“We had a dream wedding day at Villa Toscana. Everything was perfect and a wonderful experience and I was the princess for a day and all our guests. Adrian made everything so easy for us and was there with us every step of the way. From beginning to end he systematically removed any worries or concerns we may have had, most of them without us having to mention anything. The location, table arrangements and lighting were all beautiful and the house set up is perfect for getting ready and relaxing. We will never forget our dream day. A huge thank you to everyone involved.”

“Working with Pelican Club was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Courtney and Christina were incredibly helpful during the initial planning phase. We visited the venue multiple times—often bringing our parents when they were in town—and they always welcomed us warmly. Their vendor list and thoughtful advice made selecting our dream team so much easier. We chose not to hire a day‑of coordinator, and we are so glad we didn’t. Brittney was exceptional. She guided us through the rehearsal, handled all the setup of our décor items, and ensured the entire day ran smoothly. She coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors and made sure everyone had exactly what they needed. Our bridal attendant, Tequila, was the star of the show—our families are still raving about her. She was there the moment we needed anything: grabbing drinks, fixing dress zippers, adjusting veils, and packing up our belongings at the end of the night. Her presence made the day feel effortless. The entire Pelican Club staff, from the chef to the catering team, absolutely blew us away. The sea bass and steak duet was phenomenal, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the cocktail hour—from the raw bar and charcuterie to the Greek station and the incredible bartenders. Pelican also offered butler‑passed drinks as guests arrived before the ceremony, which was such a classy and memorable touch. Pelican Club is a well‑oiled machine, delivering elite professionalism and truly high‑end service. And of course, the view is unmatched—the best look at the Jupiter Lighthouse you could ever ask for. We couldn’t imagine a more beautiful, seamless, or joy‑filled wedding day. Pelican Club exceeded every expectation.”

The venue was beautiful, price was reasonable, and Kris was very professional and great to work with. It looked like it was going to rain during our outdoor ceremony and they adapted with ease. 10/10.”
