If you are visiting the area for the weekend, downtown Wilmington is located about 50 minutes away and has plenty to offer in terms of restaurants, bars/breweries, shopping, and the well-known Wilmington Riverwalk -- perfect if you are interested in a day trip getaway on Friday or Sunday of wedding weekend!
A favorite local destination for us both growing up. Located about 30 miles away from the wedding venue is Onslow County's original agri-tourism farm complete with farm tours, seasonal hayrides, a delicious southern inspired restaurant, and gift shop and bakery.
