Best venue ever!!!!
I have nothing but positive things to say about The Gala! From start to finish everything was flawless. Whether you want extravagance or simplicity, this is the venue for you. Amberley and her team are so knowledgeable and coordinated the best day of our lives in a way that’s better than we could ever imagined! If there were problems that arose day of, I was none the wiser. They handled the whole day perfectly. There was so much already included in the price of the venue that we barely had to think about all those little details that some couples scramble for in the last stages of planning. The food and drinks are also AMAZING!! And for the price? It’s unbeatable. You will not find a better venue in Virginia Beach. All the luxury without breaking the bank! We got married 6/20/2025 and will be dreaming about that day for years to come Thank you Gala!!!!

The gala was absolutely amazing to work with! The staff is amazing, the food is so good and all of our details came together perfectly for our big day! Having a day of coordinator provided in house made me feel so stress free and I knew they’d be able to handle anything! They are also so helpful throughout the planning process, I was never stressed. 10/10 recommend!
Stunning Venue with a Dedicated Team
We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!
The perfect day!!
The gala went above and beyond for my wedding and I recommend it to anyone getting married in the area. Food was great, staff was great, and it’s a gorgeous location!
