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.

My dream wedding venue

I couldn’t have picked a more gorgeous venue for my wedding! I had my wedding 2/14/25 and it was the best decision. I still have family talking about how beautiful my wedding was & the food! As soon as I walked up for the tour I knew this was “the one”. The mansion is so unique & beautiful that still carries a lot of history. The bride’s suite is the perfect size & had our own makeup vanities while the grooms had their own suite with pool table and enough space to relax & get ready. We had our reception in the tent & it looked amazing and elegant. It was beyond my expectations for my wedding! I want to point out our coordinator, Susan D., was our angel! She ran the day so smoothly and made sure everything went perfect and communicated to us all day of what was next. She answered ANY/ALL of our questions the months leading up to our wedding date and explained things thoroughly. I will give all the credit to Susan for making my wedding day perfect, I can’t thank her enough. Our tasting went fantastic we enjoyed all the food that was presented to us & on the day of our wedding everyone LOVED their plates. We still have people talk about the food from our wedding to this day, you can taste the quality & freshness of the food! I would absolutely recommend anyone to book their wedding here. It was the perfect day I had always envisioned.

Amazing Venue

We are so excited to have our wedding at Bellevue Hall! We love how the different spaces flow together - from the delightful gardens, lovely mansion with DuPont history inside, and the charming permanent tent. As a nice bonus, choosing Bellevue Hall as our venue also supports Delaware State Parks!

Wonderful Venue!

Bellevue Hall is an extraordinary wedding venue, and we are so excited to have our wedding there! The staff have been incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that all details are addressed. The gardens for the ceremony are absolutely gorgeous, and the permanent tent means that we avoid needing to rent a tent, which is so expensive. We love the mansion's history and that we're supporting Delaware State Parks with our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
