Brittanne Sent on 11/04/2022The 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!!!!! -

The first best decision I ever made was saying “yes” to marrying my husband, and the second was choosing Wrightsville Manor as our wedding venue. Erin and her team were incredible to work with; they were so responsive, often getting back to me within minutes, which made the planning process completely stress-free.
Everything on the wedding day was flawless. The bridal suite was absolutely perfect — spacious, beautiful, and made for the most special getting-ready moments. The gardens and outdoor spaces were breathtaking, creating the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Our guests are still raving about the venue, saying it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended:’) The Oak Lawn was seriously pure magic. I still can’t get over the beautiful tree.
I cannot recommend Wrightsville Manor highly enough!!!! They truly made our dream day a reality! -

Brooke Sent on 04/17/20255 Stars – The Wedding of Our Dreams!
We recently hosted our wedding at Wrightsville Manor, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The space is absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained, versatile, and full of charm. Whether it was the ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, each part of the day flowed seamlessly thanks to the thoughtful layout and ambiance.
What truly set Wrightsville Manor apart, though, was the incredible team behind it. They were warm, responsive, and completely on top of every detail from start to finish. They made the planning process so much easier and helped bring our vision to life with such care and professionalism. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and felt effortless — all thanks to their behind-the-scenes magic.
Our guests were blown away by the venue and are still talking about how gorgeous everything was. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our love, and we’re so grateful to the entire team for helping create memories we’ll cherish forever.
Highly recommend Wrightsville Manor to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and truly unforgettable wedding experience! -

Katie Sent on 04/08/2025Best venue ever!!!
Wrightsville Manor gave my husband and I the most special wedding day!! Through the whole process leading up to the big day Erin was so helpful, kind and profressional! She gave recommendations for planners, cake, decor, officiants, literally everything you need. The Manor itself is better than the photos you see on their instagram! The grounds are so well kept and cared for! I will always recommend this venue :) -

Hannah Sent on 02/24/2025The only place I would recommend to have your wedding!
My husband and I originally eloped and decided against having a wedding due to the stress and all the things to consider when planning such a massive event. Having our wedding at Wrightsville Manor proved every single negative emotion wrong! I cannot even express to you how much we adored Erin, The director of Wrightsville Manor. My husband is active duty military, and his schedule is ever changing. We had a very narrow window of time to have a wedding, and Erin helped us along and answered our lengthy list of questions with such grace and kindness. At first, I was naïve with how a wedding worked and thought a preferred vendors list was a little limiting-BOY was I wrong! The vendors that Wrightsville Manor provides are absolute experts and professionals! Jennifer from Belle Ame events was an absolutely phenomenal planner and Wrightsville Manor recommended us to her. CM, from Middle of the Island Catering, was so attentive in insured all of our guests had a happy belly and more than enough to eat! I cannot even imagine trying to find vendors as specialized and wonderful as the ones provided by Wrightsville Manor. I cannot stress this enough: if you are looking to have a wedding in the North Carolina area, please do it at Wrightsville manner because they truly take care of everything and make your day so flawless! I did not experience an ounce of stress on my wedding day and many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever experienced! God was truly so good when He let us to Wrightsville Manor andErin! - Hannah & Tye smarjesse -

What a dream come true to get married at Wrightsville Manor! From the moment we walked into the venue, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Wrightsville Manor and Gardens is truly breathtaking, the ideal blend of grand and intimate — exactly the vibe we were hoping for. It’s the most picturesque venue in Wilmington, with an atmosphere that is both warm and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop that made our day feel so special and magical.
We are beyond grateful to Erin, our incredible venue director, who made the experience as seamless as it was memorable. Erin was attentive, responsive, and genuinely cared about our vision, always making herself available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure every detail was just right. Her warmth and expertise took so much of the stress out of planning, and it was clear she truly wanted our day to be perfect.
If you’re looking for a venue that is not only stunning but also managed by a team that truly cares, we wholeheartedly recommend Wrightsville Manor. Erin and her team created an experience beyond our dreams, and we’re endlessly grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. Our wedding will be cherished for years to come! -

