Slate & Cypress is a beautiful wedding venue located between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach in Calabash, NC. There, couples can treat their guests to a luxurious, all-inclusive experience at this boutique garden estate.
Inspired by Tuscany’s stunning landscape, this North Carolina wedding venue offers a beautiful and relaxing coastal escape. Begin the day in the Vanity Suite, where you and your wedding party can prepare for the day ahead with a nine-foot beauty bar, large mirrors, and exceptional lighting. When it’s time to walk down the aisle, exchange your vows in the estate gardens, where white ceremony chairs can be arranged on the perfectly manicured lawn. The Tuscan water fountain, lighted topiary tree orchard, and gorgeous garden arbor create a stunning backdrop for wedding photos and more. After, head to the European-styled outdoor covered Bistro Patio for an unforgettable cocktail hour. This setting offers over 3,500 square feet of covered event space, replete with warm pendant lighting, polished concrete floors, ceiling fans, fancy Parisian bistro tables and chairs, and more. Next, walk through the timber-frame breezeway and make your way to the Venue Hall, which can accommodate weddings of up to 200 guests. Towering ceilings, exposed brick, and endless natural light combine with sparkling chandeliers and neutral colors to create an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere for your reception. When the festivities wind down, the happy couple and several guests can enjoy a comfortable stay in the Estate House, which sleeps 12.
At Slate & Cypress, there are both single-day and weekend-stay packages available, designed with your needs in mind. Both options include full-service wedding planning delivered with white glove service for the true VIP experience.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of having our wedding at Slate and Cypress, and we cannot speak highly enough of our experience. From start to finish, every aspect of our event was flawless.
We chose Slate and Cypress' wedding planning services and we could not have asked for a better experience. Olga took the time to understand our vision for the big day and executed it flawlessly, exceeding our expectations at every turn. On the day of the wedding, Slate and Cypress ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy ourselves in the moment without worrying about any logistics. Their calm demeanor was reassuring and truly could not have done it without them. We received countless compliments from our guests about how seamlessly everything flowed and how beautiful every detail of the wedding was. Slate and Cypress played a significant role in creating those memories for us, and we will be forever grateful to them.
The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for our special day.
Slate and Cypress is simply the best. From our initial inquiry to the day of the event, Andrew and Olga were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring that our wedding was nothing short of perfection. Their expertise and dedication were shown in every interaction, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our every request.
Overall, our wedding at Slate and Cypress was a dream come true, thanks to the unparalleled service and attention to detail provided by Olga and Andrew. We are forever grateful for the memories we made at this venue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to create an unforgettable wedding experience.
Thank you again for making our day the best day of our lives.

We got married at Slate & Cypress on October 18th, 2025, and would live in that day forever if it were possible. From the moment we visited S&C and met Andrew & Olga, it was clear that their venue was the right fit for us. The venue is stunning, and any updates they made during the process just made it even more beautiful. They have truly created wonderful partnerships with their in-house services that made the entire process so much easier and lived up to every expectation. Not having to find a caterer or DJ for the event took a lot off our plate from the start. Working with Olga to plan the wedding itself was a wonderful experience, and she eased every concern that we had. As a bride who tends towards ‘Type A’ and gets paid to care about timelines and details, this was the most carefree I have ever been at an event. I didn’t even know what time it was the whole day because I knew Olga (& Andrew) had everything under control. If it is not clear by now, we would recommend Slate & Cypress a thousand times over.

It’s hard to describe what will be one of the most memorable events in our lives. My daughter had the wedding of her dreams at Slate & Cypress. Andrew and Olya made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most special day for them. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. All aspects of the contract were clearly explained, and the timeline / due dates were easy to follow. We held our reception in the stunning, tastefully designed winery inspired venue hall. The hall was large enough to accommodate our 150 guests, the DJ and dance floor, the dinner buffet and the bar area. For their ceremony, they were married outside on part of the 5 acres there. We used the old heritage tobacco barn to host their cocktail hour and it was a perfect place to have guests wait while having appetizers and cocktails. Our friends and family have raved for weeks about how incredible everything was, saying it was the perfect mix of class and unpretentiousness. I cannot recommend this venue, Andrew & Olya, enough. A million thanks to Andrew and Olya for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Our venue could not have been better for our destination wedding. The gorgeous grounds and private location made our ceremony and reception feel intimate without being cramped. We loved the chickens running around (which Andrew offered to coop)! Andrew and Olya catered to so many of our needs by helping us find vendors as we were not local.
They provided a fun, romantic playlist for cocktail hour, and took care of all our seating needs for the ceremony and reception (as I forgot to think about high chair for my own kid). I truly had one of the best nights of my life at the venue and couldn't possibly say enough good things about the place. Between the beautiful fountain, outdoor smokeless firepits, fruit trees, rustic patio area, and elegant reception hall, there was something that everyone one of guests enjoyed. So much Love to Andrew and Olya who helped make my wedding perfect!

So not only was this place absolutely gorgeous, but the owners are also incredible! I could not have dreamt of a better day. They were so communicative and professional, all while being completely down to earth. The pictures of this venue don't quite do it justice. If I ever have to get married again or do a vow renewal it will, hands down, be here! The owners made my wedding dreams come true. I felt so comfortable being there and talking with them, it almost felt like I had been there a million times. I am in love with this venue and I cannot wait to see how beautiful all my pictures are going to be. Thank you both so much.
