From the reviews
We love Bellevue Hall! My fiance and I spent a lot of time vetting various wedding venues in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Throughout our whole search, Bellevue Hall was number one.
Bellevue is the perfect location for anyone looking to get married in the Wilmington area. The location is stunning with a great garden area, beautiful manor for the cocktail hour and a permanent tent perfect for larger receptions.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue in northern DE, I would highly recommend Bellevue Hall. We had our wedding here in early April, and it was gorgeous. Though we were a little early for all of the flowers to be blooming, the magnolia tree on the walk-up was in full bloom and we were able to take a lot of our…
THANK YOU!!!!! Words cannot express how absolutely perfect Sophie and Greg’s wedding was thanks to our amazing event planner SaraAnn and the JAM event team. The entire event - including the gorgeous florals (shout out to Buttercup) - were beyond our expectations.
Getting married at Bellevue Hall
Bellevue Hall comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Bellevue Hall
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Bellevue Hall — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
