“Darby House is such a beautiful space for both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies. The reception area is just as dreamy. The second I went to tour Darby House, I could immediately envision my wedding day there. Now, after having my wedding, I can say that it was everything I could have dreamed of and more. The staff were so friendly and accommodating”

“Choosing the Darby House as our wedding venue was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and our guests could not stop raving about our venue. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff is extraordinarily helpful. Our day of coordinator, Katarina, seamlessly mapped out our special day down to the minute, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She was attentive and made sure my husband’s and my only job was to enjoy the day. I cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful venue”

“The Darby House is a beautiful venue with so many amenities that made for a wonderful wedding experience. Having the entire property to yourself gives your guests a private and spacious event space. We had our ceremony outdoors on the patio, dinner in the dining room, and cocktail hour and dancing in the racing room. This allowed us to enjoy the entire space, with a quiet space away from the dance floor for anyone who needed a break!”

“Our experience with Darby House was absolutely amazing! From day one, we were very comfortable with the staff and their kind, warm, professional personalities. Alex was our coordinator and I cannot say enough how amazing she was. By the end of our wedding day, she did not feel like just our event coordinator, but a friend. Every time we met with Alex we left feeling very calm and at ease. With the staff at Darby house, we knew our wedding was in good hands. ”
