From the reviews
We got married at The Fitzgerald on May 29, 2026 and it was truly one of the best days of our lives. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning but the amount of care, effort, and upkeep that the owners and management team put into maintaining this beautiful space is unmatched.
We were thrilled with our wedding day at The Fitzgerald! Lots of historical charm at a reasonable price. Exclusive catering and dj packages streamline what I imagine is usually a stressful part of planning.
My husband and I got married at The Fitzgerald in June of 2023 and it was a DREAM. We started working with Monique immediately after the venue changed ownership and she was a JOY to work with. Monique had answered ALL questions and overall eased my stress and worry about The Fitzgerald's transition.
The Fitzgerald was an absolute 5/5. My wife and I planned our wedding in three and a half short weeks and everything went perfectly to plan. From Monique (coordinator) helping out and being absolutely awesome to their in house caterer and DJ. The Fitzgerald itself is immaculate.
Getting married at The Fitzgerald | A Venue by The Pabst Theater Group
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
