The city of Newark, a charming college community, is a great place for a wedding, as it features a lively downtown area, beautiful parks, and plenty of resources to help make the wedding planning process go smoothly.

Make sure you check out Deerfield, one of Delaware's premier wedding venues. It is situated on picturesque grounds overlooking White Clay Creek State Park and features elegant ballrooms with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so you will have plenty of natural light for wedding photographs.

Bing's Bakery, which offers free cake tastings and consultations, is known for its specialty wedding cakes and cupcake towers. It can also provide you with Belgian chocolate gift boxes and homemade cookie wedding favors.

Finally, Bridal & Tuxedo Shoppe will have you and your entire wedding party looking picture-perfect on your big day with its large selection of wedding gowns, bridal jewelry and accessories, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos.

Newark is home to numerous parks and trails, which provide plenty of opportunities for hiking, picnicking, and swimming. Popular outdoor recreation areas include James F. Hall Trail, Phillips Park, and Olan Thomas Park.

You can also enjoy the restaurants and cafes in downtown Newark or attend one of community's annual events, such as Winterfest, Taste of Newark, Restaurant Week, and the Food and Brew Festival.
