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?

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!

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!
