What our couples say 

My and my wife have been coming here for a while now and have always found it to be nothing short of exceptional. The staff are all lovely and welcoming, the food is excellent, cannot recommend enough. We were also lucky enough to have gotten married here this past August. Right from the beginning Lois and Lisa were incredibly helpful, communicative and overall excellent. We had the most amazing wedding and could not have asked for a more special day so tailored to exactly what we wanted. It’s without a doubt the best wedding venue in Whitby, no hidden charges, no add-ons that will bankrupt you and an excellent team of staff that work tirelessly to make your day special.

After getting married at Whitby registry office we celebrated at Hetty & Betty with fish and chip afternoon teas. Although we were only a small group Lois and the team made it super special and I can’t thank them enough! The food was delicious and we’ll definitely be back for another fish and chip afternoon tea.

Lois and the team made our dream wedding come true. From the initial contact in June to our wedding day in August everything was smooth sailing.
 
We enquired with Hetty and Betty in June as our original venue had let us down, and with only 3 months to go we were in a panic about changing venues but Lois and the team were amazing. From the 2 meetings we had everything was arranged and organised. When we arrived the day before to set up everyone was on hand to help and make the ballroom look how we envisioned.
 
On our day when we arrived we were greeted with congratulations and a glass of bubbly, we were able to relax and enjoy the day as everything was taken care of by the staff. They couldn’t have done any more for us and our guests. They went above and beyond to make sure our guests and us had a great day, made beautiful memories and even provided us with some beautiful photos to look back on. The food was amazing – from fish and chip afternoon tea to the buffet it was impeccable.
 
Our wedding day did not turn out like we originally planned, it was 100% better and that was because of Hetty and Betty. It has become our favourite place to visit and we will be popping in every time we are in Whitby!

Absolutely fantastic, we had our wedding reception here in the ballroom, Lois, Sarah, Dave and the team worked absolute miracles to make our day so special, the food was outstanding with our afternoon teas and cakes, the evening buffet was amazing, they all worked ever so hard and made ourselves and guests feel really special, couldn’t thank them enough and helped towards creating very special memories for us to cherish, would definitely recommend Hetty and Betty for any special occasion.
Lisa (Bride)

Friends wedding

Amazing place full of history, the food in my eyes was 10/10 the drinks was priced reasonable for a wedding and the service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. Next time I’m in Whitby I’ll be visiting the cafe which is down stairs as the food was that good. Lovely place lovely staff 🙂 highly recommended
