Dell-Lea Weddings & Events

e state shut down, I emailed our coordinator asking about cancellation policies. Instead of an email, I got a personal phonecall from David and Toutou, the owners, who walked me through our potential options if COVID continued. (Spoiler: it did). Once the shutdown was extended into May, I was contacted again with the option to cancel, reschedule, or hold a microwedding. We chose to postpone to August. After a small hiccup in securing a new date, we were able to move forward with 8/14/2020. Again, throughout this entire process, Ashley was incredibly helpful, responsive, and very polite when reminding me about updated timelines that I was definitely missing. When we had last minute guest list changes, even up until the day of the wedding, Ashley was working non-stop to make sure each table had the right number of seats. In addition to having the best food I've ever had at a wedding (seriously, put the butternut squash ravioli on your menu. We paid slightly more to replace the lasagna as the vegetarian buffet option and do not regret it one bit), Dell-Lea has beautiful grounds. We got our pictures back today and I'm sad that we didn't take even more time to explore to get pictures by the pond, on the wagon, in front of the house - seriously we could have been taking pictures for 3 hours and would have barely made a dent in the number of beautiful locations on this property. If you are looking for a venue with food, bar, ceremony, and reception all on site, this is the one you want. Dell-Lea is gorgeous, the staff are all friendly, and every single person there worked hard to keep us safe. Of our 40 person wedding, no one got sick. Dell-Lea was upfront about the costs and fees associated with our wedding (which was much appreciated) and continued to send us updated receipts when we changed from Saturday to Friday and dropped from 100 people to 40. Every single attendee from the wedding has raved about Dell-Lea. This was the perfect place to get married, and I am thrilled that they were a part of our big day. Do yourself a favor and contact Ashley ASAP!

photo opportunities this place has them all. The owner Toutou is great and so attentive especially during this whole covid situation. Ashley was our coordinator and was amazing, my bridal party and everyone involved in the wedding couldn’t tell me enough how great Ashley was. The food was perfect we loved it and our guests gave us many compliments on how delicious everything was. So in short this place is all around just perfect, I would recommend it to anyone.

t so incredibly welcomed from the second we toured the venue. It also the most beautiful venue I have ever seen. The grounds are so well kept and all my guests said it took their breath away! You will not go wrong choosing Dell-Lea ❤️

the beautiful building, to the wonderful food and service, to us it was perfect. Dave & Toutou were the most wonderful gracious hosts.

rything. I recommend Dell-Lea 110%

food they provide, you really cant go wrong. If you're looking for a rustic venue with beautiful views at a reasonable price look no further than the Dell Lea!

azy bride mind! I love the owners, they almost made us feel like we were coming into their home to get married. You can see the pride they take in their space- it shows in every detail. Ashley, the coordinator, was FANTASTIC. she was on top of everything via email and so quick to respond. For the day of, she took care of my family, kept us on track without being pushy, and made sure every tiny thing went perfectly. I know they have 3 weddings there a weekend, but Ashley made us feel so special. She brought a tray of drinks and appetizers to my husband and I as we were getting our pictures taken outside after our ceremony so we didn't have to miss out! appetizers are my favorite food :) On top of having David and Toutou and Ashley being incredible, the space itself and the location is breathtaking. No one could stop talking about how beautiful it was. My husband and I always wanted to get married in the foliage and this was the PERFECT spot for that. And you know what they say about wedding food? well, this wedding food is amazing. The roast beef, the crab rangoons, the squash- all of it. *chef's kiss* They also were so accommodating to the 2 guests that had gluten allergies; they brought out gluten free plates for them and offered them sorbet while we were cutting our cake. The drinks too, were fantastic. They thought of everything. So to the staff (who were all so lovely), David and Toutou, and Ashley- were are eternally grateful to you for exceeding our expectations. If we could do it all over again we would! and no where else but the Dell-Lea. THANK YOU THANK YOU. You are etched in our hearts forever!

