Atrium by Ligon Flynn Reviews

The atrium is the most beautiful secret garden oasis tucked away in downtown Wilmington. You feel like your in this very private garden but are just blocks away from all the downtown excitement. We had Laura Horton as our day of coordinator (she works with the venue) and the day couldn’t have run any smoother - things happened like clockwork and we had no issues arise that as the bride and groom we had to fix. The bridal suite is such a nice spot to get ready in lots of beautiful natural light, you can peer out onto the guests as they arrive. 10/10 would recommend this venue

We had our wedding ceremony here and could not have been happier with The Atrium. The space itself is absolutely GORGEOUS. You don’t have to do a whole lot to the space since it’s already so beautiful on its own. We had so many guests ask how we found this "secret garden" right in the middle of Wilmington. It’s an absolutely beautiful venue, and Jill White was so easy to work with. Speaking of, I would HIGHLY suggest using Jill for your day-of Coordinator. She was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our overall wedding. She was awesome to work with from the very beginning. She is incredibly knowledgeable of all the different vendors in the Wilmington area, and she was great for giving recommendations. She is extremely organized and we knew we were in good hands the entire time. She is very responsive to calls, emails, etc. and I always felt like we were on the same page with everything. I even changed a few things regarding timelines and layouts because of her suggestions – she wasn’t pushy about anything, but just suggested a few changes given her experience, and I’m so glad she did because all of them were spot on. The actual day of the wedding was unbelievable. Jill and her assistant, Heather, quite literally thought of or anticipated everything. We forgot water glasses for the ceremony and she had already noticed and ran out to by some for us, along with ice, before we even realized we had forgot them. Just a small example of what they kept doing the entire day, including wrapping up at the end of the night. She kept everything running so smoothly between our ceremony and reception at 128 South. We were able to truly enjoy our day because we knew she was taking care of everything. We loved her, our wedding party adored her, and our families couldn’t stop talking about how great (and hilarious) she was. There is no way the day would have happened the way it did if it wasn’t for her!

I had my wedding ceremony at the atrium and it was absolutely beautiful!! Jill is the owner and she is so sweet and great to work with. She always responded right away to my emails. This was my dream wedding venue and the price was very reasonable! I had 80 people at my ceremony, but I would say there's plenty of room for about 100 people. I would definitely recommend getting a day of coordinator if you want to decorate (everything has to be cleaned up after the ceremony), but honestly the venue is so beautiful that you don't need any decorations! I am so happy I had my ceremony here and I highly recommend this venue!

The Atrium by Ligon Flynn is a breathtaking venue. The garden feel in the heart of downtown makes this a very unique space. We had around 100 people attend our wedding, and the space was the perfect size for the ceremony and reception. You will need a day of coordinator, at minimum, if you decide on this venue as nothing is included except for the benches for the ceremony. The fact that nothing is included allows you to customize the space and choose vendors of your liking which was a huge bonus for us. You have access to the venue for 10 hours - this includes set up/ceremony/reception/clean up, which can be tight unless you have a day of coordinator or event planner to get everything organized. I am SO glad we chose this venue, our wedding couldn't have been more perfect!

I LOVE this venue! We were looking for a romantic spot for our ceremony and this was more beautiful and perfect than I could have ever imagined! Jill who is the coordinator for the Atrium is incredible – She is extremely sweet and very responsive! Every time we met or talked on the phone I was so relaxed and did not have to worry about a thing. She is extremely organized – things that I would have never thought of she brought to my attention and walked me through everything.. I could not have done it without her! The venue is truly a hidden gem in downtown Wilmington! Thank you again for the PERFECT ceremony!

The Atrium was truly magical. It was the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony and reception. Jill was a total rock star! I could not have done it without her. She took on everything and made our day just beautiful. Everything about the Atrium made our wedding a dream come true. Meeting with Jill each time made me more relaxed and I worried about nothing. Not one time on my wedding day did I think of anything not being the way I wanted because I knew Jill was in charge. She really saved my sanity! The Atrium was perfect for our small intimate wedding/reception and I couldn't imagine spending our day anywhere else! Thank you Jill!!

