Perfect Venue!
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.
Better than I could have hoped for!
Truly the hotel was better than we could have imagined. They were so communicative and mindful of this being our special day. The quality of the hotel is so high to begin with. We brought in a wedding planner as well and they worked so well together. Our guests stayed at the hotel as well and teh whole event was absolutely flawless.
Dream wedding venue!
I had my wedding at the Hotel Du Pont in December and I don’t even know how to begin to describe how wonderful it was. The coordinators - Sandy, Jamie, and Amalia were so gracious and made every step of the planning process seamless. They covered every detail and provided me with so many wonderful options. The day of the wedding was perfection as the ladies helped with any set up and all of the small details while I was getting ready. I truly had no worries and everything went to plan. The hotel itself is just absolutely breathtaking. It’s timeless and elegant. It was also really nice to have the ceremony, reception, and guests stay all in one place. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was and how attentive the staff was to their every need. Thank you to the Hotel DuPont for making our dream wedding a reality
Hotel DuPont was a dream come true!!!
Jamie was truly amazing to work with! She is so kind, amazing at communicating and truly helped to make sure every detail was taken care of and that everything flowed well for the big day. Our wedding at Hotel Dupont was a dream come true! It is so beautiful and the staff are so friendly and accommodating! Our guests are still raving to us how amazing the wedding was! :)
