highly recommend them for weddings, events, or just a lovely stay on the water.
Such a beautiful setting for a wedding. The staff and Hotel is so easy to work with. A great place for a special day.
