- Dawn RobersonDirector of CateringI have always had a passion for weddings and events. I take great satisfaction in seeing everyone happy and I am always grateful for the opportunity to make this happen. I enjoy connecting with my clients and I am truly dedicated to bringing unique ideas and consistent passion for every wedding or event I work on, by listening to clients’ needs and doing everything in my power to meet and surpass them. My favorite moment of an event is right when our couples see their event space(s) ready to go just prior to guests arrival. My favorite moment of a wedding is right before a couple walks down the aisle. Getting to witness the pure love and joy felt by a couple and their families on the wedding day is worth all the work that goes into making sure every detail is taken care of. It’s all about the smiles that radiate off their faces at the end of the day. When I’m not obsessing over weddings, I enjoy my front porch in Pungo, summers on the beach, family and friends.

We fell in love with the delta when we took a tour for a potential wedding venue. It was so beautiful and the access to the beach was a major plus. They had everything so the wedding could all be in one place from the ceremony to reception, food, and a place for guests to stay. We wanted a beach wedding and the Delta staff were so accommodating and made our vision come to life. The suites we stayed in were so nice and had so much space for the groomsmen got ready in. The bridesmaids got ready in the whitehurst suite and it had so much natural light for photos. Everything from the wedding to the reception went on with easy and the staff was very helpful during the whole day. Our wedding was so amazing and we cannot thank the Delta and the coordinator, Nicki, enough!

Having our wedding at the Delta Marriott on Shore Drive made all of our wedding dreams and wishes come true. From the gorgeous set up on the beach, to the beautiful ballroom, to the sunset photos taken by our family and friends I would highly recommend this venue to all engaged couples. Nicki, our hotel coordinator, was a huge help during the planning process and the entree sampling was a lot of fun! We can’t thank Nicki enough for making our wedding day so special and run so smoothly. Also, the food is incredible! I love everything about the Delta!!! :)

Overall, our wedding went great. Nicki was very nice. The food was good - I'd say one step above your typical wedding food. We really liked the spaces and the convenience of having our guests stay at the hotel. We chose ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour on the deck and reception inside the nice room overlooking the water. However, there were a few hiccups along the way that I felt could/should have been avoided and would have saved me some stress. Due to a chance in management, our Welcome Party (night before the wedding) space was double-booked, which we found out about only 2 weeks in advance. Additionally, I felt that the communication/organization/accommodation on a number of occasions could have been a bit better considering the majority of our wedding budget went to this one vendor for venue+catering.

Hi Alei & David! Your spring wedding was absolutely stunning - I loved all of your unique ...
decor and personal touches.
Thank you for your review! I'm so glad to hear that your wedding went great, and you enjoyed the food and the beautiful spaces. I apologize for the hiccups you experienced, including the double-booking of your Welcome Party and any issues with communication and organization. Your feedback is important, and we'll work to improve.
Best wishes in your married life!!

This venue was absolutely beautiful and the Event Coordinator, Nicki, was amazing. She was so helpful and responsive during the entire process! When we had to change plans last minute due to rain, she managed to make one of the extra ballrooms into the ceremony space of my dreams. The food was excellent and the location was perfect for all of our out of town guests!

Hi Nicole,
Your wedding was truly a dream, and I love how we transformed the indoor space ...
for you two. You are such a sweet couple, and I am so excited for your future together. Right when I met you, I knew that you were a perfect match and I'm so glad I was able to be there to witness you "tie the knot"! :) Congratulations again!

Nicki was a god-send. She was excellent at communicating; she made all of the payments and choices easy; and on the day of she did a wonderful job working with our wedding coordinator to rearrange decorations when inclement weather hit. We ended up loving the indoor ceremony more than we think we would have enjoyed the beach.
The venue itself is gorgeous, all of our guests reported having a wonderful; time and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out.

Your love for one another is so obvious and I knew a little inclement weather wouldn't distract you two from the reason why you were here - joining together in marriage!
Come by and see me soon!

My husband and I got married on 11/11/2023 and everything exceeded our expectations! I worked with Nicker Trainer and she is AMAZING! I planned the wedding in North Carolina, and Nicki guided me every step of the way. We really do appreciate working with Nicki and all of the staff at the Delta because they made this entire process so easy! Do not hesitate to have your wedding at the Delta! All of my guests truly enjoyed themselves, and they have all asked us to plan another wedding lol. We don’t know about that LOL, but, that speaks volumes about the venue, Nicki, and the staff!

Choosing a wedding venue as an out-of-state bride seemed like a daunting task, until I met Nicki - the Director of Catering. The Delta was one of the first venue's I had reached out to and after a brief correspondence with Nicki, I knew we had to have our wedding there. From day 1 of the planning process, I felt like I was the only bride that Nicki was working with. Her reassuring nature, quick correspondence, and overall genuine love for her job and bride satisfaction were key! As every bride knows, wedding planning can be extremely stressful. Nicki was able to help me feel at ease when it felt like stuff was hitting the fan.
As for The Delta itself, what an incredible venue to host a wedding. We had our ceremony on the beautifully combed beach, cocktail hour on the deck, and reception in the Sunset Ballroom that overlooked it all. The Whitehurst Suite (bridal getting-ready room) is an especially royal experience that myself and bridesmaids really enjoyed. Now, no wedding day is without a few hiccups, which we did experience with the Delta, but nothing so great that our wedding day was drastically altered. All inconveniences were addressed promptly by staff and taken care of appropriately. As an out of state bride, we also had several friends/family who booked rooms at The Delta. Overall, our guests were very complimentary of the rooms and other hotel amenities.
I'd recommend The Delta to anyone and can't wait to come back and visit!