op for a NH wedding. Ashley's ability to communicate and coordinate professionally but with an innate 'warmth' was flawless. Nothing was missed or overlooked. The food was amazing. We had the baked stuffed chicken, teriyaki salmon and prime rib and reports from all guests were that all of the meals were portioned generously and were delicious! Our JP was late to our rehearsal, so Toutou jumped in spontaneously and went through our entire ceremony with us so we knew what we were doing on the day of. This venue went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and to ensure our guests were comfortable and happy the entire day. Many of our family and friends continuously rave about our wedding with multiple people expressing that it's the best wedding they've ever been to! Thank you Dell-Lea for making this day happen! You will always hold a special place in our hearts! -Ashley and Jeff

y always responded to us quickly and met with us after hours when we needed them to. The grounds are beautiful and great for pictures! We also got so many compliments on the food; it was some of the best wedding food we have ever had! Thank you for making our day so perfect! We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a picturesque venue with amazing owners. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same otherwise!

ere always available to answer any and all questions I had (and I had A LOT), were extremely accommodating, and just all around great people to work with! The food was amazing, our guests couldn't stop raving about it! The inside of the venue was elegant but cozy, the bartenders were awesome, and the landscaping on the outside was beautiful! David, Toutou, and Ashley were extremely organized and basically had everything down to a science, which made the stress of wedding planning a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in NH!

ial! I’ll never forget it!

iews!

d and Toutou were amazing and Ashley made sure that everything was perfect for us! They even made picking up decorations and leftover food the next day easy and stress free! They truly made sure that I wasn't worried about the small things during the wedding, even taking care of some issues that occurred during the wedding without a big scene (the only reason I knew about the issue is that we had people tell us the next day). All in all, they took THE BEST care of us and I would give them a higher rating if it were available!

shed. The venue is beyond beautiful, the food was delicious and Toutou kept everyone moving along like clockwork but you rarely saw her, she was amazing and so accommodating ! I found Dell Lea’s prices to very fair as well! I hated for the night to end! It was a magical night ! Thank you Toutou!

from the start and quick to respond to any questions that I had. Ashley was our event coordinator and I am so grateful for her! From the details meeting to the rehearsal to the day of. She was very organized, kept us on schedule and helped everything to move smoothly so that I had nothing to worry about. Our flower petals went missing right before the ceremony and she was able to find purple rose petals that were left over from a previous wedding ceremony and also called my florist to see if she could find the petals. Between Ashley and my florist they were able to create a new batch of flower petals for the girls to throw down the aisle. I appreciate that she was quick to think of a solution. The food was delicious and the selection at the bar was great! The bartenders are also very friendly and helpful. Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an affordable venue without sacrificing quality!

h. Ashley was there the whole step of the way answering every question I had, no matter how tedious. And when there was a little mishap in communication between the dj and the transportation the night of our wedding, TouTou came right over to make sure everything was taken care of, and told me not to worry a second about anything. I can not recommend this venue enough. Everything that had to do with our day was absolutely perfect, and I’m certain it was because of Ashley, David and TouTou. I was married 8/16/2019, and every day since then I have had guests message me about how amazing the night was. And I give all the credit to Dell-Lea.

nveniently located and checked off all my boxes. From the start, Ashely was absolutely amazing to work with. When I say I had a million questions, I mean it, and she answered every single one. She went out of her way to reassure us everything was ready to go and she made sure our day was absolutely amazing. We did a lot of planning and chatting through email which was perfect since I couldn’t be there in person. When it came time for our wedding day, everything was perfect. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all well planned and executed and the staff at Dell-Lea are by far some of the most kind individuals I have ever met. Our day was more than amazing and with Ashley and Dell- Lea’s help, my dream wedding day finally came true. Our guests are still raving about the beauty of the venue, the food and drinks, and just how much they enjoyed our wedding. I hands down would recommend Dell-Lea to anyone, whether they live in NH or not.

rything flowing smoothly the whole night. They accommodated our requests to make our wedding special. Ashley helped us with some last minute changes and did it with grace. And for that we are forever thankful! Everyone was in awe of how beautiful it was. Thank you Dell-Lea for the best night ever!

special meals for my husband and I.

is beyond gorgeous and so charming. The service is top notch and very professional while still feeling like family. From only a guests stand point, I can truly tell you this place is a hidden gem. My friend and her husband had the wedding of their dreams because of the love and care of TouTou and her staff.

my concerns. Any couple looking to get your monies worth, this is the place. Look no further. No matter your vision, these folks will make it happen for you.

