Delta Hotels Prince Edward

At Delta Hotels Prince Edward, a wedding takes in the Charlottetown harbour, with the water close by from the vows to the last dance.

The hotel sits on the waterfront in Charlottetown, and its event spaces carry a little of the island into the design, right down to new carpets patterned after the ebb and flow of the tides.

For the ceremony, an outdoor terrace on the water can host the vows or an open-air reception. Indoors, the Riverview rooms have tall windows that frame the harbour from floor to ceiling, and together they can seat up to 420 guests for dinner.

Larger celebrations have room to grow. The ballroom spans about 23,000 square feet with high ceilings and divides into six sections, and when fully open it can seat up to 1,440 guests at banquet tables. Smaller rooms suit rehearsal dinners and intimate gatherings.

The hotel's catering team builds a custom menu for each reception, from small plates to generous buffets, and wedding rentals cover the ceremony and reception setups, linens, chairs, tables and a dance floor. Certified wedding planners on staff can help with the budget, the menu, table settings and finding florists, photographers and entertainment.

Guests can stay right at the hotel. The Water's Edge restaurant serves seasonal dishes built around island farms and fisheries, and its bar and lounge is an easy spot for a drink before the celebration or a nightcap after.

For couples who picture a harbourfront ceremony and a lively reception in the heart of Charlottetown, Delta Hotels Prince Edward offers a wedding where the island's waterfront sets the scene.
