A Wedding With Wilmington's Finest

Imagine your dream wedding. Is it an intimate affair or a grand event? Is your reception going to be traditional and elegant or distinctive and filled with flair? Have you ever considered having a team of specialists dedicated to the comfort and overall success of your wedding day? Everything you are dreaming about can be found in the du Pont Wedding Collection.

The Brantwyn Estate is a member of the great du Pont family of properties and is seemingly designed for a relaxing affair in Georgian mansion surroundings. Betsy and Paul's friends and family moved from room to room for dinner and dancing throughout the night, but the celebration began with a decadent cocktail hour and a first dance shared outside on the well-manicured terrace.

After a fabulous meal, the guests all made their way first to the foyer for the cutting of the cake, then progressed back to the Music Room for some dancing that did not stop all night long.

Again, guests were able to come in to enjoy all their favorite song requests, but if they wanted to step out on the plantation-like ground for a stroll under the stars, the venue was without boundaries.

I must admit, this location is extremely difficult for anyone providing entertainment. Given the multiple rooms that require sound coverage, a DJ could run miles of wires from room to room, or you could have done it my way. Wireless. Clean, rich, sharp.

It was a great event that I was truly honored to be a part of. Don't forget to check out the pictures!

Congratulations, Betsy & Paul!