d Ashley were the best and can’t thank them enough for all their help!!! No matter how many emails my husband and I sent asking random questions or wanting to make changes here and there, they always were so helpful!! The venue isn’t only beautiful the food is absolutely AMAZING!! Since both my husband and I are both in the culinary field our guests were expecting amazing food and Dell Lea delivered!! Thank you all so so much for such an perfect day!!

ced and a great location, all of our wedding guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how professional the staff were during the wedding. David, Toutou, and Ashley are absolutely amazing, easy to work with, accommodating, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure all the little details and kinks are worked out. They even special ordered some craft beer from their vendor for my husband and accommodated a few guests with severe food allergies. Our guests also commented on how amazing the food tasted, some even saying it’s the best wedding food they had ever eaten! My husband and I are so happy we had our wedding at Dell-Lea and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous wedding venue with excellent service, beautiful scenery outside and inside, delicious food, and professional owners and staff. Thankyou Dell-lea for a perfectly memorable wedding for us and our guests!

hing was easy and seamless. We wanted to get married outdoors and this venue has amazing views and an amazing backdrop for photos. We received so many compliments on the food and service and many people asked how we had found the Dell-Lea! Couldn’t have chosen a better place!

g about this venue is that there are too many beautiful places to take pictures!"- which is the best problem to have! What is incredible is the amount of quality and service you receive for the value. This was the most affordable venue we looked at, but it had the highest quality as well. The food and drinks are absolutely outstanding here, which is a wonderful bonus. They have a wide variety of food options as well. Toutou was our main wedding coordinator for our big day. She made both of our families feel welcome from day one- greeting us with hugs every time we would come for a visit or a meeting. She was easy to talk to and made everyone feel at home. I have a brother who has autism and Tourette's syndrome and Toutou made him feel so calm and at home at Dell Lea that he was able to get through the wedding with ease- she even made him some extra crab rang goons when he found out they had all been eaten. Most importantly, she made the day run seamlessly and she was involved in every aspect of the night moving smoothly. She kept us on time and made sure we knew where we needed to be. We would have been lost without her. I HIGHLY recommend Dell Lea for your wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better venue!

to enjoy the beautiful outdoors but also be able to have a comfortable and elegant indoor reception. Dell-Lea offers picture perfect views and backgrounds with perfectly manicured lawns and gardens. This venue took our guests breath away both inside and out. The inside is a spectacular mix of rustic elegance that is the perfect amount of cozy but classy. All our guests could not stop raving all night about how beautiful everything was and "Where did you find this place?!" Air conditioning for a July wedding was a must for us but we still got to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space while being comfortable inside with big picture windows to see out. The owners David and Toutou and their wedding coordinator Ashley work hard to make sure every bride and groom has the perfect day. They are skilled at being on the sidelines making everything run smoothly but also being there for whatever you need. They are very responsive and everything went so smoothly with their help and organization including all pre-planning and the day of coordination. I can confidently say we never could have afforded our dream wedding with 175 guests if we hadn't found the Dell-Lea. Their prices are incredibly reasonable and the food and drink were delicious and plentiful. They are absolutely worth every penny and you will save thousands compared to similar venues offering food for double the price. We are so happy we found this hidden gem and could not have had a more perfect experience working with the Dell-Lea.

ers David and Toutou are much better than the old ones also ! the old ones scared my florist ;( so she was very happy about these ones!) Also a huge plus was that this venue literally provides everything for you linens, catering, tables and chairs and they include the cake and they do a ceremony on site ! Which makes everything so much easier I can't tell you how many venues I researched and found that they didn't include ANYTHING. No one had to drive to another site for photos and then the reception it was literally all right there which made it so much easier and painless. On my wedding day I had no stress everything was perfect as it should be the owners were incredible and helped with everything I don't regret a thing!...… P.S they allowed me to be fly in on a helicopter for my entrance so you know they have to be the guys to go with ;)

ing! Ashley is an awesome coordinator and made sure everything went off without a hitch! I can’t say enough great things about this venue!!! Guests were blown away and are constantly telling us it was the best wedding venue they’ve seen!!!

the rest! The attention to detail and out-of-this-world food (just about every guest made comments to us about how delicious the food was and how their expectations of “wedding food” were far exceeded! Our guests all RAVED about the Blue Cheese Steak Tips and Chicken Cordon Blue)! Their prices are extremely reasonable and their packages include many things that are itemized at other venues. They are very sweet and kind and treat all of their clients and guests with the utmost respect, truly going above and beyond!!! I can’t say enough good things about this venue!!!! Book your event NOW and you will NOT be disappointed.

