The Waverly Restaurant’s Soirée Room

We just had our wedding here on February 2nd, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who would love a beach wedding and a reception overlooking the ocean. Frank was an amazing coordinator and helped make everything flow nice and easy the day and night of the wedding. Frank was there with us every step of the way and was very easy to work with and very responsive to emails, texts, or calls. The food was amazing and top notch. Absolutely loved our wedding here!

Frank at the Gulf View Grill went above and beyond adding special touches for my wedding and making sure that everything went smoothly. His attention to detail, consistent communication along the way, and love of his job was amazing! The room was simply beautiful, better than I could have imagined it and the food was amazing as well! He also had a vendor list for us that consisted of our amazing Photographer! (Photography by Larson) I'd definitely recommend the Gulf View Grill to anyone for a wedding!

Hands down, best venue choice!! Frank is the absolute best when it comes to planning every detail of your wedding and reception. From day one of meeting with him, he had so much excitement in helping us plan the perfect wedding day! He is quick to respond to any calls or emails--especially when it is being planned from a distance (we live in Orlando). Frank makes sure every detail is up to par and perfect according to your specifications. He confirms everything with you and makes sure there is nothing to worry about! I can honestly say our wedding day was PERFECT! Seriously! Not one snag or mishap--Thank you Frank for everything you did to help make our wedding day as perfect as it could possibly be!!! -Amy & Mark

Frank is amazing! I can not thank him enough for all of his hard work and dedication to our special day! We came from out of town and I could not have asked for anyone better to help make the day a stress free success! Thank you again for everything! The Dillard Family

Frank is so easy to deal with and was super helpful during my planning. I live 650 miles from Englewood, so his help was invaluable and most appreciated!!

I could not have anything more than positive things to say about Gulf View Grill and especially the event planner Frank Koziel. First, the location is absolutely beautiful and such a romantic setting. We had our wedding on the beach in the evening followed by the reception at the restaurant which is conveniently located right across the street. Our wedding included approximately 110 guests and everyone raved about the food! We chose the prime rib, snapper and chicken marsala and all received excellent reviews. Frank was instrumental in helping me to plan the event and was a godsend. The service, setting and atmosphere at this venue is unbeatable! Thank you to Frank and the staff for making the wedding so spectacular!

I was surprised that this place is not as popular as it should be. It was not on the venues list in the knot. And I believe that this venue should be advertised in every wedding magazine in Florida! This is one of the most romantic and charming places I have ever been at. And trust me I have been to a lot of places traveling the US. I did not even have a man in my life, and was in a totally different state when I made the decision that this is the place where my wedding will be at! I fell head over heels in love with the building! It is so gorgeous! The restaurant is on the second floor overlooking the Gulf! You could sit there watching the sunset for dinner! Or you could take out your drinks on the balcony for that breathtaking Florida sunset!!!!!!! I set my goals and the event coordinator Mike Kenney made my dreams come true!!!!! When finally the man of my dreams came in to my life, I ended up walking down the aisle to unite in holy matrimony on the beach! And then had the reception at the Gulf View Grill! The day was perfect! !! The weather was perfect the food was perfect! And most of all I was not even stressed on the big day, since I knew that I only had the best of the best coordinators! Mike Kenney! I knew that he had everything in his hands and under his control to make sure that the day was perfect! !!! A little rain don't scare him! He worked around all circumstances to make sure its perfect!!!!! Oh and did I forget to mention that their drinks are the best!!! I have searched for years where they make my favorite Pina Colada! The only two places was Hawaii, and now finally in Florida! !!! If you have not been to Gulf View Grill!!!!! You are missing out!!!!!

Awesome job as my wedding venue, catering and even day-of coordination! The location is absolutely beautiful for a beach wedding!
