The wedding venue that DREAMS ARE MADE OF - you literally can't do better than WM!!!

I can honestly say that since Wrightsville Manor opened, I have dreamed of getting married there - I started dating my now husband shortly after WM opened and was lucky enough to intern with a planner who had a wedding there... that day I secretly started planning our wedding and six years later I am so blessed to say that dream became reality!

Wrightsville Manor is one of the only venues that I can truly say gets prettier every time you visit. The team at WM truly care about the venue and take such good care of it, I am in shock of how perfect it continues to look!

If the perfect venue alone doesn't sell you, the team at WM will hands down. Specifically Erin St. Ledger Lea - there is no other venue manager in history that #1 is as cool as she is (lol honestly she's so fun to talk to) but is so helpful and somehow finds time to respond to every single question within what always feels like minutes?! She is so good at what she does and knows the Wilmington wedding vendors so well and was so so sooo helpful in recommending the greatest vendors to make our day exactly what we envisioned.

The WM bar packages are also amazing, we didn't do any type of speciality drinks (even though it was so tempting because they sounded soooo good) but the premium bar package was everything our guests wanted and more. Unfortunately I never made my way to the bar on our wedding night (because my friends made sure a full drink was always in my hand) but I wish I could've thanked the bar tenders because the fact that they kept up with our guests without any major lines throughout the night was a miracle in itself - they are so good at what they do!

All around, you can't beat the experience you get when you get married at Wrightsville Manor. I still can't believe I get to say that we got married there, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world and it truly a dream come true! Thank you to Erin and the WM team for making the day I've been dreaming of for 6+ years better than I ever could have imagined!!!!!

Wrightsville Manor Review

I truly had the wedding of my dreams at Wrightsville Manor! From the moment we booked the venue to the moment we left at the end of the night, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, and every detail of the property is so well maintained. The landscaping is stunning and created the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Everywhere you look feels elegant, romantic, and timeless.

A huge thank you to Erin, who was wonderful throughout the entire process. She was always so kind, organized, and responsive whenever I had questions. It was clear how much she cares about each couple's experience, and she played such a big part in making us feel confident and excited leading up to our wedding day. By the end of the planning process, I genuinely felt like I had gained a friend.

One of my favorite memories was spending the morning getting ready in the bridal suite with all of my bridesmaids. The space is beautiful, spacious, and the perfect place to soak in every moment before walking down the aisle. The bar service was also incredible, and our guests absolutely loved the drinks. We received countless compliments throughout the night about the venue, the atmosphere, and how smoothly everything flowed.

Wrightsville Manor exceeded every expectation I had. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would choose this venue a hundred times over. It was truly the most magical day of my life, and I am so grateful to the entire Wrightsville Manor team for helping make every wedding dream I had come true. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

The best venue!

Wrightsville Manor was truly everything I had dreamed and more. The communication from the venue team was amazing and they were so flexible as we prepared last minute rain plans (which we luckily did not need). Their bar packages are SO reasonable priced and everyone raved about the options and the service. I cannot recommend this venue enough, they are amazing at what they do and I would do it all over again!

The best venue and staff ever!!!

We had our wedding at Wrightsville Manor in March of this year, and I can't even begin to describe how amazing our experience was! From the moment we booked the venue, Erin was incredibly helpful, highly responsive, and always ready to answer our detailed questions. Leading up to the big day, she coordinated seamlessly with our planner, Shauna Gartz, which gave me total peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, everything was completely effortless. I didn't have to worry about a single logistic! From the flawless setup and the positive energy of the staff to the fantastic bartending team, it was an absolute 10/10 experience. It was truly better than anything I could have imagined!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding venue or experience than Wrightsville Manor! From our very first visit, to the wedding day itself, everything was seamless. The venue is absolutely stunning and truly speaks for itself, providing the most beautiful space for our day.

What made the experience even better was the incredible staff. Everyone we worked with was professional, responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect!!

Can’t recommend enough!!

Wrightsville Manor venue was an absolute dream. My day was perfection and Erin St. Ledger, Jennifer Wilson my coordinator, and the rest of the vendors made it possible. Weddings are expensive but it was worth every single penny. The oak tree in the back is beautiful, the indoor/outdoor venue was exactly what I wanted. They worked very reasonably within my budget. Everyone told me it was the best wedding they’ve been to! Entire crew was professional and extremely accommodating. Absolutely book with Jennifer Wilson as a coordinator, she is phenomenal at her job.

5 stars across the board!

This venue is absolutely stunning - rain or shine! We genuinely enjoyed planning our wedding here and are grateful for all of the support Erin and her team provided. Communication was quick & informative! Overall, it was a magical day, and I believe a lot of it had to do with the fact that we picked Wrightsville Manor for our venue. And it’s in a great location for your guests to stay at the beach!

This is such a beautiful place to get married. If you are looking for something close to the beach but still want that old downtown fill, this venue has it all. They have a beautiful patio that is well lit at night, along with a huge ballroom to host large weddings. The staff are extremely nice and very professional! I highly recommend this place.
