Dell-Lea Weddings & Events Reviews

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!

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 had our wedding at Dell-Lea in June. Toutou (the owner) was amazing to work with. She had everything organized to the smallest detail to make our lives easier. All of our questions leading to the date were answered promptly. The food, cooked in-house was phenomenal. Our outside vendors were well coordinated with the venue. The biggest thing we talk about from that night was just how easy our day was made because of the professionalism that Dell-Lea offered us.

Dell-Lea proved to be a gorgeous venue for our son's summer wedding. We appreciated the kindness of the owners (and their children!) and their flexibility with our decoration vision. Laurie was patient and professional and a pleasure to interact with. The food was delicious and fresh, and numerous guests complimented us on the variety of vegetables and the meat and fish preparation. The space was enchanting and made for a memorable day. Thank you!

I can not praise Dell-Lea for everything that went into our wedding day! From our first wedding venue meeting, Toutou was very inviting and made us feel welcomed in our one-on-one. Between the beautiful backdrop view of the ceremony to the layout and set-up of the reception area, we left that meeting infatuated with the venue and the comfort of knowing where our wedding would be. The whole process went so smooth and Toutou guided us through every step of the way.

Unfortunately, like many newlyweds this summer, we had rain on our wedding day. The staff (Toutou and Abigail) made the transition from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony so smooth. They took care of everything and alleviated the stress and pressure of this transition of coordinating and moving decorations.

Everything turned out perfect! The timeline and coordination of the wedding events were on point, the food was immaculate, the service was unbelievable.

All in all, I can't recommend Dell-Lea Weddings & Events highly enough. Abigail and Toutou made our wedding feel special and booking their venue was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.

Dell-Lea was the first venue in a handful of tours we did around New Hampshire and it turns out we should have just signed on the dotted line initially, because nothing else met my wife’s and her family’s criteria so well. There aren’t many venues which can combine the rustic interior style with rolling and well maintained grounds, plus real kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Some people have the energy to plan all the details of their big day… not us… which is where Dell-Lea continued to shine. We took advantage of the coordinator package and the ability to use decorations and items held by Dell-Lea which helped take away what would have been a lot of extra stress and end-of-night cleanup. Ashley was very easy to work with throughout and was very patient with our questions and requests.

We had been told that Dell-Lea shines with their food and we’d whole heartedly agree, as did our guests.

While we were extremely lucky to have beautiful, early September weather, we slept way better at night knowing that the venue could still put together a picture friendly indoor ceremony if needed.

Though we didn’t have the same level of facetime with them, we’re also extremely grateful for the rest of the staff of servers, bartender, and kitchen staff who did their jobs so well and got everyone fed and well lubricated for the dancefloor.

With everything said and done, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue and staff to shape our wedding day!

Perfection! We had an amazing wedding at Dell-Lea! Ashley our coordinator made the journey to our day so easy. She helped immensely in helping make our day perfect. The venue is breathtaking, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about everything.

Ashley, David, and Toutou are amazing, they went above and beyond to ensure our daughters wedding was absolutely Perfect…A day that will forever be remembered! They were extremely helpful in coordinating a surprise fairy tale horse and carriage entrance!!
The grounds are breathtaking and the barn is simply beautiful!! The food was delicious, staff was great.
Ashley was absolutely the best coordinator, we are so thankful for her, she truly made the day so easy, stress free and it went off without a hitch… Many thanks to you all. Such an AMAZING venue!!

First of all, this venue is absolutely beautiful, which we were sold on pretty much immediately. The owners are AMAZING and so helpful throughout the whole process. The owner, Tou Tou, made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the whole wedding and kept us on time. To top it off, the food was delicious. All of our guests raved about the venue and the food. We couldn’t believe how affordable Dell-Lea is and would 10/10 recommend.

I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married! We had the best time on our wedding day and David and Toutou were absolutely incredible to work with. They truly want their couples to have the most magical days.

My husband and I got married at Dell-Lea on Sept 4, 2021, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. We booked in June 2020 when restrictions for the pandemic were some of the highest we’ve seen. David arranged a video tour for us, and then an in-person tour the next day when we wanted to confirm how excited we were about the venue. He was immediately warm and friendly (which helped us feel comfortable asking questions), he demonstrated his foodie-nature (which helped us feel confident in the catering), and he let the venue and big-sky views speak for themselves (which helped us to really envision our wedding there).

Along the way, Ashley, David, and Toutou each helped us out with various questions we had about other vendors, potential COVID restrictions, and anything else that came up. They communicated promptly, clearly, and proactively, often answering our questions before we asked them. Our wedding was on a Saturday so Ashley was our lead coordinator. She was INCREDIBLE. In our details meeting ahead of the wedding, she helped us build a timeline that incorporated all of the details that were most important to us. Her experience with weddings helped to anticipate and avoid potential problems. She would offer advice and information without making us feel pressure to do anything a particular way.

On the day of the wedding, Ashley was magical. She helped fasten boutonnieres, arrange decorations, and keep everything according to schedule. I never knew what time it was and never felt rushed because Ashley would just quietly ensure things were moving along as we had planned. Plus, she was flexible when we asked for last minute changes. Could not have asked for anything better. My mom used to be a wedding coordinator herself so she has very high expectations of others, and she raved about Ashley!

Notes re: food:
Not getting a traditional tasting was a little scary to us, but the food was fantastic. My favorite appetizers were the crab-stuffed mushroom caps and the veggie spring rolls. The meals we chose were Maple Bourbon Chicken, Orange Chili Salmon Filet, and Stuffed Peppers, and we got compliments on all three! The food was truly fantastic!

