About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Station No.2 is a truly distinct boutique venue hosting weddings in historic downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. An historic wedding destination, the venue was once an old fire station and retains much of its industrial, red-brick charm. The station has played an important part in the community, and now offers couples the chance to assemble their closest friends and family in its walls. Located in one of the city’s most historic and picturesque neighborhoods, guests can benefit from proximity to many luxury accommodation options and cultural sites.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples are invited to swing open the striking red door of this stunning firehouse and celebrate inside with up to 80 seated. The main room comprises a beautiful open-space that can be arranged as couples need. Full of character it features rugged red-brick walls, modern rustic chandeliers, and tin ceilings. It includes a bar area, 80 Chiavari chairs plus accompanying tables. Outside, there is a charming courtyard that is ideal for hosting a small garden ceremony with close friends and family members. As night falls in the courtyard, it transforms into a softly uplit garden, creating an intimate atmosphere. Next to the courtyard is another 700 sqft of outdoor space ready for a dance floor, food truck, games, and more! Upstairs, you can escape for your overnight stay in the beautiful Firehouse Suite. Parking is free, plus the Trolley loops every 40 minutes.

Accommodation

Station No.2 includes a luxurious suite above the main room which is ideal for the newly married couple. It can also be used as a get-ready space in the hours surrounding the event. The suite features an open-plan kitchen, dining room, and two comfortable bedrooms.

Services Offered

Station No.2 can direct you to local wedding planners, caterers, photographers, and entertainment vendors for an unforgettable celebration. Couples celebrating will hire a day-of coordinator, that will help set everything up and take care of their event's every detail. The venue offers a range of bar packages for couples to choose from, letting guests raise a glass to their love; or you may prefer to BYOB. The Weekend Package includes 2 nights using the venue and the Firehouse Suite so you can can enjoy your rehearsal dinner party on site before the big day!

    Beautiful venue. Helpful staff

    Donna and Drew are excellent to deal with. So easy to contact and so helpful the whole time. We hosted a rehearsal dinner for my son. We live in Connecticut so doing it long distance they were so easy to work with.

    Thank you so much, Liz! It truly was a pleasure meeting you guys. What a great family you have and what a great job you did!

    Perfect Venue and People

    From the first moment you meet Donna at Station No. 2 you start to get excited about having your wedding there. She is fun, personable and easy to talk to, and knows the place top to bottom. She is unflappable. When (not if) you choose Station No. 2, get Drew to be your bartender, he is excellent, easy to work with and quick to respond... and also knows everything about the venue. We were in good hands from the moment we booked it through the day after the wedding. The courtyard is gorgeous. The inside space is warm and vintage-y with plenty of room for all we needed for our 50 guest sit down dinner and dancing after. If you want a great venue with the best people, choose Station No. 2.

    Station No. 2's reply:

    Thanks so much, Doug! You & Ally were amazing. Period. I am not over the flowers, books, and your song!!! ❤️ I have to plan “An Evening with Doug McFarland” at the Station.

    No better place for a wedding weekend!!

    Wow!! If you are getting married in Wilmington and you don't check out the Station, you are missing out!! My husband and I got married here in October of 2022 and there are so many reasons we are forever glad we did! The ability to rent this place for the entire weekend was a lifesaver for us. We were able to set up everything the night before, host everyone in the suite upstairs for the after-rehearsal dinner, do a "bachelorette" sleepover the night before the wedding, get ready for the wedding just upstairs, and spend the night as husband and wife there afterwards!! Donna was hilarious and down to earth and the most responsive vendor I dealt with in planning. They allowed our dog Penny to sleep upstairs with us and join in the festivities. The entire property from the courtyard to the venue space to the firehouse suite are so beautiful and well done. We hardly had to do any decorating! Needless to say, we enjoyed our time here and would do it over and over again. Go tour this place today!

    Station No. 2's reply:

    Hey Rachel! Thanks for posting a review on both the Knot and Wedding Wire! I never think about asking for a review on these sites. Thank you! Thank you! I truly enjoyed you and your friends/family. Your wedding was beautiful!!!
    ❤️ Donna
