Pelican Club

t was from start to finish. I don't normally write reviews, but this place deserves a lot of positive press.... Let's start with the staff. Anna and Christina worked every detail as though they were hired wedding planners. The attention to detail, their emotional investment, and literally 100’s of hours of work showed in every aspect of this experience. This journey with Anna started in February 2018 and in nearly a year and 2 months, Anna never stopped smiling, never stopped helping, and I can’t recall her ever saying no to anything. Other notables, Daniel the mai tre d’ for the evening managed the entire night with amazing grace - truly a master of ceremony! Kevin, the GM, the chef and his crew, all the serving staff, and our two dedicated staff members who took care of the bride and groom all night. AMAZING! The food was TO DIE FOR. We had 142 attendees and the amount of food was over the top. I still have family members reminiscing about the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Yum! And last but not least, the VENUE. The Lessing family has successfully made this new space the prettiest location in all of Jupiter. From the pecky cypress to the floor to ceiling windows looking out to the inlet and our famous lighthouse, the space is spectacular. WOW is all I can say. I have now been married for 10 days so it is all very fresh in my mind. I’ve thought through every moment of the day and evening and I can honestly say, we would not have changed a thing. The Pelican is more than a wedding/party venue, it is a place where your dream experience is made reality.

e and accommodating throughout the entire process even with the pandemic. Courtney was so helpful with setting our date and answering hard questions about Covid and the restrictions that we would have to follow. Christina was also helpful with all of my questions and made sure every last detail was accounted for. For our big day, we had the pleasure of working with Stephanie who went above and beyond for our special day. She made sure every detail was in order and our wedding went so smoothly thanks to her. She truly is amazing at what she does! The entire staff was exceptional. I received so many compliments about this venue and everything it has to offer. A perfect setting, flawless operations, outstanding service and food, and attention to detail set the Pelican Club apart. If you want an exceptional venue with breathtaking views, you cannot go wrong with the pelican club. Highly recommend!!

ce so easily. The view is stunning, the food was spectacular and the attention to my husband and I, our wedding party, family, and guests goes unmatched. I highly recommend using the Pelican Club for your next event, but especially your wedding. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much to everyone, Stephanie, Mo, Christina, and so many more!! We have gotten rave reviews from all of our guests and wish we could relive the day over and over!!!

roughout the entire process Christina was amazing to communicate with, answering all my questions even throughout all the unknowns of 2020! Once the day finally came it was a dream, more than anything we ever imagined it could be. The whole day went soooo smooth and perfect! Someone was there throughout the entire time to ensure we had anything we needed and everything went smoothly. All my guests were so amazed at the venue, food, and overall atmosphere that were found at the pelican club. I highly recommend anyone who is planning a wedding to pick the pelican club! They made our special day everything we wanted and more!!

re still able to host our celebration on 12/4/20. We had so many challenges and last-minute changes, but Christina, Courtney & team were so helpful, accommodating & awesome. Stephanie, Michele, & the entire staff on our wedding night were INCREDIBLE!! The service just blew us away and their attention to detail was so appreciated. The food was fun, creative and delicious… and piping hot as well. Our guests are still raving about the food & how beautiful the venue is. We were nervous about how Covid-19 safety concerns could restrict our event and the guest experience, but the Pelican Club not only provided a safe property and event, but overall an incredible night! I can’t thank everyone enough. We had the most amazing celebration and have only the best memories to carry forward with!

and our photos were AMAZING due to multiple picture perfect backgrounds on the grounds. Equally as important- the staff went well above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our day was perfect. They were helpful, kind, knowledgeable and always willing to work with us on all details. I highly recommend this venue- you will not be disappointed!

ly friendly, more of a business transaction without the excitement and care for a very special day. I've never planned a wedding so I ignored it, because I'm excited and its a beautiful venue, right? Wrong. I was originally an April bride and of course had to postpone to July. When I postponed I was given an August date and changed my vendors and began to let my guests know; only to find out the next day that they had given me an unavailable date (Anna). Thus the July date. Fast forward a couple months. We all know nothing is easy with everything going on, but communication is key. The lack of communication and information provided by Pelican was little to none. I have many out of town guests so I needed answers as we were now 3 weeks before the wedding. They were brash, uncaring and uninformative. Very disappointing. When I finally got them (Christina) to communicate an answer or plan, she simply said "you will have to cancel or postpone again". This is what you say to a bride who has been planning for over a year and has already postponed and who's wedding is in 3 weeks? Guests already canceled and rescheduled traveling plans: flights, time off from work, hotels, etc.. now do it again? To also shed a little light.. they canceled on another bride a little over a week before her wedding (basically saying good luck) and the bride the weekend before me didn't know anything. Their way to negotiate and handle difficult situations with fragile brides is disgusting. We did get all our money back which is a plus; but they caused such stress and negativity to an already difficult situation. Luckily we found another venue who was more than accommodating and able to host our special day. Disappointed, angry, disgusted with Pelican are understatements.

