  Wonderful Waterfront

  Our Whalehead wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and more! We loved getting married on the waterfront with the historical house and lighthouse in the background. I was nervous about the groom seeing me before I came down the aisle, but Chris knows the layout so well that he was able to hide me along some shrubbery. The weather was perfect and all of the vendors work really well together to make sure everything comes together beautifully. I highly recommend renting a golf cart (which can be done through Whalehead) for your older guests and also for yourself! Chris and Samantha were easy to work with, flexible, and want to make your day as magical as possible!

  Stunning venue, helpful staff

  I am a wedding planner and recently coordinated a wedding at Whalehead. Through the entire planning process, the venue's staff members, Chris and Samantha, were extremely helpful...even to the point of assisting us with some of the setup and breakdown. My team can't thank them enough! Whalehead is a beautiful venue and makes the perfect setting for both wedding ceremonies and receptions.

  Best Wedding Venue

  I could not speak more highly of the Whalehead club. Their team went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding went off without a hitch.
  
  The scenery was incredible and the grounds were in pristine condition. For what you get at the Whalehead club especially for the price, you will not find a better wedding venue. We still have friends telling us how magical the night was.

  Wedding of our dreams

  The historic Whalehead was an amazing venue for our daughter's wedding. Situated right on the Currituck Sound, you are treated with amazing views and stunning sunsets. This combined with the 1920's mansion that is the Whalehead Club and views of the Corolla Lighthouse provide the perfect, natural backdrop for a dream event. The staff worked hand-in-hand with both us and our wedding planner to create the wedding of our dreams. We will recommend this venue and Kemberly over and over again.

  Historic Corolla Park Gazebo Wedding

  Historic Corolla Park was the most amazing place to have our wedding. The little Gazebo they offer for small wedding was exactly what my wife and I were looking for! Kemberly was the Whalehead representative we worked with and she couldn’t have been better! She was quick to respond to every single question we had! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a small intimate wedding in the outer banks! We cannot wait to get the pictures back!

  Romantic sights, responsive and helpful staff, wow factor

  After going to OBX for vacation every year for 20 years, Whalehead was a no brainer contender for a wedding venue once we started planning our wedding. Kemberly, the coordinator at Whalehead, made that decision even easier. She was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond, and was a pro in every meaning of the word. The day of our wedding we got to enjoy a beautiful cotton candy sunset, as if the views from the south lawn and point weren’t beautiful enough. There were also so many great places to take photographs around the property, I simply cannot wait to get my professional photographs back! Additionally, the bridal/groom’s suite were large and immaculate and decked out with huge mirrors/vanities, making it the perfect place to hideout before the ceremony. Thank you SO MUCH to all that keep Whalehead a very special place, especially to Kemberly who really made the day possible.

  Thank you Kemberly from Whalehead for making our May 2018 wedding so magical despite the stormy weather. From the moment we first meet Kemberly, she made us feel at home and the Whalehead grounds are so beautiful. Our family and friends were so happy we chose the beautiful Whalehead. Kristi and Jason

  We were married in June and Kemberly was amazing to work with from start to finish. The grounds are beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

  This venue is completely beautiful, and all of our guests agreed. Every angle is photo-worthy.
  The staff is kind and helpful while figuring out the plentiful guidelines/rules regarding hosting an event at the historic park. As a heads up, you will have to bring in all of your own (pre-approved) vendors.

  The Whalehead Club was a beautiful place to get married. There were endless photo opportunities - from the sound side view to the Currituck Lighthouse to the walking bridge to the historic Whalehead Club. Our photographer was impressed and our guests shared many photos of the sunset that day that were breathtaking. We made it a point to set up additional photos during twilight hour to capture such a beautiful back drop. We booked our ceremony and reception at the Whalehead Club primarily because the cost was very reasonable. However, when we visited the venue in December 2015 - the whole area was so breathtaking, we felt as though we had gotten a really sweet deal. Of course, paying for everything a la carte - the tent, lighting, wedding planner, tables, chairs, linens, restroom trailers etc. - added up well over our budget. But, we wouldn't have changed anything we did for the world. Thank you to all those who helped coordinate our big day at the Whalehead Club - especially Kemberly Sawyer from the WHC, Gena Martin from Platinum Party Planning, and Jerri & Megan from Metro Rental.

  Beautiful. Incredible.

