From the reviews
Beautiful Venue for celebrating any type of party this time we were invited to celebrate a Babyshower and all the service and food was beautiful. The Chateu Del Mar very fancy! .
Beautiful place to have a wedding or any type of celebration event. Dinner, drinks and dessert was so good!!!
Jones College Prep H.S. (Jones Commercial) held Class of 1985 40th H.S. Reunion here. I must say it was absolutely an amazing experience. The food was impeccable, drinks were excellent and staffing was incredible. They rolled out the red carpet for us Jonesites and we really appreciated it.
As a dj we need enough time to do our set up , here we have no problem to show up 3 or even 4 hours before the event and is a plus because we need to look profesional and everything should be ready before the guests arrive
Getting married at Chateau Del Mar
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Chateau Del Mar doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
Galas & corporate events at Chateau Del Mar
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Chateau Del Mar — castle venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
