    Small Ceremony Friendly

    Our experience with Airlie Gardens was wonderful. Nicole assisted with any questions I had about my reservation and was very professional and friendly to everyone involved. Excited to go back and visit the gardens in different seasons for a full view in all that this beautiful place has to offer.

    My Dream Venue

    I just love Airlie Gardens. I’ve dreamed of getting married there since we moved to Wilmington some years ago. Every inch of the gardens is perfect for photos. There isn’t a bad place in the whole garden to host a wedding it’s just all so pretty and right by the water. Only downside is that they don’t provide anything but a backdrop. Would be nice if they maybe had tables and chairs on site or something. When you book Airlie, you’re booking iconic Wilmington. Prettiest place in the city if you asked me. My photos came out so gorgeous! I highly recommend!

    You can't ask for a more beautiful place to get married than Airlie. I really loved that they allow you to use golf carts so you can take pictures in a lot of different places throughout the gardens. Plus they have coordinators with walkie talkies communicating so that if you're doing a first look there you can pull it off and so on and so forth.

    Airlie Gardens was such a dream/magical wedding location! It is absolutely STUNNING. I felt like I was a princess getting married there! It is hands down the most beautiful venue and unique venue in southern NC! There are SO many places for pictures and lots of beauty for the guests enjoy during the wedding instead of only just eat and drink. We got married in September so the gardens were looking absolutely gorgeous. The wedding coordinator is Nicole and she is such a sweetheart! She is very on top of things and super helpful with anything you might need (including numerous golf cart runs for the wedding party and elderly people). I cannot recommend this venue enough!

    My husband and I had our ceremony at Airlie Gardens in the Pergola Garden and we could not have been happier with our experience! We worked with Nicole leading up to the day and she was wonderful and incredibly easy to work with. Airlie had incredible staff on hand the day of who helped to ensure that the ceremony went off without a hitch. The gardens themselves are absolutely breathtaking and our guests could not stop raving about the beauty of the grounds. We cannot imagine what our day would have been like had we not had our ceremony at Airlie Gardens.

    Airlie Gardens was beautiful and extremely accommodating with my wedding planning. They even moved my time up an hour when I was freaking out about my ceremony being too late, I highly recommend them@

    Nicole was so awesome!! She took over our planning from another employee and she was the best! From the initial contact she was professional and so friendly. The venue is GORGEOUS and I could not have been happier with getting married here!! There was a tropical storm that was supposed to hit shore the day we were to be married and Nicole called me and made me feel at ease! She was so flexible and really catered to us the day of! I highly recommend Airlie and Nicole!!!

    I had my wedding March 5th of this year and Airlie Gardens was very cooperative about everything. They really cared about my happiness on that day and had the garden set up specifically for my wedding. The whole wedding turned out perfect and I am so happy that I chose them as my venue for the wedding ceremony. Thank you so much to the team at Airlie!!!

    Airlie Gardens speaks for itself - It is truly one of the most incredibly breathtaking places I have ever been. We knew, before I even said "YES!" that Airlie would be where we would want to get married, and that was one of the best decisions we have made to date. Becky and Rebecca were so wonderful to work with - they were very calm, and proactive, and we knew exactly what would happen and where we needed to be on the day of the wedding. Airlie Gardens is worth every penny, and I would recommend it to anyone that I know! And the best part was that you only needed very subtle decorations - there is not much that you could do that would top that 500 year old Oak Tree!

    Getting married at Airlie Gardens was the best decision we ever made. I had always thought we would be married in a church but when we moved to Wilmington and got engaged, my husband mentioned he might like to get married outside. At first I was opposed to the idea but as I started researching venues in the area, I realized there really was no comparison. Everyone who works at Airlie was incredibly nice and professional. They communicated with us throughout the entire process and we couldn't have been more pleased. Airlie is a historic garden close to Wrightsville beach that makes for a picture perfect wedding. We could not have asked for a more gorgeous venue!!

    I had my wedding ceremony at Airlie Gardens and it was such a beautiful location and the ceremony was awesome! Rebecca was so helpful and always answered emails and phone calls promptly and answered all my questions in a very timely manner. We had to wait awhile to put down our deposit and I emailed her frequently to make sure our date wasn't taken yet and she was always so nice and told us if anyone was interested in our date she would give us a heads up! She gave us a great tour of the property and all the places to set up for a wedding. She was flexible with us on when we could get into the garden the day of the wedding. Also, for people who have a hard time with lots of walking they provide a golf cart to take them from their car to the ceremony site and they also provided a golf cart for us to go with our videographer and photographer prior to the wedding for our "first site" and pictures. They were very professional and easy to get along with! I would absolutely recommend them for others interested in using them for a ceremony or reception! We loved them and the gardens!

    Airlie Gardens was absolutely perfect for my wedding day. The gardens are beautiful and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The cost is pricey and doesnt include anything other than the use of their land but worth it.

    Absolutely Beautiful Venue

    The event staff was so professional, friendly and responsive to all our questions. We knew exactly what to expect and how to work well within their guidelines.
    It’s such a beautiful place.

    This venue is absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about the gardens and am so excited for my friends and family to see exactly why we chose to get married here. I am from Wilmington originally but my fiancé is not, and when he saw the gardens for the first time he knew that's where we were going to get married! The only thing I would change is the price for the gardens because it is very steep for the small amount of time you get.
