The Grand Hotel Cape May

Katlyn was absolutely amazing as our wedding planner! She was incredibly communicative, detail-oriented, and truly listened to what we envisioned for our big day. Thanks to her and the entire grand crew everything went smoothly and stress-free — from start to finish. They brought our plans to life perfectly and handled everything behind the scenes with such professionalism. The hotel has everything you need and more, We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or special event at the Grand hotel.

Katlyn and the whole Grand Hotel crew made our wedding better than our wildest dreams! They were so helpful leading up to and on the day that I never had to worry about anything. Everyone who came said they loved it- from the food, rooms, and the view. Everyone who came said it was the best wedding they've ever been to! I could not recommend the Grand Hotel- Cape May enough; everything was perfect!

We had our wedding this past weekend at The Grand Hotel and it was amazing! Katlyn and her staff was amazing! Everything went so smoothly I didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was so delicious! I couldn't recommend this venue enough!

We had the most magical experience at The Grand for our wedding! The location is absolutely breathtaking, with a view that created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. It truly felt perfect. The ceremony space was exquisitely set up, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how picturesque everything was. After the vows, the cocktail hour and reception space were equally impressive. The elegant décor and ambiance created a warm and inviting atmosphere for our celebration. A special shout-out to our wedding coordinator, Katlyn! She was incredible from start to finish. She anticipated our every need, suggesting ideas we hadn’t even considered and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her and the entire staff’s attention to detail was remarkable, and it truly made our day stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines stunning scenery with exceptional service, we can’t recommend the Grand enough!

My husband, Nic, and I got married at the Grand Hotel on 9/27/2024 and it was a dream come true! We have a deep fondness for Cape May and knew we wanted to get married There. My family has been coming to Cape May for years and now my parents have a house in the Villas. We have always adored Cape May and hoped that someday it was going to be the place we devoted ourselves to one another. The moment we walked into the Grand Hotel and met Katlyn Mogavero, I knew the Grand was going to be where my husband and I would get married. Katlyn was(is) personable, excited, professional, thorough and FUN from the very beginning. I went with my mom to view the venue for the first time without thinking I would book it right then and there but I did because of Katlyn :). I called my husband and told him I had to book because of how much I loved Katlyn and what the Grand Hotel had to offer. Katlyn was a major reason that we booked at this venue and I am ELATED that we did. I trusted her with everything! Katlyn was extremely prompt in responding whenever myself or my family had questions regarding planning. She was available for us and made everything feel so smooth in the planning. This was HUGE for us in not having to worry about any confusion or communication delays. We had our ceremony in the sundeck (which is weather permitting- we dodged a bullet because it did rain most of the day except for when we did our pictures and had our ceremony outside!). It was perfect :) The food was AMAZING! When we did our tasting, we were truly impressed with what the chef had to offer. My husband is a chef so he can be hard to please at times so when he was impressed, I knew that was a game changer. All of our guests were raving about the food that night And into the weekend! We chose Chilean sea bass and herb crusted filet for our entrees and many yummy hors d’oeuvres. Everything was cooked to perfection! The Grand Hotel is a one stop shop, when it comes to guests having a place to stay (and neighboring hotels surrounding if it happens to book up- which ours did for such a large wedding) and having a place for a welcome gathering and afterparty- which was basically a club by the end of the night for us. It was truly just the BEST experience all around. Katlyn and her team made Nic and I feel SO special throughout the whole process of wedding planning and especially on the big day, she made sure that we didn't have much to worry about. She made sure we had food in our bellies, a drink in our hands and our dancing shoes ready. She even pulled me into her office to bustle my dress before the reception and had a glass of my favorite wine delivered to me. Katlyn and her team were so accommodating and made our day feel so special and it was! Katlyn has become a close friend throughout all of the planning of our wedding. She was absolutely a joy to work with and I am very sad that it’s over but glad we have created such a wonderful connection. I recommend the Grand Hotel a million times over!!! Thank you SO MUCH to the Grand and especially Katlyn and her team! ❤️❤️❤️ we love you!

We had the perfect wedding weekend at The Grand!! Katlyn was amazing in helping us plan our dream wedding in under a year! Perfect location, perfect views, perfect atmosphere and Katlyn is with you every step of the way to help with the process and make it way less stressful. Our guests raved about the food and raved about how much of a great time they had. We would 1000% recommend anyone looking for a beach wedding at the Jersey Shore to check out The Grand!! Thank you Katlyn and staff for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams!!

Our wedding journey with The Grand began 13 months before our wedding. The Grand Hotel in Cape May had everything that we were looking for; a beautiful setting facing the ocean, an amazing cocktail/reception room (The Penthouse Ballroom) with amazing views of Cape May, a ton of options with linen colors, a magnificent bar, amazing food, accomodations, outdoor ceremony on their sundeck and an after party at Hemingways on first level of the hotel. The wedding coordinator/planner at the hotel (Katlyn Mogavero) was amazing and worked with us throughout our journey. We would definitely recommend The Grand to anyone considering a wedding in Cape May.

