The Delaware Contemporary

Meagan was fabulous! She always answered my emails within 24 hours and was always available for questions. She gave me ideas on how the venue would be set up and then proceeded to set everything up exactly how I dreamed. She followed up with vendors to make sure everything was coordinated properly. She helped me have my dream wedding. The venue itself was really cool! During cocktail hour, there was a scavenger hunt through the exhibits. The dance floor was set up in the middle of the lobby, with the dinner tables around it. We loved this venue!

We used Delaware Contemporary for my daughters wedding, and are completely delighted with our choice! Meagan (from Delaware Contemporary) was extremely helpful, and the 'blank slate' nature of the venue allowed us to add many personal touches which resulted in a very personalized, individual wedding vs. a 'cookie cutter' feel. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the venue was! Keeping the entire event down by the waterfront was wonderful - we used the Contemporary's discounted rate for the Westin, the nearby Environmental Center for the couples photographs, waterfront restaurants for the rehearsal dinner, and for the event itself, everything in one place (wedding was in the auditorium, cocktails in the galleries, reception in the lobby) was wonderful! It gave an upbeat urban feel to a very comfortable location, convenient to our local Wilmington guests as well as our out of town guests who ranged from Virginia to New York. The wedding was everything my daughter and her husband had wanted - and the Delaware Contemporary made it possible!

My husband and I choose this vendor because we wanted to have a relaxed, more of a party type wedding and it was everything we could ask for. Ashlee who coordinated the event was excellent to work with and made our planning a whole lot easier. She reached out to all of our other vendors to make sure they were able to get in a set up. We would definitely go here again!!!!

Many guests complemented my choice. The venue is a restored factory building with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, which is a unique style and I chose to use minimal decoration to highlight the beauty of the venue itself. Ashlee Lukoff, the Director of Special Events was incredible to work with. She helped to create my vision, but also provided information she has learned from her experience about things that would work best in the space, such as table arrangements. I would recommend this venue to anyone.
