What is there to do near the wedding?

While the immediate area around our wedding venue is quiet with limited activities, we’re located about an hour from several great spots with plenty to see and do. If you’re looking to explore, there are lots of options within a short drive!

Wilmington, NC

For guests looking to extend their stay or explore the area, Wilmington is just a little over an hour from our venue. This coastal area offers a variety of restaurants, bars, and activities, along with its beautiful beaches — making it a wonderful spot to enjoy before or after the wedding festivities.

Raleigh, NC

Raleigh is another great option to stay or for a day visit. Just about an hour and a half from our venue, the city offers a little something for everyone — from museums, parks, and attractions to a vibrant food and craft beer scene. Whether you’re interested in history, the outdoors, or simply enjoying good food and entertainment, Raleigh is full of things to see and do.

Animals

Our venue is home to some sweet four-legged (and feathered!) friends you may see during the celebration. Guests can expect to spot cows, goats, chickens, and even a few friendly dogs around the property. They add to the charm of the setting, and we hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do! For everyone’s safety (including the animals), and cleanliness for the guests, we kindly ask and advise that some be admired from a distance and ask before feeding or petting.
