The Beaufort Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us! Bridget and Amanda were incredible to work with—they made the entire process of selecting the spaces, curating the menu, working with the timeline and coordinating our room block seamless and ensured every aspect was well-executed.
The hotel itself is stunning, with gorgeous waterfront views and a beautiful ceremony and reception space that created a magical and romantic atmosphere. We even saw the wild horses several times throughout our stay!
All of the food was absolutely delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The oysters from our cocktail hour were the best we've ever had! The service was 5 stars - bartenders and servers were fabulous.
Friends and family traveled from all over the world, and they were continuously complimenting the property to us!
Everything about our New Year's Eve wedding exceeded our expectations. There is something so magical about the coast in the winter and this venue in particular is decorated so beautifully in December. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate, and we are forever grateful for the experience from The Beaufort Hotel!

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for our wedding! Amanda and Bridget from the hotel were so responsive leading up to the wedding and I worried about nothing on our wedding day! They had everything handled with catering and venue set up. We got married inside the pavilion and it was the perfect backdrop with Taylor Creek in the background. Our reception was in the ballroom and it was perfect for our cooler fall wedding!

hosting you again for your anniversary next November!

Blake and I wanted a wedding venue that could serve us in more ways than just a wedding venue. As we were looking for an out of town venue that wasn’t too far of a trip for our guests, yet still a distance to get away for the weekend and enjoy, we fell upon The Beaufort Hotel. We knew from our first tour of the property with Kimberly that it was definitely our dream venue/destination. We knew we would be in good hands, have the best service, the best food and enjoy the best location/ hospitality that the property has to offer. We cannot thank Bridget and Amanda enough for the year of planning that led up to our special weekend and all of their hard work that went into making everything flow so perfectly from the many virtual meetings, a couple of site visits and tasting, to many calls and emails. They were there every step of the way to help us make our dream wedding come true on August 26, 2023. As wedding week approached, they executed the whole week perfectly as we had many guests traveling in for the whole week.
We had over 200 guests travel in to stay on property, and we cannot praise this fabulous team at the Beaufort Hotel enough for treating us and our guests with 5 star service and hospitality that was out of this world. Many of our guests are still raving over our hotel.
As far as our ceremony and reception, this team of rockstar event professionals fully went above and beyond our expectations. From the ceremony in front of the pavilion, to our cocktail hour upstairs on the veranda and our tented reception on the beautiful front lawn, we could not have asked for anything better. Our three course meal for our reception was amazing, and our guests definitely have not forgotten how delicious it was. As I mentioned before, a lot of our guests stayed onsite all weekend enjoying the pool & pool bar, 34 North Restaurant and Bar and the late night service at the 34 North bar - the service was incredible all weekend long.
The Beaufort Hotel will always hold a very special part in mine and Blake’s lives, and we cannot thank this team for its amazing service all weekend long and for being able to help us fulfill our dream wedding! We are looking forward to staying on-site again for many anniversaries! Much love to the dream team!

Besides being an absolutely beautiful venue, the staff was wonderful! We were so impressed with Bridget and Amanda. They were awesome at helping us make choices to make the day perfect. All the serivce staff from the front desk to the waitstaff were attentive and professional. Jordan, at the front desk, went above and beyond to make sure our guests were well taken care of. All of our family commented about how kind and helpful Jordan was when checking into the hotel and attending the reception. Every little detail was taken care of!! The food was excellent!

I grew up in Beaufort, NC and always had the vision that I would return and get married in my hometown. The Beaufort Hotel was a dream, and our wedding was stunningly beautiful! We were even lucky enough to have the wild horses make an appearance during our cocktail hour (talk about lucky!!)! Bridget, Amanda, ownership, the banquet staff, and everyone involved were so thoughtful, kind, accommodating, and great to work with. They brought our vision to life with a smile, and for that we are so grateful. They truly cared about making our day special! I highly recommend getting married at this storybook venue!

We had my daughter’s wedding here on 4/20/24 and if I could give the Beaufort Hotel 10 stars I would! The staff was very friendly and professional, especially Bridget and Amanda handling all my questions. Also, the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our reception was held in the ballroom and all the guests kept raving about the food, especially the oysters and crab cakes. Overall, the beautiful scenery provided an amazing backdrop for the ceremony and the great food and staff made for a wonderful wedding weekend!

