Description:

Not your typical rustic barn, the Blue Ball Barn is a gorgeous, contemporary two-story concrete and steel barn nestled in the scenic Alapocas Run State Park in northern Delaware. The Park’s convenient access to major roads and highways makes it a favorite destination for those who just want to get out of the city to enjoy some hiking and tranquility, and it’s the idyllic setting for your dream wedding. The historic Blue Ball Barn is a multi-functional space that connects Delaware’s past and present with a unique mixture of significant Delaware Folk Art artifacts and today’s modern amenities. The secluded, picturesque courtyard and banquet room set in the original hayloft, are perfect for your indoor or outdoor celebration where your guests can enjoy the history and exhibits during cocktail hour. Using the expertise of approved vendors and your vision, showcase your wedding at this stylish and sleek barn that can host up to 250 guests who will always remember being a part of your memories at the Blue Ball Barn.

 

Our administrative team will be happy to help you with any questions or planning needs, including holding an event planning meeting with you, your caterer, and any other vendors to work through timing and a floor plan. A facility monitor will be available during your event to ensure the safety and comfort of you and your guests. If you are seeking a wedding venue, a one-hour rehearsal is included in the event rental.

A list of preferred event vendors for outdoor Courtyard tents and furniture will be provided, and due to the historic nature of the building a reputable full-service caterer must be selected. While food trucks are allowed, self-catering is not. Alcohol is allowed but must be served by a licensed bartender. As in all Delaware State Parks, balloons and confetti are not allowed.
