From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Belle Vue Wilmington, we were impressed by their fantastic communication style. Ray was incredibly easy to work with, providing thorough and friendly guidance throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, his attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made the experience truly seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was simply stunning - a beautiful, intimate, and romantic space that felt so elegant and special. Ray is one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met, and he and the Belle Vue team made our wedding day a truly magical experience. I give Ray and Belle Vue 1000 stars and would recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat.

Our plates/flatware/cups are biodegradable (we do offer an eclectic mix of real wine/champagne glasses). No more 6 foot banquet tables. This venue is meant for social gatherings. Pave' is cocktail style so lounge if you like on the couch, hop up on a bar stool or stand and mix/mingle. We offer all the rentals.
