Getting married at the Christiana Hilton was a great decision. We loved the smaller ballroom so we could have an intimate wedding. The ceremony space, ballroom and hotel in general was beautiful. The food was delicious and we keep getting compliments from our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and that food was awesome as well. It was so convenient to arrive Friday afternoon and not have to leave until Sunday. And Katie made it so much easier than I expected. I did not want a venue where I had to do all the work and Katie made it so I did the bare minimum a bride can do and still got a beautiful and personalized wedding. It was a perfect day and weekend!

The venue was absolutely beautiful, and our bartender was truly outstanding - the best I or any of my guests have ever experienced at a wedding! Huge shoutout to them for making the evening so memorable. The food was impeccable, and our tasting experience was divine. The staff also assisted with setup and takedown, which we really appreciated. However, communication with the venue team was challenging at times. There were many back-and-forth emails that could have been resolved quickly with a phone call, and response times were often slow, even after requesting callbacks. My cake topper was unfortunately broken at some point during cleanup and no one informed us, which was disappointing. We also encountered some issues with the sound system and couldn’t locate the venue’s point person, though thankfully it was resolved before our grand entrance. Overall, despite a few hiccups, the venue was stunning, the food and bar service were exceptional, and our guests had a wonderful time.

We got married at the end of May 2025 and had about 80 guests attend our wedding and welcome event both hosted by the Addy Sea, with about 30 family/friends staying with us at the Inn for the weekend. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. When we started looking, we didn’t want something that was just a beautiful place for a few hours for the ceremony/reception, we wanted a full weekend experience that felt like a beach getaway with our closest family and friends. That’s exactly what The Addy Sea gave us. The Inn and its rooms are absolutely stunning, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was how the team went above and beyond for us. About six weeks before the wedding, I was struggling to find a location for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party that matched my vision. The Addy Sea stepped in without hesitation to host, and it turned out perfect. I loved that our guests got a chance to experience the venue before the big day, which made everything feel even more special. The wedding day exceeded all my expectations. Even when hail started pouring down just two hours before the ceremony, Katie Duke and the Addy Sea team were right there, working their magic just like they had been all weekend. Their calm, professionalism, and attention to detail made everything come together perfectly, no matter what surprises came our way. A few highlights: The Addy Sea team brought us breakfast on the wedding morning, and we sat on the porch overlooking the ocean, reading our vows together - it was the perfect start to the day. Another favorite moment was when the team joined our guests for a conga line, bringing the best energy to the party. And after our afterparty, we came back to a sweet note with leftovers and treats for a late night snack. It was the perfect end to an amazing day. In the two months since our May wedding, everyone we talk to raves about our venue. They keep mentioning how beautiful, intimate, and welcoming it was, and we couldn’t agree more! Have your wedding at the Addy Sea, you wont regret it. Katie Duke is incredible as is the rest of the team!