Brittany Sent on 10/21/2024Exceptional Venue and Service!
We had an amazing experience with Wrightsville Manor for our September wedding! From start to finish, their team was incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions and accommodate our needs. We are not from the area so it was critical to have a venue that would work with us with ease virtually.
The space itself was beautiful and meticulously maintained. The bridal suite is also an incredible touch to make the wedding day seamless and easy.
We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend! -

Killian Sent on 09/24/2024Dream Come True!!!
Wrightsville Manor is hands down the BEST wedding venue! My husband and I got married on 9-1-24 and it was the most perfect day of our lives! We actually loved it so much just from attending a wedding there and looking on the internet, that we signed before even touring! We did not even tour a single other wedding venue because to me, truly nothing compares to WM! Luckily this didn’t apply to us, but another huge perk is having a great rain plan here. The inside can be used as the ceremony and/or reception, which is so assuring as someone who stressed a lot about the weather. Everything about WM is just absolutely beautiful. I witnessed the crew working so hard to make sure every part of the venue is perfect for the day. The greenery, gardens, bricks on the building, bar, bridal suite, and truly everything is absolutely breath taking! This venue photographs so well and we had SO many guests just in awe of how amazing the venue was. The communication is very efficient and the team is extremely organized. I would choose Wrightsville Manor 100 times over again! Absolutely perfect! -

Wrightsville Manor is beautiful! All the staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. It ended up raining during our wedding and we had to do it inside and it still ended up being so pretty! We were so thankful to have a venue that had a beautiful rain backup as well! -

My husband and I had our wedding at Wrightsville Manor. The venue is downright gorgeous and it is a magical place to have a wedding. All of our guests shared this sentiment and could not get over the pure beauty of the venue.
Erin was fantastic to work with throughout the process too. We would recommend Wrightsville Manor to all! Truly a stunning venue! -

Paige Sent on 08/20/2024Our DREAM Wedding at our DREAM venue
Our experience with Wrightsville Manor was nothing short of amazing! My husband and I live in Arkansas so there were a lot of additional wedding challenges when it came to planning an out-of-state wedding. The staff at Wrightsville Manor definitely helped ease this stress with their professionalism and communication. The venue itself is stunning and even one of our guests said it was one of the nicest weddings he's ever attended (and Arkansas people go to A LOT of formal weddings).
My husband said he went to the bar for a drink and the bar tender dapped him up and congratulated him making sure to get his drink very quickly. My MIL said the staff were quick to pick up empty plates and to refill empty water glasses. I was able to split payments since we had multiple family members contributing to our wedding cost. I could go on and on but our experience was an absolute dream. I'm so thankful for Wrightsville Manor and their staff. -

Sarah Sent on 08/16/2024Stunning Venue!
Book Wrightsville Manor for your wedding! Couldn’t recommend enough! The venue is beautiful. From the outside spaces and greenery to the inside bar and reception space, all so pretty. The gardens and greenery are so stunning! We are so happy we chose Wrightsville Manor for our wedding. I wanted a venue that was beautiful from the start, I wanted to have simple and minimal decor and a space that fit my style. The manor did just that!
The location is perfect! It is tucked away off the main road but so close to everything. It was perfect staying on Wrightsville Beach and easily getting to and from the venue. Our guests loved it!
Erin was great at providing information and quick to respond to my emails. They are very organized with contracts and payments. She was accommodating with requests. We were from out of state and had no trouble with communication and visits. Also the bar staff were amazing! Great at their job, quick, and so friendly, had such great energy all night. Our wedding day was the most perfect day at Wrightsville Manor! -

Chloe Sent on 06/24/2024Beautiful Venue, Great Staff
Our wedding day at Wrightsville Manor looked like something out of a fairy tale. Not only are the grounds absolutely stunning, but the venue offers multiple spaces to seamlessly transition from one event of the day to the next. We loved the flexibility to have our ceremony under the huge oak tree, cocktail hour at the fountain lawn, and our dinner and reception inside the venue itself. I had a blast getting ready with my bridesmaids in the bridal suite on site.
Erin was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive to our emails and specific requests or questions that we had. We wanted there to be non-alcoholic choices available at the bar for our guests and she was very accommodating in our request. The staff at Wrightsville Manor are very kind and respectful. Special shout out to the bartenders who were awesome! We loved our wedding at Wrightsville Manor and would not change anything about it. -

