Sycamore Bend, one of our Southern Dream Venues, is centrally located in Wilmington, North Carolina, on a 18-acre historic property. Imagine your venue being held on a beautifully landscaped estate which includes a picturesque stable, sprawling green pastures and an open lawn surrounded by pristine white fencing. The Grounds at Sycamore Bend can be used for weddings, rehearsal dinners and other outdoor events.

Included in the Manor is a one-of-a-kind bridal suite with room for the entire bridal party to mingle and prepare their hair and makeup. For the groom and his groomsmen, there is a unique space including a 93-inch flatscreen TV, a pool table, poker table, all sorts of games and plenty of seating to relax.
