If you’ve ever dreamed of tying the knot with ocean views just steps away, The Grand Galvez in Galveston, TX might be the one you’ve been searching for. This iconic hotel is a coastal dream come true—timeless, elegant, and filled with character around every corner.

Old-World Charm Meets Modern-Day Coastal Luxury

From the moment you step inside The Grand Galvez, you’re completely transported! With its soaring ceilings, grand chandeliers, and soft coastal color palette. Every inch of the space feels like a romantic getaway. This isn’t just a place to host your wedding—it’s a full experience for you and your guests.

You can start your weekend with a beachside bike ride on the hotel’s complimentary cruisers. Afterward, spend the morning relaxing at the spa, sipping champagne, or lounging poolside. Then, slip into your gown while hearing waves crash just outside. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, the Grand Galvez offers indoor and outdoor spaces that are straight out of a storybook.

Picture-Perfect Ceremony Spots

For your ceremony, you have numerous options—all just as equally stunning. Couples can say “I do” under the palm trees in the beautifully manicured Oleander Garden, or inside one of the hotel’s magnificent ballrooms. Both offer stunning backdrops for your ceremony and portraits.

As a wedding photographer, I can confidently say the photo opportunities here are endless!! In fact, between the soft golden light bouncing off the Gulf and the dramatic interiors of the hotel, your gallery will be filled with that effortless blend of elegance and charm.
