A Sophisticated Wedding Venue in the Heart of Northamptonshire
Set just off the A45 and minutes from the M1 (Junction 15), Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton offers a seamless combination of accessibility, modern design, and elegant surroundings. This stylish 4-star hotel has earned its reputation as one of Northamptonshire’s most desirable wedding venues — ideal for couples who want the sophistication of a city hotel with the tranquillity of landscaped countryside.
The hotel’s Delapre Room is its signature space — a striking octagonal-shaped suite that offers panoramic views of the gardens and patio. It’s a setting that feels bright, open, and full of character — a rare find among modern hotels. The adjoining patio and grounds create the perfect backdrop for drinks receptions and wedding photography, making it easy to flow from ceremony to celebration.
Ceremonies and Receptions Tailored to You
Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand reception, Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton provides a space that adapts beautifully to your style. The Delapre Room comfortably seats up to 160 guests for dining and 200 for evening receptions, with layout flexibility and elegant neutral décor that allows for endless personalisation.
Couples can host their civil ceremony, wedding breakfast, and evening party all under one roof, with dedicated areas for each part of the day. Large windows flood the room with natural light by day, while subtle lighting options create a warm and romantic ambience in the evening.
The in-house wedding coordinators work closely with each couple to create bespoke packages, offering everything from traditional full-day celebrations to more intimate twilight weddings. Their goal is simple — to make your day entirely unique to you.
Catering, Dining, and Wedding Packages
When it comes to catering, Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton has an excellent reputation. From beautifully presented canapés to indulgent wedding breakfasts, the hotel’s chefs craft menus that reflect both creativity and flavour.
Their wedding packages range from £4,000 to £8,000 for venue hire or £50 to £150 per guest depending on menu choices and extras. You can expect:
A delicious multi-course wedding breakfast
Evening buffet options like chip and dip bars and bacon rolls
A dedicated wedding coordinator throughout your planning journey
Access to private outdoor space for drinks and photos
For couples who prefer to bring their own cultural or specialist cuisine, external catering is permitted, with a corkage option for those who wish to provide their own alcohol — offering even more flexibility.
Luxury Accommodation and Facilities
After the celebrations, couples can unwind in the Premier King Honeymoon Suite, complete with a sunken double whirlpool bath — the perfect romantic end to the perfect day. The hotel also features numerous comfortable bedrooms for guests, allowing family and friends to stay on-site and enjoy the wedding weekend to the fullest.
Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton offers all the comforts you’d expect from a 4-star hotel, including:
Modern, air-conditioned bedrooms
An elegant bar and restaurant
Landscaped gardens for photography and outdoor receptions
Ample on-site parking and accessible facilities
The Staff and Service
If there’s one thing that truly defines this venue, it’s the exceptional service. Reviews consistently praise the professional, friendly, and accommodating staff, who go above and beyond to make each couple’s day special. From early planning meetings to the final farewell, the Marriott team — including dedicated staff members like Jordan and Louise, mentioned by many past guests — are known for their warmth, precision, and expertise.
TripAdvisor reviewers describe the experience as “beyond expectations” and “treated like royalty,” with compliments on both the food and organisation. One bride shared, “Our wedding was just perfect — the breakfast was amazing, the staff were wonderful, and every guest said how special the day felt.”
DJ Reviews of Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton
As a professional DJ, I always look at a venue from both an entertainment and logistics point of view — and the Marriott Northampton is a solid all-rounder for wedding receptions.
Here’s a summary of professional DJ feedback (sourced from NeedADisco.com and my own experience working at Marriott venues):
Sound & Power: Plenty of easily accessible 13A sockets around the setup area, and no sound limiter — which is always a bonus for maintaining atmosphere without interruptions.
Lighting: The in-house lighting is limited, so mobile DJs should bring their own setup to create a more dynamic party environment.
Room Layout: The Delapre Room is a comfortable size, but because it’s octagonal, positioning the DJ rig strategically helps balance sound coverage.
Access: There are two main load-in routes — one through the reception/bar (shorter but trickier), and one via the rear path (easier if the gate by the lake is open). Either way, allow a few extra minutes for setup.
Parking: Plenty of free on-site parking after unloading, which is always appreciated.
Atmosphere: With blinds and curtains provided, the room darkens nicely for evening lighting — ideal for setting the mood during first dances or high-energy dance sets.
Staff: Exceptionally friendly and helpful. The events team are easy to work with, keeping communication smooth throughout setup and performance.
Summary:A very good venue for DJs and evening entertainment — great staff, good access (once you know the route), and a space that works well for both intimate and lively receptions. Just bring your own lighting for the best effect.
