Bakery 105 is a historic wedding and event venue nestled in the heart of Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Originally a cornerstone of the American Bakeries complex from the 1920s, this meticulously repurposed venue offers a captivating blend of industrial charm and historical allure.
Bakery 105 features a 3,400 sq. ft. garden courtyard adorned with planter boxes, bench seating, and enchanting details like brick pavers, creeping fig ivy, flowering foliage and crepe myrtle trees. Venturing indoors, the 4500 sq. ft. venue unveils exposed brick walls, high wood ceilings, and sturdy steel girders, preserving the mid-century industrial architecture that echoes the venue’s rich past. A large monitor skylight bathes the space in natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings. Bakery 105 is more than a venue; it’s an inclusive experience designed for everyone. With the capacity to host up to 250 guests, both the indoor and outdoor spaces are designed with accessibility in mind.
Within Bakery 105, modern amenities effortlessly mesh with the raw, unfinished charm of the original bakery, creating a distinctive ambiance for your events. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic-chic affair, a sleek and minimalistic celebration, or an extravagant maximalist event, Bakery 105 offers the creative freedom to make the venue your own!
Food & Beverage
Our clients can choose from a selection of caterers to accommodate any event (Of course, 128 South, our sister venue, is our favorite). 128 South provides comprehensive in-house, full-service catering featuring diverse menu options, including buffet, themed stations, cocktail-style receptions, and plated dinners. The professional staff, with their extensive expertise, ensures perfection in every detail, allowing clients to relax and fully enjoy their gatherings.
In addition to catering services, as holders of a NC ABC license, we must handle the sale and service of all alcohol on the premises. When it comes to making your cocktail selections, we offer inclusive hosted bar packages, consumption bars, and cash bar options with house and premium brands as well as mocktails, craft beers and signature drinks.
At our venue, we prioritize ensuring that our clients’ events are tailored to their preferences with utmost care.
Bridal Suite
Bakery 105 is located just steps away from our bridal suite, The Cottage on Orange Street. Once a former physician's office, the cottage dates back to the 1870s. Available for daily rental (unfortunately, The Cottage is not equipped for overnight stays), the house features sitting, dressing, and vanity areas along with a lovely garden side yard perfect for brunch and photos.

The bakery is a fantastic venue with a wonderful staff to be around! what more is there to say about this rustic venue in the heart of downtown Wilmington! As a lighting designer, I couldn't hope for a better venue to work in. The brick walls to the exposed beams and plenty of power all around the room makes me a happy guy!

Absolutely GORGEOUS and unique venue in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Fits a LARGE wedding guest list and has both indoor and outdoor options. The original acid washed brick in the bakery is a photographer's dream :)

Bakery 105 is hands down one of our favorite venues to work with! We've had the opportunity to do floral design at Bakery 105 for many weddings and its always so great to see how versatile the venue is. The staff is so wonderful to work with and the food is AMAZING! This is great venue for a ceremony, reception or any other event!
