Why Couples Fall in Love with This Venue
A Sacred Slice of History
Tucked into a lush corner of Wilmington, this Gothic‑Revival carriage house (dating back to the 1850s) has been lovingly restored with its exposed stone walls, barn doors, and authentic charm. It doesn’t feel like a hall. It feels like a secret place you step into and immediately exhale.
Space That Flexes with Your Vibe
Whether you’re planning an intimate reception or inviting all your favorite people, The Carriage House at Rockwood Park hosts up to 225 seated guests—indoor and out. From the Walled Garden to the airy Gallery, there’s room to dance, to breathe, and for that one aunt to show off her moves.
