Emilie Newsham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2022 Most beautiful venue ever! So many of our guests have told us our wedding was their favorite they've ever been to. We had the perfect wedding thanks to Dell-Lea and their amazing team. The included food/beverages were a huge help when planning a wedding out of state. They were also extremely helpful and flexible throughout the entire planning process. Highly recommend including Ashley's wedding planning services; we couldn't do it without her! One small detail that surprisingly made a big difference: the small dance floor made it a PARTY for those dancing. Dell-Lea was also super up-front about costs which made it easy to budget.

The venue itself is gorgeous. We loved everything about it from the moment we walked in. Toutou was great to work with and Abigail helped keep us on track during the big day while making it stress free. Food was amazing and we were especially blown away by how courteous and fun the bartenders were. We feel lucky that we had the opportunity to be married at Dell Lea. Reviewed on 27-11-2023

I can not praise Dell-Lea for everything that went into our wedding day! From our first wedding venue meeting, Toutou was very inviting and made us feel welcomed in our one-on-one. Between the beautiful backdrop view of the ceremony to the layout and set-up of the reception area, we left that meeting infatuated with the venue and the comfort of knowing where our wedding would be. The whole process went so smooth and Toutou guided us through every step of the way.Unfortunately, like many newlyweds this summer, we had rain on our wedding day. The staff (Toutou and Abigail) made the transition from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony so smooth. They took care of everything and alleviated the stress and pressure of this transition of coordinating and moving decorations.Everything turned out perfect! The timeline and coordination of the wedding events were on point, the food was immaculate, the service was unbelievable.All in all, I can't recommend Dell-Lea Weddings & Events highly enough. Abigail and Toutou made our wedding feel special and booking their venue was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Reviewed on 18-09-2023

My husband and I had the reception of our June 2023 wedding at Dell-Lea Weddings & Events, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! Not only is the venue gorgeous and very well maintained, but also the Dell-Lea team was extremely helpful through the entire planning process. Our wedding day was seamless with their guidance! They took the time to answer our questions, and gave excellent recommendations for vendors, all of whom they coordinated with flawlessly. We especially appreciated their attention to food allergies, and their commitment to making sure everyone was able to enjoy the meal safely.Dell-Lea was so welcoming to us and all of our guests, and we will have many happy memories of our wedding here!

I got married at Dell-Lea on 6/24/23. This place was THE best. Ashley, David and Toutou are incredible!! Even though it rained a bit on my wedding day, ashley (day-of coordinator) was patient and helped me delay my ceremony for 30 minutes in order to still have our outdoor ceremony. She kept checking in with me, kept all vendors on the timeline, and was a breath of fresh air on a very stressful day!

Dell-Lea was the absolute perfect spot for our wedding last weekend. Toutou was knowledgeable, professional, and so incredibly helpful in making our day run smoothly! They welcomed all unique requests we had for them, and truly made the planning process seamless, even planning from out of state. I would highly recommend Dell-Lea for anyoneâs wedding! They worked within our budget, and made our vision for the day come to life. The grounds are just stunning, and the perfect backdrop to capture incredible pictures. The staff were kind, helpful, and made sure all of our guests felt welcomed and cared for. One of them even brought a whole tray of sandwiches to the table my grandparents were sitting at when they realized they had not been able to get any yet. Renting decorations from Dell-Lea made set up and clean up so easy and it was so nice not having to worry about trying to sell extra decorations after the fact. Dell-Lea took care of setting up the chairs, tables, and everything that goes with that, which was a great weight off our minds. The food was absolutely delicious, and so easy since it was all in the same place! The drinks got great reviews from guests.All in all, we are so grateful that we found Dell-Lea, and we had the absolute best day ever! Reviewed on 01-07-2023

We worked primarily with Toutou, and through unforseen circumstances had Ashley and Asia take over about a week prior to the wedding, but every step of the way had fantastic and thorough communication. The food (the BBQ buffet) and drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and all of our guests were raving about how beautiful everything was (inside and outside).

