The Pendennis Hotel was established in 1911, and had a very rich history before falling into disrepair. In 2003 the building was sold with the intention of restoring this beautiful river-facing property. It was once at the heart of Edmonton’s night life, known for amazing dinners and wonderful parties. We look forward to creating our own history in the building and re-imaging the space for today's Edmontonians and their weddings. About the Wedding Space The Ballroom can sit up to 150 guests for a seated dinner. With bright, natural light, dimmable chandeliers, and a wall of historic brick, this ballroom is perfect for wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate events, audience-style events like fashion shows, seminars, and more. Our south facing balcony boasts stunning views of the river, the Muttart Conservatory, four of Edmonton’s bridges including the LRT bridge, and views of Downtown. Perfect for a family birthday, baby shower, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, or any party, the view and the experience, is unbelievable. We offer three Wedding Packages to keep things simple: The Classic Wedding Package: Bring in all your dream furniture and decor and make the space your own (for up to 100 guests) The Platinum Wedding Package: Relax, let us take care of it, the 3rd floor is yours with the option to upgrade to the fourth floor for ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or whole day use. The Luxury Wedding Package: Third and Fourth floors, including the balcony, are yours, and there’s luxury in every detail.

The Perfect Venue: The Pendennis

We’re so glad we got to celebrate our wedding day at The Pendennis Weddings and Events. Elizabeth and her team are kind and really know how to execute an event. I appreciated the quick communication we consistently received. Our wedding day was lovely thanks to their team, (shoutout to MJ for being awesome) they truly executed our vision! And of course, the venue is simply stunning. It’s such a dynamic space, our guests couldn’t stop talking about it!

Absolutely amazing venue and team!

There are truly not enough amazing things to say about the Pendennis venue and team. We changed wedding venues with only 3 months to plan, and Elizabeth made the process seamless. She was so incredibly accommodating and the communication was fantastic. MJ (our coordinator for the day) was also amazing and such a pleasure to work with. The space was stunning and our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful all the different areas were.

Exceptional Service at The Pendennis Weddings!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, The Pendennis Weddings and Events went above and beyond for our wedding for the most beautiful stress free day I could have hoped for. We had come from another event company who told us 6 weeks before our wedding that our venue wouldn't be completed in time and we had to scramble to find somewhere available. I reached out to Elizabeth, who thankfully had our date available.
