Emerald Grande at Harborwalk

The Emerald Grande is the most beautiful place for a wedding in the area! The Captain's deck was gorgeous! The reception was GREAT! I am very pleased with our day! It was everything I dreamed of but much more! The view is spectacular!!! No need to over decorate, the scenery is enough!

The Emerald Grande is absolutely the BEST place to get married! We loved it and even though we were not able to get married on the Captain's Deck because of rain, they were very accomidating and picked a wonderful back-up plan for us which was equally amazing!

Dont get me wrong, the place is GORGEOUS! You will absolutely fall in love with it when you go. The wedding deck views are to die for and the place is top of the line. The reason for the 2 out of 5? Ask anyone, the communication and professionalism with the catering manager and special events staff is HORRIBLE. They took days or sometimes a week to return any phone calls or emails even when i was trying to pay them my final payment. They are unorganized and act like they dont need the business. For the hefty price you pay to have a wedding there you think they would treat you like a queen. Again, the place is beautiful but if you want to be taken care of and handled professionally this is SO not the place to go..

Beautiful venue if you are looking to still have a semi-formal wedding near the water, but not on the beach. I recently got married on their Captain's deck and it was a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony. All of my guests were happy with the location to the Harborwalk area and other great restaurants as well as their heated pool and private beach area.

As for the Catering Director they had onsite, she was very slow to respond back to me at the beginning of the process which was frustrating at times. However, their staff did a great job helping me coordinate the last few days which was much needed since I was planning everything.

Overall, I would highly recommend this venue for a bride who is looking for gorgeous views of the Harbor, excellent food, and location. It is pricey so be ready to spend a decent amount and you need to be patient when working with the Catering Director, but other than that it was a great place to get married at.

Emerald Grande was absolutely beautiful! We were very pleased with our reception venue and all of our guests were blown away by the hotel and the beautiful view of the Harbor. The only minor issue was the food during the reception. My initial family members were the last to get fed, and they had to eat a plate of food that they had not ordered because the staff ran out of what was initially ordered. I guess some guests might have changed their minds on what they wanted to eat, not sure. But the food was very good and the ballroom was awesome. Their upper deck and winding staircases were perfect for photos! It was amazing! :) Overall, we're really pleased that we chose the Emerald Grande at Harborwalk and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for an awesome ceremony or reception venue!

Awesome to work with Jackie & Emerald Grande! Beautiful site for ceremony & reception and Jackie will do anything to make the bride & groom happy!

This is a beautiful place t ohave a wedding. However the lines of communication were one way. As a bride and groom, we expected the lines to be open and full of chatter. We would send emails to our director, and never receive a response. Caterering must be done through this organization. THe selections were great, however a bit pricey. Be careful! It will be a beautiful day, but your pockets may hurt afterward

The most beautiful background for an outdoor wedding! Also a fun place to stay for guests. Had some trouble with scheduling extra parties like rehearsal practice. Also there is a fee for everthing, including taking a boat to the beach to get pictures made. The boat is free during the day if you are staying there, but not if you are havng your wedding there. You must use their caterers. The food is amazing! The night went perfect! The scenery couldn't be more amazing! The only problem is that they will schedule 5 weddings in one weekend. You aren't top priority. If I could do it again, I would do it the same!

We had our ceremony here. It was BEAUTIFUL! We wanted a beach wedding, but without the sand, so we had to find a place with an open deck with a great view. and this was the place! The deck is large enough to hole up to 200 people, so it would be great for a large or small wedding (like ours). Decorative black and white lighthouse is right off the deck, which makes for amazing pictures and so does the beautiful staircase leading down the the deck.