My husband and I held our September 2016 wedding ceremony at the Atrium and it was perfect. The venue is lovely and really doesn't need much decoration; our guests still comment on how beautiful it was. We also hired Jill as our coordinator - one of the best decisions we made. Jill is fun, friendly, responsive and astonishingly organized. She planned the perfect event for us and kept our minds at ease throughout. Couldn't recommend enough.

When I saw the atrium, I knew it was going to be the perfect place for my wedding. I used it for ceremony and reception for a wedding of about 50 guests. Jill is awesome, I used her as my day of coordinator and wouldn't have been able to do it without her. The courtyard is beautiful with the wall at the altar covered in greenery. There is also a koi pond/fountain along the back wall. The benches that served as seating for guests were just the look I wanted in my wedding. If you’re looking for venues in Wilmington definitely stop by The Atrium and check it out.

We booked The Atrium for our wedding ceremony in October. We had over 130 people at the event, so we had to use both sides of the venue. The Atrium is perfect. It is a dream. We got lucky with a perfect, perfect day and timing with the sunset. Most importantly, we hired Jill for our day of coordination as well. Before that, since I am not from the area, I felt good enough to email Jill every question I had, even before I knew she did day of coordinating. She was always super responsive and very helpful. I am so glad we got her for our wedding. She books fast! She knows everyone in the area, which helps a lot getting things done. She started a couple of weeks before the wedding calling every vendor and confirming all the logistics and my timeline. My parents have not stopped talking about how glad I hired her. They had no idea how much we needed one, to be honest, neither did I.

She kept everyone on time all day and helped us with the rehearsal the night before. Without her, we would have all been lost, seriously. She is great, professional, hardworking, full of energy and 100% dedicated to her work. I can’t stress enough how much Jill was a jewel. I truly hope we can plan another party at The Atrium one day and have Jill there again. It was all so perfect. She even showed up at my hotel room that morning while we were getting ready to make sure we were all alright and good to go. That was awesome. She worked so HARD for us that week and day and we truly appreciate all she did for us. The Atrium and Jill – is the way to go! I am so glad we got so lucky, or blessed…

Could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at The Atrium. We hired Jill as our day-of coordinator and that was the best decision we made hands down. She made our day so stress-free and handled everything very professionally. The Atrium is such a beautiful little secret garden in the heart of downtown Wilmington and it made all of my wedding day dreams come true. Thank you Jill!!

We could not have chosen a more beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Jill was great to work with. She was prompt to answer any questions we had and made sure we were all set and everything was perfect for us on our wedding day!

When I first visited the Atrium, it was love at first sight and I knew I had to be married here! I call it my "secret garden" since it's preciously tucked away amidst all of downtown Wilmington's hustle and bustle. Jill White was my ceremony's coordinator and was absolutely amazing! Everything went PERFECT! If you're looking for a sweet, romantic, garden backdrop for your wedding, I advise you to research and visit the Atrium. I promise you'll fall in love with it as much as I did.That spot will hold such a wonderful place in my heart for the rest of my life! A huge thank you to Jill for helping us create such beautiful and precious memories at the Atrium!❤️

This place is absolutely breathtaking! We had our wedding ceremony here and were so pleased with how it turned out. The landscaping here is stunning on its own; we didn't have to use a single decoration. Jill White and her team did an amazing job setting it up and coordinating the event for us. Highly recommended!!

We absolutely enjoyed using the Atrium for our ceremony and reception venue. Jill was a pleasure to work with and could not have been more flexible. We weren't locked into any vendor and were able to plan our event without any arbitrary restrictions. The layout worked well for our guests (~80), and even though it rained most of the day it was clear in time for the ceremony! Great value for the location as well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an outdoor location in downtown Wilmington!

Jill has been a joy to work with. She's been prompt in getting back to me and very knowledgeable. The Atrium is the most beautifully classic venue I've seen to date! So excited for November!!

