- 1 Outdoor
- 1 space at this venue
Auburn Heights Preserve sits on a 3.5-acre estate within Auburn Valley State Park in Yorklyn, Delaware, centered on the 1897 Marshall Mansion — a Queen Anne-style Victorian home built by Israel W. and Elizabeth Marshall and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The grounds also include the Marshall Steam Museum, home to one of the world's largest collections of operating steam-powered automobiles, and the Auburn Valley Railroad, a 1/8-scale coal-fired miniature train that circles the property. The outdoor grounds accommodate up to 120 guests and are suited for small weddings, group meetings, and private charter events. The rose arbor and wraparound porch provide ceremony settings, while the sunporch and patio serve more intimate gatherings. Indoor space within the museum building is available on a limited basis. Private events can be arranged to include mansion tours, rides in antique Stanley Steamer automobiles, and a turn around the miniature railroad — activities that set Auburn Heights apart from a conventional event venue. Wedding arrangements are coordinated through Delaware State Parks, and rental packages covering car or train rides are available through the Friends of Auburn Heights.

The mansion accommodates up to 130 guests for seated receptions and up to 180 for cocktail-style events. Six private dining rooms are also available for smaller, more intimate gatherings.

The Figure 8 Barn sits on the grounds of Bellevue State Park, a 271-acre former DuPont family estate tucked into suburban Wilmington, Delaware. The barn takes its name from its distinctive hourglass shape — an architectural curiosity designed by William du Pont, Jr. as an indoor horse training facility for the family's equestrian interests. Delaware acquired the estate in 1976, and the barn has since become one of the region's most flexible large-event venues. The barn's 32,000 square feet of open space can accommodate more than 3,000 guests and can be divided for more intimate gatherings. A raised dance floor and stage anchor the main floor, while large bay doors provide easy access for oversized equipment, themed installations, and trade show displays. A long hallway running through the structure offers a blank canvas for creative décor. The Figure 8 Barn hosts weddings, festivals, trade shows, conferences, reunions, and celebrations of all types.
