The Hotel du Pont is luxury redefined. Located in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington, Delaware, this internationally renowned facility caters to the most sophisticated style and the demand for exceptional quality. If you expect the best, you can find it in the walls of the Hotel du Pont.

Candace and Ralph's wedding day was absolutely no exception.

Starting with a cocktail hour hosted in the Du Barry Ballroom, the always decadent presentation displayed by the staff of the Hotel du Pont was without flaw.

After cocktail hour ended, the guests adjourned to the Gold Ballroom, enjoying a choreographed first dance by the bride and groom. Their first dance was a rumba, a sensual Latin dance, known for its relatively slow rhythm and the hip movement.

During dinner, the guets were treated to the vocal stylings of Don Felice, an Italian crooner hailing from Molise, Italy. He was not only very entertaining, but was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

After dinner, the lights dimmed and the chefs of Hotel du Pont wheeled out four golden carts to the center of the room to prepare a flambéd Baked Alaska.

I have seen numerous facilities attempt to properly prepare flambéd Cherries Jubilee, Bananas Foster, and Baked Alaska, but no one does it with the distinct flair and panache as Hotel du Pont. Just awesome...

Candace and Ralph's guests filled the floor from start to finish, dancing the night away and taking time here and there to congratulate the newlyweds.

Congratulations, Candace and Ralph!
