Hockessin Memorial Hall Reviews

Let me just start out by saying my wife and I are excessive planners. We had a vision for our wedding, we knew exactly what we wanted and we had documents that outlined it all. Sarah at Hockessin Memorial Hall took all of our planning in stride...

and not only did she listen to us, she was able to produce the perfect wedding - pulling it right out of our heads and making it happen in person. She took great care of us through the entire experience and on the wedding day handled all the stresses of the day so that we could purely focus on enjoying ourselves. We can't thank Sarah enough for playing such a massive role in our big day and for helping us to make it so perfect and special!

anning everything and answering my million questions! :) The venue was beautiful with plenty of room for my 170+ guest list. The dance floor was so big that it did not feel crowded at all. The food was delicious and cooked right there! The bartenders and servers were socialable and so friendly! Everyone raved about how comfortable the atmosphere was! You would be silly not have your reception there!

We were really impressed with Sarah and with the Hockessin Memorial Hall. The venue is beautiful for all kinds of occasions, and it was wonderfully decorated for our wedding. The dance floor is just right, and the hall is very open and invit...

We held our wedding reception at the Hockessin Memorial Hall in October. It was beautiful. You would never believe that the location was a fire hall. They had a gorgeous tapestry coming down from the ceiling interwoven with Christmas lights, in...

side a huge open space. Everything is newly remodeled and clean. The manager, Sarah Roberts, was incredibly easy to work with, providing open lines of communication and responding quickly to each of our many concerns. Decorations, a variety of food options, a couple of different dessert providers (including Cakes by Kim,) and an open bar were all included in one, easy to understand, inexpensive package. There were no hidden fees, “upsales,” or ploys to draw more money out of us. For one very competitive low price, my bride and I were able to have a wonderful setting for our reception. -The Nickles

I can not be any more pleased with Hockessin Memoriall Hall. My Fiance and I did not have an extremely large budget, so I thought my reception not going to be anything special looking. However, once I discovered Hockessin Memorial Hall I was ve...

ry surprised at how beautiful the hall is. You can not even tell it is a fire hall, as you can obviously tell with others. They have a great all inclusive package and were able to work with us to create a custom package. The service was great, the food was great, the decorations was great. We also had the wedding cake included which was from an amazing bakery, cakes by Kim. Sherri was wonderful to work with and I would recommend this to any bride looking to save money without sacrificing on her venue.