Michael Magaletta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 Dell-Lea was the first venue in a handful of tours we did around New Hampshire and it turns out we should have just signed on the dotted line initially, because nothing else met my wifeâs and her familyâs criteria so well. There arenât many venues which can combine the rustic interior style with rolling and well maintained grounds, plus real kitchen and bathroom facilities. Some people have the energy to plan all the details of their big day⊠not us⊠which is where Dell-Lea continued to shine. We took advantage of the coordinator package and the ability to use decorations and items held by Dell-Lea which helped take away what would have been a lot of extra stress and end-of-night cleanup. Ashley was very easy to work with throughout and was very patient with our questions and requests. We had been told that Dell-Lea shines with their food and weâd whole heartedly agree, as did our guests. While we were extremely lucky to have beautiful, early September weather, we slept way better at night knowing that the venue could still put together a picture friendly indoor ceremony if needed. Though we didnât have the same level of facetime with them, weâre also extremely grateful for the rest of the staff of servers, bartender, and kitchen staff who did their jobs so well and got everyone fed and well lubricated for the dancefloor. With everything said and done, we couldnât have asked for a better venue and staff to shape our wedding day! Reviewed on 13-10-2022

Alex Lenzen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2021 My husband and I got married at Dell-Lea on Sept 4, 2021, and we couldnât recommend it more highly. We booked in June 2020 when restrictions for the pandemic were some of the highest weâve seen. David arranged a video tour for us, and then an in-person tour the next day when we wanted to confirm how excited we were about the venue. He was immediately warm and friendly (which helped us feel comfortable asking questions), he demonstrated his foodie-nature (which helped us feel confident in the catering), and he let the venue and big-sky views speak for themselves (which helped us to really envision our wedding there). Along the way, Ashley, David, and Toutou each helped us out with various questions we had about other vendors, potential COVID restrictions, and anything else that came up. They communicated promptly, clearly, and proactively, often answering our questions before we asked them. Our wedding was on a Saturday so Ashley was our lead coordinator. She was INCREDIBLE. In our details meeting ahead of the wedding, she helped us build a timeline that incorporated all of the details that were most important to us. Her experience with weddings helped to anticipate and avoid potential problems. She would offer advice and information without making us feel pressure to do anything a particular way. On the day of the wedding, Ashley was magical. She helped fasten boutonnieres, arrange decorations, and keep everything according to schedule. I never knew what time it was and never felt rushed because Ashley would just quietly ensure things were moving along as we had planned. Plus, she was flexible when we asked for last minute changes. Could not have asked for anything better. My mom used to be a wedding coordinator herself so she has very high expectations of others, and she raved about Ashley!Notes re: food:Not getting a traditional tasting was a little scary to us, but the food was fantastic. My favorite appetizers were the crab-stuffed mushroom caps and the veggie spring rolls.

What really blew us away though was from when we first sat down with Ashley to the day of our wedding her, David, and Toutou put all of their effort into making it so we could have our dream wedding and making us feel like we were the only wedding they were hosting. We were originally a 6/27/2020 wedding but because of COVID plans changed. Dell-Lea was very proactive in communicating with us and the other couples about what restrictions they needed to follow. Despite a global pandemic not being covered by the Act-of-God clause, Dell-Lea offered a full refund to couples that canceled and offered to honor 2020 prices for couples that rescheduled to 2021. It wasn't something they had to do, but rather something they chose to do and shows how committed they are to their couples. Speaking of prices, we visited other venues that charged far more than Dell-Lea but offered far less. This is one of the few places where you really feel like you are getting more than what you pay for. We ended up rescheduling for 6/27/2021 and could not have been happier about how things turned out!

They were so great about responding to all of our questions, and Ashley worked so hard to keep things running on time and smoothly the day of. Our guests are still raving about the AMAZING food and how nice the staff were. We also used their recommended vendors who were awesome, and worked so well coordinating everything together. After our wedding was done, we were actually sad that our time working with David, Toutou, and Ashley had come to an end, but we are very thankful that Dell Lea will always be a special place to remember. If you are looking for a wedding venue with stunning ceremony views, a beautiful reception space, great food, and wonderful people who work in the wedding industry then Dell Lea is the place to book!