s wonderful and the entire atmosphere is absolutely perfect. There are countless beautiful spots for photos and we have not stopped receiving positive comments from guests about how much they loved it!

ea: the perfect views, the spacious (and CLEAN) barn, the food, the roomy dance floor, and the value. We feel that we had a gorgeous big wedding on a small budget. We did use some decorations, but the space is so pretty that it doesn't need much. We had an outside ceremony, our reception in the barn, a buffet for dinner, cash bar, and a DJ. Everything was timed and coordinated perfectly, and everyone had a great time. We are so grateful to have learned about Dell Lea, and can't wait to spread the word. Thank you!

e were called outside for pictures and we had all just gotten drinks put them down on the table and when we got back the table was cleared, someone went to the manger to say something to see if we could get the issues resolved and the drinks replaced and she replied " I can assure you none of that happened my staff wouldn't do that". We were also were called to eat and the second we sat down the same woman came to the table and told everyone if they were going to want more food to go now she was going to clear the buffet opposed to every other table where a nice gentleman approached everyone asking how they were enjoying there meal etc. The staff then refused to clear the table because of the prior incident and left us with piles of dishes and tried to bring more plates with the cake on it. Once again someone went to the manager to see if we could get the table cleared and she was once again awful and rude, we tried to get the managers name to speak to the owner after and she refused to give it to us. The venue also sticks to a very strict timeline and you have no say, the bride and groom had finished taking pictures and weren't allowed to come in yet because it wasn't time according to the venue, after everyone was in seated there were long silent gaps because the dj was not allowed to start music yet and they had to control the order of everything.... Stay far away from this place if you want your guests to enjoy the wedding.

nd I greatly appreciated that. We got so many compliments on the food and staff which was great. This is a very affordable and beautiful venue and I could not recommend this venue enough!

ests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. Toutou and David are extremely detail oriented, very responsive and so sweet! Thank you for giving me my dream wedding!

ts to the whole team for working sohard to make my daughters wedding a wonderful experience! If you are planning a wedding and looking for a venue, take a drive and look at this little piece of heaven, you will not want to leave!

iews.The food is the best we ever had.There she wait staff is second to no one.You can save a lot of time and money by just making this your first stop when looking for a venue.I can't thank you enough for making our daughters big day the best ever.We just loved everything.A+A+A+A+A+A

new owners taking over before our wedding, but I honestly think it was a blessing in disguise. It was such a pleasure to work with you both. We just want to say thank you to all of your incredible staff, everyone was super professional and accommodating and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you and best of luck in your new endeavor! It's evident that you guys will be super successful <3

just a month before my wedding date and I had been working with the previous owners for the last year. Toutou and Dave did such an amazing job and made me feel so comfortable. You can tell they have a true passion for this. They were both extremely accommodating and were open to all of the ideas I had. I sent over 2 sangria recipes that I wanted to have as signature drinks at the wedding and the bartender nailed it! All of my guests raved about the drinks and the food. I was also nervous about the food because the venue does not offer menu tastings, however the food was amazing and I would advise any future couples to not worry about this at all. Now that it is all said and done, I am glad there was not a tasting because it was one less thing I had to do and worry about. We chose buffet style and there was PLENTY! Many of my guests went up for seconds, which I loved because many other venues serve such small portion sizes. Service, food, drinks, atmosphere, pricing...I have nothing bad to say. My wedding day was exactly what I wanted and more and my husband and I did not go broke doing it! I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, thank you!

eased. David and Tutu, were knowledgeable, amazingly accommodating and calm in spirit, just what a frazzled mother of the bride or bride need. David even changed out the chairs for our 90 guests when he felt, as did we, that the white chairs better fit the decorative feel of my daughter's wedding. I was thoroughly impressed with the beautiful venue, the grounds, the delicious food, but most of all with the kindness of David and Tutu. I would recommend this venue highly and without reservation.

ay of your life. We received so many compliments from our guests not only on the venue but the food as well (which is awesomely delicious). If you're looking for a beautiful NH wedding location, with options for some awesome wedding photos, Dell-Lea is definitely the place to be!

