When looking for a venue, my fiance has been very particular. She has a certain look and style she is going for and would not bend toward the typical ballroom venues, that are still beautiful but not her specific style. When she found Bellevue Hall, she took a tour while I was at work and all she could talk about was how much she couldn't wait to show me the place to see for myself. I trusted her gut and booked without even seeing the place until months later for our tasting. Let me tell you, the food was out of this world and the venue was even more beautiful. Not only did we get to choose our menu while sitting in a mock reception set up, there was so much that they offered at the tasting from all of the appetizer stations, dessert stations, and the sit down part of dinner. It ran like the actual reception and left nothing for our imagination. I was BLOWN away. The venue itself is really beautiful too. It is a very nice estate with beautiful grounds. If you're looking for an estate wedding, where guests can utilize the entire wedding and aren't forced to stay in one or two rooms the whole time, this place is a must for you. Our planner is also great and very responsive with emails and phone calls. They are very thorough about pricing too and offer a lot of incentives. We're excited about our wedding in a few months!

If you are planning a Delaware wedding, Bellevue is a must-see! The ceremony site has a big beautiful tree, a gazebo, and a long, dramatic bridal entrance. Your guests get to have cocktail hour inside the rooms of the estate and spilling out onto the patio. There is even a climate-controlled tent for an outdoor (but weather friendly) reception! What more could a wedding guest want?
Stunning wedding venue, excellent service

I have photographed multiple weddings at Bellevue Hall, and it is by far one of my favorite venues to work at! The property is gorgeous, the mansion makes such a stunning backdrop for getting-ready portraits and cocktail hour, and even the outdoor reception tent is beautiful! I love watching the horses frolic while the most stunning sunsets fall behind the reception tent. The venue and catering staff are the best in the industry and treat all couples, guests, and vendors like royalty. And the food is absolutely delicious! If you want to have a seamless wedding day where you are able to fully focus on celebrating with your loved ones, look no further!
Bellevue is Magical!

We could not have asked for a better experience at Bellevue. We knew Bellevue was perfect for us because the park held a lot of memories, and the mansion is so stunning and full of history. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and we loved that our cocktail hour could be inside and outside. The reception tent allows for you to see the park/greenery and horses, which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The food was great, and everyone loved the bartenders, and the fun surprise Barbie drink was so cute! We were so grateful for the cocktail hour food in the dressing room and the desserts ready at our sweetheart table. Also, the food wrapped up at the end of the night! Those were all very sweet touches! We truly appreciate all of the effort the team put into our day, it was so magical! Thank you!
