We haven’t been here yet but one of their Google profile reviews mentions: “Classy and elegant venue. - The staff were highly professional, accommodating and attentive. We had to post pone three times due to the Pandemic and they graciously updated our plans each time. The Pendray Inn is so beautiful, we did not have to decorate; it was the perfect location for us. We had an incredible stay!”

Price Range: Starting at $125 per person for wedding packages.

Again we also haven’t been to this venue yet so here’s a recent Google review: “Beautiful Venue for a Wedding Reception - We recently had our wedding at the Delta, and it was a wonderful experience. The venue itself is beautiful. The large windows of the Harbour Room allowed us to dine with the beautiful Inner Harbour as a backdrop. It also allowed for our attendees to easily enjoy the evening inside and outside on the harbour walk. The Saxe Pointe Buffet was delicious, with the meat cooked to perfection and well seasoned sides. It also contained a selection of tasty desserts. The late-night snack was equally delicious, allowing for a tasty comfort food element while taking special dietary restrictions into account. The bar staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They made a wide variety of acholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and were a hit with the guests.

The event coordinators that we worked with, Julianna and Mairin, were fantastic. They were more than happy to take time out of their busy schedules to walk us through the space, both virtually and physically. Julianna was particularly flexible, and her team was accommodating and friendly. She helped us print special menus in multiple languages so that all guests felt included in the dinner. There were a couple facilities issues. First, music from the room above randomly played through the speakers of our room, interrupting speeches. Second, the dance floor had noticeable gaps between panes, big enough for a high-heel or toe to get caught in. These were minor issues, and more to do with their AV contractors than the Delta itself.”

Recent review: Amazing venue - We had our wedding there on July.14th and it was everything we could have dreamed of. Megan was the event coordinator and was like a built in wedding planner as well! The venue is naturally decorated and the scenery is stunning. You can do any style wedding from small elopement, to medium size party to huge wedding and reception. Highly recommended.

Reviews/comments: We had our wedding at Hatley Castle and have had nothing but positive feedback from all our guests and vendors. It was such a beautiful site and dealing with the on-site coordinator was great...she was especially helpful at our rehearsal and explained where to stand, where to walk and how the logistics would all work out. I would highly recommend Hatley Castle to anyone who wants a fairy tale wedding!
