We encourage fun cocktail attire for the Welcome Drinks Friday evening and formal attire (black tie recommended but not required!) for the Ceremony and Reception Saturday evening. A warm layer is also recommended for cooler temps at night - it can be windy on the point.
Will the events take place indoors or outdoors?
Friday's Welcome Cocktails will include indoor and outdoor space.
Saturday's Ceremony and Reception will take place outdoors (weather permitting, of course!).
Are children invited?
We love your children, but we would appreciate adults only attending the wedding festivities.
May I bring a date?
Please check your invitation for a +1!
What's the weather in spring?
Spring usually is mild with highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s. Plan for cooler temps at night - we'll be outside on the water, and the wind can pick up quickly!
Is parking available at the venue?
Yes, day parking is available at The Grand for no fee.
Overnight valet parking fee for hotel guests is $32.00 per night ($18 for Bonvoy Elite Members). Day valet parking is available for $18 for guests not staying with the hotel. Self-parking fee is included in the resort fee.
Is airport transportation available?
The Grand Hotel provides shuttle service to and from the Mobile and Pensacola airports, as well as around in the local area, based upon availability. Reservations are required and can be made by emailing Transportation@grand1847.com. Please note airport reservations must be made by February 2, 2024.
For others, rental cars as well as ride-share services are available.
What's the best route to take from the airport?
We recommend checking GPS for the drive and taking the Scenic Hwy 98 route! From Pensacola or Mobile, take I-10 to Hwy 98 along the coast. The route is not any longer than the other routes, but it is more scenic and has more options for food and other stops along the way.
How do I get to the Wash House for Welcome Cocktails?
There will be a trolley shuttle service available from the Grand. Pickup will be by the valet stand. The shuttle will begin running around 7:45pm and continue round trips until about 8:15pm. Return trips to the Grand will begin around 9:30pm with the last shuttle leaving the Wash House at 10:00pm. Please note parking is available but very limited at the Wash House, so we recommend leaving from the Grand and taking the trolley!
