From the reviews

Wrightsville Manor is hands down the BEST wedding venue! My husband and I got married on 9-1-24 and it was the most perfect day of our lives! We actually loved it so much just from attending a wedding there and looking on the internet, that we signed before even touring!

★★★★★ — Killian, Sep 2024

If you're looking to get married in the Wilmington area, and want a space with indoor/outdoor options that is also uber/taxi friendly, Wrightsville Manor is THE spot. It was a perfect location for our day.

★★★★★ — Kaitlynne, Apr 2023

We got married at Wrightsville Manor in February 2023 and when I say it was like a fairytale, that does not even begin to do the day justice. When our day started, it was gloomy outside and looked as though it would rain so, as much as as I wanted an outdoor wedding, we set up the inside just as case.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2023

Erin was attentive, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. The venue was gorgeous. I would 10/10 recommend this venue. Bar tenders were amazing and super fun!

Getting married at Wrightsville Manor

Wrightsville Manor comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
