MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Surrounded by lush gardens, sprawling greens, and sparkling beaches, the Queen of the Gulf is the most pristine wedding venue in Galveston. Our special events team can take care of everything- from elegant centerpieces to gourmet catering and handcrafted cocktails. Rehearsal dinners, the wedding ceremony, the reception, or a formal seated dinner are specialties of the Grand Galvez.

Terrace & Veranda

The Terrace & Veranda (sold together and referred to as one space) are each 2,500 square feet separated by a line of French doors. In total, the ballroom is 5,000 square feet of space and can accommodate 300 guests for a seated dinner. The Veranda features floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the Gulf. Many years ago, the Terrace was once a popular nightclub, and the Veranda was open-air.
