Hey guys...my name is Ray and along with Chris and KJ, it would be our pleasure to host your wedding at The Warehouse1856. I have been a wedding photographer since 2000 and this is the fourth venue I have been a part of. Previous venues were The RiverRoom and The Loft on Front and Belle Vue Wilmington. Having owned a few smaller wedding venues I saw the need for something larger, different and unique. The vision is simple, to make it over the top, beautiful, and as we all know: Location is everything! Welcome to Warehouse 1856! We are perfect for larger events (seating about 150 and cocktail over 250). With so many weddings in the New Hanover area, especially downtown, we knew opening up a large venue is exactly what was needed. My passion for events, weddings and hosting parties speaks for itself. I believe community over competition in this industry and you will find we are a very tight knit group of wedding professionals with our brides best interest in mind. With so many options for wedding venues you are sure to find the perfect spot that will make your wedding day flawless.
One of the premier entertainment venues in town and also the major performing arts space of the University of North Carolina, Sarah Graham Kenan Auditorium or just Kenan Auditorium brings a variety of acts to a diverse audience. Their eclectic program includes ballet, musicals, concerts, orchestra and theater. With more than 170 events a year, their schedule is indeed an exciting one for culture enthusiasts.
The Atrium
We are excited to announce that The Atrium has started accepting new bookings until the end of June 2020! Please inquire if you would like to be added to our waiting list for dates beyond June 2020. Visit the "Tour" tab at AtriumWilmington.com if you'd like to schedule a 30-minute tour with The Atrium Coordinator, Laura Horton. She'll be happy to guide you through The Atrium, answer your questions and discuss Day-of event coordinating services. We look forward to meeting you!
Belle Vue Wilmington is the perfect space for every event. With about 2000 square feet it is ideal for small intimate parties of 80 or less. Our new glistening chandeliers and the original exposed brick walls and the warm rustic flooring dating back from 1920's. This modern and historic contrast will leave you feeling nostalgic. Photographers love this venue because the sun pours in from the windows and illuminates the space with natural light to capture the most important moments. This makes it the perfect location for hair and make up as well as first looks and family portraits. If you are looking for a space to host an event, the space is private and cozy appealing to all of your guests. Free on street parking and since we moved from Front and Princes... NO MORE STAIRS! We can offer assistance finding the best vendors in Wilmington because we are a part of multiple vendor networks in town. Belle Vue Wilmington 1125 North 4th Street in the Brooklyn Arts District
