The Venue at Grand Regal- Elizabethtown/ White Lake, NC

Jenna and her team were absolutely amazing, and the venue was astonishingly beautiful. Not only did they work with us more than we expected, they went above and beyond to make my wedding day seamless.
From Jenna’s 5-star recommendations for vendors and the reasonable prices across the board, I knew I wanted to go with The Venue at Grand Regal the moment I saw it, & it was the first one I toured. Everything was complete with a fairytale vibe, straight out of a movie.
Hidden away in the middle of North Carolina, only an hour from the coast of Wrightsville Beach, Elizabethtown is home to White Lake; one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen, as well as the wedding venue of my dreams- The Venue at Grand Regal. It can be described as nothing other than a “Diamond in the Rough”.
Located on the (literally) crystal clear waters of White Lake, it was exactly what I wanted- string lights and palm trees, white sands, with a pier to walk on so my heels didn’t sink on an actual beach! Everything was perfectly accented with just the right amount of greenery and lighting, making for a classy environment. Jenna allowed me to bring in my own decor as well; resulting in a classy modern wedding with bohemian elements, just like I envisioned.
The Venue offers a bridal suite for getting ready, as well as a breezeway room, which was perfect for cocktail hour.
We rented “ The Emerald House”, next door, separately owned from the venue but definitely a great addition/decision. Combined with the other accommodations which are within walking distance from The Venue ( bar, gas station, hotels/ lodging, restaurants, activities for kids, gift shops & more) I couldn’t have asked for anything else.
Everyone was on site and no one had to drive. To put the icing on the cake, The Venue at Grand Regal offers locations for both the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception, with the reception hall doubling as a back up/ rain location/ or simply for an indoor ceremony as is. The building itself contains garage bay doors which can be opened, closed, or window only, which is perfect for an indoor/outdoor wedding. Across all of the Carolinas, The Venue at Grand Regal was the best option by far.

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we searched and searched for a place like The Venue. Jenna was very knowledgeable of everything and made our wedding day one we will never forget! Everything was clean upon arrival and exactly what we were looking for for our special day. We still get compliments for how beautiful our wedding was and how much everyone loved our lake front wedding. I recommend this venue to all of my friends when i find out they are looking for a beautiful and affordable venue for anything whether it be a wedding, school dance, or family reunion. Absolutely loved that we got to spend the most important day of our life here!

We are beyond thankful for Jenna and her team. Our wedding was so beautiful and truly a dream come true and it was only possible because of her help. Although we booked within a year in advance, Jenna stayed in touch easily and made sure everything was perfect the day of. Every question we had she answered right away and was happy to meet with us despite being very busy I am sure. We did the all inclusive package which was the best decision. I have always been someone who decorates for others and loves to DIY and just do my own but I trusted Jenna to do it and send me pictures and I was amazed. The venue has had several beautiful upgrades that she made sure I knew about up until the wedding day which was appreciated. The catering service was also perfect and delicious, everybody loved the food despite being from a different culture. All the servers were very nice and sweet. The DJ was very accommodating and understanding to our culture. Of course one more thing I recommend to anyone who books at this venue is to book the nautique, it makes a beautiful getaway "car" at sunset! Cannot thank their team enough! Beautiful place and great team to book with!
