A Grand Setting for Your Delray Beach Wedding

Your wedding weekend begins after checking into your residential-style oceanfront villa. Pause for a quick champagne toast to your wedding weekend on the villa’s balcony and take in the sweeping views of the glittering Atlantic.

Head to the pool and sip a handcrafted tropical cocktail at Cascades Pool Bar before making your way to Drift for a romantic tête-a-tête, or invite your closest friends and family to enjoy the restaurant’s trademark charcuterie boards and shareable flatbreads.

Power up for the day with an iced latte or an Energizer Smoothie from the resort’s Beach Market Café and then head to the beach for a rejuvenating morning stroll under the Florida sun. Then it’s time to unwind before greeting your guests. At the newly designed, two-story holistic spa, you and yours will find a full menu of soul-soothing treatments, from marine- mineral salt scrubs and jade hot stone massages to Reiki and guided meditation.

After a brief ceremony rehearsal, kick off the celebration with a rehearsal dinner under the stars and twinkling lights on the outdoor Oceanfront Terrace, the perfect place to welcome your guests to Opal Grand. Afterwards, you can retreat to the villa for some much needed R&R, grab a nightcap at one of the resort’s stylish bars, or head out on the town – the hotel is in the heart of all the Delray Beach action.

The big day has arrived – and so have the jitters. Ease your anxiety by planning fun-filled activities for you and your party: yoga on the pool deck, a paddleboard session in the waves, or even a round of golf at one of the nearby courses. (Don’t forget to ask for a chef-packed picnic lunch to share!) Then it’s back to the villa to spoil yourself and your wedding party with in-room hair and makeup sessions.

You’ve spent a lifetime anticipating this moment, and now it’s here! It’s finally time to see your beloved for that life-altering first look, and there’s no better place at Opal Grand than in the lobby atrium, secreted away amid its tropical foliage and infinity fountain. After sharing this intimate moment with your partner, exchange your vows beneath swaying palms on the Oceanfront Terrace, where the Atlantic horizon stands in as a backdrop. Afterwards, your guests can mingle in the Seacrest Foyer while you head to the beach for a quick photo opp.

It’s time to celebrate the best day of your lives with the ones you love most, dancing the night away. If your guest list is long, there’ll be room for everyone in the resort’s stunning Seacrest Ballroom. With its 17-foot ceilings, glimmering chandeliers, and 8,000-plus square feet, it can accommodate up to 650 guests. Smaller affairs can make use of more intimate salons. The celebration doesn’t need to end when the last toast has been made and the cake has been cut, though – the Sea Breeze Room at the resort’s funky Monkey Bar is the perfect place for after-hours revelry.

You and your guests have so much to gush over after the magic of yesterday! Bask in the post-wedding bliss together with a catered brunch in the resort’s Coral Reef Ballroom, located just off the resort’s gorgeously renovated lobby. After reliving the moments that will last a lifetime, make new memories together while out and about on Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue.

The wedding weekend may be over, but that doesn’t mean that the festivities have to end. Extend your stay in Delray Beach and take advantage of the Opal Grand amenities you might not have had enough time for: lounging on a chaise on the beach, pedaling bikes through the streets of charming Delray Beach, exploring the nearby galleries and museums, paddling a kayak through the waves, or just relaxing in the sparkling pool, holding the hand of your forever travel partner.
