The Playhouse on Rodney Square | Wedding Venue in Wilmington, Delaware
The Playhouse on Rodney Square is a wedding venue in the heart of Wilmington, Delaware that has been making people stop mid-sentence since 1913.

Formerly the DuPont Theatre and home to Broadway's brightest stars for over a century, The Playhouse is now available for the most important performance of your life. No pressure.
A Stage That Was Made For This
