Great Venue and Experience!

We planned a very small wedding and reception (40 ppl) at Little Drum Landing in 14 days. Lindsey the coordinator was very responsive and helpful in the planning. The venue included all tables, chairs, china, utensils and set up so we didn’t have to worry about anything! The appetizers and main were delicious and the service from the staff was exceptional. It was affordable and low stress which is exactly what we needed.

Hidden Gem!

Little Drum Landing is an absolute gem in downtown Wilmington. The riverside views are unbeatable, and the space itself is both charming and versatile. Lindsey & Jodi were professional, responsive, and made the planning process feel seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-run venue right on the water—this is it.

My Fairytale Wedding

Lindsay and Jodi from Riverwalk Landing were such a joy to work with. They accommodated so many of our requests, the food was amazingly delicious, and there's not a venue with a better view of the Cape Fear River and downtown Wilmington. My only concern was that our guests wouldn't have enough parking, but we let everyone know of the private paid lots were in advance and no one had problems. Lindsay and Jodi were so open to our ideas and they were beyond helpful when it came to helping us make decisions and giving us recommendations for other vendors. The venue supplied tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and glassware. The caterers (Elijah's Restaurant) had a variety of appetizer, dinner, and alcoholic beverage options. Our guests raved about how good dinner and drinks were and how organized and professional the servers were. We are so glad we chose Riverwalk Landing and I hope our pictures convince anyone looking for a venue downtown to look no further. You will not be disappointed!

Best Venue Ever!

We are so thrilled we chose The Riverwalk Landing as our wedding venue. It's right on the water and the views are beautiful. Having an outdoor wedding was very important to us and this venue allowed us to do that. There was a large tent that covered the ceremony area so our guests weren't too hot. They also have multiple decks that can be rented based on your guest count. The inside area of the venue is perfect for photos and has plenty of room to setup the dinner buffet and house a bar as well. The bridal suite isn't huge but has plenty of room for getting dressed. This was the perfect venue for us and I would highly recommend it to others.

Jodi at the Riverwalk Landing did such a great job for my daughter's wedding. She got us everything we wanted (my daughter wanted to upgrade on table cloths and flatware, etc (a lot) and Jodi found everything we asked for). She went in on a Sunday to show us the venue since we are from out of town. She was very responsive to us during the planning process. She gave us great recommendations for everything we needed. She suggested a lighting guy, Keith Register, who came in and put chandeliers in for us and he actually hung our crystal strands and terrariums. Jodi gave us names for photographer, Ray Bacca, who we also used for rehearsal dinner venue. She gave us a great DJ, Don Jewell, who was awesome and put in a photo booth too. She gave us the name of our bakery, One Belle Bakery, who did the most beautiful wedding cake as well as a rehearsal cake of a Penn State helmet :). We had the perfect wedding at this venue - what a magical night! We were right on the waterfront and the food was AMAZING at this venue. I was very pleased with everything!!!

If you want a beautiful setting and an amazing staff with a top-notch leader in Jodi - book your event at Riverwalk Landing. Jodi went above and beyond to work with us, even taking care of small details that we had not thought of - for example, a creative drink menu sign for our Signature Drink! We have food allergies with a few children in the family and the Chef at Elijah's was fantastic at reassuring the parents and providing a special meal. We had a beautiful unforgettable wedding, our guests all said it was one of the best they had been to ever and we could not have been happier!

I can not say enough great things about The Riverwalk Landing! We were already familiar with the venue because of eating frequently at Elijah's and Pilot House when we're in town. We love the wharf and knew we wanted to get married there with the river as our backdrop. The staff was FLAWLESS and the venue is absolutely beautiful. The sun set over our reception and we were able to dance the night away under the tented deck under white lights-and the stars! I have gotten so many compliments on how attentive everyone was (especially from our guests with specific dietary needs) and how seamless everything went. Jodi was AMAZING-I planned our wedding from a few hundred miles away so communication was very important to me and she was quick to answer any questions I had. Having the venue, food, alcohol, linens, tables, etc provided by the same company made my part of planning so easy. Everyone is still talking about our wedding-and now I'm trying to find an excuse to have another party there!