The Grand Hotel could sell itself with the views, atmosphere and location alone; however, my husband and I picked The Grand to host our guests for lodging and our wedding reception because of Katlyn Mogavero (Director of Sales & Marketing, ACPWC Certified Professional, Wedding Planner). From the very first meeting, Katlyn was professional, personable, organized, knowledgeable, fun and efficient. She made us feel comfortable from the minute we shook her hand. When you're newly engaged and have no idea what you're doing when it comes to planning a wedding, I can't emphasize enough how much of a relief it is to have a person like Katlyn in your corner. Throughout the entire process, she guided us along, easing our worries, giving us advice and recommendations through her years of experience in the industry. She helped us pick our table linen colors in less than 5-minutes, a decision I was harping on for far longer than I'd like to admit. She answered every email concisely and with urgency. If all of the above doesn't sell you on The Grand, maybe feedback from our guests might - (The Grand hosted our 160 person wedding reception) -"The food was hot when it came to our table, large portions, and delicious" -"That was one fabulous wedding - the setting, ocean view, food - spectacular" -"The service was phenomenal - friendly, efficient, amazing bar service and wait staff" Everybody at The Grand was so accommodating, answered all of our questions and made hosting a large reception as easy as it could be. I would recommend them over and over again.

We got married on August 8, 2024 and it was amazing!! We love Katlyn and The Grand Hotel! Katlyn made the wedding planning process so easy. She helped us through each step of the wedding planning process, was super organized and attentive, and a ray of sunshine throughout the entire process! The Grand Hotel is beautiful! Due to the tropical storm, we moved our ceremony to the fifth floor and it was amazing. Katlyn had our back up plan ready and made this change seamless. Our cocktail hour and reception were held on the first floor near and in the grand ballroom! We had a stationed style dinner and all guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about all of the food, cocktail hour included. We have stayed at the Grand Hotel a few times throughout the wedding planning process and plan to return for our anniversary. Everything about our day beautiful and we cannot thank Katlyn or The Grand Hotel enough!

We planned our wedding in less than 6 months. Katlyn at The Grand Hotel was absolutely amazing! She walked us through every detail including recommending wonderful vendors. Ultimately our wedding was an absolutely perfect day/weekend. Every detail was perfect. We were not stressed at all during planning and wedding. Our guests raved about everything. The food was awesome! We plan to come back for a getaway, maybe an anniversary celebration, and our guests all want to return as well!

You will not regret getting married at the Grand Hotel! We tied the knot in May 2024 and our wedding was everything we were hoping for and more! The wedding coordinator, Katlyn, is attentive, super communicative, and brings a burst of positive energy that sets the mood of the wedding from day one of meeting her all the way up to and through the big day. Getting married on the beach is a dream - but many places require permits. The GH takes care of that and has breath-taking views from its 5th floor ballroom. All the guests complimented the amazing food and said there was SO much of it too. The banquet staff were wonderful and the ballroom looked awesome. Thank you, Katlyn and staff for making our dream wedding a reality!

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.

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!

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!

The Grand Hotel in Cape May was the PERFECT reception venue for our wedding at the beach! The staff were all extremely professional and kind. Katlyn Mogavero, the venue wedding coordinator, was AMAZING and helped us throughout the planning process from the minute we booked our date until the final song of our wedding night:) We could not have asked for a more wonderful person to have as our day of coordinator!! The food was amazing, drinks were flowing, and the decor set up was everything we could have dreamed of and more! As the bride and groom, we did not worry about anything other than enjoying the night with each other and our family and friends. We would recommend the Grand Hotel to our closet loved ones. If you plan on having your wedding in Cape May, you can't go wrong!! Thank you for making our wedding day so special:)

10/10! Katlyn is absolutely amazing. She coordinated everything with all our vendors and made the day go smooth and easy for us! Food and drinks were spectacular. Location is great and ceremony and reception space was just what we were looking for. I wish Katlyn could coordinate all my parties for the rest of time!

5/5 Venue: Grand Hotel Cape May, point of contact, Katlyn Mogavero. Our experience with the Grand Hotel was absolutely exceptional! Katlyn, the wedding coordinator for the hotel, will become your best friend! Not only is she a coordinator, but she is also a certified wedding planner. She makes herself readily available via email, and overall makes the wedding planning process way easier than usual! All the little details that brides usually worry about, Katlyn always does her best to make sure those things are handled and resolved. Our guests were very impressed regarding how smoothly everything transitioned throughout the day. Staff made sure that leftovers were brought to our room at the end of the evening, decor was properly packed up, and made sure our guests were satisfied. This venue is the perfect location for a classic Jersey Shore style wedding!

Katlyn is awesome and makes the day so much less stressful. Everyone loved the venue and had so much fun! definitely recommend this venue

The Grand Hotel was a perfect venue for our destination wedding! Katlyn was great at helping us through the entire planning process! She was quick to respond to any questions we had and was extremely helpful at coordinating the vendors when we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain. The food was delicious and the preferred vendor list (along with Katlyn's guidance) made finding local vendors easy. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better day and are grateful to the team for making our wedding perfect and memorable!

