108 Budleigh

ut we did need to use it for the ceremony as well and I was not disappointed in the least! Beautiful and intimate. Barely needs decorations. Everything you need is provided and you can bring outside alcohol!! (A big money saver.) I got to visit the venue multiple times during the month leading up to the wedding to finalize the floor plan and seating chart. Highly reccomend for small and mid size weddings.

ved as our weather-backup location for our rehearsal, but luckily the weather cleared up and we were still able to have our ceremony outdoors!

azing. We had right around 100 adults with 10 or so kids and everyone had plenty of room. We worked with Bonnie until Allison came on board and both were helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout everything.

r any wedding or reception!

n't deviate from them and then if you did, there was a fee. I got to make my wedding my own and it was absolutely gorgeous. Bonnie is amazing to work with and she's such a sweetheart! Plus they have so many other vendors that are willing to help with decorating to truly make it about the newlyweds.

tion I had. She was readily available via phone and email and always responded quickly. As for the venue itself: I was THRILLED. This was a destination wedding for us so I could only bring what would fit in our SUV which cut down on how much we could decorate, but you literally don't need much for it to look great. The veranda is incredible...We rented a couple of high top tables and it looked perfect. Inside, we used a lot of candles which complimented the vintage look and made it feel very romantic. Random things: The fridge is huge so you can fit all your alcohol and mixers and the bathrooms are really nice. Our guests raved about how unique and beautiful Budleigh was, there was a lot of jealousy from my already married friends! Luckily, the weather worked out for us and we could have the ceremony outside but it was a relief knowing Budleigh was a beautiful backup. I was 100% happy with 108 Budleigh and can't think of one negative thing to say!

a smaller wedding. We had approximately 90 people to celebrate our day. Bonnie who is the woman who books Budleigh is a pleasure to work with and very prompt with her emails and responses.

and beautiful and can be decorated to fit any theme/feel. Our wedding could not have been more perfect thanks to the wonderful ladies at 108 Budleigh! :)

r own vendors and had no restrictions on time for our reception. The amenities were perfect and Bonnie was so helpful and knowledgeable, answer any and all wedding-related questions I had, many of which extended far beyond her scope as the coordinator for the reception location. The antique features in the space made it unique and personalized as well. Such a great venue and a wonderful group to work with!

mate feel. I would do my reception there again and again! 108 Budleigh does not offer any other services, but that just means you can create whatever you want. I loved this place!

les and chairs. I love 108 Budleigh!

ing me she would guarantee that I loved it as much in person. I did! It is such a beautiful and romantic venue. All of our guests told us how much they loved the Budleigh. We loved that we were able to chose our own vendors. It allowed us to taylor the entire evening to our own style. It did make the reception more pricy due to having to rent everything. I wouldn't have changed a thing though. The only negative was the tables. We rented tables, because the tables they own are like picnic style tables. They seat 6 but really only 4 comfortably. The chairs on the other hand are beautiful. They are gold and very much match the look of the budleigh. Bonnie was wonderful through the entire year and a half. She would respond to my emails within hours of sending and was very much on top of any questions I had.

g. Thanks to 108 Budleigh's flexibility of allowing us to have the event space for the entire day we were able to relocate the wedding to indoors and it was still beautiful. My husband and I were married on their beautiful staircase. We had cocktail hour upstairs utilizing the bar and balcony area. Then we returned downstairs for the remainder of the reception. 108 Budleigh is a magical place that takes very little to make it look amazing. Bonnie was also easy to work with and she was very laid back! We would not have wanted to get married anywhere else!

immediately loved the charm on the venue! From the outdoor veranda to the beautiful staircase to the gorgeous details throughout the venue, we knew that we wanted to have our wedding reception there. Located on the Manteo Waterfront, it is in the perfect location. Our wedding reception decor was easy to plan as the venue allows for various colors and set-up. We loved the southern charm of this beautiful building.

the venue on a few different occasions throughout the planning process. Having all of our events in downtown Manteo was the best decision we made!

our photos absolutely gorgeous! Working with Bonnie to book, coordinate and ask questions about the site was easy and she was quickly responsive to questions. Some of the perks include the flexibility of set up, freedom of vendor choice and the fact that your rental includes the whole day (i.e. we were able to get in early for photos, getting ready, etc). For an additional small fee, Bonnie allowed us to rent the venue the night prior to set up, which made the actual wedding day much more stress free! I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone interested in having a wedding on the Outer Banks!

