From start to finish Dawn at Salero made planning so much easier! She was always there when you had questions and always made us feel so much better after talking to her. The food was AMAZING, everything on the menu was outstanding and our guests still talk about how good it was! The venue is beautiful and had amazing views during the reception. Thank you Dawn and your amazing team! Couldn’t have done this without you!

Best Wedding Venue

To say my expectations were met is an understatement. The Salero was the best wedding venue I’ve could’ve asked for. Dawn and her team for 100% professional, accommodating, and extremely helpful in every aspect of the wedding planning process. Even though it rained our wedding day turned out to be the best day of our lives. We heard nothing but compliments on the atmosphere, food, and the wonderful staff. Wedding planning is very stressful but if you use the Salero you know your day will turn out the way you hoped in all your dreams. If anybody is looking for a wedding venue situated on a beautiful view with staff who are professional the Solero is your choice . I would recommend the Salero to anybody planning a wedding in Delaware. Also, DJ Steve made our wedding the party we always wanted. I couldn’t believe when the last song played that our wedding was over.

The best venue: Salero

Our wedding at Salero was truly unforgettable. Dawn and her team provided us exceptional service and The venue, nestled right on the beach, provided a breathtaking backdrop of Rehoboth beach from above. We had our ceremony right on the beach and thankfully the weather was PERFECT. It was exactly what I had envisioned.
The team at the venue was incredibly professional, ensuring every detail was taken care of seamlessly. From the ceremony setup to the reception arrangements, they went above and beyond to make sure our day was stress-free and enjoyable. We especially appreciated their flexibility in customizing the space to match our vision. Dawn has done countless weddings at Salero and offered us advice and talked through our plans. DJ Steve did an incredible job and kept our dance floor alive all night long. He also talked through my timeline and ideas before hand and totally eased all my anxiety.
If you're dreaming of a beach wedding
that combines stunning views, a relaxed yet elegant vibe, and outstanding service, Salero is the perfect choice. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Highly recommended!!

Dawn and the whole Salero crew are Top Notch!

We will Start off by saying, MAKE THIS YOUR CHOICE! The reviews on here don’t lie, Dawn and her crew did NOT disappoint! Through the year of planning, Dawn was always very responsive and helpful which made it easy for us to make decisions! We were set to have a beach wedding. Due to weather we had to change to an indoor ceremony an hour before start time. Dawn and her crew made the change with no problem at all!
Dawn’s husband is the chef for the venue, and I tell you as Dawn told us….. he is an amazing chef!
Steve “the house DJ” was absolutely amazing! Very nice, and kept the dance floor packed! He was able to meet all our needs and edited music for our wedding party to come out to. It all went fantastic!
The bartender was amazing as well, no one was left standing around waiting for a drink, he would automatically make our drink if he saw it was getting low :0)!
All in all, as you can see from our photos, the venue is amazing, and you won’t find a better venue in the Delaware coast area!

The music for the ceremony was flawless and he kept us dancing all night!! Dawn made every step of this process so simple and easy and almost care free for us !! She was always easy to reach and answered all of our questions. We can't say enough about Dawn and her entire staff!!

Perfect Wedding

This is a great venue and value for a wedding. We had 83 guests and wouldn't have changed a thing. We sent the following note to the owner following the wedding. "Just wanted to shoot you a quick note to say thank you for such a great wedding! We all thought it was perfect. The food was delicious (many many guests commented on how great the food was – please thank your husband for his talents!), the DJ was great as well as the bar service and your management of the event. Everyone was so pleased with how it all turned out." The view is amazing and the owner worked with us to ensure we had the event we imagined in our minds. The food was amazing and our guests attested to this fact throughout the night. The DJ was so much fun - always smiling, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night with the songs/music styles we told him we wanted. Kudos to Salero all around for running such a great venue. We had the perfect wedding thanks to the team there!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

From the very beginnings of my career as a wedding photographer, Salero has been one of my favorite places to work. There are not many venue coordinators/owners that are as warm, welcoming, professional and as helpful as Dawn. The team she surrounds herself with has always been equally as professional and easy to work with. By now, Dawn has things running like a well oiled machine and every wedding I've had the pleasure of photographing at Salero has gone smoothly--even if plans had to be tweaked due to weather. The food - superb! The view - incredible. Salero is like a tiny slice of Miami in Rehoboth Beach. If you're considering a beach or destination wedding, look no further than this oceanside gem!
