Bakery 105

Katie and Jordan were profoundly amazing to work with every single step of the way. You could not ask for two people more dedicated to perfecting your wedding day. No matter how many tedious questions I asked, I never once felt anything but comfort and support. I had the added stress of planning our wedding from out of town and was not able to have some of the most important conversations in person, yet it felt as easy as if the venue was in my backyard. So if you live out of town, don't let that scare you. Plus, these ladies are gurus. Seriously. I did not think a wedding like the one I had would be possible within my budget, and of course I stretched here and there, but they also helped me find ways to save in other areas. They can work with whatever your goals are, and they continued to impress me with their innovation, creative suggestions, and total sincerity and generosity. Additionally, they are completely candid about every little cost from day one - so you need not worry about "surprise" mandatory expenses. This venue is breath-takingly beautiful, but even the most beautiful venue may not feel worth it if the process is a nightmare. I am a control freak and prone to anxiety, but I felt nothing but total calm on my wedding day and it's all thanks to this team. Katie was on top of everything, without ever coming across as bossy or unreasonable. She was there with an answer to my questions before I even had to ask, and had a solution for literally everything. No task was too big or too small for her - she even helped me change into my Keds during the reception! She also made sure Brett and I always had a drink in our hands (if we wanted one) so that we never had to waste time going to the bar, she made us full plates of food when she realized we got pulled away by conversation, and she never let the plans get off track. She perfectly executed even the nit-pickiest of my requests, and always with a smile. Yet for how present she was, Katie never felt overwhelming or in the way. I am so grateful we found and chose this venue. I truly cannot imagine having done anything differently - it really was perfect. Bonus: the food was absolutely incredible. I come from a large family - we have had a LOT of weddings - and I was told by countless people this was the best food they've had at a wedding, and one of the (if not the single most) beautiful venues they've seen.

o your event date could have been totally overwhelming—if not impossible! The owners and staff at Bakery 105 made it seem easy and they helped us create an evening for our family and friends that was exactly as we had envisioned! The team at Bakery 105 is extremely organized and has excellent, ongoing communication with their clients. We were able to quickly make decisions on all food and bar options and on vendors needed to provide additional services such as linens and music. They coordinated all of the work with the various vendors to be sure everything was delivered and available as planned. They even provided maps of available nearby parking options that we were able to include in the invitations for our guests. They were very aware of our need for safety during the pandemic. Katie helped us in planning how to serve the hors oeuvres safely. Rather than having self-serve stations, she worked with us to have our selections prepared so they could be served individually on skewers and these were passed by the servers. We chose The Charleston Buffet for dinner and our guests loved the food! They raved about the fried chicken and both the Eastern and Western BBQs! Many of them went back to the buffet for seconds. The servers at the buffet also helped to keep the environment safe. I was pleased to learn that Bakery 105 ALWAYS has servers for their buffets, rather than allowing guests to serve themselves--- not just during the pandemic. We were able to select which beers and wines were served. The bar service was quick and efficient and they continued to provide table service during the dinner. We also liked the option of having the bar service priced per person and by the number of hours for our event. This allowed us to manage the costs well. Bakery 105 also arranged for additional staff to sanitize the restrooms after each guest’s visit. They worked with us to safely design an indoor environment with appropriate spacing to maximize safety. Our event was beautiful and very well-run! Bakery 105 had developed a time line that included all parts of our planned evening’s activities and were available to manage any changes as needed. They provided all of the necessary equipment for background music and a wireless microphone for the toasts! The lighting and décor were perfect for our event—all we had to add were the table decorations and linens. We were able to enjoy the outdoor patio during the cocktail hour and our photographer was able to capture some wonderful photos or our family and friends during this time. If you are planning a once-in-a-lifetime special event, you want it to be perfect! Bakery 105 provided this for us!

were more than accommodating and helpful. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Class act. Thank you Bakery!

iations of what the day would look like with us, trying to figure out what would be allowed during all of the restrictions, while still trying to have our dream wedding. She more than succeeded our day at 128 South was perfect! The food was amazing, as were the bartenders and staff that worked at the event. Katie more than exceeded our expectations as a planner during the whole process, but especially the day of, she took care of so many things that we didn't even think about- her attention to detail is top notch! I would highly recommend Bakery 105/128 South and would work with them again.

bration for everyone involved. The staff was amazing and the place is gorgeous! Thank you Bakery 105 for making my dad's 90th one we will all remember!!

