    We had my grandmother’s celebration of life at The Delaware and had a lovely experience. Courtney was amazing to work with from day one. She answered every question we had leading up to the event and ensured the day of went as smoothly as possible. The venue is clean and beautiful with tons of natural light. We received many comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the event space. Parking was convenient and there weren’t too many steps in or out of the venue for all of the elderly guests who attended. We will absolutely host another event here!

    I don’t think there are enough positive words to describe our experience at The Delaware! From the moment we walked in for our first tour of the venue, it became very apparent that we had not only found the perfect place to get married, but also the perfect team to help us execute our dreams. First, the space. The Delaware is GORGEOUS and made for the perfect backdrop for our big day! All the staff were so friendly, accommodating and so helpful throughout the entire process and especially during the day of. We were able to begin setting up the night before along with our rehearsal, which took so much stress off us and made for the most amazing wedding day. Every bit of the space has been so thoughtfully designed and executed to flow and function with intention and beauty, and we’ve received so many compliments from our guests on the venue alone! Second, the people. Courtney is hands down, the absolute BEST. After our tour, before booking, we went home and immediately knew we needed her to help us along the way as our day of coordinator. Throughout the planning process so many of our friends, and even our bridal party often asked if we were getting stressed, and the answer was always no. And that’s because we had Courtney helping with so much of the logistics and our vendors, and just generally having our backs every step of the way. Courtney is the sweetest individual, and her team is just top notch! I’ve had not only our bridal party, but also guests who asked who she was and were just so impressed with the work that she did to make our big day perfect. From creating the timeline, helping coordinate all our vendors, general planning to make sure we were on track, day of logistics, and handling any issues that came up along the way – Courtney and her team handled everything. We can’t imagine our big day without her and are truly so thankful for her!

    Amanda + Tyler! You guys are truly one of the sweetest, kind and thoughtful couples. I cannot say enough how much fun it was to work with you and your family. I so miss our regular meeting and hearing updates about the new house and your lives. Glad we get to follow along on socials :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting myself and The Delaware team with your special day. Your vision was so fun to see develop over the planning period and the photos are DREAMY. A special, fun and memorable day! Thankful for you all and wish you the absolute best!

    We reserved the Delaware event space for Saturday, June 20th to host my baby shower. It was exactly what we were hoping for and needed for the day. The Delaware staff made sure to have the space exceptionally clean for when we arrived and had all of the tables and chairs that we needed ready to go. I love that the Delaware is such a blank slate for however you choose to decorate it for the day. The space is beautiful on its own. But it was fun to transform it to fit our vision for the day. I highly recommend this space. Whether you are looking to book something smaller to rent by the hour or a larger event to rent for the day I am sure you will be happy with your decision. Thank you guys for providing such a lovely space to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our baby!🩵
