About

On WeddingWire since 2020

Bellevue Hall is the ideal choice for elegant, lavish wedding ceremonies and receptions or charming, intimate gatherings and rehearsal dinners. This stately mansion in Wilmington, Delaware provides a fairytale setting - towering column entrances, magnificent gardens, elaborate marble fireplaces, sophisticated wood-paneled library, and an enormous central foyer with its grand staircase. The venue also offers a state-of-the-art tent to seat 250.

Originally named, Woolton Hall, the building was completed in 1855 and occupied by several turn-of-the-century visionaries as they purchased summer or suburban homes soon after the 1838 completion of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railway. The duPont Family owned the property from 1893 and made several modifications along the way to eventually transform the space into a notable Greek Revival mansion which resembles Montpelier. It was purchased by The State of Delaware in 1976 and became the showpiece of Bellevue State Park; now managed exclusively by Jeffrey Miller Catering.

Beautiful Venue for a Beautiful Day

From the moment we visited Bellevue Hall the first time, we knew it was the perfect location to have our wedding. Their large tent was an absolute must for us and the grounds at Bellevue Hall and the park around it are all stunning. We've gotten so much support from the staff in preparing for our big day

Amazing venue! 10/10

Bellevue Hall was love at first sight for us. My fiance and I visited over 10 venues in DE and PA and without a doubt knew Bellevue was the one when we walked through it. The grounds are beautiful with a lush garden highlighting the perimeter of the ceremony sight, the inside of the mansion has an attention to detail that will blow you away, and the new tent they have built is lined in dreamy string lighting and provides an open-air experience for guests! We really loved it all. One of the biggest selling points for us was the ability to rent the mansion for the whole day and not have to travel from place to place. We wanted our wedding day to feel like an experience for the bridal party as well as for the guests and that is what Bellevue is giving us! We cannot wait to get married there in 2023 :)

We are getting married at Bellevue Hall in September and can't wait! When looking for a venue, I knew I wanted a tent and good food and this was the perfect fit! Veronica is our planner and has been so helpful with every question we've had and in executing our vision. We are so excited for our big day so soon!!
