I have so many great things to say about choosing our wedding reception to be at John Wright. We worked with Molly throughout the planning process who thankfully was also our day-of coordinator. She made the planning process so easy and fun, and truly embraced our crazy, unique ideas. She was always so quick to respond and was incredibly accommodating to us. The day of she kept myself and my family so relaxed, was so helpful with last minute requests, and we truly all had fun. We fell in love with the venue from the beginning: the rustic elegance, the view of the river, the large patio. Our guests had an amazing time and complimented the staff, the venue, and the day endlessly. We are so grateful to have chosen John Wrights as our venue.

We got married at John Wright on 2.18.18. John Wright Restaurant was the perfect venue for Michael and I. We absoutely loved having our ceremony/reception there. From the initial meeting with Molly Cook we need this was the place. Molly Cook was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond. She really made everything so easy for us. The food, atmosphere, friendly staff was on point that day. They really took care of us. It was worth every penny ! I highly recommend John Wright for any wedding/event.
We also had our rehearsal dinner the night before down in the dining area. The food and service was excellent. Our guests loved it! John Wright Restaurant is one of a kind!!! Thank you again for a wonderful experience and being apart of our special day! Michael and I will forever cherish the memories at John Wright on our wedding day!

Every wedding or event I've photographed at John Wright Restaurant I am blown away by the professionalism of their staff. Everything always looks so beautiful and picture perfect. I look forward to seeing their wonderful food selection and displays. My clients rave about how delicious the food always is. I would consider John Wright Restaurant for my own personal events and gatherings. My husband and I also enjoy eating there together and checking out all of their live events. I would recommend that brides give this place a look. Take a moment to take in the beautiful view of the river and all of the other great picture locations in the Wrightsville area.