We started planning the wedding before COVID 19 at another venue but everything was going downhill and was so complicated. We toured the Dell Lea and immediately knew that we were going to change venues. Toutou took care of EVERYTHING. All we had to do was pick out our cake and our napkin colors, as well as food we wanted for our guests. It was so relaxing the day of. I was stressing out about the day because I thought I wasn't going to be able to enjoy it. My husband and I were able to relax and we enjoyed our day so much. I could not have had a better day.

Lorena M(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2020 I don't even know where to begin! I'll start off by saying that we heard of this venue from a friend who had been to a few weddings at Dell-Lea. They raved about how great everything was so we had to check it out. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the one. The space and views are STUNNING - our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was! This was our photographer's first time shooting at Dell-Lea and he was in awe, \" It really lends itself amazingly to photography. Every direction you turn my camera, there is an amazing backround to work with\". Ashley was incredible throughout the entire process - responsive, helpful, polite. We had to postpone our original wedding date due to COVID and Ashley and the owners were beyond helpful and accommodating. In addition to all of these, the food was SO good! Everyone complimented on how delicious everything was. I could go on and on but in short, this is the perfect venue! I would 100% recommend Dell-Lea to anyone! Reviewed on 06-10-2020
Geena Sindoni(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2020 We just got married on 9/5/20 and we couldn't be happier with Dell-Lea! Being a bride during covid was incredibly stressful but Ashley (the coordinator), David and Toutou (the owners) kept us updated throughout everything and worked with us every step of the way with updates/changes needed to adhere to the state requirements. We had an original guest count of 200 and considering we have a large immediate family it felt almost impossible to be able to have a wedding at 50% capacity so we thought we would have to cancel/postpone our wedding. Fortunately, thanks to David and Toutou's determination to make our wedding day everything we had hoped for, they were able to get a large tent for us to rent so we could have up to 156 guests. We were beyond thrilled and thankful for this and although it made more work for the staff having to go back and forth between indoor/outdoor locations, they all did a wonderful job and made it look easy! On top of all that the venue is absolutely stunning inside and outside and all of the food was incredible! People have still been raving about the venue and I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone! Reviewed on 21-09-2020
Megan Rounds(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2020 After picking a potential wedding date (6/6/2020), our first decision when planning our wedding was to book Dell-Lea. Early on in the process, the coordinator, Ashley, was responsive and extremely helpful. And then COVID hit! The day after the 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.

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.

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.

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.

I can confidently say we never could have afforded our dream wedding with 175 guests if we hadn't found the Dell-Lea.

May Hill(wedding party)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2018 If I could give this place no stars I would, this is by far the worst venue I have ever been too. Don't get me wrong the property is beautiful and it was nicely decorated, the staff was awful. The waiters and bartenders were absolutely nasty, we 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....

All of our guests had a great time and admired such a beautiful property.

It was such a pleasure to work with you both.

Rebecca Ford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2016 A hidden gem up in the hills of Chichester. For everything this venue has to offer, the pricing is extremely affordable! The new owners, Toutou and Dave, are such a pleasure to work with. I was nervous at first because they took over the venue 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! Reviewed on 23-11-2016
Winnie Robichaud(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-12-2017 My daughter fell in love with Dell Lea two and a half years ago when she clicked on a sidebar on The Knot. We booked the venue immediately. I was a bit concerned when we discovered that ownership had changed hands, but my worries were quickly 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.

Kayleigh Flynn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-07-2016 Katrina and Brandon are a great team, and so nice! Katrina made me feel totally at ease with her calm personality throughout the whole process. Brandon went above and beyond the day of the wedding, while it was raining, to check on the outside 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! Reviewed on 12-08-2016

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!

I grew up in Lee, NH subsequently moved down to Boston to work and obtained a Masters Degree. After a fulfilling career in the Financial Industry within Sales, Marketing & Project Management, my husband and I decided to go on an adventure of a lifetime with our two kids in the Caribbean. In 2016 we purchased Dell-Lea to achieve our dream of owning our own business. Our fresh new ideas, commitment to customer service, penchant for great food and down-to-earth approach have quickly catapulted Dell-Lea to the short list of sought-after wedding venues in NH.
