From planning and decorating to the final moments of the big day, my experience with Barn at the…read moreCovered Bridge was amazing! I loved the bridal suite! My girls and I felt pampered and relaxed in our separate and spacious area :) My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside by the pond in the beautiful green pasture, bright white fences and the covered bridge in the background- I was so excited about it! Due to weather we had to move the ceremony inside the barn. The main 'barn' space was easy to transform from a structured ceremony space to a relaxed and open reception party. Michelle Cornell was an amazing wedding coordinator- organized and kept everything on schedule and I didn't have to worry about anything on my special day! Hal was an entertaining and engaging MC- we got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful and fun our event was!

From the owner: Nestled on a large and picturesque property, this venue offers stunning views of a glistening…read morewaterfront. The lush greenery and natural surroundings provide a tranquil and romantic setting that is perfect for exchanging vows and celebrating with loved ones. One of the standout features of this venue is the magnificent barn that has been transformed into a luxurious and chic space. The interior is beautifully designed with rustic wooden beams and elegant lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The barn has ample space to accommodate a large number of guests and offers a flexible layout to suit any wedding theme or style. In addition to the barn, the property offers numerous outdoor spaces to host different parts of the wedding day, such as a waterfront ceremony, cocktail hour on the expansive lawn, and dinner under the stars.

This place is ok. We were a large party and there was some confusion with our reservation, so they…read morehad to figure a backup option for us, which turned out to be a private room. The majority of the staff were friendly and were great. The food was good, but everyone's food was undercooked. We didn't say anything because having to wait longer was not really an option with 6 young kids who were already super restless. Drinks were good and the waitress was really great at explaining the drinks and if she didn't know she would go ask the bartender. Overall not a place I'd take my kids, but good for an adults only night out.

The room was two queen beds and a small living area with small fridge and microwave!! Our daughter was able to sleep in the room while we watched tv in the living room! The only gripe I had with the room is there was no tub in the bathroom so it was a little difficult to bathe a 4 year old and they gave us a connecting room so we just put a chair in front of the door before we went to sleep! The next morning we enjoyed a free breakfast and the owner even made omeletes to order! The location is great and we will be back next time we come to Emerald Isle!!

We still cannot get over how beautiful every single detail of our wedding day was here. We had zero stress the entire day and every single guest would not stop raving about how magical this venue was! They have every detail figured out! We dropped off everything for the venue days beforehand so we wouldn't have to worry about anything the weekend of our wedding. The owner, Stephanie Watson, took it upon herself to make home-made brunch for all of the ladies when we arrived on wedding day, and we relaxed on the scenic property until it was time for hair/make-up. Pre-ceremony was so dreamy and fun, and the wedding itself was so the most amazing experience of our lives. Anything we wanted to incorporate into our wedding, this team made happen! WORTH EVERY PENNY! And your money is supporting an absolutely amazing family and group of people! Thank you to every single one of you!!! We love you guys!

Oh yeah, and there's a drive thru! My nits were that they were out of most of the things we tried to order (but luckily they had so many good options that we all chose our next favorite options), and they didn't have enough lunch menus on hand, so we were directed to their facebook page to see what we could order (even though most options weren't available).

Owner Ray Baca, has created a dream space for any event planner. The walls are original historic brick, and the furnishing is clean and modern. My favorite feature is the raw feel; this space can easily be outfitted to fit any event. The venue is also unique because of the kitchen and easy setup space for catering. You will not find another venue of this caliber with this unique setup anywhere is downtown Wilmington. The central location is also wonderful if the weddings located in downtown Wilmington. I am using this venue to host a business owner's info session. Mr. Baca has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to host other events here in the future. Tuesday night is open house if you are ever interested in dropping in to check out this beautiful event space.

The clerk at the front desk was hesitant to give me four towels and washcloths, like I was stealing from them. I will not return. Too high price wise for no maid service.
