“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.”

“Each and every time I arrive on location to officiate a wedding at Riverfront Events I am greeted with smiles and great enthusiasm! As a professional, I look for the little things that mean the most when collaborating efforts with other wedding vendors. We all have the same client, and the Riverfronts team surpasses my high standards. I look forward to going there every time. We communicate beautifully via email and in person. At a recent wedding, I noticed the team turning over a ceremony space into the reception area and I couldn't take my eyes off of them. They worked fast, precise, and in tandem. The food is also delicious! The servers pay attention to everyone! My ceremonies run like clockwork with Yassmin, Valerri, and Kelly. The space is esthetically beautiful, bright and clean, and conveniently located. Riverfront Events can EASILY accommodate small to huge weddings. I understand what it takes to pull off a successful event--a lot of behind-the-scenes prep. So, each time a wedding couple books me for this venue I get very excited knowing everyone involved is going to have a great experience! Riverfront Events is on board and ready to sail regardless of your destination!”

“Getting married at the Christiana Hilton was a great decision. We loved the smaller ballroom so we could have an intimate wedding. The ceremony space, ballroom and hotel in general was beautiful. The food was delicious and we keep getting compliments from our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and that food was awesome as well. It was so convenient to arrive Friday afternoon and not have to leave until Sunday. And Katie made it so much easier than I expected. I did not want a venue where I had to do all the work and Katie made it so I did the bare minimum a bride can do and still got a beautiful and personalized wedding. It was a perfect day and weekend!”