Amazing venue, beautiful property, delicious food, and the most incredible coordinator, Katlyn. Our day was absolutely perfect and we are so grateful to The Grand Hotel staff for making all of our dreams come true!

Absolute perfection!! My husband and I got married here October 2022 and we couldn't be happier with the turn out. Everything went flawless. We received countless compliments about the venue, food, staff, and accommodations. I can't say enough about Katlyn...she is a wedding planner god send. She was incredible from day one. She helped guide us throughout the entire planning process, answered all of my emails literally almost immediately, and made sure our day was perfect. Katlyn and the team decorated for our ceremony and reception exactly how we wanted and we honestly didn't have to worry about anything all day. The Grand is exactly what I envisioned for our day. We highly recommend this venue!

We got married here in October 2022. If The Grand Hotel is apart of your search, look no further. We had a 200 person wedding and I can honestly say I’ve never heard more compliments from our guests about the venue. From the staff, to the food, to the accommodations, the cleanliness, everything was beyond perfect. Not to mention, Katlyn just blew everything out of the water. She made sure we did not have one ounce of stress throughout our planning process, always handled everything with such grace, and was ALWAYS available when I needed her during the planning process. Like literally ALWAYS answered my emails within 5 minutes. She is such a wonderful person who you can really tell loves what she does. She was the reason we chose the venue and the reason as to why our wedding day was perfect from beginning to end. Best venue, food, accommodations, room and staff EVER!

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!

We got married here on November 5th, 2022. Katlyn was amazing from the first time we met with her. She guided us through the entire wedding planning process & was available day & night to answer any of our questions. Our guests raved about her & how perfect everything was. I would recommend Katlyn & The Grand to anyone considering getting married in Cape May, NJ.

We got married here on Oct 29,2022. Everything was amazing. From the first time we spoke to Katlyn we knew we were in good hands. Over the months of planning she answered every question we had, and there were many. She gave us a large list of vendors for everything we could need and they were fantastic. The weekend of our wedding she had everything handled so that we could just relax and enjoy our special time. The venue itself, ceremony areas, as well as banquet rooms are beautiful. The food and drinks were amazing. All of our guests loved their rooms. The staff truly went above and beyond to take care of us. I would highly recommend Katlyn, and The Grand Hotel for your wedding.

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 Anne 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.

We got married last weekend and couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Grand. The view in the penthouse ballroom is amazing, the food was great and service was outstanding (special thanks to Dawn). Most importantly, Katlyn is absolutely incredible. She is responsive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Our wedding at the Grand was amazing and I would recommend to anyone.

My husband and I got married at The Grand Hotel on 10/15/22 and it was the most beautiful day. Katlyn and her team ensured everything went absolutely perfectly. We utilized her list of trusted vendors and they did not disappoint in the least. All of the suggested vendors that Katlyn supplies are professional, kind, and extremely talented. Every bride and groom should be lucky enough to work with such phenomenal people such as Katlyn and her team at The Grand!

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.

I cannot recommend the Grand Hotel more for everyone's wedding day! 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 as best and amazing as possible! The Grand was our first venue stop and 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, even though we looked a few places also! If we were to get married again we would be back at the Grand and no other looking needed! (But, hey, there is ALWAYS vow renewal) Thank you for making our day the best ever!!

If you want the beach wedding of your dreams, BOOK HERE NOW. From the location, the food, and the staff, everything was top notch for our wedding. The best part of having your wedding here is hands down Katlyn, the wedding coordinator. She is the most amazing person to work with and will answer you in record time. I must have emailed her hundreds of times and no question was too small. She is the absolute best. The food is also amazing with people still raving about the buffet choices! If I could rate this venue higher than a 5 I would!

KATLYN IS A GODSEND. If you're going to get married in Cape May, this is the place to do it!! Katlyn, the venue coordinator, will become your best friend and is one of the fastest email responders I've ever met in my life! No question was too small or too dumb for her to answer, and helped make sure the day of ran as smoothly as possible. I am so thankful we chose to get married here!

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.

Katlyn and the staff at the Grand Hotel made our day absolutely perfect. We had our ceremony on the Sundeck and there were dolphins jumping behind us as we got married. Our cocktail hour and reception were on the 5th floor penthouse. Many of our guests shared that it was the nicest venue they have been to. There are views of the ocean throughout the space. We had the most amazing day and Katlyn was key in making it happen!

Katlyn and her team are fantastic. They go above and beyond to make you feel special and prepare you for your big day. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is. If your looking for a beach wedding this is your spot. The views for our cocktail hour and reception were breathtaking. I will definitely be recommending The Grand Hotel for beach weddings. We love you!

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!

We chose the Grand Hotel for both our ceremony and reception and are so happy we did! Katlyn was the best. She helped every step of the way, made sure all emails and phone calls were answered immediately and was there the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly. The staff working our wedding were attentive and so helpful. All our guests RAVED about the food, the ballroom and hotel itself. We had our ceremony on the outdoor deck and reception on their 5th floor ballroom- if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. The Grand Hotel is the perfect wedding venue!
