Brittanne M. 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!!!!! -

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! -

I cannot sing the praises of Erin and her group at Wrightsville manor enough! From their communication and professionalism to the beauty of the venue! I’m still getting told how beautiful this location was weeks after our wedding! I would recommend this venue to anyone as much as I would want to keep this gem for myself! -

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. -

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! -

The best day ever!
What an incredible day! I’ve dreamt about getting married at the Wrightsville Manor since I was 16 years old…8 years late and my dream finally came true! Not only was the venue beautiful, but the staff and vendors truly do everything in their power to make planning seamless and make you feel special! Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how amazing everything was…we wouldn’t change a thing! -

Chloe D. 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 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! -

Fantastic Venue for Indo-Western Fusion wedding
My husband and I were married at Wrightsville Manor on May 31st in an Indo-western fusion ceremony and we could not have picked a better venue! The communication from my initial inquiry to the day of the wedding was incredible with both Erin and Chrissy! The actual venue itself was beautiful, with impeccable landscaping outside that created the perfect canvas for our wedding day. The venue offered a great space for my husband to have his Baraat (Groom's entrance) which was something that was important to us. We also really appreciated how the team worked with us on our wine selections for the bar and gave us additional options to choose from. Overall we could not have imagined a better day and venue for our wedding and highly recommend Wrightsville Manor! -

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. -

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! -

Gabrielle R. 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!! -

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. -

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.

You cannot find a more beautiful venue than Wrightsville Manor. Erin was so helpful with any questions I had and our wedding day was a true fairytale.

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! -

Wedding of our dreams!
As soon as we saw Wrightsville Manor, we knew we wanted to get married here! The venue is even more stunning and picture perfect in person. Erin was SO helpful throughout the entire planning process and ensured that our wedding day went as smooth as possible, and was extremely helpful with things after the wedding occurred as well. There is so much that is included with the price and feel like the venue is well worth what we paid for it! We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue and their experience and we have Wrightsville to thank for the most perfect wedding day! -

If you're reading these reviews, there's a good chance you're considering booking with Wrightsville Manor. Let me cut straight to the chase: book with them immediately and you will not regret it, trust me!
There are so many things I could say, but I'll start off by saying that outside of just how dreamy this venue is on the inside and outside (I mean, just look at the pictures!), Erin and the whole Wrightsville Manor team are seriously some of the best people to work with. They're so responsive, accommodating, and resourceful. They're also just SO nice and made the whole planning process from start to finish so seamless.
One of the main reasons we booked this venue, outside of it being in a pristine location in Wilmington and IMO being the prettiest venue in North Carolina :), is because the inside was just as beautiful as the outside. With the North Carolina weather as unpredictable as it is, it was important for us to have a solid rain plan in the event we needed to get married inside. It is SO rare that venues are equally beautiful inside as they are outside, but Wrightsville Manor thought of every single detail in designing this space, that the thought of getting married inside was just as good as getting married outside.
All of our guests could not believe how gorgeous the venue was, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way when we saw it all come together. My only wish is that we could do it all over again because it was the best day of our lives!!
Thank you to all of the Wrightsville Manor staff for making the day go off without a hitch, being such a dream to work with, and maintaining such a beautiful venue. We're so thankful we were able to get married there! -
