    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    Delray Beach Marriott gave my husband and I the wedding of a lifetime! Everything from planning to the actually reception party has been so easy and professional. The hotel is gorgeous and the even coordinator, Brittnee McGrath, made planning and organizing so easy for us! She did an astounding job in communicating with me, which was difficult as it is because I live in Georgia and had to plan long distance. I was only able to visit the venue two or three times the year I was planning and Brittnee really worked with me in between visits to make planning this important event so much less stressful. Brittnee was so patient and informative whenever I was unsure or needed advice. The week/day of we had some issues with guests reservations for those guests who booked through different means or didn’t use our wedding code, and Brittnee made sure every one of our guest was included. During the wedding, the catering staff was so kind and helpful. If there was anything we needed they were on top of it and ready to go. Everyone was extremely professional and the overall set-up and execution was phenomenal. I heard from some guests that the cocktail hour rooms were a little hot, but I’m sure if someone had said something they would have been able to fix it. I had previously heard amazing things about Delray Beach Marriott and I’m happy to say I will add my own incredibly impressed and thankful thoughts and praise to the mix. Our wedding was so beautiful and I had a great time planning it and partying during it thanks to the amazing staff at Delray Beach Marriott.

    From the moment I contacted the venue, I knew that my in depth search was over. The ballroom and outdoor space is spectacular . Working with Brittnee has been smooth and productive. Countdown to March 2018.

    We got married at the Marriott October 21st and it could not have been a more perfect event for our wedding. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a wedding near the beach with an old Florida vibe. Our event manager Sarah Hodges was amazing. The food and white glove service the night of the event was top notch. Overall an amazing weekend for us and our guests. People are still telling me how wonderful everything was. 5 stars all around.

    We cannot speak highly enough of The Delray Beach Marriott and its' staff, especially Brittnee Monti. This was only the second (and last) venue we visited because we knew we had found the best location right away. Brittnee was extremely responsive throughout our 16 month planning period, almost always responding to e-mails within an hour. She and the rest of the staff at The Delray Beach Marriott were always so friendly, professional, and accommodating (especially for the Kosher meals we requested). Everything ran smoothly the weekend of our wedding, and we received so many compliments regarding the beauty and elegance of the venue. My bridal party and I got ready in the Island Breeze Suite, staff members escorted us around the hotel anywhere we wanted pictures, and they even transformed our centerpieces for the Farewell Brunch we had at the hotel the next day. Best venue ever!!

    This was a wonderful hotel block, especially for our non-Floridian guests. It gave them great access to the beach and was still convenient for all our wedding events!

    Talk about knowing how to throw a party!! From the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch, this venue was incredible! The entire staff, (but most especially, my coordinator, Sonja Reid) really made things perfect for us. Everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. I highly, highly, recommend this venue for any special event you may have!

    The Delray Beach Marriott made my wedding dreams come true. Everything was perfect in everyday. The staff was helpful, the food was perfect and with the beach across the street our Photographer Alfredo owner of Couture Bridal Photography (www.CoutureBridalPhotography.com) was able to capture beautiful images inside the hotel and on the beach, even at night. Our Floral Designer and Event decorator Jorge of Dream Occasions Studio (www.DreamOccasionsetc.com) made my reception and ceremony everything I ever dreamed and imagines. I totally recommend the Delray Beach Marriott, Couture Bridal Photography and Dream Occasions Studio.

    Brittnee Monti was great and went above and beyond to make my wedding day beautiful and stress-free. I planned my wedding from out of state and she was always very responsive to my emails and phone calls with my constant questions and changes. If there were any issues with the wedding day, she ensured that they were quickly rectified. I highly recommend Brittnee and this venue.
