I could not recommend this Venue more

Let's start with the location: stunning! It's located close to downtown New Bern, so there are plenty of places for your guests to stay and a fun town for them to explore while not enjoying your wedding. One whole side of the property is right against the water for great pictures. The building itself is a fabulous, repurposed factory. The exposed brick and high ceilings are complemented beautifully by the newly updated floors, unique lighting fixtures, and a fantastic selection of furniture and decorations onsite. I loved it before I ever showed up.
What really sets the Maola apart is its people, namely the manager Dylan. He was fantastic from start to finish, always happy to hear and offer ideas and prompt in his responses. The best contractor my husband and I hired for our wedding; no one helped us more. The best example I can give you is this story. On the day of my wedding, hours before the ceremony, my grandmother tripped and bumped her head when she got to The Maola. Spoiler alert: she was totally fine except for a small cut, but in the moment we needed to get her to a doctor to be sure. Dylan knew the head doctor at the local minute clinic and called him as my grandmother headed over to make sure she got cared for as fast as possible. My grandmother had to watch the ceremony online but was discharged in time to make it back for pictures after. It means so much to me that Dylan made sure she was taken care of and able to come back in time to enjoy my wedding. I cannot thank him enough.
As far as I am concerned, The Maola is the best venue in the whole state and my husband and I are so glad we got married here.
