Great wedding venue!

We had our wedding at The Delafield Hotel, and it was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing, our guests are still talking about it! The event staff was incredibly organized and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Gina, the event manager was quick to respond to every email and question throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, she made sure everything was taken care of so I didn’t have to stress about a thing. The entire hotel staff was kind and accommodating, and the rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our special day and highly recommend The Delafield Hotel to any couple planning their wedding!

Excellent!

I’ve worked multiple weddings at The Delafield Hotel, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this sophisticated boutique venue with its charming historic elegance, stunning ballrooms, and beautiful getting ready spaces that make every bridal look shine. Highly recommend!

Best wedding day!

The Delafield Hotel and their coordinator, Gina, made our wedding day absolutely perfect! The venue itself is breathtaking—elegant, well-maintained, and the ideal backdrop for our special day. Every corner was picture-perfect, and the staff ensured everything ran like clockwork. The food was absolutely to die for - our guests are still raving about how delicious the hors d'oeuvres and main entrees were! Gina was a dream to work with, guiding us with professionalism, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. She anticipated our needs, handled every challenge seamlessly, and made the planning process stress-free. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the flawless execution of the event. You could tell Gina and her crew cared so much about us. We weren’t able to enjoy much of our cocktail hour and food, so they set aside some of our hors d'oeuvres at the head table so we could snack on them before dinner. We also came back up to our room at the end of the night to champagne and a slice of cake with a personalized note. These little details were what made our night so special and made us feel so cared for. We couldn’t recommend The Delafield Hotel and Gina and her team more highly for an unforgettable wedding experience!

Wedding at The Delafield Hotel!

We could not have imagined a better place to have our wedding than at The Delafield Hotel! It was so wonderful working with Gina throughout the process. Her and the team at the hotel made everything as least stressful as it could be. She was so detailed with how we wanted the whole day to flow and the timing of everything. All we heard from guests was that the food was simply amazing and the overall atmosphere was really great!

We loved being able to stay Friday and Saturday night and get ready at the hotel Saturday morning in our suite. It was so nice being able to take pictures in multiple different unique locations, ID Bar, the wine room, various lobby areas, the top part of the hotel overlooking the city, and multiple places outside around the hotel. It made taking pictures and not having to worry about transportation a breeze.

I could not recommend more getting married or having a special event at the Delafield Hotel! You will have an amazing time and all your guests will go home having amazing food and drinks!

A Perfectly Packaged Deal

Everything about our experience with the Delafield Hotel was fantastic. Gina was extremely responsive while planning and attentive on the day; she really helped make our day perfect! All of the staff were extremely kind and set everything up with care. The food was wonderful, and their packages, included decor, and on site pastry chef, made it easy to work within our budget without sacrificing style. We were so happy to not require a bunch of outside vendors; it was so simple to have (almost) everything in-house! The fish hatchery down the road was a great place to take photos, and getting up to the bell tower at sunset was beautiful.

Wedding of our dreams

The Delafield Hotel by far exceeded any expectations that we had. We chose this venue for many reasons, but mainly because it was all-inclusive. The package included a tasting, meeting with their coordinator to go over details (Gina), tables, chairs, linen, silverware, plates, centerpieces, etc... If you're planning a wedding, you have surely found out how complex all of these small details can become when they are not included! They were able to customize the decor to fit our style and made the venue into our dream room; it looked absolutely gorgeous.

The tasting was great and we got to pick delicious food that everyone loved. They had an option that accommodated V/VG/GF/DF guests, so everyone could eat!!! That alone is a tremendous feature to have. During the day of the wedding, the cocktail hour was a hit and the food was served hot and fresh to everyone in a seamless, highly coordinated manner. Gina did an amazing job at seeing every detail through. ALL of the staff was super friendly and genuinely hospitable.

At the end of the night, we went to the honeymoon suite that was included in the package and found an amazing care package from Gina. The rooms are beautiful, roomy, elegant and have top tier showers.

There are endless details that we could write about and still not cover it all. The venue is located in a boutique-style town that all of our guests loved staying at. It added to the magical feeling of the entire weekend. Because so many of our guests stayed there, it felt like the whole building was special for us. We highly recommend The Delafield Hotel to anyone who wants to have the wedding and weekend of their dreams.

Best experience and catered to our unique plans and needs

We had the best experience, from the early detailed decisions to making it all come to life on the day of. Gina, the venue coordinator, was so lovely to work with - she was organized, had thorough communication, and was patient walking us through all the details. We heard so many kind words from our guests (and we feel the same!) about the ballroom, the food and dessert, and the hotel rooms all being so special. Everyone had an amazing weekend, us included.

Blown away!

Gina Shaw and the rest of the staff at The Delafield Hotel were an absolute dream to work with. We got married on May 3, 2025 and cannot stop smiling. From the minute we stepped foot inside the lobby we felt seen, heard and were wowed beyond belief. On our initial tour, every single question I didn’t know I had was answered and that was what sealed the deal for us. The venue itself is so charming and elegant that every other piece of decor is just a bonus. Gina was informative, quick to respond and was there for us every step of the way. Her, Kameron and every other staff member set up all of our decor and did so flawlessly. The whole day was perfect thanks to their hard work and attention to all of my detailed ideas! The food was the best wedding food I have ever had, our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour apps, drinks and great dinner service. Gina and Kameron even left us a plate of each flavor of our wedding cupcakes and a bottle of champagne in our honeymoon suite the night of the wedding! We even got to take photos in the bell tower! These small touches and details really swept us off our feet and my husband and I can’t stop talking about our perfect day. You will not be disappointed choosing The Delafield Hotel for your wedding day or event!

The best venue!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Delafield Hotel on 11/2 and we truly could not have asked for a better venue. We were able to fully enjoy our day because the staff took care of everything for us! The ballroom was beautiful and setup exactly how we pictured it and we could not be more thankful. Kameron and the whole banquet team were truly incredible to work with. She was very responsive and professional and she answered every question I had in a timely manner. We had 200+ guests, and she did a great job helping us utilize the space to ensure everyone was comfortable. The drinks and food were AMAZING and we got so many compliments from guests on how delicious their meals were. We cannot recommend The Delafield Hotel enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
