Flight

Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)

RDU offers more flight options and is usually more affordable. It’s about a 2-hour drive to New Bern, but gives you the chance to explore Raleigh or Durham before the wedding.

Flight

Costal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN-New Bern)

Flying directly into New Bern (EWN) is the most convenient option, just minutes from the venue. While flights may be a bit more expensive, you’ll skip the long drive and be close to all the pre-wedding gatherings and festivities in the charming, historic town.