The Beaufort Hotel looked like something straight out of a fairy tale for our December 29th wedding. From the moment we met with Bridget and Amanda everything was easy and organized. They allowed us to step outside the box and create the wedding of our dreams in a very short timeframe. Everything was doable. The food was amazing, and the staff couldn't have been more wonderful. We had over 50 guests come from out of town and stay and everyone had a positive experience, and many can't wait to come back. The pictures we have and the memories created here will stay with us for a lifetime. We will go back often ! You will not go wrong if you pick to celebrate your special day here!

I don’t even know where to begin with how absolutely amazing the Beaufort Hotel is. Everything from the attentive staff, delicious foods and beautiful location- you come to them with the vision and they bring it to life. What sets them apart is not just the beautiful scenery but how they make you feel apart of the Beaufort Hotel family- they go above and beyond to ensure that everything is perfection. We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception there on the grounds and it was everything we dreamed of. The versatility of the property makes it so anyones vision can be brought to life and the food varieties can please any pallet! We could go on and on- 10000x recommend the Beaufort hotel!

The Beaufort hotel is not only a breathtakingly beautiful place to get married (rain or shine) but the staff and coordinators made everything so seamless. From the planning to the day of they were so attentive and quick to respond. On the day of the wedding the staff was so efficient and our guests raved about the amazing food and how it came out hot and cooked to perfection. The Beaufort Hotel is a top notch one stop shop wedding venue and the fact that they have the hotel and restaurant and multiple event spaces makes all your event possible without ever having to leave the property. 10 stars, highly recommend, you will not be disappointed if you choose to have your wedding here.

Amanda and Bridget are both top notch! They were extremely communicative and made the planning process so easy. They are both very professional but personable and we truly enjoyed working with them and enjoyed them as people. They truly care about your day and you as a couple and that shines through in everything they do! 10/10 would recommend getting married at the Beaufort Hotel and working with Amanda and Bridget!

The Beaufort Hotel was the most magical place we could have ever dreamt of getting married at!
From the staff during the wedding planning process (Bridget + Amanda), to the hotel staff, to the catering staff, to all the staff included at the Beaufort Hotel during our wedding week, we cannot thank them enough! From my hubby & I and to our family & friends that traveled to be part of our special weekend, everyone felt so cared for, taken care of, and most of all special during their stay at the Beaufort Hotel. From the moment Ryan and I (+ our dog Harvey) arrived at the hotel for our wedding week, we felt cheered on to the arrival of our wedding day!
We had our rehearsal dinner in the Marlin Room right on the Beaufort Hotel property which was amazing. It was convenient for our guests, absolutely beautiful view for the sunset, and offered a different feel than our wedding day which kept the 2 events special!
Our wedding day was the most incredible day we could have ever imagined. Everything ran smoothly and we had a dream team of vendors that were all familiar with the hotel and staff (shout out Knot a Second Thought!). Also, let’s talk about the location… can someone say dreamy?! The Beaufort Hotel offers a relax & unwind feel (that most importantly is dog friendly) with the availability to explore Front St. by golf cart (this was fun!) and take in all that beautiful Beaufort, NC has to offer. The Wedding Pavilion offered the most beautiful scenery for our ceremony (with an awesome coastal breeze), and our cocktail hour on the veranda + ballroom with that beautiful water view, it was all a dream.
Ryan and I (+ Harvey🐾) will forever be thankful to Beaufort Hotel and cannot wait to visit for our annual Anniversary!

