Perfect Wedding

Not only is Dell-Lea an absolutely breathtakingly beautiful venue with outstanding, high-quality food, but the attention to detail given by Toutou Marsden and Laurie Russell is unparalleled. From the moment we looked at the venue to the final send-off, Toutou and Laurie didn't miss a beat. We didn't hire a separate wedding planner, but we didn't need to; we primarily used the vendors recommended by Dell-Lea (Boutique Leslie Bridal for the dress; Get Down Tonight Entertainment with DJ Jillian Mann for the music, Kiss the Bride with Alison Sica for photography, and Jacques Pastries for the cake) and everyone was so helpful and easy to work with! We added McElroy Films LLC as our videographer, and they were OUTSTANDING; Lyndsey Loring Design LLC as our florist, who created gorgeous AND AFFORDABLE bouquets, and Pixel Pod for a little bit of photo booth fun!
Laurie and Toutou answered every question that we had along the way, met with us before the wedding to cover details, and expertly guided everyone through the ceremony both during the rehearsal and during the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we had nothing to do but enjoy the event, and I can't thank Toutou and Laurie at Dell-Lea more for giving our daughter the wedding of her dreams!

The Perfectly Beautiful NH Venue

Absolutely speechless. Dell-Lea is chef’s kiss perfect. We had the most amazing fall weather and foliage and sunset. Completely blow away by how effortlessly beautiful the day was - we brought no outside/ceremony decorations because the backdrop is so stunning.

Laurie - our day of coordinator - was the master of all masters. She handled everything and seemed to be in 10 places at once all night long. She always checked in with us to see if we needed more food or drinks. She seamlessly handled a vendor snafu - our three bus drivers did not order a meal when I asked before our final headcount was due, but requested a meal on arrival at the venue. Laurie provided them each a meal and I didn’t hear a peep about it until the night was over! She helped my family pack up our decorations at the end of the night and made sure we had everything we needed. She even donated my bridesmaids bouquets to a local nursing home!

The food - cannot say enough about how delicious the food was. Multiple guests came up to us during and shortly after dinner service to rave about their meals - the stuffed chicken, espresso encrusted filet, and cashew cheese ravioli. All so good, and my husband and I had all three at our table! The appetizers - incredible! The family recipe crab rangoons are worth the hype! The bartenders were incredible all night and nailed our signature cocktails.

Working with Dell-Lea was seamless. I sent only a handful of emails before our details meeting because everything is so clear. Dell-Lea offers rental decorations, so we chose to rent table numbers, eucalyptus strands, centerpiece accents, and popular signage, saving us so much money. We cannot say enough good things about Dell-Lea - our day was so beautiful and perfect. We hope to be a guest at Dell-Lea someday!

We love Dell-Lea!

Dell-Lea was the first venue we visited. After visiting a few other venues we realized how lucky we were to have found Dell-Lea and quickly booked it! Toutou is perfect at what she does - meeting with her felt like a family member helping us prepare for our big day. She and the staff clearly love what they do, and it shows. They offered us helpful vendor recommendations in the area, and Toutou’s extensive experience helped the entire day run smoothly. They include many small touches throughout the day that keep the schedule running smoothly. Dell-Lea’s food and drink menu is extraordinary and they were very accommodating of a number of food allergies and preferences. We love how they work with local bakeries and other vendors for specific desserts, including locally made vegan ice cream. We received so many compliments on the food and drinks - some of the highlights were the cashew cheese ravioli and the late night ballpark pretzels. It’s amazing that they have decorations to rent - this saved us a lot of time and money! The location is gorgeous and there are so many great picture options throughout the property.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
