Oh ME! ME! I am tryinggggg to plan my wedding right below Wilmington around Fort Fisher/Carolina Beach. Where are you and when!? :)
I'm in Raleigh NC but we are gonna get hitched at the Cape Fear river deck downtown on the riverwalk! I thought I was all alone!!!! After the ceremony I want everyone to go back and chill out at Wrightsville Beach.
I'm getting married on Topsail Island! I need help finding a hairdresser, etc in the Wilmington area! So glad to know I'm not alone also! :)
We are getting married in Bald Head Island but a few of our vendors are from Wilmington.
@miss.skinner SO. JEALOUS. grrrrrrrrrrrr. hahaha, jk! that was my dream wedding but alas we cannot afford it.
I'm from Wilmington and live in Chapel Hill now, which is where our wedding will be! But I LOVE Wilmington weddings, such beautiful locations!
@ktbrady--yeah we are in the DC area so having a destination wedding to Bald Head was actually significantly cheaper than getting married anywhere NEAR the dc area. Stupid high costs of living. Your wedding will be gorgeous. I love North carolina and the fall colors will be perfect at the time of your wedding.
I live outside of raleigh and we're getting married at wrightsville beach in september!! woohoo!!! how is your wedding planning coming along?
I am in the Leland area which is right across the river from Wilmy and have been looking at possible cheap or lowcost places to have a small wedding ceremony outside, then having reception/party at our home after.
Have thought about: Greenfield lake, Old Brunswick Town in the historic church remains, a couple other parks in the area but still thiking about it.
Orton Plantation is closed indefinitely as of June 1st! :(
Me!! Well, 30 minutes South of Wilmington. We currently live in Raleigh but our wedding will be at the Southport Community Building which looks over the Cape Fear River in Southport (right next to Oak Island).
Ooooo Chrissy, I'm jealous!! We're getting married in Southport, too but I didn't want to wait a long time (we've been dating for 7 years) so we're getting married in St James Plantation. I LOVE the Community Building. I'm sure your wedding will be amazing!! Great time of year, too. :)
I'm currently in the process of finding make-up and hair people for our wedding. Have you found yours yet? Obviously, you have some time. :)
I'm Getting Married on OCEAN ISLE BEACH!! :) :) :) 05/22/2011
I live in Memphis TN now but I was born and Raised in NC and had to get married on the Beach there!!!
We have decided on Brunswick Town which is right near Orton Plantation, but is histroical and on the river, and a plus for us, cheap. We are having the cereomony in the St Philip's church ruins there, an old brick church that is open and possibly our cake and champane reception down on a deck on the river. It is beautiful there and we can't wait~
Hey Wilmington ladies I too am getting married here and am in need of some major ceremony site help. I'm on a super tight budget and am desperate to find a ceremony site on the intracoastal waterway or on a channel or creek. I want to avoid the beach if possible due to the wind, and the river isn't really what I've got in mind. I'm not opposed to renting out a house with a backyard on the waterway...but it seems you have to know someone willing to rent out their space for a few hours...and I don't :( If anyone knows of anything close to WB that they could suggest I would be eternally grateful! Thanks and good luck to all with the planning…this stuff isn’t easy!
You should check out Brunswick town historical site and the st philips church ruins there, it is so beautiful but it is on the river. It is kind of isolated so it is not similar to being on the river downtown wilmington, more looks like being on the intercoastal so might be worth checking into and taking a visit out there. YOu can do your ceremony in the church or on a boardwalk down on the water and they have a large covered area for a reception if you want too. They are very reasonably priced and you don't have specific time constraints, they have been very helpful and accomodating. Seems to be much easier to work with thtem than other places we have looked into too. We have looked at halyburton park event center in wilmington also but is not on any water there as well as silver coast winery near calabash but also not on the water.
I live in Wilm and we're getting married in Wrightsville beach.
We went driving around one afternoon to look for piers to get married on, and found one we liked that the owner agreed to rent to us for that weekend.
We are have our guests park at BlueWater and take the trolly from the BW to our ceremony site, then having the trolley bring everyone back to the BW for our recpetion until 4 pm. After that, we're just moving the party back to the rental houses. BW is surprisingly VERY affordable for an afternoon reception, and food, drinks, etc are included with the minimum charge. So easy, I love it!
Our ceremony site is pictured below:

Hey ladies, I have 31 vases I'm trying to sell, along with some shepherd's hooks, and 10 paper lanterns, a birdcage to hold cards, and some hanging votives. I'm trying to sell locally since packaging vases is a pain in the ass to ship, so if you want to see anything, let me know! Here's a pick of some items (the robe isn't available anymore). PM me if you are interested in any items!

Hello, I read your post on the bee. Have you obtained all of your wedding vendors? Thanks
I have not found all my vendors as of yet. If you have any suggestions let me know...
