Travel

Wilmington's downtown Historic District is excellent to explore by foot or by horse drawn carriage! Beautiful Victorian homes, historic buildings, shops, bars and restaurants cover the blocks up from the Cape Fear River. Spend some time walking downtown and you'll see why we chose it as our wedding destination!
