Just lovely

With a small budget, I'm so happy we chose to marry here. Not only was the staff friendly and professional but so many of my guests thought the room just beautiful. We opted not to have any decorations other than on the tables, but we didn't need them. The room was classically beautiful as is. And the outside was gorgeous for pictures. Ample parking and outstanding acoustics made for a great party space and the huge window was great for our ceremony spot.

Perfect, Friendly, Unique! Highly Recommend

We are highly satisfied with our experience holding our ceremony at the Delaware Agricultural Museum. Our guests loved the unique setting (the bride and groom also loved their friendly chickens and potbelly pig), the staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests, the photographs are lovely with the historic buildings, and we like knowing the (very reasonable and great value) price helps support such an important independent historic institution. They were one of our best decisions about the wedding--other than the choice of bride and groom, of course.

Fantastic place to get married!!!

My husband and I were married at the Delaware Agricultural Museum at the end of March. The setting was so beautiful, it was like a scene out of a movie. We originally requested that the museum stage the seating in front of their pretty covered bridge, then the old mill which is really cool (!) . We returned again and again to tour the grounds we finally decided to hold our ceremony in front of the beautiful red barn that is on the property. It set everything off so nicely and our guests loved it. Everyone was taking pictures before during and after the ceremony! We held a cocktail party in the garden and had a wonderful sit-down supper served in the museum’s gallery.
