If you are not familiar with Oak Island/Southport and want to avoid a long drive home from the wedding, we suggest you stay in or near downtown Wilmington. You will be 15 to 20 minutes away from our venue and you’re in a perfect location for exploring downtown. We have suggested 7 hotels in that area on the travel page.
You have many options when visiting the costal Carolinas! Wrightsville beach is very close to Wilmington if you want to make a quick trip. Otherwise we suggest coming down to Oak Island for a day trip! The beaches are wonderful and there’s much to do on the island.
We suggest Charlotte to Wilmington. Raleigh will be a 2 hour drive to and from your final destination.
We are asking for no photography or phones during the ceremony. We will have a photographer present and will share all of the ceremony pictures with you after the wedding.
