Review of The Delafield Hotel

If you want to have the perfect wedding and WOW yo...

If you want to have the perfect wedding and WOW your guests, do not hesitate to book the Delafield Hotel. It was by far the best decision my now Husband and I made when planning our big day. We chose them for three reasons; (1) the hotel is absolutely beautiful; (2) they offer the most delicious food you ll ever taste at a wedding, and (3) they have exceptional staff and service. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was truly perfect. The wedding coordinator Kim, assisted us during our planning, and helped execute all of the prepared details on our wedding day. Throughout our entire planning process, she was easily accessible through e-mail to answer any of our questions. Prior to the wedding she had gone through a checklist of items that we needed to bring for decorations and all the small detailed items we needed to make our wedding day exceptional. If anyone wins the award for being organized and on top of the ball, it s Kim! She even helped us design our cake and had a great understanding of what the pastry chef was capable of creating for our cake design and cupcakes. We received so many compliments on our decadent cupcakes and cake, even from people who normally don t like to eat those types of desserts were impressed with the wonderful flavor. <br/>For our ceremony, we had quite the elaborate setup of 250 cylinder vases filled with water and floating candles on both sides of the aisle, along with white chiffon fabric draped along the aisle chairs. It was Kim and her team that took on the challenge to setup our aisle and fill each vase with water and light the candles. They made sure to account for safety measures and placed the vases far enough from the chairs to avoid having a guest accidently knock one over with their foot. Once they lit all the candles, the room became a magical place filled with warm glowing light. All of our guests were in awe with how beautiful the aisle looked. We have the Delafield Hotel staff to thank for how perfect our ceremony was. Not to mention the amount of time it took to setup all those vases, only to have to tear it all down to transform the room for our reception, in an hour and a half! They were able to do this successfully during our cocktail hour which was held in a separate room, how impressive is that! <br/>The staff made a huge impression on our guest during the reception with their exceptional table service. It was like a well conducted orchestra. When our wedding coordinator Kim, gave a signal to the staff they all put our salad plates down at the same time at our head table. We were all blown away! They also brought the dinner plates to our guests within a record time. The food was hot and so delectable. Our guests were impressed. It was extremely important to us that we had the best food at our wedding, it was the second highest priority on our list. Kim had explained to us how they are known for serving high quality food at an exceptionally quick rate. Basically, from the time the food is done cooking, it goes straight to the guest, rather than sitting under a warmer. During our tasting, we were blown away at how mouthwatering the steak and chicken dishes were, it was nothing we ve ever tasted at the handful of weddings we ve been to. It was like dinning at a high-class restaurant and it translated the same on our wedding night. All of our guests kept raving about their meals as well as the late-night food station we had, which consisted of pizza and truffle fries with aioli. Yum! <br/>To conclude, I would rate the Delafield Hotel 10 out of 5 stars for overall venue, food and service. Absolutely exceptional! I now understand why they are a Four Diamond luxury hotel. They made our wedding a dream come true, and gave us our happily ever after as husband and wife. Thank you Delafield Hotel!!!
