DeLille Cellars Estate

at a minimal decoration was needed for my wedding. Outdoor wedding by the pond was cool even in summer because of the trees and shades. Diane has been really helpful and super nice throughout the entire process. My wedding was perfect at DeLille!

n the process of booking her wedding for next summer after attending our wedding last month.

rk with and quick to answer any and all of our questions. The setting is so gorgeous and really made our wedding memorable and special.

lassic décor inside meant that very little additional décor was necessary. We were married in the main room in front of the fireplace and it was so romantic. We were lucky with the weather and it was a beautiful fall day, but even if it had been raining everything still would have been great. Our guests were very complimentary of the venue. We would definitely recommend DeLille for a wedding!

l and he was so kind; he even gave us a very generous wedding gift (Go Hawks!). The venue didn't come with any rentals or catering. Which we didn't mind, it really helped us make our wedding day personalized.

g it on our wedding day all set up was really incredible. It is immersed in green and everything is kept up so well. My husband is Italian and we were trying to include a little Italian feel in our special day and the landscape and the views definitely gave it a Tuscan countryside feel. Our ceremony was held outside and it felt to magical. Guests still tell us how breathtaking the venue was. I am so happy that we chose to get married here and would highly recommend it!

e process. Highly recommended!!

taking, and the staff are so very pleasant to work with. Arriving at DeLille is like stepping into the European Countryside (sans the 12 hour flight). Just between Woodinville and Redmond, it is very convenient to folks coming from all over the Seattle area. I toured about 7 venues prior to finding DeLille, and I am so glad that I didn't settle for a venue (I was close, because I got tired of looking). There are so many old victorian houses as wedding venues -- which is just our thing. DeLille is one of a kind. We got married on the 4th of July, and had such a perfect day. The wine was divine, and our wedding could not have been more perfect. Thank you DeLille!!!

the first available date for a Saturday was September 1, 2012 – we had to wait 19 months. If your dream wedding is to get married at DeLille during the summer time, make sure to book your venue first. Compared to other venues in the Seattle area, DeLille is quite spendy but you getting great service and a full package. You have the venue for a full 12 hours, decorations (wine barrels, firewood, candles, tea lights, flowers, wood tables, wine boxes, etc.), and a beautiful grounds (gazebo, immaculate landscaping, trees, flower baskets, vines, sheep, ponds, fire pit). We had a s’mores station which was a huge hit. The Estate Manager, Diane Pollard is wonderful to work with. She is flexible, responsive and you can tell she really wants you to have the wedding of your dreams. Since our wedding was on Labor Day Weekend, there were 5 weddings (Thursday – Monday) and Diane introduced all the brides so we could share rentals which saved us a significant amount of money. You are also able to bring in any vendor you choose and can bring your own alcohol ($10 corking fee for non-DeLille wine), which was nice. The only downfall to the venue was the bathrooms. There is one downstairs and one upstairs in the bridal suite. Prior to our ceremony, people were coming up to the bridal suite to use the rest room which was annoying. Overall, this was our dream venue and guests are still raving about how beautiful our wedding was.

that weekend so we could share some rentals. The grounds are spectacular and made for amazing photos. DeLille throws in lots of extras to make it easier to decorate (hundreds of candles/candelabras, flowers from the grounds, wine barrels, firewood and more) and the staff is very nice. I missed the part in our contract where we needed to buy a case of their wine, so it was a little bit of a bummer when we found that out. Since we don't drink much wine, $32+/bottle was a little hard to chew. Aside from the cost, DeLille was amazing and I wouldn't change our decision. In fact, I keep asking my husband if we can do it there again in 10 years :-) But if there was one thing I could change about DeLille, it would be to have more restrooms. There is one downstairs and another upstairs (where the bridal changing area is), but it isn't enough. While we were signing our marriage certificate and getting my dress bustled, guests kept coming up to use the restroom and it was pretty annoying. Ultimately, DeLille provided the perfect venue for our garden wedding for 110 guests.

