If your planning on having over 250 guest this is the place to have your event. I had 275 guest for my wedding and we got the largest room the Barcelona. The venue is already decorated with beautiful decorations and amazing chandeliers throughout the halls. The price is just perfect as you will not be able to find another venue for the price. The workers helped me throughout the planning and I was able to set up the night before as no one had rented the room. All my guest were in aww and couldnt stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. We upgraded to the premium liquor package which included top shelf patron, Hennessy, etc. Everything was just perfect!

This was the most amazing and perfect venue for our wedding, it looked gorgeous when we got there, my husband insisted that we still look around for more venue to make sure this is the right venue for us, so after looking around, I knew that Chateau Del Mar was right for us. Arusha was amazing and helped us thru every step of the way from matching our chair covers to or exact wedding colors to helping us with our floor plan. I would definitely recommend this venue and will do business there again. Thanks so much Chateau Del Mar for everything, our family and friends can't stop talking about it!!!!

What an absolutely amazing vendor to work with not to mention the breath taking facility and golf course! We had our big traditional Polish wedding, with 410 guests on September 10, 2016 at Chateau Del Mar. The menu we chose was plated Filet Mignon, Chicken breast with gravy, rice, double baked potato and medley veggies. Prior to our meal we had mushroom soup and garden salad. Our coordinating manager Joyce was so wonderful to work with and was always so accommodating from vodka bottles, shot glasses, and two types of soda on the tables to allowing us to have our own liquor, sweets and traditional Polish appetizer tables. All table covers and napkins were ordered through the banquet hall and came together beautifully, This place was everything that my husband and I have ever dreamed of for our special day. If we were to do it all again we would do it in a heart beat using all of the same vendors. A+++ all around.

Chateau Del Mar is a beautiful place to have a wedding. From the time of booking this venue, I have nothing but great things to say about the office staff. Both Joyce's were wonderful to work with. Even though, it rained on my wedding (7/12/2014). We had the ceremony inside versus the outdoor area. Everything turned out beautifully. The ONLY complaint I have is the quality of the food could be a lot better. I wasn't to please with it.

I had my wedding in the Barcelona room at Chateau 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.
