Our wedding was spectacular!!

I married the love of my life there in November. Everyone says how stressful wedding planning is, but that wasn't my experience at all. NOT. AT. ALL!! Sharon, Porsha and Noel are worth their weight in platinum (they've already surpassed the gold standard).

Venue- it's lovely and wild. Try to have a late spring, early summer or early fall wedding or event there if you want romantic rustic outdoor ceremony. The chuppah/gazebo sits off the area of an overgrown golf course so the backdrop is beautiful and you can have your florist (or family if you're doing a more DIY) add even more flowers. Inside? Well, it's classic elegance. The venue has its own linens, cutlery, table settings, center pieces, lighting and floor lighting (additional costs, of course) and catering. There are plenty of bathrooms. It is easy to navigate in and out of the venue for those with mobility issues (there were wide spaces for those to turn around if they had assistive devices). The front is a lovely colonial brick and there's settings all around for photos.

Food and bar - we selected a menu for happy hour and buffet dinner that included several hors d'eouvres/charcuterie, starter salad, three entrees, three sides (one side served as actually our vegetarian entree option [not vegan - but their chef can also offer that]), bread, tea/ lemonade. The bar was well stocked and if you wish, they can add additional liquors (at a very reasonable price).

Service - full disclosure - my mother (I'm the bride) was the planner, financier, and contributor. She worked closely and very well with Sharon and Porsha. So much so, I did not need a day of planner. They are very forthcoming with everything (costs, expectations, timeliness). They are also kind and respectful. They recognize and respect the breadth of religions and non-religions and have made a space that everyone feels welcome in.

Amazing experience

Let me say, that everything was perfect!!!! They truly made our wedding day a dream come true!!! Very very nice and welcoming. Sharon did amazing. She was in boss mode the whole time and made sure we were taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding at. Her husband Noel was so sweet and drinks were on point!!!! The food AMAZING!!!!! Deliciousness with every bite we took! 10/10 recommendation for anyone who is looking for a wedding venue! The fun part was that they do everything from decorations to the day of coordinator and the catering!! One stop shop! We are extremely happy and satisfied with the outcome of our wedding!!!!

Amazing start to our "Happily Ever After"

I can't express enough how grateful we are to have chosen The Royal Courtyard at West Neck Event Venue as our wedding venue! The venue is breathtaking and checks off all the boxes needs for a beautiful event. The owners and staff were extremely professional, friendly and efficient. Our day was stress free and our guests raved about both the venue the delicious food. Sharon and my planner Ellen were the "A" team!

Exceptional. No one does it like the Royal courtyard. Beautiful Private Venue, delicious food and professional from day 1.

They made the planning process seamless. We had last minute changes and they accommodated our ceremony as well as reception. They truly capture exactly what your dream is and turn it into a reality. Our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. Thank You

Royal Courtyard at West Neck is TOP NOTCH!

The Royal Courtyard at West Neck was a perfect location for our wedding. My husband and I toured this venue in late August and were married in mid-December. Some people may think it is crazy to plan a wedding in 4 months, but Sharon and Noel offer a one stop shop for your ceremony and reception dreams. From the moment we walked in and met Sharon, her dedication and pride of her work shined. Not only do they offer onsite catering services, fully stocked bar, but they also offer onsite decorations. This was one of the deciding factors of choosing to have our wedding here. The newly renovated venue gives the "WOW factor" as soon as you walk in. Sharon helped with every detail to make sure our day ran smoothly. Our guests still talk about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and I'm so thankful that Sharon and Noel are part of our story. Consider having your wedding at this venue, you will NOT be disappointed! The owners will do everything for you to make sure you have the day you've always imagined. I can't thank Sharon and Noel enough for everything they did for us.

Look No Further!!!

The Royal Courtyard is THE PLACE to host your event! From the wonderful staff that treats you like family, to the amazing food, and beautiful decor! This venue is a hidden gem in Hampton Roads. Look no further when in search of a venue for your next event. I hosted my engagement party in February and everything was superb!

Amazing venue!

I had my wedding at this venue and have been to several events here such as engagement parties, a breast cancer event, etc. Every event I’ve been to was top notch. The food was prepared expertly and was delicious. The owners and staff are very professional and accommodating. They ensure that your event is everything that you hope for. The venue is spacious and clean with plenty of parking. If you are looking for an accommodating venue that is a great value, look no further!

Thank you Noel and Sharon for everything!
