Best Wedding Venue!

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!

Whitby Castle in Rye, NY is the absolute best & most perfect place for a wedding & we very highly recommend it as your wedding venue! We got married in March 2024 on a Saturday afternoon at Whitby & it was better than we ever could have imagined thanks to the breathtaking venue & all the amazing managers & staff. We looked at 10 wedding venues in Tri-state area before finding Whitby, & we knew we had to get married there the minute we saw it. First was the gorgeous castle & grounds (flawlessly manicured lawns on Rye Golf club & striking views of LI Sound), & how the venue provided accommodations for all weather types. Next was the wedding package, which included everything needed & was the best price for all options; we couldn’t find a better price anywhere. From our first meeting w/ Niki, the Catering Sales Manager at Whitby, we knew we made the right choice. Niki handled everything w/ the venue throughout the process, including catering, vendors, amenities & all options available through Whitby. Niki took the time to get to know us & thoroughly explained the numerous elements to consider when planning our wedding. She made us feel as if she genuinely cared about us & our wedding (because she did). We later met w/ the Ops Manager, Ralph, about 3 weeks before the wedding & he was just as awesome. Ralph had all the particulars laid out for every aspect of our wedding & provided a comprehensive timeline & wedding plan. Niki & Ralph were incredibly professional & knowledgeable, & also exceedingly responsive & accommodating. Weather was no concern on our wedding day because of how Whitby operates. They have complete & functional outdoor heating throughout the wraparound patio that hosted much of cocktail hour, despite it being high 50. We had wonderful sun on morning of our wedding, but it was windy & our ceremony would be on colder side in afternoon. We did not want our guests to sit in the cold, so we had an indoor wedding, & it was beyond stunning. The magnificent arch windows in the reception hall gave us astonishing light & scenic views for the ceremony. Regardless of weather, they set up for both options, to have our wedding inside or outside. We thought this was amazing considering how unpredictable weather can be. Some venues tend to have multiple weddings to maximize space, but we appreciated that Whitby treated us as the main event. In addition to astounding views & spectacular customer service, the entrées & various food courses were outstanding. I am not sure which our guests raved about more, the delectable food or marvelous views. We also have nothing but phenomenal things to say about Rosa, the bridal attendant at Whitby. Rosa was exceptionally attentive & helpful throughout the day. Niki, Ralph, Rosa, & our maître d', Gabriel, were all extremely organized & prepared for every scenario. There were so many moving parts & minute details involved in our wedding, but Gabriel was so on top of everything & made it a day to remember. The service was impeccable & all Whitby staff were tremendously kind & helpful. Nearly all our guests told us how it was not only the most beautiful & fun wedding they have ever been to, but the best party. Whitby gave us a wedding beyond our dreams. We couldn’t be happier w/ our wedding & we know it was all because of the venue & their fantastic team. We very highly recommend Whitby Castle as your wedding venue! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. David & Elissa Figueroa
