    Our Perfect Wedding at The Grand Hotel


    On the day of our wedding, the entire staff at the Grand Hotel went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Katlyn was there to help us since the beginning (answering all of our emails) and even provided a detailed list of what is needed for the big day. We had a room block for our guests and everyone was happy with their rooms. Overall, our experience at the Grand Hotel surpassed all expectations. We are forever grateful to everyone at the Grand Hotel for making our special day truly unforgettable and would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a magical wedding.

    Spring Wedding at the Grand Hotel

    We got married at the Grand in April of 2024 and our wedding was a spring dream! Katlyn is absolutely the best to work with and is super friendly, organized and responsive. We absolutely loved working with her and the other friendly staff at the Grand. I knew I wanted to get married at the Grand after seeing the amazing views from 5th floor ballroom and the sundeck and it did not disappoint. All the guests complimented the food and I particularly loved the lobster mac and cheese. The banquet staff were wonderful and the ballroom looked awesome. Partying at Hemingways afterwards was also a guest favorite. Amazing venue all around!

    Absolutely amazing wedding experience.

    Amazing venue and even better service from Katelyn! She made every detail perfect and special to us! The weather was back and forth so we moved cocktail hour inside and Katelyn and the staff had the inside cocktail hour looking amazing! Would recommend this venue to anyone.

    Excellent!

    My husband and I got married at The Grand Hotel on August 26, 2023. The venue was everything we were looking for. It had a beautiful view, the food was delicious and the hotel itself was so clean and had very friendly staff. From the day we met the wedding coordinator, Katlyn, she was absolutely fabulous to work with! She was one of the main reasons we chose The Grand as our wedding venue. Everything you read about her online is so true! She is so personable and paid attention to every detail. She made the wedding planning process so easy. She is so organized, and she provided us with so much helpful information and ideas. She was very responsive to all of our emails, no matter what time of day or week it was. She would respond to us very quickly. She helped make or wedding day everything we could have envisioned it to be. We were so happy with our decision to have out wedding with The Grand Hotel of Cape May & Katlyn!

    Beautiful Venue!

    The Grand Hotel was absolutely amazing! We met with Katlyn and immediatey fell in love with the hotel and all that it could provide for our dream beach wedding. Katlyn was so helpful and felt like family. She wanted to make sure my day was special and I felt special. Leading up to the day Katlyn kept in touch and emailed me a detailed list of things that needed to be done. I felt like it was so easy! We got married in June of 2023 and on wedding weekend arrived Katlyn was in control and everything was soo smooth. Our rehearsal was flawless and the day of the wedding was absolutely amazing. Katlyn made me feel so comfortable and that no question was silly.

    We still have people telling us today how amazing the wedding was all we hear is how good the food was, wait staff and atmosphere. We are beyond happy that we chose The Grand Hotel in Cape May as our wedding venue.

    Amazing Venue with and Amazing Planner!

    We got married at The Grand Hotel in Nov 2022 & could not have had a better experience! Katlyn was amazing from the first time we met with her. She guided us throughout the entire planning process & everything went exactly as we had planned. Katlyn was available day & night to answer any questions that we had. Our guests all raved about how great everything was & we could not have been happier! Would recommend The Grand Hotel to anyone looking to get married in Cape May, NJ.

    A Dream Come True!

    My husband and I went into wedding planning with zero clue about what we were walking into. The first venue and last venue we looked at was The Grand. We fell in love with the views from the ballroom, a full view of the ocean! Our guests raved about the food, the experience, and location of the The Grand! And Katlyn was the most helpful!! She answered any and every question we had, provided suggestions- that we loved, and was more than we could ever ask for! The day of our wedding went perfectly and it was all because of her! We are so thankful for The Grand and Katlyn making all of our dreams come true! I wouldn't change a thing!

    The Grand Hotel sure is Grand

    My husband and I got married here October 1st, despite a hurricane this weekend everything was perfect! Although we wanted to get married out on the sundeck, the contingency plan for having our ceremony indoors couldn't have been any more amazing. Katlyn, Kelly Ann and the rest of the staff really went out of their way to ensure our day was as fantastic as it could possibly be. The views from the cocktail hour room and ballroom are unrivaled. Our guests kept complimenting the food, the service, and the venue as a whole. Highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of getting married here.

    The best day ever!

    I know there are choices for a wedding venue in Cape May, NJ but if you’re considering such a great city for your special day, look no further than the Grand Hotel. The wedding coordinator, Katlyn Mogavero and her team including Dawn and Kelly, were outstanding and always made us feel this was the only wedding they were focused on. The venue was terrific, the food was incredible but their attention to detail was outstanding. Ever call to them received a response of “not a problem”. Even asking for recommendations for our rehearsal dinner venues and welcome receptions turned out to be spectacular. And the views during our cocktail hour were breath taking. Look no further and book it.

    Perfect wedding !

    The wedding went perfect! The venue was absolutely gorgeous ! It is in a prime beach location and everyone was able to visit the Washington Street mall pre-wedding so no one was unhappy to be in Cape May. The wedding coordinator always responded immediately to all my questions and even worked with us to make sure things always went our way! The rest of the staff was amazing as they always kept us happy throughout the ceremony and helped distribute welcome bags to all the guests as they came in.

