Maybe you’ve envisioned your wedding since you were a little kid, or maybe you never even considered marriage until you met the right person. Whichever side you’re on, King Cole Farm has seen it all, and we’re here to help with our advice for wedding planning! 

For over 3 years, King Cole Farm in Dover, DE, has hosted weddings and events for everything from small, intimate gatherings to 400-person galas. We speak from experience and what we’ve seen work well. 

Celebrate & Find Your Shared Vision

Engagement is a beautiful season. Make sure to spend time enjoying it to the fullest! Questions from friends and family might start flying, like:

“How long until the wedding?”

“What will your wedding colors be?”

“Have you started planning yet”

And the dreaded, “Are we invited to the wedding?”

Here’s what we recommend:

Start broad, think big (or small). Do you want a big party or a small crowd? Do you want to travel or stay close to home? What does your budget look like? What time of year do you want to get married?
