A hidden gem!

We had our wedding at the Brantwyn Estate October 2025, and I can’t say enough good things about this venue! Not only is the actual estate beautiful, unique and full of character but the staff was an absolute joy to work with. Lindsay answered my million questions via email in the weeks leading up to the wedding thoroughly and promptly! Pete was our venue coordinator and made sure our rehearsal and wedding day ran smoothly. Paige was also apart of our special day, making it sure it went perfect! Which it did! I am still receiving compliments on the beauty of the venue, the food and and the service!

Wonderful from start to finish!

We cannot say enough great things about the Brantwyn/DCC venue and team. From the very first visit we felt comfortable - Kayla was not pushy or sales-y, and the entire process seemed like a well-run machine. Kayla is the absolute best; she always answered questions in a timely manner, and she's super accommodating and detail-oriented. Brantwyn is such a beautiful location, and the fact that we could get ready upstairs and truly spend the entire day there was just icing on the cake. The intimate setting was perfect for our smaller sized (86 ppl) wedding, and we were very pleased with the separate dance floor room, as guests who were not dancing could actually visit and carry on conversations without all the noise. Food was top-notch - many guests complimented the quality and variety of entrees. The kitchen was very accommodating with food allergies as well. Even our vendors were extra excited to work with us when we mentioned our venue was Brantwyn. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful!

We had a great experience with the Kayla and the team from DuPont. They were professional, responsive and accommodating to our requests. It is a beautiful location, but really the team made it worthwhile for us. We were planning the wedding from afar, and they made the whole experience easy for us.

10/5 wedding!

Kayla and the team at Brantwyn Estate were amazing to work with, from booking our date in September 2023 to our wedding day in October 2024. Their communication was always responsive, detailed and consistent, putting us at ease every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - our guests kept raving about the unique and special space, as well as the food. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I can't recommend having your wedding here enough!

A magical place for a wedding

Brantwyn is an amazing venue. The house and grounds are beautiful. The food is impecable. And the staff worked with us through the whole process. Kayla coordinated everything from start to finish, Blanca made sure the day went flawlessly, and Ken added in the foods that made our wedding truly special.
We were initially concerned about having our wedding guest split between rooms as opposed to 1 large ballroom, but it worked great. Guests circulated. Those who wanted a quiet area to talk could easily find one while the party animals danced in another part of the house.

Best venue ever

If you are looking for an estate-style venue, look no further! I promise you, you will not be disappointed by Brantwyn. To this day, I am still in awe at how incredible our wedding was. Everything--from the staff, to the food, to the immaculate gardens, grounds, and beautiful library--was FLAWLESS. Special shout out to Kayla, our event coordinator who made sure that our every request was satisfied!

One element that is a little different than your typical ballroom reception is that the dance floor is separated from the dining areas. Our guests were split between two dining rooms, and the dancing took place in a third room. For us, this was actually a huge plus, as it allowed our guests to choose what kind of vibe they wanted (e.g. older family could sit and talk without being subjected to loud music).

Great, unique space for smaller gatherings!

We held our reception at Brantwyn and are so glad we did. We had about 70 guests and the space was perfect. So many of our guests commented on how good the food was and how awesome the house was. The team, especially Kayla Winters, is great at making the process leading up to and on the day of your event feel less stressful. Would absolutely recommend holding your event here!

Incredible venue!

We absolutely loved our experience having our wedding at Brantwyn. Kayla was wonderful to work with, very responsive and helpful, and made the process of planning a wedding seem much less daunting. We really appreciated the walkthroughs and the tasting. The catering on the day of was delicious, and everything was set up beautifully. They took the time to make sure we understood what all our options were and that they knew how we wanted things set up, and they executed it wonderfully.