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding

    We just had our wedding at The Grand Hotel Cape May and it was perfect. From the first moment we reached out to Katlyn Mogavero we felt that we were in great hands. She answered every question, and there were many. She gave us lists of vendors and each one was fantastic. The venue is beautiful, the hotel rooms are great, and the food is amazing. Katlyn literally handles everything to make sure you can enjoy your special day. Definitely check this venue out.

    The ONLY place to have a wedding!

    I cannot recommend the Grand Hotel more! From the moment my husband and I walked in to speak with Katlyn in December 2020 as we were venue hunting to July 17, 2022 when we got married everything was perfect! Katlyn and her staff go above and beyond to ensure that your day goes amazing through the quick blur the day can be! The Grand Hotel was our first venue stop and quite frankly should have been our last but we obviously came back! I was hooked on the view, Katlyn’s attention to detail and the fact I didn’t need to ask her one question off of my list as she answered most just getting on the elevator before looking at the ballrooms. When we left I told Brian I think this is it and it was,! If we were to get married again we would be back at the Grand and no other looking needed! Thank you for making our day the best ever!!

    I cannot say enough about Katlyn and the wonderful staff at The Grand! They all made the entire process easy, comfortable and exciting!

    From Day 1 Katlyn stood by my side, held my hand and guided me through the entire process of planning our wedding. She was responsive, usually answering my emails in a matter of minutes. I feel like I’ve gained a friend in Katlyn after this experience. Kelly-Ann is a real sweetheart. She kept me calm as I began my entrance to the ceremony. The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive, helpful and friendly throughout the reception. This is the place to get married and vacation at for sure along the Jersey Shore!!!

    More beautiful than we expected!

    We can't say enough about The Grand Hotel. It was more beautiful and special than we imagined. The food was excellent, the reception room was perfect, the service was on top of every request, the rooms were comfortable and the ceremony was perfect. The most important detail of our wedding was Katlyn Mogavero, the Grand’s Wedding Planner. Katlyn was available for every question along the way, no request was too much for her. We were supposed to have a beach wedding and at the last minute the rain pushed us inside. Katlyn quickly created a beautiful ceremony space inside and I never missed the beach. Our families loved the event from Friday through Sunday. We would recommend the Grand to anyone looking for a beautiful memorable event in Cape May.

    Kaitlyn is THE BEST!!!

    I got married here in May and throughout the entire process Kaitlyn made it an easy process. She made sure from the moment we signed our contract until the day after our wedding that we were comfortable, had all we needed and was beyond organized. I couldn’t recommend the Grand Hotel any more for a wedding! It was absolutely unfortunate that it rained but Kaitlyn made sure I was happy with having the indoor ceremony.

    The Best Beach wedding venue

    If you are looking for a beautiful beach venue with amazing food, great location, and outstanding staff.. BOOK HERE NOW. But I have to say the best part about this venue is Katlyn, their wedding coordinator. From the moment you email her she makes you feel like family. She also has the fastest response time I have ever seen. My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding turned out here. People are still raving about the food and hotel! If I could rate this venue more than 5 stars I would!

    Just amazing

    We got engaged in 2021 and wanted a special venue. We met with Katlyn Mogavero about 2 months after our engagement and instantly fell in love with the venue and Katlyn just topped the cake lol and made all of our dreams come true. The process was so simple from booking to the day of the wedding. I would email her literally every 2 seconds and would get a text back with a smile. If your thinking about booking don't hesitate just do it. It will be the wedding of your dreams i promise.

    Bride & Groom

    Katlyn and her team are fantastic. They made our day perfect. We cannot thank them enough for all their help. The venue is amazing from the top floor reception to cocktail hour on the deck. We are thrilled with how everything turns out. We are already talking about renewing our vows in a few years and planning it here!

    Kathlyn we cannot thank you enough. We have not stopped talking about our wedding for a week.

    I would absolutely recommend The Grand Hotel for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

    Beautiful Ballroom, Phenomenal Staff

    Katlyn and her team at The Grand Hotel are simply the BEST! From our first meeting to our special day, Katlyn was with us every step of the way to ensure the wedding reception of our dreams. Her quick communication and enthusiasm made planning the reception a joy. We never experienced any stress when it came to The Grand, and it really helped us to keep our "eye on the prize" when wedding stress, in other areas, invariably came along. The staff are fantastic as well. We felt completely spoiled during our tasting, and when the big day came along, the members of the waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Our signature cocktails were delicious and the food was a huge hit with our guests. Management was also kind and solicitous and made us feel so very special. They executed the reception flawlessly, checking in with us throughout the evening and guiding us along. If there were any fires to put out, we were not aware of them! We cannot overstate how wonderful it was to work with Katlyn, and how meaningful it was that every single member of staff showed us sincere warmth. Everyone involved was so very lovely that I feel this review will not fully do them justice and wish I could thank each and every person individually. They made us feel like family. Our hearts are full and we cannot thank everyone at The Grand enough for making our reception more beautiful than we could have ever hoped for. Do not hesitate! Come for the ballroom and ocean views, stay for Katlyn and the phenomenal staff! It will be the easiest decision you make!

    The grand >>

    The Grand was the most perfect location for our day. Katlyn is the best person on the planet. She helped us through postponement and made everything EASY. She celebrated us in high times and helped to solve our problems when they arose. She is everything!! I would also have to mention the amazing food, ocean views, and overall experience! Chose the grand!!!
