Wow, what a great experience from start to finish! We’re so glad we chose to host our wedding at Hotel Viking. Everyone at Hotel Viking was respectful, kind, and professional with every interaction. We held our wedding ceremony in Kay Chapel, which is a nondenominational chapel now owned by the hotel. It was beautiful. We then had our cocktail hour in the Thames Room and our reception in Bellevue Ballroom. Linda from Hotel Viking answered every question, accommodated every special request, and supported us the whole way through. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisle, I was psyched to have her nearby. All of our guests LOVED the food and expressed that the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My husband and I had a blast and felt like it was truly our dream wedding. Guests had a blast, too. The bridal party had an enormous suite to get ready in and it allowed the hair and makeup to spread out and still left room for the girls to gather, take photos, eat, drink, and lounge. We definitely recommend Hotel Viking!
