Amazing, 5 ☆!

Crystal, the coordinator, was the absolutely best. She was absolutely helpful from the moment we started planning to the moment I left my wedding night. I forgot my bouquet moments before I was about to walk down the aisle and that women RAN for it. She was so helpful for every single part of our wedding. The venue is stunning, lots of land to work with. The mansion, the barns, the land, you have access to all of it. Very big event space. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The photos I have right now don't even come close to how beautiful my big day was

I kept coming back to this

This venue kept coming back to my mind and showed up on several wedding websites, and I took it as a sign. I’m so happy I went with this location. Thanks to the Seaford Historical Society for making my wedding experience amazing at Ross Mansion. All of this is thanks to Crystal, their coordinator, who was the sweetest and most flexible and giving coordinator I could’ve ever dreamed of. Thank you Crystal!

Beautiful venue with many options

First let me say that I have had to postpone my wedding a few times since the pandemic and this venue has always been more than accommodating and supportive. I received several compliments from family how nice the barn was and the beautiful area surrounding it. There are so many beautiful options for an outdoor ceremony. Most importantly, the support from the coordinator, Crystal, was above and beyond. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help and patience and always being available if I needed to swing by to check something or if I just had a couple questions. I definitely recommend this venue to anyone.

The Ross Mansion in Seaford, Delaware is a most beautiful backdrop for a wedding &/or reception. We held our daughter's wedding reception there as a tented event and it was nothing short of beautiful. Mr. Bill Messenger was the "man in the know" and made certain our night was bullet-proof. When we returned to the Mansion on the next evening, all was gone and it was if it never had happened. The only thing was left was a zillion fireflies dancing across the front lawn. However, memories of a beautiful bride, her handsome groom, family and friends enjoying a fantastic celebration will live on in our hearts and minds forever. This will forever be a beautiful memory and we sincerely give thanks for this beautiful setting and making this an unforgettable evening.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