  Whalehead was hands down the best venue. From the moment I walked the beautiful property, I knew it was the place. Kemberly helped every step of the way. She answered every question I had in a timely manner, which is a HUGE help when planning a destination wedding. You will not be disappointed with this choice!

  Our daughter's wedding was held at The Whalehead Club on Saturday, October 15, 2011. We cannot say enough good things about the professionalism, responsiveness, and general overall helpfulness of the staff NOW handling the events there. We had LESS than 6 months to put the wedding together and they were there every step of the way giving us suggestions and tips for this gorgeous venue. While we had trouble getting answers to emails from other OBX vendors, we never had to wait for an answer for the event staff. In fact, they anticipated many of our questions and send organized, detailed emails to us about things to remember to do in the final weeks leading up to the day. As the event drew closer, we thought that they were as excited as we were! I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend The Whalehead Club as a wonderful place to have a wedding. Our guests were bowled over by the beauty of the setting; the peace and tranquility in October, along with a lovely, warm day, made for a picture postcard day. Words cannot do it justice!

  After looking at venues from Maryland to the Outer Banks, The Whalehead Club was the perfect combination of charm, beauty, and open space that we were looking for. The backdrops of the club, sound, lighthouse, and bridge provide limitless photo opportunities. I can't imagine a more beautiful place to get married! The only thing I would have done differently is start the wedding earlier. There is no flexibility on the end time for the reception (as determined by Currituck County, not The Whalehead Club) and we were not ready for the party to end!

  I couldn't have asked for a better place to do have my wedding and reception. It was just breaking taking at sunset and I got the most amazing pictures. Many of my guest thought it was the most beautiful weddint they had been to. Kari was excellent to work with and very professional. I gave them 4 stars for price because it is costly and they wouldn't allow me to put my dress on in their house. I had to use my photographers hotel room because it was a 45 min drive from my families cottage.

  Too notch. A lot of moving parts for a reception at Whalehead but Kemberly was very helpful with guiding us through the requirements

  My daughter’s wedding was magical. We were going for understated elegance, and that is exactly what we got with The Whalehead Club!

  Picture perfect setting and such a unique place to hold your wedding. Coordinators were wonderful. Beautiful sunset over the sound as well as the lighthouse make for wonderful pictures.

  One word: GORGEOUS!!
  
  My husband I had spent a lot of time in the Outer Banks, and few places are as beautiful as The Whalehead Club. As soon as we saw the park, we knew that's where we wanted to get married. The Whalehead Club offers several wedding packages, so you don't necessarily need to have everything held there - although, that's what we did. If you want to party late into the night, I would suggest a different venue, as the local ordinances restrict weddings from going past 10:00.
  
  Sondra, the Wedding Coordinator, is great to work with. She's tough to get a hold of, though. During the planning phase, we had to call and email a few times before we got a response from her. But once we got down there for the wedding, she was always very prompt and helpful. She was such a help on the day of and she gave me great recommendations for other vendors (like hair, rentals, etc.).

  Good experience! They were a little slow to respond to emails, but overall very accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with them. The venue is beautiful!

  The Club is beautiful and was a wonderful place to have a wedding. I didn't have my reception their but i know that they do allow receptions. They were extremely helpful and catered to my weddings every need. The wedding coordinator is very nice and helpful

  Our wedding ceremony was held at the Whalehead Club on 9/18/09. The Whalehead Club is a restored historic landmark that allows weddings on its beautiful lawns. We chose to only have our ceremony at this location, but you can also host receptions there.. There is a dedicated Wedding Coordinator on staff at the Whalehead Club. We booked our ceremony site 11 months before our wedding date, and during this time, two different Wedding Coordinators were on staff. Both women were very responsive and helpful. However, when we specifically asked the original coordinator if multiple weddings would be booked at this location simultaneously, we were specifically told that if another couple requested our same date, we would be called and our permission asked before the second wedding would be booked. When the new coordinator came onto staff, she contacted us to go over details and mentioned that another wedding had been booked for our day. We were very upset since this went against what we were originally told. Obviously the new coordinator could not change the situation, since the 2nd wedding had been booked by the previous coordinator, but she did everything she could to make sure guests and vendors didn�t get confused and nothing was going to be set up for the 2nd wedding during our ceremony.
  The Whalehead Club was an absolutely perfect setting for our wedding. The natural beauty of the place and the gorgeous sunset could not be beat. It is a rather expensive setting, especially since you still have to rent tables, chairs, tents, etc, but it is a unique and beautiful setting.
