Chateau Del Mar

Love this venue! Their catering and sales team cater to your needs with a personal relationship, they truly care! As an event designer I appreciate this factor more than anything ! The venue has great large window out looking the golf course and has amazing natural light ! The food is delish and always look forward to an event there! Love this place !!!

Everything at Château Del Mar was great. Our original venue –coughLexingtonHousecough– Cancelled on us months before our wedding. We called Château Del Mar and they were soooo accommodating. The venue coordinators couldn’t have been nicer, the food was delicious, and the place looked beautiful. They even let us bring in our own craft beer (Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’) Honestly, the only thing that went wrong at all was that a few vegetarian/​gluten free meals didn’t get delivered to tables, but frankly, the whole day went so smoothly that that was negligible. Can’t recommend enough!

We had my brother’s wedding over the Aug 9 weekend. We had the henna party and the wedding in the same banquet. We were mostly via communication with Joyce who was beyond professional and only wanted to make us happy. This banquet does charge for everything and i mean everything (ie security guard, bridal room, bathroom surcharge) This would have gotten 5 stars if the banquet was cooler, it was quite warm and warmer in the lower level where the bride was. I do appreciate everything Joyce did for us, she was outside monitoring the staff and waitstaff making sure everything was in order. We really liked this venue because of her professionalism.

I had my wedding in the Barcelona room at Château del Mar. It is, by far, the biggest room I’ve ever been to for a wedding. I had 270 guests and it neither felt crowded nor sparse. The chandeliers are beautiful, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, and the food, although we had the basic wedding fare, was delicious the day of the event. The office ladies were wonderful to work with, always had a smile for my husband and I, and never seemed agitated at my many questions and requests. Always remember to ask for options or price adjustments, as they are very accommodating and want your event to be the way you’ve always dreamed of. The grounds outside of our reception room is the Hickory Hills golf course, and my pictures out there turned out gorgeous. We did have some party crashers, but in a venue with multiple party rooms, that may be unavoidable. I’d recommend this place to anyone, specifically the Barcelona room.

This was my first visit to the Château Del Mar. It was a company Christmas party for His job. We don’t usually go but I’m very glad we did this year. The atmosphere was festive and welcoming. The décor was fitting for Christmas, many lights, poinsettias, and garland. The staff was pleasant and helpful, a few non-​English speaking waitresses managed to get help interpreting requests and service was good. The food was family style and was decent. Not much for the non-​meat-​eater, I had bread, salad, mashed potatoes and vegetables. I didn’t need to add salt so I consider that a pass but still not enough of a real meal to judge the food quality for myself. He said it was average, not spectacular but good enough to go back if we were having a function… average banquet hall food. Basically, the Château Del Mar earns 4 stars because it’s clean with an attentive wait staff, decent food and appealing décor (hard not to be appealing at Christmas) and great acoustics for a proper DJ, which we had. Good times and wonderful memories can be made here.

My wedding was 7÷12÷2014. Throughout our journey with planning the wedding, Château Del Mar staff was a delight to work with. Everything was beautiful, despite the rain that day. The only thing I can say that the Del Mar should upgrade on is their food. The food was not good at all. Oh. the website should be upgraded to show how beautiful this place is! I guess I can look over it a bit because everything else turned out beautiful. Thanks Joyce and Château Del Mar for everything.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. I had my wedding here 10 years ago. But I still remember it and cringe. The staff was terrible, the planning people are a joke (hope they bought a computer by now). We had all kinds of wedding crashers from the other party. It was overall a very bad experience. Luckily my wedding was still a blast because of how happy I was, but I would NEVER and I mean NEVER give this place my business. BEWARE!!!

I love this place i had my wedding venue here july 26 2013 i love it it so gorgeous they help me alot the lady ushra i think she was great she helped me at all time and they made my day special my pictures came out so preatty i didnt had to waste any time goin anywere il post picture up so evryone can see i love this place went to see others but yhis was the best evrytime i walked in i fell more in love with it. BARCELONA ROOM IS THE BEST

So in searching for a wedding venue we decided to stop here because it was on the way to some place else. WHY did we do that. The lady who was there was rude. She claims she was the only one there so she couldn’t leave the front desk. she then just told us to walk around and see what we want. Then when walking around I was not at all impressed. The best part of our self guided tour was when we went downstairs to take my daughter to the bathroom. On the way out I noticed they have a fountain with all sorts of dead things floating in it.
This place will not make the list… They are on the bottom of the no pile.

Do not get married here. They just go through the motions with your wedding. They were great years ago when my cousin had her wedding here. The only positive is that the hall is nice, that’s it. Your room will hear the loud music from the other rooms, you’ll have party crashers from other weddings on your dance floor, the waitress’ will take forever to clean up all the dinner tables. The planning staff does the least amount of work to help you during the planning stages. The tasting was a joke along with the family style food served at dinner. Also, do not sign the contract that requires a minimum.

Château is a beautiful venue. I had my reception here and was in the Columbia Room. The ceilings and chandeliers are grand. Spiral staircase to restrooms are really nice, there’s elevator to accomadate those in wheelchair. Joyce, Osha, Venetia, all the banquet coordinaters, have been very helpful from the very beginning. Staff was friendly and dinner was served promptly. Received many compliments from my guests on how beautiful the venue is… and a few were not aware Château Del Mar even existed so thats why I’m writing review. Had a wonderful wedding here and highly recommend :)

This place is horrible! Why are all of the reviews filtered?

Don’t go here! Everything was great until the day of the wedding. Some of our guests didn’t have place settings and when they asked the woman in charge, she told them that they need to get paid first. We had paid for the reception and we ended up with and extra table of people that we would have settled up for when we got there but, we weren’t there yet. It was rude to tell the guests our business. They handled it all wrong. The entire table of guests got up and left cause they didn’t want to burden us on the day. When I got back from the honeymoon, I called to speak with the owner and he was a rude bastard. He had no respect for women and was completely derogatory. The place is amazingly beautiful, it’s a shame the service and the dimeanor of the owners was so bad.
