“Hockessin Memorial Hall was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Sara and the team were hands-on throughout the entire process, making sure every detail was just right, and their communication was punctual and direct. The venue itself is beautiful, and our guests could not stop raving about the food—honestly, it was some of the best we've ever had at a wedding. For the price, the value was excellent and everything felt premium without breaking the bank. We've already recommended the hall to several friends because we know they'll have the same incredible experience we did. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to make our day special.”

Our lavish cannoli concierge service is perfect for weddings, backyard birthdays, holiday parties, corporate events, and more!

“Such a Fun Addition to Our Wedding!! My mom surprise booked Don Cannoli for our wedding and I am SO happy she did because WOW, our guests absolutely loved him!! He walked around the reception dancing, handing out cannolis, and just making everyone happy. It was so fun watching people react to him, and he brought such a great energy to the night. It wasn’t just dessert, it was genuinely part of the entertainment! And most importantly... the cannolis were SOOOOO GOOD. We didn’t have a traditional wedding cake, so having Don Cannoli was such a perfect and unique way to add another dessert option while also giving our guests a fun experience. I would 100% recommend him, especially if you’re like us and want something a little different from the typical wedding dessert or even a a fun addition to your wedding! Delicious cannolis AND an entertaining guy walking around your reception handing them out?? What more could you want!!! So AWESOME”

“We enjoyed a picture-perfect wedding in June 2025 at Deerfield! The staff, particularly Lizette and our day-of coordinator Ryan, were instrumental in making sure our day was a success. We were sent a list of vendors that had experience working at Deerfield, which we felt was a huge aid in narrowing down our choices. You aren’t required to use these vendors (photographer, videographer, DJ, florist, bakery, etc) but we felt it was definitely helpful. We used recommendations from this list for all vendors and were very happy with the outcome! We note that you do have to use the in-house catering service but you are given a lot of freedom in the plates you serve with some customization from the ‘default’ plates, and we had a lot of fun attending the menu tasting a few months before the big day. We chose the champagne chicken and filet mignon as our two main entrees; you are also given a third entree option to offer your guests with dietary restrictions. The venue is gorgeous - we toured it on a gross spring morning in the pouring rain and even then there was ample natural light in all of the spaces. The views of the golf course at sunset are incredible and the space really lights up after dark, with the fountain and patio also open for guests. We are so happy to have had our wedding at Deerfield and can’t recommend it enough!”

“CT Artistry was a wonderful beauty professional for my wedding day. Communication with them was great - they were down to earth and enjoyable to chat with, always having an answer for my questions. The quality of their work and value was awesome - all my bridesmaids loved the style and application. CT Artistry brought a happy, fun vibe while making us look naturally beautiful. Their talents contributed smiles and confidence as we commemorated the special day.”

“I would tell everyone getting married to do it at the Hilton! Katie was so much help and the absolute best ever. She knows her stuff, is professional, and gets the job done. The night of my wedding they even made sure my 2 year old and babysitter were fed. They took care of so much making my day way less stressful. I am forever grateful for them and how perfect my big day turned out!”

“Arlethea was super sweet and accommodating. My schedule was hectic and it was difficult for me to lock in a tasting date and time. She boxed the food up and dropped it off right to our home! Above and beyond expectations. The food was delicious. All the wedding guests loved the food, but specifically the appetizers. We chose the mini tacos, cheeseburger egg rolls, and spinach cheese puffs. My favorite item was the salmon entree. There was one slight miscommunication about us wanting a cupcake tower. She did not bring one, but once again Arlethea went above and beyond and got us cupcakes the day of the wedding! I highly recommend their services for any and all catering events! Thank you for making our special day seamless and stress free.”

“Where do I even start? Riverfront Events is, without a doubt, the best event planning company I’ve ever worked with.
