About
The Jarvis at 220 is a historic wedding venue situated in downtown New Bern, North Carolina. The mansion has been extensively renovated in 2018 into a four-bedroom/4 bath home that operates as a flexible event space. Owners Brandi and Bret Strickland bought the venue the end of 2022 and want to ensure an amazing stay for all of their guests. The venue is available for booking your dream wedding or next event. Couples can invite their loved ones to enjoy wedding ceremonies, receptions, bridal showers, engagement parties, elopements, and rehearsals at the facility, which offers both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Facilities and Capacity
Many couples choose to have their bridal party stay overnight at The Jarvis, where they are able to get ready in the comfort of a "homebase" for the big day, having everything they need on-hand. On the big day, the groom and groomsmen can relax downstairs at the Cellar Door, a 1,000-square-foot pub containing a pool table, darts, foosball, big screen TV's and a bar area. The outdoor garden patio space can accommodate a sit-down reception for 100 guests or 200 guests for just the ceremony. Our interior main floor can host a smaller sit down reception for 25 in the main dining room. This main floor is also popular to host a bridal shower and can accomodate 40 guests. The main floor has a large welcoming foyer with baby grand piano, 3 large living rooms that are open to one another and the large dining room. All these spaces are open to each other.
