The Culinary Architects
Extraordinary events deserve extraordinary food.
More than simply providing a beautiful space for special events, the Pendennis has always been about creating extraordinary experiences and we are so excited to introduce the next evolution of our vision:
The Culinary Architects — our in-house catering division.
Designed to elevate every event hosted at The Pendennis, The Culinary Architects brings together exceptional culinary talent, thoughtful presentation, and seamless service to create food experiences that can add another dimension to any event.
From refined plated dinners to immersive tasting experiences, our culinary team approaches every menu first as an act of design. By crafting dishes in consultation with each client, we’re able to complement the occasion and add to the experience of the people gathered around the table.
Led by Head Chef Tamara Solon, a Red Seal Chef with more than a decade of culinary experience, The Culinary Architects delivers bold flavours, beautiful presentation, and thoughtful hospitality for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
Welcome to The Culinary Architects.
About the Building
The Pendennis is a hidden gem in the heart of Edmonton.
Filled with light, hidden nooks, gorgeous brick, and a view from every room, the Pendennis is a magical place to host a party. We specialize in weddings while also hosting everything from private parties to publicly ticketed events.
Our ballroom seats 140 for dinner, 175 audience style, 200 standing
Our balcony and fourth floor can seat 140, and up to 200 standing.
Thinking of an intimate 50th birthday party, a Sangeet, baby shower, DJ party, art or fashion show?
We’ve already run each of these and would love to welcome your guests for your event!
The third floor cocktail bar makes a wonderful space for an intimate gathering of 20 - 75 guests.
The fourth floor flex room is fabulous for an Annual General Meeting, as a breakout room, games room, or quiet room for 8 - 60 guests.
The balcony makes for an iconic outdoor dinner party or cocktail hour from 20 - 150 guests.
