We got married at Slate & Cypress on October 18th, 2025, and would live in that day forever if it were possible. From the moment we visited S&C and met Andrew & Olga, it was clear that their venue was the right fit for us. The property is stunning, and any updates made during the process have only made it even more beautiful. They have created wonderful partnerships with their in-house services, which made the entire process much easier and lived up to every expectation. Not having to find a caterer or DJ for the event took a lot off our plate from the start. Working with Olga to plan the wedding itself was a wonderful experience, and she eased every concern that we had. As a bride who tends towards ‘Type A’ and gets paid to care about timelines and details, this was the most carefree I have ever been at an event. I didn’t even know what time it was the whole day because I knew Olga (& Andrew) had everything under control. If it is not clear by now, we would recommend Slate & Cypress a thousand times over.

From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Belle Vue Wilmington, we were impressed by their fantastic communication style. Ray was incredibly easy to work with, providing thorough and friendly guidance throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, his attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made the experience truly seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was simply stunning - a beautiful, intimate, and romantic space that felt so elegant and special. Ray is one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met, and he and the Belle Vue team made our wedding day a truly magical experience.