From the moment my husband and I first walked into Dell-Lea, we knew it was where we were going to get married. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. It makes for beautiful photographs! We love how this is a family owned venue. You can see how much work David and Toutou put into Dell-Lea and it was a very personal experience. They answered all of my many questions promptly and were very professional throughout the process. The wedding coordinator, Ashley, is AMAZING! She ensured everything ran very smoothly the day of our wedding. The food was very good! Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've been to. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or better people to work with for our wedding.

I got married at Dell Lea on 6/12/21 and the day was exactly what we had envisioned. We had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the gorgeous grounds, and the guests spent the evening playing yard games and dancing in the barn. Toutou and Ashley were super easy to work with, responsive, and flexible when I wanted to do things differently. Thank you so much! I can't wait for all of the pictures and video to relive the day for years to come.

Overall had a fantastic experience. Absolutely recommend it to friends from the pricing to the physical reception. I could not have imagined a better wedding reception with friends and family.

I absolutely loved Dell-lea. If I could give this a higher review, I would. The food was amazing, our guests loved everything about the venue. The staff was excellent - very attentive and polite. David and TouTou are the nicest people and were extremely accommodating with our date changes. They went above and beyond every time I called or emailed to ask them a question/special request. I am so proud to give them my business. I wish I could do it all over again!!
Ashley was the coordinator and she was also absolutely amazing. I reached out to her multiple times with so many questions and she answered all of them. She ran the entire day and was so helpful, going up to my parents and us throughout the night checking on us and helped bustle my dress.
Everyone at dell lea was absolutely amazing. I seriously wish I could do this again just to give them my business and to work with them all again.

Even though our wedding was almost 2 months ago, I still tell everyone who will listen how amazing the team at Dell Lea Weddings and Events is. When our original venue canceled our wedding with no notice, we were heart broken. However, it turned into the largest blessing in disguise we could ever imagine! We knew from the second we walked in that we had found a new venue that was 100 times better then our first. From the beautiful grounds, to the amazing food, to the gorgeous reception space, Dell Lea was everything that we wanted in a wedding venue. In addition, Toutou was able to pick up right where our previous coordinator left off and made the transition seemless. We could have not asked for a more perfect wedding day. Toutou ran the event effortlessly, and made sure the only thing we had to worry about was enjoying ourselves. Thank you Dell Lea for hosting and helping us throw our dream wedding!

We couldn't be more appreciative of Toutou and Ashley and how easy they make the wedding planning process. Always there to answer questions and provide insight, they really go above and beyond. Not to mention the beautiful venue and delicious food they provide, you really cant go wrong. If you're looking for a rustic venue with beautiful views at a reasonable price look no further than the Dell Lea!

People told us it would be the best day of our lives and Ashley, Toutou and David truly made that a reality! The grounds are unbelievably beautiful and perfectly manicured, and the barn provides a perfect setting for a rustic yet elegant backdrop for a NH wedding. Ashley's ability to communicate and coordinate professionally but with an innate 'warmth' was flawless. Nothing was missed or overlooked. The food was amazing. We had the baked stuffed chicken, teriyaki salmon and prime rib and reports from all guests were that all of the meals were portioned generously and were delicious! Our JP was late to our rehearsal, so Toutou jumped in spontaneously and went through our entire ceremony with us so we knew what we were doing on the day of. This venue went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and to ensure our guests were comfortable and happy the entire day. Many of our family and friends continuously rave about our wedding with multiple people expressing that it's the best wedding they've ever been to! Thank you Dell-Lea for making this day happen! You will always hold a special place in our hearts! -Ashley and Jeff

Dave and Toutou were absolutely amazing! They made sure the day was exactly what we were looking for and really got our vision. During our wedding, Toutou checked in with almost every guest to make sure everyone was having a wonderful time. They always responded to us quickly and met with us after hours when we needed them to. The grounds are beautiful and great for pictures! We also got so many compliments on the food; it was some of the best wedding food we have ever had! Thank you for making our day so perfect! We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a picturesque venue with amazing owners. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same otherwise!

Toutou was so wonderful to work with, professional but down to earth. The grounds are breath taking so beautiful. The barn itself is spotless so clean and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, couldn’t have asked for better. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. Everything went off like clockwork, it was perfection from beginning to the end! It was just magical thanks to Toutou!
I hands down recommend Dell Lea!

Dell-Lea was the first venue we looked at, and after walking out of our tour we knew we needed to book it. We had our ceremony out back in the field and it was beautiful. It was the perfect summer night! Their staff is incredible, they kept everything flowing smoothly the whole night. They accommodated our requests to make our wedding special. Ashley helped us with some last minute changes and did it with grace. And for that we are forever thankful!! Everyone was in awe of how beautiful it was. Thank you Dell-Lea for the best night ever!!

The owners are awesome and very attentive. They are reasonably priced and willing to work with you and your budget. They are extremly flexible and pay attention to detail and always keep you in the loop of what is going on with the venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone 1000 times over😊

Toutou was more than accommodating with our military wedding having a few things “out of the ordinary”. Emails always got a reply quickly. She has a great personality, and really goes above and beyond to make your day yours. The food was amazing!

I can't say enough how awesome David and Toutou are! They were flexible, helpful, responsive, and professional. They are improving the venue all the time even though it's already beautiful. Thank you so much!