My wife and I got married at the Beaufort Hotel in the first half of August this year, and we could not be happier with the venue and their staff. Our wedding was more beautiful and more fun than we ever dared to imagine. Every single guest - from the small children to the silver-haired elders - had a really great time. We had a small/medium guest list for our wedding (around 50) so we chose to have the wedding at The Boathouse at Front Street Village, which is right next to the hotel, rather than the big lawn at the hotel (which also looks like a beautiful place to hold the ceremony). The venue was amazing for pictures and dancing and everyone had a blast; the food was delicious (or so I am told by everyone in attendance, my wife and I had to scarf our food down so quickly I hardly remember it); and the staff was on their A-game all night.
In fact, the Beaufort Hotel staff did such a great job we feel compelled to shout some of them out by name:
Amanda Lewis: the best Event Manager in the business! Well, she's the only one I've had occasion to work with, but she made us feel well taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process. She kept us on track with decisions we had to make, was always happy to jump on a quick call to answer our (incessant) questions, and made sure the day of the wedding went very smoothly. She also went above and beyond to work with us to swap out parts of the menu and help us pick a delicious meal that fit our budget.
The Beaufort Hotel Staff who served at the wedding (James, Ben, Ayanna, and Hailey): this crew did an impeccable job. The food was seamlessly brought out and whisked away at the end of dinner. They did the same for the cake (and did a great job cutting it in the back). The bartender, James, was very charming and kept the drinks coming all night. Ben, Ayanna, and Hailey were super efficient, polite, accommodating, and thoughtful (Ayanna even thought to make sure we got our cake toppers before leaving). I could not be happier with the phenomenal service they provided. I'm so sorry if I left anyone's name off this list (I got James the bartender to write their names down) because this crew provided such great service and they deserve to be recognized. If you have your wedding here, make sure to ask for the elite service squad of James, Ben, Ayanna, and Hailey.
Jenny (front desk employee): amazing hotel employee that made us feel so, so welcome. Some of my new in-laws who stayed at the hotel for the wedding speak only Spanish. When they arrived at the hotel, one of the older ladies was car sick from the long drive. Jenny came out from the front desk and immediately offered assistance, speaking with my in-laws in Spanish and welcoming them to the hotel. It meant a lot to my in-laws to have a Spanish-speaking employee be so friendly and welcoming even while one of them was feeling so sick. Note for the Beaufort Hotel - bilingual employees are a HUGE asset!
Hotel bartender (I think his name was Chris - the New Yorker): the most stereotypically amazing bartender. Picture for a moment the character of "charming bartender in light comedy movie" - that's Chris. Quick with the quips and the pours, he was supremely charismatic and fun when we stopped in at the bar the night after our wedding. He (and the lovely hotel guest who bought our drinks) made that night very memorable.
And others too - the valets, the shuttle bus driver, and all of the staff we interacted with at the hotel were delightful people who made us feel very welcome.
The hotel itself earns high marks too - the rooms are very nice with extremely comfortable beds, great showers, and refined interior design; the landscape and setting are beautiful; the hotel pool has a bar that serves great cocktails; and the hotel runs a shuttle that will drop you off in downtown Beaufort and pick you back up.
Overall, a 10/10 experience at the Beaufort Hotel. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel as the venue for your wedding or as the place to stay while visiting the beautiful NC east coast.

My husband and I fell in love with venue when we came to have cocktails one summer on vacation. I knew the moment I walked in that we would one day get married here. Bridget is fabulous! She is very responsive with all communication and spent a lot of time with me during the entire process. If you want a beautiful venue with great food and drinks do not look anywhere else. We were beyond grateful and so blessed to have our wedding at The Beaufort Hotel.

The Boathouse location and staff was amazing! The Pavilion was absolutely perfect; the weather was amazing and we had a bit of a breeze that was great by the water. The decorations were exactly what we wanted, and the view from the balcony was perfect just like I hoped it would be. So many guests commented on how beautiful it all was- with much credit to the hardwork of the Boathouse staff. And the food - sadly we were busy all night speaking to guests - but the little bit we got to eat was amazing! Kenny does not disappoint!
We are very happy and the Boathouse did a terrific job!

My husband and I were married there over a year ago, and I still have people that come up and rave about how beautiful our wedding was. The venue and setting are absolutely breathtaking. The service was amazing. All of the staff from the managers to the event coordinator and in house caterer were fabulous and so helpful. I would do everything exactly the same if I had to do it over again! I highly recommend this venue to any bride that is thinking of getting married in the Beaufort area. And a huge plus we were able to depart on my husband's boat!

The location is absolutely beautiful and the employees are wonderful. The food is delicious and this is a perfect venue for a smaller to mid-size wedding. If you want a sit down dinner, keep your headcount below 80 and the food will come out wonderfully.
