Things To Do
Wrightsville Beach
Wrightsville Beach is truly the most magical place on earth—at least we think so! The view as you drive over the bridge is absolutely breathtaking, with sparkling water that always makes us feel like we're home. Walking the loop might be the best way to start your morning.
Indochine Restaurant
Indochine is where Richie and I had our very first date, so it holds a special place in our hearts! It's one of the best dinner spots in Wilmington, trust us on this one. The Thai-Vietnamese fusion is incredible. Our favorites are the curry, pad Thai, and the coconut cake!
Beach Bagels & Subs
Do yourself a favor and grab Beach Bagels at least once during your stay. It’s a local gem and seriously worth the hype (yes, even if there’s a line in the morning—trust us, it moves fast and it’s so worth it). Mamie’s go-to is The Beast and Richie swears by the José. You really can’t go wrong. There's also a location on 5906 Oleander Dr.
Adapt Kitchen and Juice Bar
Adapt Kitchen & Juice Bar is our favorite stop for fresh smoothies, poke bowls, and a refreshing boost—perfect for a quick, healthy bite near the beach!
Wilmington Brewing Company
Wilmington Brewing Company is home to the infamous Tropical Lightning, a crisp and fruity IPA that we’re excited to serve at our wedding! It’s a local favorite and a must-try for beer lovers.
Seabird
Seabird is our go-to for amazing seafood and hands down the best oysters in Wilmington. Their Saturday brunch is also underrated—the sweet potato latte and fried chicken sandwich are a must-try!
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the perfect spot for craft cocktails and live music. The Cedar Smoked Old Fashioned is a must-try!
Satellite Bar and Lounge
Satellite Bar and Lounge is a laid-back, neighborhood favorite in Wilmington’s Cargo District. On Sunday nights, they host a lively Bluegrass Jam starting at 6:30 PM, featuring local musicians. If you're sticking around after the wedding, don’t miss their Sunday Bluegrass Jam—it's the perfect way to keep the fun going!
Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge
Kilwins Wilmington is the perfect spot for a sweet treat, offering everything from fudge to delicious ice cream. Grab a cone and take a stroll down the Riverwalk for a relaxing post-wedding treat or a fun afternoon in downtown!
