Lindsay and her team are amazing!

Boy did they deliver!!!! The venue was beautiful and well prepared for our day! They worked with us within our budget and made our day absolutely perfect…My husband and I both said we want to get married again every day as long as they are in charge. The food, cake, and beverages were amazing! By far the best wedding food I’ve ever had and our guests agreed.

Rosewood Farms 

4.7

Elkton, MD
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally a cow and poultry farm, the previous owners had run the property as a winery before Rick purchased it in May of 2017. After seeing the property, its luscious landscape, and the rustic charm of the original buildings, Rick had a vision. He saw the property transformed into a modern, chic space that maintained the history and character of the original farm. More importantly, he imagined bringing others’ visions to life with a beautiful and unique setting for weddings and private events.

Rosewood farms was the absolute perfect place for our wedding. It was a picture perfect day and everything went off without a hitch. The entire staff is very well synced up and worked as if it were a well rehearsed dance. If you are looking for a budget friendly venue I encourage you to stop reading now and look elsewhere, but it was money well spent in my opinion. Be aware that the venue does tend to nickel and dime you and nothing is included with your venue cost. Need more prep time? Need seat cushions? Want a signature drink off their list? In the end, I get it. They are a business, they need to pay their staff and bills but they were very non-flexible. With that being said we chose Lovely Veil for our planner and Feastivities events as out caterer and the entire night went without a hitch and I was very impressed. These three vendors work together all the time so i suggest looking at this combo if you book Rosewood.

Shellie and the Hotel Du Pont team are total pros. They were very accommodating throughout the process and were always willing to work with us to make our day as special as possible. The food and drinks were all terrific and the service was exceptional. We were attracted to Hotel Du Pont as a venue because of the opportunity to host a “Wedding Weekend” and not only did we get to pull that off, but Hotel Du Pont made it a better experience than we could have hoped for. Great food, beautiful ballrooms and accommodations, and a professional and friendly staff made this a home run wedding venue for us.

Paca House and Garden was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we started working with Deb, the event coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Despite the chaos of wedding planning, Deb was incredibly professional and organized, making the process seamless. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with stunning gardens and a charming historic house that provided the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. The Paca House team went above and beyond to cater to our specific cultural needs, coordinating the DJ, live music, chairs, and parking to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The Carriage House In Rockwood Park

Wilmington, DE
  • Up to 225 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $11,999

Spectacular setting on the grounds of a 19th century country estate Indoor and outdoor ceremony locations amidst lush gardens or a captivating Carriage House Extensive and exquisite menu selections Personal event coordinator for impeccable service Over 40 years experience of culinary excellence

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Carriage house! It has been taken over by Prime Hospitality catering who did an amazing job from start to finish! Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!
