“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.”

“We got married at The Queen in July 2019. The venue is versatile, beautiful and exceeded every expectation. Great service from the venue team who took the pressure off us and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our special day among family and friends. We had 160 guests and there was ample space for dinner, dancing and a DJ on the stage. The VIP balcony was the perfect spot for appetizers and cocktails right after the reception - with the space flowing very nicely from start to finish. And it photographs so well too!”
