About this venue

Bostwick's Magnolia Manor is a historic waterfront Outer Banks wedding venue set on seven private acres overlooking the breathtaking Roanoke Island Sound. Built in 1936 and thoughtfully restored, the estate blends timeless Southern charm with carefully planned modern amenities while preserving the history and character that make Magnolia Manor so special.

Rather than simply adapting a vacation home for events, Magnolia Manor has been thoughtfully restored and intentionally equipped for weddings—creating a one-of-a-kind destination where family and friends can gather, celebrate, and stay together.

Exchange vows beneath the magnificent Southern Magnolia, planted by Laura Bostwick more than 50 years ago, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and unforgettable sunsets over the Roanoke Island Sound.

The beautifully restored Manor House is the heart of the estate, offering inviting gathering spaces and modern conveniences where loved ones reconnect and create lasting memories throughout your celebration. Wedding mornings begin in the Elderberry Studio, a professional salon-style bridal retreat featuring multiple styling stations, wall-to-wall mirrors, premium beauty lighting, and dedicated electrical circuits that allow multiple hairstylists and makeup artists to work simultaneously without overloaded breakers. The charming Jasmine Bunkhouse provides additional overnight accommodations, allowing up to 22 guests to stay together on the estate.

Celebrate all weekend with rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, cocktail hours, and family brunches in the private Cocktail Garden, while your vendors enjoy the convenience of our fully equipped Catering House with drive-in access, commercial refrigeration, prep space, restaurant sinks, dedicated bar space, and more.

Tables, chairs, linens, elegant event lighting, climate-controlled Luxury Garden Suites, spacious parking, and pet-friendly accommodations (pet fee applies) help make planning simple.

Staying a little longer? We're happy to connect you with trusted local partners for offshore fishing charters, Wild Horse tours, private yoga, in-home massage services, the North Carolina Aquarium, local dining, shopping, and other unforgettable Outer Banks experiences.

At Magnolia Manor, we believe weddings are about more than one beautiful day—they're about creating lifelong memories with the people you love.
Thoughtfully restored and intentionally equipped for weddings—not simply a vacation rental that hosts them.

Contact us to schedule your private tour or request additional wedding information. We can't wait to welcome you to Magnolia Manor.

Gather. Celebrate. Stay Together.

October Wedding

This venue could not have been more perfect for our wedding! The setting was PHENOMENAL! Laurie, Vicky, and Tim were a dream to work with for our guests and for set up info. Our photos with the property as the backdrop (by Jessie Walker) are just incredible and the setting on the grounds of this home could not have been more of a true dream. Highly recommend for a quaint wedding with a beautiful setting on the water

September Wedding

We had the most special day at this beautiful venue. We had wonderful hosts who took care of all our needs and made sure everything was perfect. So much attention to detail in the grounds, the rental properties and the bridal suite for the bride and bridesmaids had absolutely everything you could need! Even salon chairs with beautiful lighting and a small kitchenette. The landscaping is beautiful and the wedding pictures at sunset were stunning! So many options for a beautiful wedding here!

Farley’s 70th

I had a great 70th birthday with Bostwick Manor and the management was great. The property is perfectly set up for an outside event. The party began in the courtyard with drinks and appetizers. Then we continued on to the lavish backyard for a sit down dinner. A wonderful view of the water!
Also, the housing was wonderful for my guests. Beds were comfortable and all the pleasant amenities made things extra special! Everyone had a wonderful time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
