    Spring Affair at a Coastal Delaware Legacy

    Hopkins Heartland’s Covered Bridge is the picturesque setting for your coastal wedding. The historical farmhouse and barn structures set amongst the coastal countryside create a romantic and serene setting for your wedding and weekend. It was special to celebrate a momentous milestone for our families at the Hopkins family’s first state legacy!

    The Hopkins Heartland team easily rivals our affinity for the venue—Ingrid, Corrine, Katie and Bridget were warm, welcoming, communicative, and uber easy going. They’ve either perfected the science of hosting or not letting you see them sweat.

    We also recommend taking in a gorgeous sunset or sunrise while you're there. Top to bottom, we were thrilled with the venue, accommodations, staff, and support we received to help make our wedding such a beautiful and special day.

    Hopkins Heartland is Magical!

    Our wedding at Hopkins Heartland was absolutely perfect!!!
    Our family and some of the wedding party stayed at both the Farmhouse and the Grainbarn. Both were comfortable and everyone felt at home. Katie made the most delicious breakfasts and saw to our every need. Staying at the farm made it so easy to prepare for the wedding reception. The Welcome Dinner was held at the Honeybee and it was a fun filled evening for 80 of the guests that had come into town the night before the wedding. The vendors that we used for our reception were from the preferred vendor list and they were all top notch. Corrine was so helpful in answering our questions as well as making sure the wedding went off without a hitch. We are so happy that we chose Hopkins Heartland for our wedding. The ceremony at The Covered Bridge was wonderful and the cocktail hour held on the patio was a great prelude to an amazing reception in the barn. So many people have told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It was a weekend filled with laughter, joy and memories. Hopkins Heartland is a beautiful wedding venue, and we could not have picked a better place to begin our life together.

    Hopkins heartland - best wedding venue ever

    We LOVED our experience at Hopkins Heartland. We got married November 25th, 2023. It was the most beautiful venue and the most beautiful weekend. We were welcomed with open arms the entire weekend. Corrine, I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for making our wedding a dream. Ingrid, thank you for letting us experience what Hopkins is all about, which is the beauty of the Inn, the barn, and the landscape.

    The best day ever!

    The Honey Bee was the perfect place for my husband and I to celebrate our marriage. The Honey Bee offers a ton of natural beauty, it’s a gorgeous venue. The Honey Bee team was so supportive and helpful the entire planning process. We loved working with them!

    What a great wedding!!

    Ingrid, Corrine and Hopkins Heartland Honey Bee made our day absolutely perfect! From meeting with Corrine the first time, all the way through the organizational paperwork, and all the way to the wedding day, everybody involved was very attentive to even the smallest details! With their help, our wedding was seamless and absolutely perfect! Now let’s talk about this beautiful venue…The backdrop for our ceremony could not have been more amazing! The refurbished barn was perfect for us to dance the night away! The amount of space allowed for us to enjoy many different activities at our wedding, such as Cornhole and a Mechanical Bull! The bridal room is absolutely adorable and gave us all enjoy space to get our hair and makeup done and get ready! We can’t thank the team at Hopkins Heartland Honey Bee enough!

    Absolute dream come true 💕

    Hopkins Heartland Honeybee was perfect for our June wedding. The location is intimate and warm.Gorgeous surroundings and sunset views. Beautiful barn for reception. AMAZING staff + very professional- special shout to all of the girls that helped make my big day such a succes! Staff went above and beyond what was expected of them- helping with set-up/clean-up and everything between. Our guest absolutely loved the ice cream cart(provided by Hopkins Creamery) a super fun and unique addition to our wedding day.

    Easy and dreamy

    Start to finish it was easy with Corrine and Ingrid. Beautiful venue and perfect for our 80 guests. Liz was there for us throughout and we couldn’t have been better hands. We created the best memories and Hopkins Heartland (Honeybee) is part of it.

    Amazing Wedding Venue!