g by. Every detail, big and small, at the Pelican Club is GORGEOUS and the event space could not be more perfect for a wedding. Since convenience was a huge priority for our wedding, being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all onsite was perfect and so much fun. Our guests all raved about how delicious the food and drinks were and the wait staff was incredible. Working with the Pelican Club to plan our wedding could not possibly have gone more smooth and the staff is so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I don’t have a single complaint about the Pelican Club, our wedding was a dream and the venue was a huge part of it! I can’t recommend it enough!

above and beyond to make sure the final details were all organized and everything went off without a hitch! Kevin the GM, Daniel the Maitre’d, and Shawn with the brawn, were super sweet and the best hype men a girl could ask for! They made sure everything was in place, that I was happy, and our guests were happy. The wait staff, the bartenders, the valets were phenomenal, so efficient, and well trained! GAIL! Sweet, sweet, angel on earth Gail! She is much more than a bridal attendant. She was and is, an incredible friend, calming presence, and over all amazing person! THE FOOD WAS GREAT, THE AMBIENCE WAS GORGEOUS, THE VIEW IS UNMATCHED, AND THE PARTY WAS EVERYTHING I IMAGINED AND MORE! Thank you ALL for making this day one that Chris and I will never forget! So many beautiful memories that I will cherish forever! SOUTH FLORIDA BRIDE’S: This is your venue! If you want to WOW your guests and work with THE BEST CREW...Pelican Club will not disappoint!

location. Anna and Christina were extremely helpful throughout our planning process, helping us prepare for the big day and make sure that every detail of the day came to life perfectly. Daniel, our maitre’d, made sure the entire night went off without a hitch, and it truly could not have gone any smoother thanks to him. Wendy, our bridal attendant, was unbelievable making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night and our bridal party could not say enough great things about her, she is the best! Also, a huge thanks to Chef Richie and the duo from the New York team, Chef Eddy & Billy Ladato, who came down for the event and help crafted the most unbelievable menu that our guests are still talking about. Everything exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful to the Pelican Club and their exceptional team for making our wedding day the best day ever!

ue is eye candy. The food was also great (and plentiful). There was an issue with the food order on our wedding day so I would ensure you double check everything. However I feel this may have been more on our external Planner than Pelican Club. The staff the day of were very attentive and a pleasure to work with (and great at keeping the bride calm). The venue allows for such great pictures that many of our guests took the opportunity to get great pictures (many have become their profile pictures). The only negative I would say is the deck. We wanted to take pictures on the deck and it was covered in bird poop. I would have liked a power wash earlier in the day if possible so I didn't have to worry about my dress to get the pictures we wanted. Aside from that, I would highly recommend Pelican Club and staff.

te - and was our ONLY venue we saw and booked it ... While it was under construction! Yes, we had that much confidence and knew that how Anna was showcasing the venue on our hard hat tour that this was the perfect location for our 2019 wedding. Boy were we right. We recently got married on November 2, 2019 and it was by far the best day of our lives. During the entire planning process, both Anna and Christina were available when needed, answered all of our questions, and made the planning process a breeze. The day of our wedding I had no concerns and knew that we were in great hands - from the day before at our rehearsal throughout the ceremony and reception everyone was on top of their game and executed our day flawlessly. Daniel, the maitre'd and Wendy the bridal attendant were amazing - anything we needed, they were one step ahead. Those that work behind the scenes - chefs, set-up crew, etc. their work did not go unnoticed, and I can't even tell you how many people are STILL talking about the food (even two weeks later). Kevin, the General Manager, was onsite and available whenever needed and a pleasure to work with. Now the view ... No better view in Jupiter, in my opinion. The views are breathtaking, and I cannot wait to get our photos and video back from our vendors. I could go ON AND ON, but instead you should just book this venue and experience this yourself. You will not be disappointed. I wish we could re-live this night again, because it was truly amazing. Thank you to everyone at the Pelican Club!!

service, decor and hospitality. We appreciated the open communication with Anna and her team. Our guests were in awe of the venue and overall Lessings experience. The day and evening flowed beautifully with both sun and rain on our wedding day. We are grateful for the service we had at the Pelican Club!

