Gorgeous Venue and Excellent Food
•Verified review

We had an excellent experience with JAM Catering. The food was fresh and delicious, and the tasting helped us confidently choose our menu. Our guests were highly impressed with the food quality. Madeline Sader, our event coordinator, was fantastic to work with—fun, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided us through the planning process smoothly, always quick to respond and offer helpful suggestions. Her expertise really showed, and she made the entire experience enjoyable. Bellevue Hall is a standout venue with a distinctive charm. The spacious bridal and groom’s suites, along with access to the mansion, grounds, and permanent reception tent, provide ample space and a picturesque setting. It offers the feel of a destination wedding without the need for travel. We could also do several walk-throughs at Bellevue Hall, and JAM Catering’s optional upgrades for linens, tables, and décor were a great way to customize the space. We added fun extras like a BBQ station, a pretzel jar, and a gelato cart, which were big hits with our guests. The staff on the day of the event was excellent. They kept everything running on time, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about the schedule. The service during the event was attentive and efficient, ensuring everything went smoothly for us and our guests. Overall, JAM Catering delivered on both quality and service, and we’re very happy with how everything turned out. We recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event with great food and professional service.

We had our tasting with Jeffrey Miller Catering here at the Bellevue Hall and the experience was fantastic. They brought out a large variety of food and it was great to see the different cuisines they can serve. The venue itself was large and could fit a good number of people in it.

We are having our wedding at Bellevue Hall and could not have been happier with the venue and staff. Our wedding planner was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, answering all of our questions promptly and making sure we understood every detail before the big day. The hall itself is absolutely gorgeous with stunning architecture and beautiful outdoor spaces for photos. From the planning process to the event execution, Bellevue Hall exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a picture-perfect wedding venue with top-notch coordinators invested in creating your dream day.

We are so excited to have our wedding at Bellevue Hall! We love how the different spaces flow together - from the delightful gardens, lovely mansion with DuPont history inside, and the charming permanent tent (great savings - tents are expensive!). As a nice bonus, choosing Bellevue Hall as our venue also supports Delaware State Parks!
