Q + A

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by September 26.

What is the venue’s address?

There are multiple addresses listed online for The Grand. Please use either: One Grand Boulevard, Point Clear, AL, 36564 or 17855 Scenic Hwy 98, Fairhope, Alabama 36532. You can also type in Grand Hotel Resort and Spa directly into your GPS.

How do I get to the ceremony location once I am on the property?

Once you enter The Grand, you will be directed to park in Special Events Parking, which is across from the Main Gate. Guests that park here can then either walk to the Main Entrance, or they can be shuttled over by golf cart. An additional option is to valet at the Main Entrance, which is $18 for day parking, or $32 for overnight parking. After you enter The Grand through the Main Lobby entrance, you will walk through the hotel and Bucky's Lounge (restaurant/ bar) will be on your left. You will then walk through Bucky's Lounge and be directed to the ceremony on The Grand Lawn outside.

I am coming from out of Town. Where should I stay?

Please reference the "Travel" tab of this website for nearby hotel options. However, you are welcome to stay wherever you would like! We have a limited room block available at the Grand Hotel, and the link is available under the "Travel" tab. There are Airbnb and VRBO options in Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Mobile as well.

What will the weather be like?

Welcome to Alabama for all of you out-of-staters! October is a wonderful time to travel to the Mobile area. We are hopeful that temperatures could remain upwards of 80 degrees during the day, but then they may cool off as low as mid 60's once the sun sets.

What should I wear?

Dress to impress in semi- formal attire! For men, we suggest a classic suit. For women, we suggest a cocktail, midi, or floor length dress. Our ceremony will take place outside with a short walk afterwards to the reception, so please be mindful when choosing footwear.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, and our reception will be indoors. The ceremony will be held on the Grand Lawn, and cocktail hour will be held just a short walk across the property to the Grand Ballroom Patio.

Who can I reach out to for questions?

Please feel free to reach out to Riley Ganus at 770-402-3630, or mother of the bride- Janene Ganus at 404-372-0770 for any questions that you may have!
