    We had an amazing evening it was better than we imagined and that’s largely because of Ralph and the Whitby team, especially Niki and Rosa. Literally, everything was perfect!

    The communication from the Whitby Castle team was lacking and inconcise, which made some parts of the planning process more difficult than it needed to be. However, the venue itself was an excellent space for the value, and the facility was in good condition, though not exceptional. One highlight was that the set up and clean up went very smoothly, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. Overall, Whitby Castle provided a solid space for our wedding, though the customer service could have been better.

    My husband and I got married at Whitby on 11.8.2024 and it was a better day than I could have ever dreamed of! Whitby was the venue I had always dreamed of. It is absolutely stunning to begin with. The food was incredible across the board (highly recommend upgrading to the sushi chef for cocktail hour - my guests couldn't stop talking about it!) The entire staff was amazing to work with. Niki was so responsive to me while planning and always helped with every detail and Ralph made sure the entire day went off without a hitch. I could not recommend more. Multiple of our friends and family still keep telling us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to, and that is definitely because of Whitby!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Whitby Castle for our wedding that just took place in October! From the breathtaking architecture to the stunning golf course and water views, every detail of this venue is picture-perfect. The castle’s charm created an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony and reception, making our special day feel truly magical. The staff at Whitby Castle went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely made us feel like we were their top priority. We were so impressed by how seamless the entire day went, from the planning process to the actual event. The team was incredibly attentive by customizing our reception space to reflect our vision. Their attention to detail in every aspect, from the table settings to the lighting, made our special day feel uniquely ours. Our day-of coordinator worked with grace and precision, making sure everything unfolded effortlessly. We were also lucky to have a bridal attendant that ensured every detail was in place, and who was a lifesaver in every way—professional, calm, and always ready to lend a hand. The indoor spaces, with their rich history and elegant décor, perfectly complemented the outdoor beauty. We loved how the venue was versatile enough to host both our ceremony and reception in one place, while still offering distinct areas for guests to enjoy. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and exceptional service. The banquet team really made the meal feel like an experience, and we loved that the venue offers a variety of menu options, allowing us to personalize the dining experience for our guests. We couldn’t have imagined a more magical place to celebrate our wedding day. We truly felt like royalty celebrating in such a beautiful, historic venue. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and outstanding service, Whitby Castle is the perfect choice. Thank you to the Whitby Castle team for helping create the wedding of our dreams!
