Bostwicks Magnolia Manor
Exclusive Waterfront Wedding Estate
Outer Banks, NC
Service area
From the moment we arrived at Bostwick's Magnolia Manor, we knew we had chosen somewhere special. We stayed for four wonderful days, and that made all the difference. Instead of feeling rushed, we were able to truly enjoy every moment with our family and friends.
The weekend began with a beautiful bridesmaids' luncheon, while the guys spent the day out on the water fishing. That evening, everyone gathered in the gardens for the most incredible rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect setting to relax, laugh, and celebrate together before the big day.
The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful. Everything went perfectly, and I honestly can't think of a single thing I would change. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it was clear that the people at Bostwick's Magnolia Manor truly put their heart and soul into making every wedding special. They genuinely care about their couples and families, and it shows in everything they do.
One of the biggest blessings was having the entire estate for several days. We weren't rushing in and out like you do at so many venues. We had time to gather, make memories, and simply enjoy being together. It was the most stress-free wedding experience we could have imagined.
If you're looking for more than just a venue—if you're looking for a place where your family can stay together, celebrate together, and create memories that will last a lifetime—I cannot recommend Bostwick's Magnolia Manor enough. It was everything we dreamed of and so much more.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We could not have picked a more perfect place for our wedding than Bostwick’s Magnolia Manor! What made it so special was that it wasn’t just a wedding venue — we had the entire estate to ourselves and were able to actually spend time with our family and friends instead of having the whole experience fly by in a few hours.
The property is absolutely beautiful and gave us so many options for our ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner and time together throughout the weekend. Having the Manor House, Elderberry Studio/bridal suite and Jasmine Bunkhouse meant our closest family and friends could stay right there with us, which made the experience even more memorable.
Another huge plus was having so many of the things we needed already available at the property, including tables and chairs, a dance floor, beautiful ceremony and reception areas, and even their own luxury restroom trailer. It made planning an Outer Banks wedding so much easier.
The Magnolia Manor team was wonderful to work with and helped us with all the little details, local vendors and questions that come along with planning a wedding. We never felt like we were just another wedding on the calendar.
If you are considering an Outer Banks wedding, especially if you want a place where your family and friends can truly gather, stay together and make an entire weekend out of your wedding, I would absolutely recommend Magnolia Manor. We made memories there that we will treasure forever!
