Description
The most unforgettable weddings aren't defined by a single moment, they're remembered for the entire experience.
At Retro Suites Hotel, your celebration begins long before you walk down the aisle and continues well after the last dance. Welcome your loved ones to one of our forty-five individually themed boutique guest suites, gather for a rehearsal dinner at Suite 46 Restaurant, celebrate in our Derby Event Centre, and wake up together the next morning for a farewell brunch or breakfast. Here, your wedding isn't confined to a few hours; it becomes an unforgettable weekend shared with the people who matter most.
Designed within the walls of a beautifully restored historic building, Retro Suites Hotel offers a setting unlike any other in Chatham-Kent. From thoughtfully designed guest suites and exceptional dining to distinctive ceremony and reception spaces, every corner of the hotel has its own unique character, creating beautiful backdrops for your photographs and lasting memories for your guests.

- KKeileigh Robinson30/01/2024Everyone raved about the food Everyone raved about the foodMy new husband and I just had our wedding here this past Saturday (August 12th) in the Derby Room and oh my gosh…. we had the best weekend of our lives. We first had our rehearsal with our family and bridal party on Friday, They coordinated the entire rehearsal for us and accommodated our needs all night. The ceremony went very smoothly, we had our room flipped into the reception and the doors opened right on time. Everyone raved about the food that the chilled cork catered.My new husband and I just had our wedding here this past Saturday (August 12th) in the Derby Room and oh my gosh…. we had the best weekend of our lives.

- JJim Smithe30/01/2024Wonderful venue for a wedding!Wonderful venue for a wedding!Great decorations throughout the hotel. Each room has its own theme. Scope out the room for a theme you like. Ours had very little closet space and not much drawer space either. Friends had tons of storage space in their rooms. Wonderful venue for a wedding!Great decorations throughout the hotel.
