Sycamore Bend

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. To make your wedding day truly memorable, in addition to The Grounds at Sycamore Bend, we recommend you include the Sycamore Bend Manor in your wedding plans. This historic home, built in 1818 and newley restored in 2023, is the perfect space for your wedding party to gather for your day. 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.

Facilities and Capacity:

The Grounds at Sycamore Bend has several very large open spaces for your wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or another party. Next to the stable is a covered concrete driveway as well as tample space for tents. Inside the stables is a handicapped bathroom which are included in our rates. Sycamore Bend can handle all sizes of events.

Additional amenities at the Grounds at Sycamore Bend include mesh Wi-Fi covering the entire estate, 45+ Sonos outdoor speakers, a world-class hydro-clay tennis court with lights for evening play, a regulation beach volleyball court, stocked fish pond, and peaceful walking paths along a tidal creek. You might also see one of our retired show horses grazing in one of the pastures.

The Grounds at Sycamore Bend has options for on-site parking up to 50 cars. For larger weddings we recommend using a local shuttle service or a handpicked valet service.

Love Filming At Sycamore!

As a professional wedding filmmaker in the coastal nc area, I have filmed at A LOT of venues.. and while most are very nice they don’t offer the variety of scenery and locations as Sycamore Bend does! They work really hard to stay on top of the venue to make it a magical southern dream experience for each bride to have a memorable story!

But Don’t take my word for it, if you’d like to see some examples of films I’ve shot there to see for yourself! Feel free to check out some films at:

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