ork with, and DeLille is very accommodating when it comes to the scheduling and set-up of your event. We had the pleasure to hold our wedding at DeLille this past July, and everyone loved the venue. The only negatives I would give is that they only have 2 restrooms; one on the bottom floor near the entry to the chateau, and the other is in the bridal suite upstairs (no bathroom on the event floor). It would be nice to have paved paths leading up to the large beautiful pond, and leading up to the flat space where most wedding ceremonies take place. Overall though, I still give DeLille 5 stars.

you'd like.

bsolutely perfect. The grounds are stunning as is the building. It is already very beautiful, so not a lot of decoration is necessary, which is really nice! DeLille only books one wedding/event per day, so you get the venue for a full 12 hours for pictures, set up, etc. Diane is great to work with, flexible and very responsive. Despite some crazy winter weather, we could not have asked for a more special and perfect day at DeLille.

o work with. When we went to look at the venue, she poured us a glass of wine and let us take our time looking at the chateau and the grounds. We fell in love with the incredible beauty of the venue and we knew it was perfect for the outdoor wedding that I had always wanted. Diane even put me in contact with the couple that was getting married the day before us, so we could split the costs of our weekend tent, table and chair rentals. It saved both couples a significant amount of money and we greatly appreciated her thoughtfulness. Months later, we still have people commenting on how beautiful the wedding was and how much they loved DeLille. We were blessed with beautiful weather for the outdoor ceremony tucked away in the trees by the pond, cocktail hour in the gazebo, dinner and reception on the patio and a long night of dancing in the romantic chateau. My husband and I could not have been any happier with our choice of venue for our wedding. It was perfect. Also, DeLille Cellars was named "Best Place for Intimate Weddings" by Seattle Bride Magazine in 2011, so if you are considering it for your wedding, book early!

both. Out of the wineries we looked at that would be a good fit for the number of people we expected (around 100, but they can accommodate a larger party), only DeLille Cellars truly captured the feeling we were looking for. Outside, where we intended to have the ceremony, there is a pond next to a clearing, surrounded by trees. It's a very intimate setting, with electrical outlets run out to plug in speakers or any other equipment you may need. We ended up moving the ceremony indoors due to high winds, rather than rain. Our guests were still encouraged to wander around outside and explore the area, and we were still able to have our photos done outdoors. We did not feel let down at all by the change. We stood in front of the large fireplace, and candles were lit around the room, giving it an intimate feeling. The room has exposed beams and tapestries on the wall, giving the hall a very classic, warm and welcoming feel. DeLille Cellars coordinates only one wedding per day, so you do not have to worry about timing. The 12 hours you have there are completely yours. No one is going to run over time forcing you to push things back, and you get to chose which 12 hours you want, they are not set hours! When we reserved the space, they gave us a list of preferred vendors, but did not require that we use them. We went with one of the suggested caterers because they know how to best use the space, and their food really was superb! Being a winery, the wines are fantastic! Naturally they encourage you to purchase and serve theirs, but you don’t have to. There is NO corkage fee for bringing in outside wines that they do not have an equivalent of, and they allow you to work through your caterer to have a full bar.

events same day to make sure everything is stress free. I would reccomend having a paper trail of everything discusses, but it was a pleasure to work with this venue.

ve the perfect amount of shade from the sun. We also had our reception here in the winery. It was perfect size for our 200 people wedding. Everyone had room inside for dancing and we had all our tables outside under a part tent. Delille Cellars made my wedding a fairytale wedding.

you have a lot of people who are mobility challenged, you might want to reconsider. There are hills and gravel and few bathroom options for those in wheelchairs. The beauty of this venue really made out wedding.

oden table and some barrels for use. This would have saved me money on rentals, but oh well. Everyone was so nice!

s well. The layout flowed so well for a party under 150.;Make sure you are firm that you would like the venue for the whole day. Other than that they were a joy to work with.
