We recently had a micro wedding at Shell Island. This was a perfect decision for a small intimate wedding. Meredith was very helpful and responsive leading up to the wedding. Growing up in Wilmington I always knew I wanted to get married on the beach. We're so happy with our decision!

Overall very easy to work with, the bar staff for our open bar was excellent! Beautiful space with a rain option. Last minute changes were easy to make as well.
