WEDDINGS at HOTEL du VILLAGE


Searching for an elegant country French chateau to host your wedding? Yearning for manicured gardens alongside bucolic open fields and panoramic views for your ceremony and reception? Hotel du Village may be exactly what you’re looking for. Wonderful architecture and a bit of whimsy will transport your guests to the French countryside and give you stunning and even quirky backdrops for your wedding photos. It's a wonderful visual treat, and it's a place I love to create incredible wedding images. Here's some important info to help you make your decision:


HOW MUCH DOES A HOTEL du VILLAGE WEDDING COST?

Pricing starts at $190 per person for a 5 hour event. Depending of what enhancements you choose will increase that quite a bit. Many extras are offered for your Hotel du Village wedding, and I have pricing below.

Premium pricing applies to Saturdays in peak season, which means those in May, June, September and October.


CEREMONIES

On-site ceremonies are offered. I’ve photographed weddings at Hotel du Village which were held both on the side patio and also on the back patio immediately behind the Historic ballroom.

Keep in mind when planning your wedding day timeline for Hotel du Village; they can host two weddings simultaneously, and in some cases there could be separate wedding parties on different parts of the same patio surrounded by some container trees.

There is a $15 per guest ceremony fee.

Your ceremony and cocktail hour can be held either indoors or out.


RECEPTIONS

Couples have their choice of two ballrooms; The Colt ballroom, which has a capacity of 240 people, and the Historic ballroom, with a capacity of 160. The Colt ballroom has a really cool and unique original 1700’s fireplace detailed in copper, which looks stunning decorated by your florist. It’s the focal point of this large room which features hardwood floors, wooden beams and a 10-foot ceiling. I usually see the head table placed so that this fireplace serves as the couple’s elegant background, and it is wonderful for photos. Skylights contribute natural light, and an attached foyer offers views of the surrounding countryside. It opens to a pre-function room which overlooks the manicured gardens and the Delaware River.

Those having their wedding in the Colt ballroom also enjoy the upstairs loft for cocktails and post-party dancing.

The Historic ballroom has a reclaimed wood ceiling and a beautiful original bar. Large windows overlook the patio, where stone tables with built-in fire pits and expansive areas for seating await your guests who wish to mingle and enjoy the outdoors.

There is also a cigar room and game room, perfect for keeping guests entertained.


GETTING READY

There are two large airy bridal suites on the top floor of this Tudor-style event venue, which once served as a private home and then a school. Hotel du Village has the vibe of a private European country estate mixing vintage and modern amenities.
