Meetings, Conventions, Reunions, Weddings & Other Special Events

We're the place!

From weddings and reunions to board, association and corporate meetings, holding your special event here is less taxing in more ways than one!

Our facilities can host a variety of mid-size meeting, from small get-togethers to full-blown conventions. With more than 300 meeting rooms - from small boardrooms to grand ballrooms accommodating 3,000 - we can meet your needs.

Wilmington's choice location makes it the natural place to "meet in the middle." Delaware's low lodging tax and No Sales Tax on shopping, dining, other food functions and entertainment s-t-r-e-t-c-h your dollars.

Let us save you time and money. Use the Request for Proposal Form or call at (800) 489-6664 or (302) 295-2213 to speak with a Meetings Specialist. We'll do all the legwork.

Our location mid-way between Washington, DC and New York City makes it easy for your attendees - and guest speakers - to get here. We're on I-95 with easy access via I-495, I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike. Approximately 70 trains stop here daily: all Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains - including the high-speed Acela Express - plus SEPTA's R-2 regional commuter trains.

Downtown Wilmington is only 20 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Private planes use the New Castle County Airport (ILG), only 10 minutes away.

We're 30 minutes from Center City Philadelphia. 90 minutes from Baltimore's Inner Harbor as well as Atlantic City, NJ. 60 minutes from Lancaster County's "Amish Country."
