When you’re planning a corporate event in Delaware, the venue you choose shapes everything: how your guests feel when they arrive, how smoothly your program runs, and what your colleagues remember long after. We created The Waterfall to be that venue. From our first conversation with you to the moment your last guest leaves, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the outcomes that matter to your organization.
The Waterfall is ideal for Delaware corporate events, offering two adaptable ballrooms, private suites, and outdoor spaces. Their all-inclusive service manages catering, bar, setup, and coordination, while accommodating dietary needs and multiple room configurations. Experienced event coordinators ensure seamless execution for conferences, galas, and professional gatherings from start to finish.
A Delaware Venue Built for Corporate Events That Deliver
When you’re planning a corporate event in Delaware, the venue shapes how your program runs and what attendees remember. We built The Waterfall to handle the logistics while you focus on results. Our two ballrooms accommodate groups 800 guests.
Both include private suites, outdoor access, and architectural details that create the right atmosphere from the moment someone walks through the door.
Distinct Ballrooms That Adapt to Your Event
The Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 500 guests. You’ll see 14-foot ceilings, Roman Corinthian marble columns, and a 1,100-square-foot marble dance floor. We installed intelligent lighting throughout the space, and we can customize the color and intensity to match your brand palette or shift the mood from welcome reception to awards presentation. The Grand Ballroom Patio, with our signature waterfall, is included with your booking. It’s a natural spot for pre-event cocktails or a quiet breakout conversation.
The Cascade Ballroom holds up to 325 guests. Natural light filters through the space during daytime events, and the Tiffany accents add warmth. Custom arched French doors open to reveal an oval dance floor made from hand-carved marble and draped ceiling accents. The adjacent manicured outdoor gardens work well for a coffee station during a morning session or a networking break between program segments.
Conference Setups That Match Your Agenda
We arrange rooms in boardroom, theatre, or classroom styles depending on what you’re running. A training seminar benefits from a classroom setup. A keynote or panel works in a theatre. Boardroom fits a focused strategy session. Our team moves quickly between setups, so if your event includes multiple formats across a single day, we adjust accordingly.
All-Inclusive Service and What It Means on Event Day
We call ourselves all-inclusive because we manage the food, beverage, setup, and coordination from the moment you book to the final walkthrough. Our experienced event coordinators guide you through decisions on timing, flow, and menu. On event day, they’re on site to handle transitions, cue speakers, and resolve any issues before it reaches you.
You’ll see this approach reflected in our cocktail hour. We staff culinary stations and pass more than 30 different hors d’oeuvres. We include top-shelf open bar options. For the plated portion, we serve a four-course gourmet dinner. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available, and we source locally whenever possible. Our staffed dessert displays close out the meal, and we can add a champagne tower if your event calls for it.
The Architectural Details Your Guests Will Notice
Guests arrive through a rotunda with a handmade blown glass chandelier. The cocktail room features 18-foot ceilings, an endless skylight, and a glowing onyx stone wall behind the bar. Inside the ballrooms, you’ll find crystal chandeliers and marble dance floors. The atrium’s glass ceiling brings in natural light. These aren’t decorative choices we added for effect. They’re the bones of the building, and they create a sense of occasion the moment someone walks in.
Corporate Events We Support Beyond Conferences
We host corporate galas, professional conferences, and elegant luncheons. If you’re planning a sales meeting, a training seminar, or a career fair, we adapt our spaces and service to fit. The flexibility in room arrangement and the all-inclusive approach work across event types.
