    Wonderful experience

    Went to visit the venue during their open house and the venue is so beautiful! Between the barn and the historic house it’s all so breathtaking. Also the people who work for the venue/JAM catering are amazing; they are so helpful, friendly and patient ( I had a lot of questions lol). I can’t wait to have my wedding at this venue! I would definitely recommend this venue and JAM catering!

    Perfect venue!

    The barn at Cauffiel is the perfect venue. I am planning my dream wedding at this venue. Between the amazing barn to the perfect 7 bedroom house on the property you get the best of both worlds!

    Just what we were looking for!

    We are so excited for our November wedding at Cauffiel House! This historic estate offers stunning views of the Delaware River and beautifully landscaped gardens. The romantic gazebo is perfect for our private vows before the ceremony, and the Cauffiel Barn provides the rustic-elegant vibe we wanted for our reception. Veronica gave us a wonderful tour of both Cauffiel House and Bellevue Hall, making us feel welcomed and taken care of. The mix of historic charm and natural beauty makes it an ideal spot for our big day. We're looking forward to celebrating in such an enchanting setting and highly recommend Cauffiel House for anyone seeking a unique and picturesque wedding venue.

    Beautiful Fall Wedding

    We were the first couple to sign for the Barn at Cauffiel. We had visited several other properties and venues prior, both owned by JAM and not, but as soon as we got out of the car at the Cauffiel Estate it felt like we had found our place. We explored the property and immediately fell in love with the property when Tom Covello, the venue manager, took us into the barn and told us its story (we won't ruin it and let him tell you on your visit!).

    Back in late 2019, exploring the property and imagining our day there took some vision as the property had not yet been renovated. But the way Tom spoke about the vision for the property we knew it would be beautiful. We got to watch over our long engagement as the venue was transformed. The finished product is more than we could have hoped for--keeping the charming character of the original property while making it also feel updated and welcoming.

    Our wedding day went beautifully and all of our guests enjoyed the experience! For us, the best part was that the property is a complete package. Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and rooms for the bridal party all in one place! Tie that in with JAM's proven catering prowess and its a recipe for success!

    Perfect Venue Helped Make a Perfect Day!

    When we first visited Cauffiel, it was new to JAM and had not undergone renovation yet. We took a leap of faith given the conceptual photos we were shown. We're so glad we did. The barn looks awesome! It was exactly the aesthetic and experience we wanted.

    The entire estate is beautiful and having the house available for cocktail hour and for overnight stay was an added benefit.

    Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and we wouldn't have chosen any other venue if we had it to do over again.

    Tom Covello and the staff were incredibly easy to work with. They were accommodating to our requests and helped us plan a perfect day. We can't thank Tom and everyone enough for their help and enthusiasm toward making our event happen!

    A Fantastic Planning Experience

    Working with Jeffery A Miller (JAM) catering and Tom (the Cauffiel site manager) has been an absolute pleasure thus far in our wedding planning journey. We fell in love with Cauffiel Estate after our tour and started the contract process shortly after. Everything about planning our big day has been completely customizable, especially their farm-to table menu! Our day is shaping up to be exactly what we dreamed of. Tom has been amazingly patient through the whole process, and also so knowledgable about making our vision come true, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. We're incredibly excited for our upcoming wedding and are so thankful we found JAM for our special day.

    Perfection- 5-Star Wedding Weekend

    We had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE throughout our entire wedding weekend at The Barn at Cauffiel Estate. We had both our rehearsal lunch and wedding (ceremony and reception) on the Cauffiel Estate property and everything was PERFECTION. From the start of the rehearsal on Saturday through the end of the our reception on Sunday night, everything flowed incredibly smoothly and according to plan. Being the type-A bride throughout the wedding planning process, Tom Covello (Cauffiel Estate site manager) and the entire JAM & Buttercup team exceeded my expectations.

    The venue, decor and flowers (decor and flowers provided by Buttercup) were STUNNING! It was everything I had envisioned for our rustic & romantic wedding. The food was DELICIOUS. So many of our friends and family continue to tell us how much they enjoyed the food on our wedding day.

    The entire day felt like I was on a cloud, the experience was just flat out AMAZING. I could go on and on about how much I loved the weekend and continue to relive it. I was blown away by how they made our vision come to life.

    Thanks so much to Tom, the JAM team and the Buttercup team for making it all possible for us.

    Wedding day

    We just had our wedding there and it is a great venue. Newly renovated but still has that rustic feel. Grateful we found Caufiel Barn Estate, as we were originally at MOYO which was a terrible experience.

    Can't wait to have our rehearsal dinner here!

    My fiance Keith and I will be having our rehearsal dinner at Cauffiel Estate in a couple of nights, and we are so excited! Tom, the venue manager, has been an absolute lifesaver and helped us plan a great rehearsal dinner in very short notice, after we learned our initial plans elsewhere would no longer be able to happen due to covid restrictions. The staff has been extremely accommodating, supportive, flexible, and organized! The venue itself is beautiful! There's tons of outdoor space, including a back patio with views of the Delaware river where we plan to have drinks before and after dinner. Dinner will be held inside the Cauffiel house, which offers multiple dining areas with a ton of character. Apparently you can also rent out the house and its bedrooms for your bridal party/guests to stay overnight, which seems like it would be so cool and unique!

    Amazing team! Beautiful venue! True heros!

    We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here, and I couldn't recommend it more. The food was fantastic and very well priced! Everyone loved it! The venue was BEAUTIFUL. Perfectly appointed. Clean. And we had an AMAZING view of the Delaware River in the background. It was probably only 1/8th of a mile away. The grounds are also gorgeous. Although we just had our rehearsal dinner here (with 38 people) this venue would accommodate, and be perfect, for a wedding as well. It is totally quaint. Five-star reviews on everything for this location. And the best part is that Tom will be your right-hand man throughout the planning process, and he is a JOY to work with. He made the planning fun...and that seemed almost impossible given our COVID situation.

    Lastly, I should mention that the Cauffiel house has 7 incredible bedrooms. We rented out the house for 2 nights. The bridesmaids stayed here and they LOVED it. It was ridiculously reasonable in terms of cost (more cost-effective than hotel rooms for sure) and absolutely elegant. Hardwood floors. Big, beautiful wood trim. Plush beds. Perfectly decorated. Pretty furniture. Newly renovated and clean. Air Conditioning. It could not have been more perfect. You will not go wrong by choosing to have your bridal party or guests stay here.

    So excited for our November wedding!

    Cauffiel House is a breathtaking venue! The historic estate with its vintage furnishings provides the perfect setting for our wedding. The views of the Delaware River and the charming gazebo make it an ideal spot for our outdoor ceremony. The beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens add to the venue’s charm. We toured many venues in NY, PA, and DE, but Cauffiel House immediately stood out. The Cauffiel Barn adds a rustic-elegant touch that we love. Highly recommend this venue!