the 1,000th time, I stumbled upon a review of 108 Budleigh. I looked at the website, emailed a few questions to Bonnie (who is amazing to work with) and we booked it, without even seeing it first in person. We later drove to Manteo (we live in South Carolina) to finish up with all of our vendors and Bonnie was out of town. She was so kind to give us the code to view Budleigh for the first time. It was BREATHTAKING!!! We knew we had to be creative, it's a great space for just a ceremony or just a reception. But we wanted to have everything in one location. We didn't think it could work at first, but the day of the wedding everything was perfect! We had around 90 people at our ceremony and reception. The ceremony was in the same room and the reception. We ended up inviting our guests to watch us release doves by the pier to allow time to reset the room with the dinner tables/dance floor. This venue was everything we invisioned. It was big enough for everyone to dance and mingle, but still small enough to be intimate. We wanted to share our special day with close family and friends, and the upstairs area that we used for cocktail hour was plenty big enough for us to meet and greet our guests. There is even a small room with a tv and sitting area, which the men enjoyed watching the Michigan basketball game after the reception. 108 Budleigh was perfect in every way. I recommend this to any bride who wants and intimate wedding and/or reception in a beautiful historic building in a great location!

Thanks, 108 Budleigh, for a perfect day.

e a larger wedding, but it has many different ways to accommodate a smaller wedding. We were a smaller wedding, and not once did we feel like we were overwhelmed with space. There is an outdoor patio and lawn area which was great for guests to move around and get some fresh air! This venue is so gorgeous that you really don't need to over decorate. The guests were completely wowed! Worth the price!!

p out. We were always welcome to check out the place whenever we were in town. We rented it on a Thursday so the price was a little lower than it would be for a weekend. I would recommend 108 Budleigh to anyone considering having any event in Manteo. If we ever have to rent a place in Manteo again it will definitely be 108 Budleigh!

owns it is easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and very helpful.

day however it is great for pictures and a different type of venue without the typical ballroom!!

the staircase. Everything was gorgeous. Had plenty of room for 135+. I recommend this for a wedding reception anyday!

everything up the day before the wedding. Bonnie is great to work worth and the price was just right. I definitely recommend this for a reception venue!

e. We used Allison for our rentals which was great; she was extremely patient and encouraging which was good since I had no idea what I was doing. I highly recommend Budleigh as a venue. It is a beautiful location and it was amazing to have it for the whole day! The girls and I ended up getting dressed there. I cannot tell you how great it is to have a quiet place to get ready before your wedding. 108 Budleigh is beautiful, they have chiavari chairs included!, and they are very accommodating. You will not regret holding your wedding/reception here!

email and cell phone for consultations (destination wedding), Bonnie and Allison rocked it by October. We couldn't have been happier with the venue, the location, or the atmosphere!

for ourselves, we fell in love with the place! The beautiful balcony, outside patio, authentic hardwoods and overall decor was just what we were looking for. It created the most simple but classic backdrop for our special day without the need for a huge floral expense. The place is beautiful as is. The back staircase was an added bonus as it allowed us the perfect grand entrance as husband and wife. But even more impressive was the customer service. Our wedding was the weekend following Hurricane Irene and Manteo was hit hard by the storm. The week before your wedding is stressful enough so adding a hurricane is not ideal! The whole 108 Budleigh crew stepped in and had the place cleaned up and repaired within about three days! Not being local, I relied a lot on Bonnie and Allison who made me feel totally at ease and provided updates. We had no reason to worry. You could never tell that a hurricane had just blown through and the place was absolute perfection!

renting this venue, I was delighted to find out that tables and chairs were included. It had two built-in bar areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. There was a wonderful small side patio covered by a wooden pergola. There was a back entrance we were able to enter through secretly in order to surprise our guests when we were introduced by our DJ. My only complaint was that they were unable to provide us with example table lay outs or with accurate room dimensions to help us create our own. Living relatively far away from the venue it was very stressful trying to create a table layout that we were not sure would work. Other than this, I had a wonderful experience using 108 Budleigh!

ry about time constraints.

ricey- but after checking around we realized how affordable and beautiful the venue was! We had the home all day so we were able to set up that morning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bonnie helped us out with everything we needed! Renting the house comes with tables and chairs and the color scheme is mute enough that you can decorate however you like! The set up was wonderful and held our 100 guests perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue to others if you're willing to spend a little extra $$. The only small complaint we had was with the rental company provided through the venue, Shindigs rentals. They weren't very prompt with getting back to us which ended up being very stressful. Overall, everything was absolutely beautiful though. Definitely consider this for your wedding/reception or both.

.which was five months later than my original plans, but well worth the wait! The owner was wonderful to work with and all of the vendors love doing events there. My guests are still talking about how beautiful and perfect it was! My overall rating is FIVE STARS, but I did only give it FOUR STARS for the VALUE because I had to rent tables...even though tables were inclusive to the price of the venue, but they offered 4ft tables and to make best use of the space and cut costs on linens/centerpieces...I wanted 5ft tables. If you can't tell...I am a VERY HAPPY Bride!!!
