Delafield Hotel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5.0/5.0

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Delafield Hotel and the incredible team that helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

From the moment we started planning, we knew we were in good hands. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the team at The Delafield Hotel made the entire experience feel so easy and enjoyable. They were always quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. No question ever felt too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. Having that level of support throughout the planning process meant more to us than they probably realize.

One of the things I appreciated most was how much care and attention they put into every little detail. They thought of things before we even had a chance to ask, and it was so reassuring knowing we had such an amazing team looking out for us. On our wedding day, I was able to completely relax, soak in every moment, and just enjoy being surrounded by the people we love. I never once felt like I needed to check on something or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Everything came together so beautifully, and that peace of mind was truly priceless.

What made the experience even more special was how genuinely kind and caring everyone was. It never felt like we were just another wedding on their calendar. They made us feel like our day was just as important to them as it was to us, and that is something we will always remember.

And the FOOD! We are still hearing from our guests about how incredible everything was! So many people have told us it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, which makes us so happy. Knowing that our family and friends had such a wonderful experience means the world to us.

Looking back on our wedding day, I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. It was everything we hoped for and so much more. We were able to be fully present, enjoy every moment, and make memories that we will cherish forever, and so much of that is thanks to the amazing people at The Delafield Hotel.

To the entire team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making such an important day in our lives feel so effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable. We are beyond grateful for all the hard work, kindness, and care you put into making our wedding so special.

If you’re considering The Delafield Hotel for your wedding, I truly cannot recommend them enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Gina and The Delafield Hotel team were amazing to work with. I have zero regrets having my wedding here, as the team took care of so many details and helped make the day and planning flawless.

Baseline Logistics & Comfort:
We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom, with cocktail hour in the Cushing room and the outdoor portico. We had under 100 guests in attendance which fit the rooms comfortably with space to spare in both the ceremony, cocktail, and reception layout. There was plenty of space for the guests during cocktail hour to be comfortable, with plenty of seats. We had an upgraded setup for the portico area which provided even more seating and comfort.

Communication & The Planning Experience / Day of Operation and Support:
Gina was incredibly responsive and helpful and one of my favorite people to work with. She made the planning process incredibly smooth and easy and was accommodating when we unique ideas or requests. When trying to decide lighting in the ballroom Gina was flexible and accommodating when I left it in the hands of my photographer/videographer to decide on the morning of. I know they have plenty of weddings, but there was never a time when I felt like just a number, Gina always went out of her way to assist and accommodate. The venue was fully transparent on package inclusions, and what would incur a fee. I never had any questions or doubts when payments were due. Day-of the wedding she was onsite, present, proactive, and helpful during setup and throughout the event. Gina and the venue staff worked incredibly well with all our other vendors to make the whole day and process flow smoothy.

Inclusions and vendor flexibility:
The venue provided so many items like tables, chairs, drinkware, flatware, etc. and had options to upgrade items like extra décor, seating, and linens.

Guest and Wedding Party Experience:
The venue had great accessibility and flow. Our elderly guests were able to navigate between spaces without encountering unexpected or steep stairs. There was never a line to use the bathrooms, which were well cleaned and maintained during the wedding. Parking was free and plentiful with valet service available. We utilized hotel rooms as our getting-suites and there was plenty of space for hair and makeup to set up and work. We were even able to utilize ID for groomsmen photos, which resulted fantastic photos. The dinner, desserts, and late-night snack were high quality with all the food coming out with perfect taste, texture, and temperature. I’ve had so many guests tell me that the venue and food were amazing and that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and I 100% agree with them.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience planning and having our wedding here. I’ve been working hard to convince friends to have their weddings at The Delafield Hotel because I know they will be well taken care of by Gina and the team. My parents had such a wonderful experience that they’re considering hosting family events there just so they can experience the food and fantastic service again, so it is very likely that we will be back!

Gina and the whole staff at the Delafield Hotel are seasoned professionals. They take care of every need you may have with catering, bar services, and venue. I have worked with many vendors in the past and the Delafield Hotel surpasses them all. The fees are 100% transparent, and their wedding packages include everything and more. The clear and quick communications between management was wonderful throughout the process. You will be in excellent hands at the Delafield Hotel.

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!

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!

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!

We loved The Delafield Hotel! Everything was beautiful and staff were so easy to work with and accommodating. Highly recommend booking your event here!

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.

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.

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.