    We LOVED our wedding planning experience with Hopkins Heartland! Corrine and the team at Hopkins are amazing! They are incredibly helpful and always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, etc. It was such a nice feeling knowing that if I had a last minute question, I could email Corrine and I would have an answer or solution in no time! I would highly recommend booking The Honeybee or The Covered Bridge as your wedding venue!

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Maura - Thank you so much for your kind review. I want the whole world to know how wonderful Corrine and my team are. I'm so blessed, to have my team, and to have brides like you. You were an absolute angel to work with.

    Reed wedding at honeybee farm

    Bryan and I had our wedding at Honey Beefarm. Corrine and her team made the time leading up to our wedding absolutely effortless. They were all so organized and responsive when I had a question. They provided us with a list of rockstar preferred vendors as suggestions to use for our wedding. The day of our wedding was soooo relaxed! Our day of person, Courtney, made sure we were all where we needed to be and was a rockstar at helping clean up the venue at the end of the night. This venue and team was absolutely perfect and we got everything we wanted and more

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Erika - Thank you so much for your kind review! Corrine and Courtney are 100% rockstars. Our precious little Honey Bee venue is proving to be the perfect spot for smaller weddings like yours. Grateful-

    Covered Bridge Inn

    Hopkins Heartland was all I’ve ever dreamed of. We chose Covered Bridge Inn after following them on social media for a few years. It is the only venue I wanted to visit, and it felt like home when we arrived for our tour. Corrine was there for every question throughout the planning process and Ingrid just makes you feel at home— even just on tours. Fast forward to wedding weekend and Katie was the best “Inn Keeper”. Her smile was always warm and welcoming and the breakfast… to die for! While most brides are spending the morning of their wedding stressed, I spent mine relaxed knowing that CBI worked so well with all of my vendors. There is not a single thing my husband and I would change about our wedding weekend and we have the wonderful Hopkins Heartland Crew (and our vendors) to thank for that.

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Samantha - Thank you so much for your kind review! I want the whole world to know how wonderful Corrine and Katie are. I am so blessed to have them and to have brides like you to work with. Grateful-

    It was a great experience, beautiful, no stress day!

    Justin and I got married at Hopkins Heartland September of 2022 and we could not have asked for a better day, team or venue! Everybody there was so extremely helpful and we had no stress that day. We can't thank everyone enough. The pictures came out gorgeous especially with that beautiful area! We highly recommend!

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Jamie and Justin- Thank you so much for your kind words. Most people can't imagine a stress-free wedding. Having your testimony helps others who are just starting the planning process have confidence that it IS possible.

    Everything about the venue was perfect! It rained but it didn't matter. Corrine and her staff did an amazing job!

    Look no further!

    Believe it or not, Hopkins was the first and only wedding venue my husband and I visited. After researching venues in Connecticut (where I’m from) and New Jersey (where groom is from), nothing seemed to be an appropriate ‘package’. My husband and I have been vacationing in the Lewes/Rehoboth Beach area for over five years and he was the one that actually convinced me to explore options.
    We were already looking for a relaxed and rustic feel, and after touring Hopkins, we were sold! We chose the Covered Bridge, three-night package and it exceeded our expectations. From the comfort of the Farmhouse, to exclusive access of the property Thursday-Sunday, it made coordination and getting ready that much easier. We were able to host an intimate rehearsal dinner on Friday, enjoyed home made country breakfast with our closest family and friends Saturday and Sunday, and were able to make our wedding weekend truly ours. The space allowed for both indoor and outdoor options which allowed for flexibility with weather and COVID in mind (our date was 9/10/2022). The entire staff were incredibly kind and professional, there were no hiccups. Additionally, their preferred vendor list made choosing food, flowers, décor, photography, hair and makeup a breeze. We were also referred to a stellar local wedding planner which was vital to planning from outside the state.
    If you are looking for THE venue for your wedding, look no further and go visit Hopkins Heartland today.

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Katie! Thank you so much for your kind review. Trust me when I say that my staff was equally as fond of you and your wonderful wedding tribe. Wishing you both many years of health and happiness.

    Amazing! Absolutely the best to work with. They are always available and willing to answer questions. They are great to work with.