Man, when we started our wedding vendor search right before COVID hit in 2019, we had one thing on our mind; we wanted to be married on the beach! Do you know how hard it is to have a beach wedding in in Virginia Beach, what with needing to have a permit to be married on a public beach, needing to come up with a separate back-up plan, in case of poor weather, and the separate fees you'd have to pay for chairs and arch rentals, not to mention figuring out parking for your guests?!? I was SO thankful that the Delta Hotels by Marriott was opening up four minutes from our home because they made planning a beach so effortless! Although their opening was delayed, and our original wedding date postponed, Dawn was my point-of-contact and a wealth of knowledge and information throughout our planning period! She gave me such confidence from the very beginning, starting with many e-mails answering my numerous questions (which spanned over the course of 2 1/2 years!). I don't know what I would have done without her! At the Delta, you'll have Dawn, who'll literally be there every step of the way answering any possible questions you have, and believe me, there will be many! She'll even go out of her way to find out ingredients used in the different meal options, if you have someone highly allergic to many random ingredients, and she'll do it without ever seeming like it's too much (although I do apologize for the countless inquiries I had for her! haha). At the Delta, you'll have the best view of the beach whether you choose to get married in the sand or the Dune Deck, and their reception hall overlooking the bay is breathtaking! Did I mention the beautiful room you get to stay in on your wedding night?!? It literally feels like a condo! I highly recommend upgrading to the full view of the bay! It's outstandingly beautiful! When my husband and I entered our hotel room for the night, we were greeted with a surprise gift from Dawn, that was oh-so-beautiful and appreciated! I feel like I have so much more I could say about the Delta and Dawn especially, but this is me trying to keep it brief! One last thing I need to mention though is the food is SO GOOD! You can't go wrong with any of the options! OH, also, the getting ready room, should you choose to use it, has makeup stations, couches, a balcony overlooking the bay, and SO MUCH space! I definitely recommend reserving the Whitehurst Suite for your girls to get ready in! PLEASE CHOOSE THE DELTA!! You will never regret it!

Dawn is AMAZING! She made everything so easy & made you feel so comfortable & confident that all details will be taken care of. The Delta hotel is a great venue for you and all your guests to 'park & play'! Everything is at your finger tips & make it so easy for the guests to relax and enjoy your event! I would recommend this venue to all brides looking in the Virginia Beach area.

I would highly recommend using the Delta for your wedding venue! The view, the venue, the staff and the hostess with the mostest, Dawn, did a fabulous job making our night magical. Knowing we had two extra options just in case the weather didn’t cooperate was such a piece of mind for everyone! Dawn helped us through the entire process and promptly answered any questions we had during the planning process. The day of our wedding was flawless- no really, it was! We owe many many thanks to everyone at the Delta!!!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. I am so thankful for being able to have my wedding here. The Whitehurst Suite was incredibly spacious and the perfect place to get ready with my bridesmaids.
Dawn is incredibly attentive and gets back to you with questions ASAP. She had everything set up so perfectly, that I have zero regrets about anything from my wedding.
The deck is the perfect place for cocktail hour and an awesome extra space during the reception with places for your guest to sir and chat.
The ballroom is beautiful and spacious. And has a beautiful view of Chicks Beach and the Chesapeake.
The food and bar package were affordable and the drinks were amazing and the food was incredibly delicious!
The ceremony, into cocktail hour into the reception went so smoothly there were no awkward pauses in between any of the portions of the event.
I could not recommend the Delta Hotel more for any bride looking for a beautiful wedding that is incredibly convenient at the same time.

Everything for our special day was perfect. The bridal ready room was amazing (Whitehurst Suite) - it had beautiful views of the bay and plenty of room for both prepping, dressing and eating. The deck was a lovely venue for our ceremony, and the reception room itself was fantastic. Food and beverage service was great. All of our guests had a fabulous time. The ability to host a wedding and then have our guests stay at the hotel made for a truly wonderful experience.
A HUGE shout out to Dawn R, the wedding event coordinator from the Delta. She was so wonderful to work with. She responded to our emails promptly and worked with us throughout the planning to ensure our wedding was perfect. There were no hiccups at all from start to finish - the entire planning process and event itself went flawlessly. Thank you Dawn for all you did to make our special day one we will never forget.

The Delta Virginia Beach executed our wedding flawlessly! Dawn Roberson, the Wedding Sales Manager was a pleasure to work with. She was on top of it which really helped since RSVP’s were changing just days before the wedding. She was present on the day of the wedding to ensure everything went smoothly. The staff at this hotel were so friendly and accommodating to us and our guests. The beach is so much more private compared to the main strip of Virginia Beach, perfect for a wedding!

We had the most amazing wedding reception at the Delta!! We used the Dune Deck for cocktail hour and the Sunset Ballroom for dinner/dancing. Our guests were blown away by the amazing hotel from the gorgeous views to the amazing service and the accommodations. We received so many compliments on everything! Dawn was such a helpful and organized resource to us in planning the day. She went above and beyond to bring our vision to life and worked so hard to put our minds at ease the day of. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple who is looking for a great venue with accommodations for your guests all in one place!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous and Dawn was AMAZING to work with! The venue was so accommodating and the Whitehurst (bridal) Suite is a MUST for all brides and their parties.
Our guests complimented the food and it was delicious!
From the food, the view, the night of the wedding’s complimentary night’s stay and room block, you can’t go wrong with Delta!
The only negative feedback we did have was the treatment we received from one of the night managers after the wedding was over and our wedding party re-entered from a beer run. My husband did not have a mask and the manager told him he had to leave and was very short-tempered.
Some of our guests also mentioned that the bartender we had for our event was rude when they came to order another drink (we purchased the open bar for this event- which was also very reasonably priced).
Aside from those small notes, this venue really was a treat and gave us the perfect wedding!
