Wedding Venue for Newark, DE Couples

Newark couples looking for a wedding venue that keeps everything under one roof should consider Worsell Manor. Located about 30 minutes south in Warwick, Maryland, we give you a climate-controlled barn that seats up to 200 guests, a colonial-era Manor House with room to get ready and stay overnight, and 50 acres of gardens and glens for outdoor ceremonies. Our coordinators help you plan the flow while you keep control of your vendor choices and design.

What do Newark couples value about Worsell Manor?

Spacious reception barn with full capacity
Our barn gives you room for larger weddings without feeling like a convention hall. You can host both the ceremony and reception in the climate-controlled space, or use the outdoor gardens when weather permits. The barn accommodates up to 200 guests comfortably.

Ceremony plan that works in any season
Outside, you’ll find the Fountain Garden and Wooded Glen, both work for ceremonies or portraits. If rain moves your plans inside, the barn transitions easily from ceremony to reception space.

Classic Manor House with overnight option
The Manor House serves as your home base on the wedding day. You’ll have private rooms for getting ready, plus the option to stay overnight. We’ve preserved the colonial-era woodwork and fireplaces while updating the bathrooms for modern comfort.

Multiple outdoor settings for the ceremony and photos
The Fountain Garden and Wooded Glen offer options for outdoor ceremonies or portraits, supported by flexible layouts and weather planning.

Vendor policy with helpful coordinators
For vendors, we maintain a preferred list. Our bar packages go through our in-house provider, and you select your caterer from our preferred list. Coordinators Shaina and Ashlee handle logistics so you can focus on the details that matter to you.

Your Perfect Day Unfolds

Most couples start their day in the Manor House, where wedding parties use the upstairs bedrooms and sun porch to get ready. From there, you can exchange vows in the Fountain Garden or Wooded Glen, with the barn standing by as your indoor backup. After the ceremony, guests move into the barn for cocktails, dinner, and dancing. Everything happens in one location, which simplifies logistics for you and your vendors.
