Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Claire Brownlow and Javier Flores
Wilmington is Claire's hometown and Javier's graduate school alma mater (twice a Seahawk!). We met in Wilmington in May 2021 and spent our first of dating here before taking our relationship out west. We recently moved back to Wilmington and are thrilled for our next chapter here. We can't wait for you to see what makes Wilmington so special to us, and we encourage you to explore while you're in town. The rehearsal dinner and welcome gathering will be at Claire's childhood home closer to downtown, and the ceremony and reception will be near/on Wrightsville Beach!

Airlie Gardens

300 Airlie Road, Wilmington, NC 28403

If you're looking for live oak trees and classic outdoor scenery near the waterway, walk through Airlie Gardens. After paying a small fee to enter, the gardens offer walking trails and scenic views. Our wedding ceremony will take place at the historic Episcopal chapel, Lebanon Chapel, on the garden grounds.

Mad Mole Brewing

6309 Boathouse Road, Wilmington, NC 28403

As our neighborhood brewery, this is our favorite spot for an evening bev and a guaranteed tasty food truck! Clark loves the treats behind the bar.

Wrightsville Beach Brewery

6201 Oleander Drive, Wilmington, NC 28403

A great spot for dinner, live music, and a patio beer under a classic southeast live oak- we recommend the sweet heat pizza, fried oyster bites, and tropical lightening IPA.

South End

Wrightsville Beach, NC

One of our favorite places to walk Clark- especially at sunset. Fortunately, the wedding weekend is outside of WB's "dog free" window so pets are allowed on the beach! This is a great spot to enjoy ocean and marsh views.

SUNdays

708 B South Lumina Avenue, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480

A great spot to grab a coffee by the water if you're staying on or near the beach!

Flytrap Brewing

319 Walnut Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

In downtown Wilmington, this was the location of our (official) first date. We love their open outdoor seating and variety of food trucks. We were recently told that they host a pumpkin patch through the month of October and will have a movie playing on Friday night!

Satellite Bar and Lounge

120 Greenfield Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Part two of our first date and a great spot to hang outside with a group!

Carolina Beach State Park

1010 State Park Road, Carolina Beach, NC 28428

Our go-to outdoor recreation spot on a Saturday or Sunday morning- the dog-friendly Carolina Beach State Park features a great network of trails and Venus Flytraps!

Moe's Original BBQ

5818 Oleander Drive, Wilmington, NC 28403

Looking for a taste of Eastern NC BBQ while in town? Moe's is located close to the wedding day events