    We loved everything about covered bridge inn! The venue is gorgeous. We have absolutely nothing negative to say. Ingrid (and every staff member) was so welcoming during our tour that we didn’t even tour another venue. Our day was perfect. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Bri!!! Thank you so much for your kind review. I feel like a superstar when my couples tell me they fall in love with the place on the first tour. No other tours are needed. LOVE.

    The venue was amazing. Staff was amazing. We had a personal assistant the entire day and they made sure all of our needs and wants were taken care off. They helped us plan throughout and took care of everything. They even recommended caters and staff to help us so things went smooth. I would recommend to anyone looking to have a small ceremony.

    Absolutely Outstanding!

    Robert and I could not have imagined a more beautiful venue, or more hardworking staff. Ingrid and Corrine were very organized and had tons of recommendations from the very start. The amount of help we received on the wedding day was outstanding, we cannot thank everyone enough. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the Honey Bee Venue was, inside and out! If we could do it over again, we would do everything just the same!
    Thank you so much Ingrid, Corrina & Staff

    Reception for a Small Family Wedding

    We loved the Hopkins Honey Bee so much -- it's the perfect size for a small family wedding reception (or even a moderate one) and the great farm-chic vibe makes it easy to create a beautiful atmosphere in the space, especially with the sun streaming through the oversized glass garage doors.

    Weekend Wedding Venue

    This venue is so beautiful and makes for the perfect space for your wedding or any event. Having the whole property for the weekend makes everything run so smoothly and the Inn on the property is amazing. Being able to stay on the property ensures a peace of mind for the bride. Ingrid and Corrine work so well with all the vendors that you can be sure that you won't have to worry about anything. They also provide you with so much information to help guide you in the planning process. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    Chelsea & Derek - thank you so much for your kind words!! This year was beyond challenging, and you made our lives so much easier. The photos from your weddings are AMAZING! It reflects the perfect blend of high style and a fun loving couple. I am so grateful for you, and we wish you both a lifetime of health and happiness.

    Amazing!!!

    Where do I begin with this amazing team! We loved Hopkins Heartland when we first booked in June of 2019 and we enjoyed watching them grow over the past two years while we waited for our big day this October. It was amazing to see how the team grew and it's because of that amazing team our big day was so special.

    Ingrid was always an email or phone call away. She is very quick to respond to any questions you have and her positive personality is contagious. Being able to stay at the venue starting on Thursday made all the difference for us. I really enjoyed being able to have that down time with a few family members before the busy weekend started.

    Waking up to Katie's amazing cooking and wonderful smile was a great way to start our mornings. E & Taylor were so organized and helpful throughout the entire process. & they always had a smile on their faces, even when wrangling in our rowdy groomsmen.

    I couldn't have imagined how much this group of people could impact us so much. They went above and beyond to make our day special and it really showed how much they cared. Hopkins Heartland and it's team will always hold a special place in our hearts!

    best wedding weekend ever

    We booked with The Covered Bridge Inn in 2019 before the name change to Hopkins Heartland and our wedding was 10/2/21. We absolutely loved every moment of our wedding weekend including being able to stay on site for 3 nights with our closest friends. Ingrid and her staff were phenomenal from start to end. Ingrid and her staff were incredible, "E" and LeeLee handled the rehearsal and wedding day perfectly so I had no stress. They were caring, energetic and went absolutely above and beyond! Katie made a delicious breakfast and was a wonderful host and good company for our guests. We couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect day, we will never forget how much this venue meant to us, I will recommend it over and over again! Thanks for making our dream day come to life!

    Hopkins Heartland's reply:

    This is such an awesome description of the Hopkins Heartland team!! Caring and energetic, I just love those words so much. Thank you, Katie. We absolutely loved hosting your day.

    Thank you so much, Shannon!! What a fun time we had planning your day. Corrine and I are lucky to have couples like you for our first season at Honey Bee. You were so patient and kind as we worked through all the little changes, and ended up with the perfect night.
