Beautiful venue. Easy to work with. Highly Recommend

I researched tons of venues in and out of Wilmington. I am so glad we decided on the venue Porters Neck Country Club and on Pallas as Day of Coordinator! Everything was beautiful inside and out! My guests kept telling me how great the place was. Food was amazing (and let's be honest, wedding food is not always the best.) They were flexible with my requests. Pallas answered my hundreds of emails throughout the year leading up to the wedding. I made and bought many decorations, etc for the wedding and was nervous about set-up but Pallas and her team handled everything without a hitch. I had nothing to worry about. They really made my day perfect. Definitely recommend!

Thank you Pallas

I have already been telling people about the amazing event. Pallas could not have been more attentive, caring and professional. From the time the date was set, until the very end of the actual event, she made sure everything was perfect for the bride & groom. I was so impressed with how she "owned" this wedding. She took great care to ensure that every aspect of the wedding was perfect. Leading up to the day, there were so many details that needed to be handled. Needless to say, I was a bit stressed. Pallas knew what needed to be done and they were done! I cannot explain how relaxed she made me feel knowing that she had everything under control. She did everything she could to make my daughter's wedding perfect...And it was!

Porters Neck Country Club was a perfect venue. The golf course and landscaping that surrounds the club is beautiful. The clubhouse is elegant and the food was delicious. We knew we made the right choice!

If I could do it again, I would select the exact same venue!

We were married at Porter's Neck County Club in April 2021. We planned and had our destination wedding during COVID, so to say there were many moving parts would be an understatement. I cannot say enough about Pallas, Chef JP, and the team at Porter's Neck!! I absolutely loved planning my wedding and the execution couldn't have been better.

Since we live out of state, it was important to have open lines of communication and flexibility with visits. We always felt very welcome and that our wedding was a priority to the team - from the first walk throughs to the food tasting to the rehearsal and wedding.

If we could do it all over, and I want to;), we would chose Porter's Neck Country Club!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of having our wedding at the Porters Neck Country Club. Our wedding was even better than I had imagined. While looking at various venues in the area it quickly became clear that Porters Neck Country Club was the obvious choice. Pallas, the event coordinator at the country club, was nothing short of amazing! She worked with my wife, applying her acumen and expertise to bring to life her vision that was brilliant and complicated. Pallas made it seem effortless. Our wedding ran the full gambit from a traditional ceremony with chivari chairs and a violinist by the weeping willow tree, a cocktail hour outside, a lovely dinner service in their ball room, followed by the remainder of the reception outside. The lighting, lay outs, décor, and facilities were amazing. Pallas anticipated and planned ahead for every contingency. My wife and I did not feel stressed in the slightest during the entire event. Pallas moved everyone through the various transition with ease and was the critical component of our wedding behind the scenes. When I look back on one of the best days of my life, I am happy we made the choice of Porters Neck and Pallas for our big day, which couldn’t have ended up more perfect.

My husband and I were just married there yesterday (9/1/2018) and we couldn't wait to write a review. Everyone who worked our wedding was beyond helpful and professional. We worked closely with Pallas, the event coordinator, and we would absolutely recommend her to everyone we know for any sort of event. She was great about answering emails, allowed us to come visit the venue whenever we wanted, and helped guide us through the wedding planning process. We also used her as our day of coordinator, and everything went perfectly. She was great at staying on top of other vendors and helping our guests with their needs during the event. She even helped our grandma get dinner while my mother-in-law was busy! Can't rate them high enough.

We are so happy to have chosen Porters Neck Country Club as our wedding venue! It is such a spectacular place with fantastic amenities, stellar food and outstanding service! Their Events Director, Pallas, was such a delight to work with. Pallas was timely, responsive, professional, creative and her experience in event planning was incredibly helpful! The entire process was smooth and stress-free all thanks to Pallas and her team. Everything was absolutely perfect the night of our wedding: the plated dinner (delicious!), the beautifully decorated ballroom (wow!), the order of events, the dance floor, the hors d’oeuvres (yum!), drinks, service, etc. Pallas made sure that everyone was taken care of, including my husband and I. For instance, she made sure that my husband and I ate dinner and she took care of any and all possible stressors regarding the wedding reception portion.

We could not be more pleased with such extraordinary service and experience! Even our wedding guests raved about how amazing everything turned out.

Thank you, Pallas and all of the Porters Neck staff, for everything you did to make our special day one to remember! <3 Pallas, you are a rockstar! THANK YOU!

Porter's Neck Country Club was a fantastic venue choice! Absolutely stunning location, inside and outside. The outside was manicured and well taken care of, and the event space (ballroom, bar/pub, and facilities) were clean and classy. All staff members were very friendly and accommodating. We had the pleasure of working with the event coordinator, Pallas, the most throughout our wedding planning. She was extremely professional and considerate! We planned our wedding from abroad which was challenging at times, but that was no problem for her. She offered up helpful advice and took into account our budget. On the day, she really made it her priority to make sure we had the best wedding day! The value for money was spot-on, the location was top-notch, the food and drinks were amazing, and the staff could not have been better. Overall, 5 stars!

I cannot speak highly enough about having Porter's Neck Country Club as my ceremony & reception venue! It was really a wonderful experience. The grounds are beautiful, the country club is unbelievable, and the staff is top notch! My wedding coordinator from the country club, Caitlin, was superb. She answered all my questions- no matter how small and walked me through everything. All my guests loved the location and were well taken care of. I highly recommend this location!