My husband and I got married at Wrightsville Manor on 05/27/24 and had the best day of our lives.
Let's start from the beginning - we booked the venue sight unseen based off of the many positive reviews. We later went to view the venue in person for planning purposes and were ecstatic about our choice. The entire venue SPARKLES - it's so clean, so gorgeous and pristine. You cannot tell that many weddings are held here every year. It is kept in absolutely perfect shape. All of our guests were in love with the venue too. We got married outside under the Live Oak and I am telling you right now - it was magical. The lighting, the energy of the "secret garden" was perfection. My wedding day exceeded even my own expectations.
Erin was so wonderful to work with! She was always professional, kind and helpful. She answered all of our questions and was very organized. The bartenders that day were SO fun and on top of it. Our guests were very well taken care of and we couldn't be more grateful. Our wedding day was so perfect!!
So happy we got married here. -

Jessie Sent on 05/30/2024Most Gorgeous Venue in Wilmington!!!
My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to get married at Wrightsville Manor. The first time we viewed the venue it was pouring rain, but it was still gorgeous and we fell in love with it right away. They keep the grounds up beautifully year round. It has the perfect mix of tropical (palm trees) with a little bit of southern (Spanish moss). We loved how there are separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. All of our family and friends traveled from out of town and they were blown away by how stunning it was. We did minimal decorations and honestly that’s all you need because the venue is so beautiful by itself. We communicated with Erin through the whole process and she always responded right away with any questions we had and was always friendly. If you’re getting married in Wilmington, put this venue at the top of your list! -

Wrightsville Manor is literally the most magical venue. It is gorgeous in every way, from the ceremony area to the reception area inside. All the pictures turn out amazing because of the beautiful backdrop of the venue. Guests had nothing but great things to say about the beauty of the venue. Erin is amazing to work with. She is responsive, helpful, and happy to answer any questions or concerns. Wrightsville made all my little girl dreams come true. It was truly the most perfect wedding day! Would absolutely recommend this venue. -

Gabrielle Sent on 04/10/2024Absolutely Perfect! We Love Wrightsville Manor!
My now husband and I are not quite sure how much more beautiful and perfect Wrightsville Manor can get! We recently were married here and could not have asked for anything more fabulous!
We loved their entire team and the communication / direction they consistently provided, as well as how well kept the entirety of the grounds were! We were able to host our ceremony outside, and it was the best location.
They were willing to go above and beyond for us, and we will forever be grateful to them for hosting our special day!
An incredibly special shout out to Erin (the GM), as she made the booking and planning process efficient and effective!
We highly recommend hosting your event here!! -

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue, which we used for our wedding. Not only is it so stunning that you can save so much money on decor because the place speaks for itself, but there is a magical quality right when you walk on the property. My wedding theme was romance and boy did Wrightsville Manor provide the perfect backdrop. The fountain, the patio, the twinkly lights, the brickwork, the vines… it was a dream. The more logistical reasons that this venue became our top choice was that it allows you to have your ceremony, your cocktail hour, and your reception all in one location with each section of the event being equally stunning. The open bar package was one of the more affordable options I’ve seen, and they had many different ways to customize or save. There are hotels and restaurants all around the venue and not to mention the beach/bars a short drive down the street. Choosing this venue and our planner (Belle Ame Events) were the two best decisions we made, and I credit both in making March 10, 2024 the best day of my life by.

When planning our wedding, my only true non-negotiable was our venue. We had Wrightsville Manor booked within a week of getting engaged, and it has been the best decision we have ever made. Included in the venue are the tables, chairs, and décor on the bar! The venue itself was so beautiful we did not feel the need to go overboard with decorating. All of our guests were so amazed by the property and how beautiful everything was!
The staff that worked for Wrightsville Manor were so professional and communicated so well with us. The bar was great and we had the best time!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful venue, we could not have imagined a more beautiful day! -
