Bethany Beach Wedding Venue with On Site Lodging

Bethany Beach Center is a Delaware wedding venue just two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and steps from downtown Bethany. The campus combines a wedding chapel, gathering and dining spaces, extensive overnight accommodations, and outdoor recreation in one walkable location.

Spaces for the Ceremony, Dinner and Everything Between

Bethany Beach Center offers several spaces across the campus, allowing couples to spread different parts of the wedding weekend across the property.

  • The Chapel: Seats up to 80 guests and provides a dedicated indoor setting for wedding ceremonies.

  • Campbell Main Hall: Seats up to 80 guests and can be used for receptions, welcome gatherings, group activities, and other wedding events.

  • Tabernacle Dining Room: Accommodates up to 80 guests for seated meals, with dining services available through the Center.

  • Small Group Rooms: Additional rooms throughout the campus provide space for smaller gatherings, wedding party activities, or time with family and friends.

  • Screened Porches: Covered gathering areas offer another place for guests to relax and spend time together throughout the weekend.

  • Campus Grounds: Lawns and recreational areas add outdoor space to the property, although they are not specifically advertised as dedicated wedding ceremony sites.

A Wedding Weekend That Actually Feels Like a Weekend

Guests can walk to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and shops rather than spending the weekend traveling between a hotel and the festivities. Couples reserving the entire campus can also bring multiple parts of the celebration together in one place, from the ceremony and meals to overnight stays and casual time with family and friends.

Contact Bethany Beach Center to explore the Chapel, lodging options, gathering spaces, dining services, and possibilities for creating a wedding weekend just steps from the Delaware coast.