bridesmaids to get ready. Katie and Jordan (the coordinators) worked with us to create a day that reflected everything we dreamed of and asked for. We wanted a wedding that was authentic, peaceful, and reflective of the love we share. It was that and SO much more. I delivered my decorations the day before the wedding, and Katie turned it into something out of a magazine. I had some pictures in my mind, but she blew my expectations away. When I walked into the venue, I felt so lucky, listened to, and loved. Sincerely, if you are looking for a picture perfect venue, an incredibly supportive team, and a day that reflects the personality of you and your partner -- choose Bakery 105.

lorida?! When Katie was not available right away to answer my questions, Jordan and Jill were right there with answers. The entire day was so beautiful and perfect and everything ran so smoothly. The food was AMAZING as well! Thank you for all that you did to make our special day so incredible and one that we will truly remember forever!

tep, and answered all of my millions of questions. The venue is stunning and looked even better than I could have imagined when it was all decorated. Food was amazing, and they even accommodated a special meal for someone with an allergy. The day went so smoothly even though it poured rain during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Love Bakery 105 and the amazing staff, and I have been recommending them to all of my engaged friends!

e any special dietary wants or needs of guests were taken care of and the food was delicious. Thanks to the hard workers at Bakery 105, my daughter and her new husband have a positive memory they will look back on for the rest of their lives and smile.

e people raving about the fried chicken!

uests. They also made selecting food easy as they offered flexibility from the published menus and took our feedback from the tasting to offer options that reflected our comments. Finally, I loved working with Katie at Bakery 105 on day of details. She was extremely supportive as we made decisions on how our evening was planned out and gave great suggestions, but always emphasized that it was whatever we wanted to do. With her as my day of coordinator, I didn't have to worry about a thing. She kept us on schedule and always made sure we had exactly what we needed. My stress level was so low because I knew she was taking care of everything, and I was able to relax and enjoy our celebration!

ng special, it seemed to be almost instantly available. The food was outstanding, warm, and fresh. The stations were constantly restocked. They helped us make a special menu We hired Katie as day of coordinator and she was great. She handled every detail and her help made the day very relaxing and fun for us.

e we were taken care of every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

always had smiles on their faces. Everything went off without a hitch and no detail was overlooked. It was a perfect day in the perfect venue!

paid (accidentally) and she caught it and made sure we paid the right amount. When our FLORIST DIDN’T SHOW UP to wrap the greenery on the light board (one of the bride’s must haves), Katie sent her staff member (Elise) out to get greenery and wrap the chandelier. AN HOUR before first look photos. I could go on about Katie and her staff, we left feeling like they were family. The food was SO good! Many guests commented that it was not only the best food at a wedding, but the best food they’d ever eaten out! Truly, you won’t regret using Bakery 105!!

ty to get ready and take pictures and is a place to store your belongings during the day. They provide food and drinks in house so you do not have to find an additional caterer and the food is delicious!!! If I could go back in time, I would still choose this venue all over again and would recommend it to anyone!

uggestions along the way. On the day of the wedding, our coordinator Katie went above and beyond her role when our florist arrangements fell through. I also really loved how close the venue was to other downtown hotels, restaurants, and bars - so convenient for our guests! I cannot recommend this venue enough!

pace is absolutely beautiful, easy to access and surrounded by so much to do for those who traveled in. We also rented the cottage, which if you are considering Bakery 105 I would jump on. The location is right across from the venue and allows for access throughout the wedding to keep your belonging and a wonderful space to get ready. The photos I have from getting ready in the cottage will be ones to cherish for a lifetime. If you are thinking Wilmington as your wedding destination I cant recommend Bakery 105 enough.

planning, we had an illness in the family that forced us to approach Katie to help take on a bigger role with the event. Without hesitation and in an efficient and professional manner, she took over and came to our rescue. Katie beautifully organized the ceremony and reception from start to finish and made our daughter’s special day the most special event we could have ever dreamed. Throughout the process, she kept us informed, made appropriate suggestions, and most importantly on the wedding day, organized the wedding party and especially the bride and groom like they were rock stars! As for 128 and 105 venues, they are so unique and adaptable and that made the rehearsal party and reception fantastic! These two sites have such wonderful options both indoor and outside that many guests have told us how wowed by the incredible vibe they felt in all the different spaces that the staff created. On top of that, the food was delicious and there were tons of options to choose from to please any palate. We demanded a lot for the wedding but Bakery 105 and all their staff treated us like royalty. It was our family’s greatest day ever!! Thank you Katie!!!
