    Things To Do

Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Kendall Larson and Brett Scibal
Historic Wilmington, dubbed the Port City, is sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. The city is home base for the collegiate football powerhouse that is the UNCW Seahawks, as well as Michael Jordan’s childhood. Walking downtown you’ll be on same streets where productions like Iron Man 3, Eastbound and Down, and The Conjuring were filmed. You’ll also be able to visit where Steve Buscemi was stabbed in 2001. Breweries are popping up on every corner alongside world class restaurants that’ll be sure to leave your thirst quenched and your belly full. If you'd like a change of scenery, three beaches are within 25 minutes of Downtown Wilmington: Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Wrightsville Beach. Our hope is that your trip is filled with equal parts relaxation and enjoyment of the city where it all began.
Blue Post Billiards

Blue Post Billiards

15 South Water Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Tucked in an alley way is the home of our engagement shoot, Blue Post Billiards, which boasts an assortment of funtivities while maintaining the dingy yet oddly charming feel of a pub. Skeeball, fooseball, air hockey, and darts all have their place within these walls. For those of us who prefer to battle computers, Blue Post also plays host to several cabinet games, such as Mortal Kombat and Big Buck Hunter. DISCLAIMER: If you come across Brett in this bar, he will beat you in fooseball. Come across Kendall-she’ll probably be turning Al Green on the Jukebox.

Satellite Bar and Lounge

Satellite Bar and Lounge

120 Greenfield Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

What Satellite lacks in games, it more than makes up for in comfort and space. Couches, bar stools, picnic tables, rocking chairs, and enough room to stretch out always made this one of our go to spots. With the restaurant Blocktaco attached, you can cure your hunger and thirst in one spot. If you’re planning on sticking around through Sunday night, come in to catch bluegrass night and be amazed at how small and tight this bar can suddenly feel. This has become a very popular event, and is where Kendall (and Maslow) once met Melissa McCarthy!

Goat & Compass

Goat & Compass

710 North 4th Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

There are dive bars, then there is the Goat-THE dive bar. The post-graduation watering hole, as it was legitimately in Brett’s backyard. The inside is small and quasi-dirty, but also littered with memories of younger days. Maslow and Chuzzlewitz frequently visited this bar as puppies and would agree if you’re missing your pups, this and Satellite could be a place to get your dog fix.

The Cotton Exchange

The Cotton Exchange

321 North Front Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

If sitting around drinking isn't how you'd like to spend your days, Wilmington has plenty of cute shops and restaurants to offer. For starters, wander down to the charming Cotton Exchange, a series of historic buildings that have been converted to shops and restaurants. There's also no shortage of shops along Market Street, and if you go up to Water Street you can enjoy a walk along the river.

The Copper Penny

The Copper Penny

109 Chestnut Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Our favorite go-to for pub food. Don't even think about opting for a side salad - go greasy.

Cape Fear Wine and Beer

Cape Fear Wine and Beer

139 N Front St, Wilmington, NC 28401

“I’m looking for an elderberry DIPA Saison Brett mead”

Kilwins Chocolates & Fudge

Kilwins Chocolates & Fudge

16 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

It may not be unique to Wilmington, but it's absolutely the best spot for ice cream. Yes, you need to go, even in the winter.

The Fork 'N' Cork

The Fork 'N' Cork

122 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Tiny, but worth the wait. If Guy Fieri liked it, you should too.

Indochine Restaurant

Indochine Restaurant

7 Wayne Drive, Wilmington, NC 28403

It's not downtown, but it's Kendall's favorite restaurant. Lunch may be your best option - weekend dinner often yields a wait time of 1-2 hours.

Flytrap Brewing

Flytrap Brewing

319 Walnut Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Right down the street from Brett's brother Craig and his wife Cameron, this small but cozy brewery has become a favorite.

Dram and Morsel

Dram and Morsel

33 South Front Street, Floor 3, Wilmington, NC 28401

Sometimes you just need a beautiful cocktail.

Tails Piano Bar

Tails Piano Bar

115 South Front Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

For if you're feeling bougie.

The Battleship

The Battleship

1 Battleship Rd NE, Wilmington, NC 28401

In case you're in need of a history fix (I'm looking at you, Lance.)

Cameron Art Museum

Cameron Art Museum

3201 South 17th Street, Wilmington, NC 28412

A change of pace and scenery for our art-appreciating folks.