The Atrium was absolutely perfect for our wedding day. The staff was extremely welcoming, helpful and flexible to ensure everything was exactly what we wanted. This venue is a canvas for you to create the wedding of your dreams! We had our wedding and reception at The Atrium and our guests loved not having to travel to a reception. Downtown Wilmington also offers amazing backdrops for pictures and beautiful scenery if guests want to take a quick stroll between the ceremony and reception.

This place was more than I could have ever dreamed of for my wedding! Jill was a delight to meet and work with and was unbelievably flexible and helpful when planning the wedding ceremony. The place itself is stunning! I would love to rent it out again for a family reunion or party!!!!!

Perfect setting for our May wedding. The venue staff is very accommodating to schedule changes and open to individual requests.

The Atrium was the perfect spot for my daughter's wedding. Everyone commented on what a great and unique venue it was. Picture a lovely courtyard feel tucked into Historic Wilmington. It is a hidden gem right in the heart of town and just a few blocks from the riverfront.
The space was wonderful, the staff extremely helpful and focused on making a wonderful day - completely off the charts. We highly recommend the Atrium for any special event in the Wilmington area.

We used Jill White for our day-of wedding coordinator and could not have been more happy. Although we contracted with her just for the day of our wedding, she was more than helpful throughout the process. Considering I was planning the wedding from 500 miles away, it was a life saver. I can't tell you how many stressed out days Jill fixed just by answering a few questions.

The day of our wedding went fabulously - because of Jill. I did not worry about a thing. She handled the set-up for the wedding, and addressed every concern. I didn't have any stress, and she always made sure I had a drink in my hand.

There are a lot of excellent vendors that we had for our wedding day, but I couldn't recommend any more highly than Jill. For all the money we spent, what we paid her was the most valuable to me. (She could easily charge double and still be worth every penny.) My husband and I truly got to enjoy the day while she handled logistics. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

We worked with Jill for our daughter's wedding at another venue...and this lady knows her business and is on top of every detail! I couldn't have managed without her. Jill came recommended by the people at our reception venue, as the day-of coordinator, but I had her attention for over 3 months (let alone one day)!. She kept everything on time and moving perfectly. Every vendor was contacted and briefed before the big day, all the decorations were placed exactly as I described - in fact her ideas were much better than mine. She kept us calm and all I had to do was answer the phone and give her authorization to solve what minor issues we had. Easy, easy to work with and everyone loved her.

This venue wasn't available for rental when I got married a few years ago but I have since booked it for both a first anniversary party with friends as well as my baby shower. It is the most unique space in all of downtown Wilmington...well, it's really something special unto itself. With both covered and uncovered gathering spaces, you can have the best of everything at The Atrium. It's a little oasis in the heart of downtown: incredibly whimsical and romantic and vintage and organic...geez I just love this place. Inquire NOW for premium dates/times because this place stays booked but consider Fridays and Sundays too, all equally good.

The Atrium was absolutely beautiful for our wedding ceremony! The vines and brick looked amazing in our photos. We got really lucky with the weather on our wedding day so we were able to have the ceremony in the uncovered part. If it had rained, however, I would have been really upset because they would have had to shift the seating to the covered area. We took a risk with the weather and thankfully we got lucky. I would recommend The Atrium for anyone wanting to have an unconventional location for their ceremony!

Jill and The Atrium staff are amazing. It was the perfect venue to start our marriage in. Wouldn't change a thing!

The Atrium was a gorgeous place to have our wedding ceremony! We even did our cocktail hour here immediately following the ceremony. There was plenty of room for all 120 guests to mingle and relax while enjoying the natural beauty of this place.

I would have given this place 5 stars except for a few minor details. We couldn't use rose petals on the ground for the aisle, bc anything we brought in needed to be cleaned up immediately following the ceremony (and seriously....which one of my guests could I have given that job to. It should be done by a cleaning crew after we leave.) Also....we dropped off all of our items the morning of the wedding expecting them to be set up by the coordinator there. But an hour or so before ceremony time we get a text asking when we are coming to set up bc she doesn't do that. Luckily a few of my aunts ran down there to get it done. Wouldn't have been a big deal if we knew that detail ahead of time.

Other than that.....everything was great. Jill helped the bridal party in the timing of each member walking down the aisle. And everything flowed nicely.
