A Storybook Setting for Your Special Day

Our romantic Southport wedding venue is designed to create an intimate, unforgettable experience from the moment you arrive. Wander down our picturesque brick pathway and pass through the twinkling bridal gate. You’ll be greeted by a lush, oak-shaded lawn, encircled by a six-foot privacy fence wrapped in blooming vines. This enchanting outdoor space offers the ultimate backdrop for your ceremony and reception.

The Carriage House — A Coastal Treasure

The centerpiece of your celebration is our lovingly restored carriage house, preserving its original 1930s doors and historic charm. Inside, your guests can enjoy a full-service bar, cozy seating, and an indoor fireplace crafted from the inn’s original blacksmith forge.

Step onto our welcoming patio, where market lights twinkle overhead. Gather around the outdoor gas fireplace, relax on the lighted seating wall, or snap photos under vine-covered trellises. Our patio can even be tented to ensure your celebration shines, rain or shine.
