Tip

I love the history of this hotel, it's décor and its grand ballroom. Presidents, and world leaders have stayed here. It reminds me of Paris or a room at Versailles....elegant and timeless! There are locations in and around the hotel that will work well for photos as well as some scenic parks and gardens that are within a 10 minute drive. Take some time to research the area as this part of northern Delaware has plenty to offer. And if you can create enough space in your wedding day timeline, the beauty of Longwood Gardens is only 25 minutes from the venue!