Wendy, the bridal attendant, made the day of go so smoothly and she really helped me keep my stress level as low as possible before the ceremony. We are so happy we chose to get married here.

elican Club.

r communication was quick and responsive. When we first met to tour the venue which was a construction zone, and after falling in love with the view. Anna reviewed renderings. I could tell her passion for the project would result in an amazing finished product and boy was I right. As time passed and we got closer to the day Anna and team made sure Danielle and I were informed of everything going on and was there for every question we had. Fast forward to Wedding Day and Anna was right there along with Wendy and Daniel making sure the day went off without a hitch. When it comes to Wendy all I can say is WOW! Whether it was helping with boutonnières or sewing a bustle into my brides dress or even making sure I had a drink in my hand and was able to eat she really did it all. Our wedding would not have been what it was if it wasn’t for her. Daniel was the man. Mr. Cool, Calm, and Collected kept everything going smooth throughout the night and was there for everything I needed, even getting one of my picky eater groomsmen Chicken Fingers instead of an adult entree. Transitioning into food and service it couldn’t have been better. The wait and bar staff was attentive as could be. No one was ever without a drink or water glass empty. The passed appetizers during cocktail hour were delicious I wish I had time for more. All in all the wedding was amazing and The Pelican Club and it’s beautiful venue over looking the Jupiter lighthouse with its exceptional staff is the only place I could have imagined marrying my best friend and saying I do.

Jupiter Lighthouse. Everything is elegant. Our guests were amazed. Anna is helpful every step of the way with planning. The food was delicious. Our guests were impressed with the amount of hors d'oeuvres available. The staff is very attentive. Honestly, everything was perfect that night. I highly recommend the Pelican Club!

nch of this property is a photo op just waiting to be captured. Your guests will love their experience and be talking about your wedding day for years to come!

. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the Pelican Club. The years of experience and knowledge possessed by the team are unmatched and brides should use their advice to their own advantage. They know what it takes to create a superior event. Trust in them! Jupiter has been waiting for a venue like this.

sts are still raving - especially about the food and service. Anna is amazing to work with and will help you fulfill the event of your dreams! Can't speak highly enough of about Pelican Club.

They made everything very special.

n Club immediately. Believe it or not, the venue wasn’t fully built yet (cement only!) BUT availability was already quickly booking up. It was a giant leap of faith (living in NY wouldn’t allow us to constantly drive by checking on status). We fell in love with the location directly across from the lighthouse, saw the renderings, believed in the vision and put our trust in Anna and the Lessing’s from the start. Anna is very confident yet calming, which are amazing qualities to have while working with future brides and grooms. No ask or task was too big or too small for her. Always quick to remind us “Don’t worry about that. That is my job!”, a pleasure to work with. From the signing of the contract to literally fixing my veil and train before I walked down the aisle, she never ceased to amaze us. Anna is a true professional. We were the 13th wedding, a destination wedding with only a six month engagement, so our calendars were difficult to accommodate. However, the Pelican Club’s staff went above and beyond to cater to us. We flew down for the food tasting with my parents and they spoiled us rotten. What a pleasant experience with great staff and amazing food. Everything was delicious. Chef Richard promised us the same on our wedding day and he over-delivered. We are still hearing from our guests. It never gets old! Our amazing bridal attendant Wendy also made sure that we (bride and groom) were tasting and eating everything. Wendy had the bridal and groom suites filled with goodies and every time we turned around at our cocktail hour and reception, she was there spoiling us with food and drink. Anything we could have wanted, Wendy had it already. Endless credit also goes to Daniel the maître d’ and Kevin the GM, who made sure there was nothing in the way to stop us from completely enjoying the celebration with our loved ones. A job well done. Our guests also fell in love with the venue itself. It is hard not to. In addition to the most elegant décor inside, the view of the intercostal, lighthouse, pelicans and boats passing by provide the most beautiful ambiance. You don’t really have to work to fill this room with added décor, because the guests just look out the floor to ceiling windows for the “wow!”. We are forever grateful to the Lessing’s, Anna and the Pelican Club staff for making our planning easier and then following through, nailing every detail on our special day. We wish we could do it all again... and we wish that you are able to book your wedding here. It was an experience and day that we will never forget!

ng - "Dont' worry, that's my job!" so almost half of my to-do list was gone! A week before the wedding, my wedding ceremony (off-site) changed times and locations, Anna was my first call. She simply said "we will make it work on our end" and it did! On the day of, Anna and the staff (especially our wonderful bridal attendant) took care of everything - in the morning, I got to just relax with my bridesmaid and family and, during the reception, I could just dance and laugh with my husband, family, and friends! I knew everything was in good (great) hands! I can't even explain how absolutely beautiful the entire venue is and it is coupled with the most beautiful location. About half of our guests were local (so they see the view most days!) and they were still stunned! From the bridal suite, to the groom-getting suite (that we let some of our younger guests snooze in as the party got underway), to the banquet hall ,to the stunning patio everything was beautiful! I could go on and on but my honest review is I would 100% go to the Pelican Club again and if it happens to be available - book it!! I'm hoping some of our friends get married there soon so I can relive the fun and experience the beauty again!

n the world that I would get married. Everything was impeccable from the finishes, to the food, to the incredible staff. There is nothing I would change. My wedding was beyond perfection and I am grateful for the Pelican Club and the amazing staff that flawlessly executed every last detail. I especially appreciated the maitre'd, and the room attendant, Wendy. I really felt they went above and beyond and made sure I enjoyed every moment and every minute of my day. Thank you!