ceremony arrangement. He checked in with me several times and we waited as long as we could. Luckily, it stopped raining just in time, and Brandon and his team went outside and dried off the chairs quickly. The venue is so beautiful we didn't feel like we needed to add much in terms of decorations, and all of our guests couldn't say enough about how charming the place is. Very quiet, very peaceful. We had the best day! Thank you, Brandon and Katrina!

from $17-30 per person, a really affordable price for amazing quality. Everything went off without a single glitch! Will recommend this venue to all future brides!

crazy paranoid moments. I highly suggest this venue.

function hall was perfect! We saw the venue before they added the addition, and that made it 10 times better! Our guests of 105 fit comfortably and there was so much space. It was great to see the property through the wonderful windows. We found Dell Lea to be the most affordable venue that met all of our needs. We had a buffet style dinner and the food was amazing! They were very helpful when we requested a special plate put aside for a guest with dietary restrictions. They answered all of our questions throughout the process. We are so happy that we were able to have our wedding at Dell Lea because it was a perfect venue for us and our wedding.

re in awe of how beautiful the venue was, and the food was delicious! There was plenty for everybody and they even offered guests seconds! If you want an intimate and beautiful ceremony and reception Dell Lea is your place. Thank you so much Katrina!

and kind, and went out of her way to make sure everything was as we wanted it. I could never say enough good things about Dell-Lea. Book your wedding there...you will be SO thankful you did!

ent at this venue, you will not be disappointed.

enough about how yummy the food was, how great the drinks were, and how helpful the staff is. It's such a perfect setting! I can't even put into words how fabulous everyone and everything is at the Dell Lea! Amazing! Thank you for a wonderful day that we will never forget!

tables, chairs, apps, food, drinks for you there - all you do is bring yourself and the decor. Simple, beautiful and just awesome! They have been doing it 18 years by just word of mouth and booked every weekend from spring to fall - and this is without having a website - just speaks to their success.

one who got married there has pictures online that weren't 'private' so I was able to see what the inside looked like. I wasn't impressed, I thought it looked dark and shabby. At a friend's insistance (she knew the owner, Katrina, through her gym) I called her. I liked the sound of the prices and Katrina sounded nice, so we decided to go look, just in case. Well... we walked in there and fell in love instantly with it! It's absolutely gorgeous. The finished wood walls and the big chandeliers that actually seem to belong in this barn, rather than a ballroom... The pictures I saw online must have been taken with a cheap camera (they weren't the girl's professional pics, just taken by someone while they were setting up), b/c this place looked nothing like the photos I saw. Katrina was very accomodating about everything we wanted to do. She caters the events, so there is no outside catering allowed, but her prices are so reasonable you won't care. She doesn't do tastings, but don't worry, everybody has been telling us when we see them that the food was so awesome, nothing like that dried out chicken you usually get (at fancy places for way more money!). We had a BBQ buffet (with some tweaks to make it more 'wedding' and less 'backyard cookout'). While you can hold your ceremony here, we didn't b/c I'm a planner and couldn't deal with the not knowing if it would rain. We got married in a church nearby, but seeing that we had the most perfect weather that day, I really wish we had held it here. The scenery is beautiful, both in the front and the back. Our pictures from here are gorgeous (the church? not so much..) During the reception, I hadn't expected to see Katrina, I thought she'd be in the back taking care of whatever, but she was right out there, with her girls, setting up and serving the buffet, taking care of whatever needed to be done. She and the waitresses were great, afterwards I heard of a few times they were needed and they were right on top of everything! And everyone has been positively gushing over how much they loved it here. I always lean toward the more unique, do-it-yourself things. While a wedding at a fancy ballroom is certainly beautiful, I don't want to pick a centerpiece out of a list of options, or have anything that people have seen done at every other wedding. And I carried that thought through every step of planning my wedding...starting with this perfect backdrop. The Dell Lea may technically be named the 'Dell Lea Country Club' but don't let that fool you. It is a gorgeous, country barn that couldn't be more perfect.

They do their own food, serving staff and bar tender include, ceremony on site, easy to work with, great with details and always quick to respond. Everything was made simple at this venue. Katrina is great at facilitating a seamless reception and full wedding experience. I would recommend this venue to everyone. Might I add this is very budget friendly as well!!
