The Southport Building

Great location, Betsey the property manager is so sweet and friendly. Place books up several months out, so book early.

I recommend hiring a lighting effects company (for night weddings), a lot of floral arrangements, or showy centerpieces to help give your eye a focal point in the main room. I also recommend a showy table linen since the windows do not have treatments and the room needs a nice fabric to make it feel complete. (I don’t think a plain polyester linen provides enough pop) The room will really come together with these touches because it is a spacious room with very high ceilings, a very neutral wall color, very simple architecture and hung decor is prohibited.

The room has beautiful hardwood floors and lots of windows overlooking the cape fear inlet. Its rental comes complete with tables and chairs so you wont have add these to your rental costs.

This is a great place for brides on a budget or if just wanting a scenic coastal wedding indoors and without the sand.
