Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center Reviews

From the moment we chose Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center for our wedding venue, we knew we had made the perfect choice. The venue itself is nothing short of amazing, offering a blend of elegant space that was both inviting and mesmerizing. It served as the ideal backdrop for our special day, providing us and our guests with memories we will cherish forever. We opted for both the Atlantic Room and Platform Room, eliminating the need for a room flip and allowing guests to simply walk through a door to transition from the ceremony to the reception. Additionally, its proximity to the downtown Riverwalk made for stunning bridal and group photos.

Not only was the space itself remarkable, featuring brick walls and tall windows that allowed for lots of natural light, but the food and service were equally impressive. The catering provided by Aloft Wilmington was exceptional, with everything being a hit among our guests. From hors d'oeuvres to entrees and sides, even a selection of desserts beyond just our wedding cake that we were not expecting but was a delightful surprise. The dessert selection included carrot cake that was to die for, heart-shaped brownies with powdered sugar, and much more. The variety and quality of the food exceeded our expectations, clearly showing the care and expertise that went into each item prepared.

Did I mention the exceptional effort put into our wedding cake? Delivered as a plain white 3-tier cake from Sam’s Club, it was the venue staff who offered to use extra flowers to enhance its appearance. Remarkably, they took this initiative even though the cake was not prepared in-house, a gesture they were under no obligation to make. The transformation exceeded anything I could have ever imagined. I was truly blown away by the outcome, a testament to their exceeding expectations!

The bartending service was another highlight of the evening. No one had to wait long at the bar, thanks to the efficient and friendly staff who made sure everyone was served quickly and with a smile. This attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction was a common theme throughout the evening.

What set Aloft Wilmington apart even further was the incredible staff. Everyone was very attentive to us and our guests. They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding ran smoothly and that every need was met with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Aloft Wilmington also demonstrated great flexibility and understanding by allowing us to drop off items the Friday before our wedding and pick them up the Sunday after. This gesture greatly alleviated our stress and allowed us to focus on enjoying our weekend without worrying about logistics.

Choosing Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. The amazing space, delicious food, impeccable service, and attentive staff made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We cannot thank them enough for their dedication and for playing such a pivotal role in making our wedding celebration a resounding success.
