Using vacation rentals for a wedding is a popular trend. Sea Scape Properties has several large group vacation homes suitable for a wedding. Take advantage of the property grounds for your ceremony and utilize the rooms to keep your family and loved ones close to the festivities.
Reason 3: Accessibility for out-of-town guests
You deserve to have everyone on your guest list present at your wedding to help celebrate your special day. Destination weddings take a lot of advanced planning for guests to arrange their schedules and book their trips. When considering the sacrifices your guests make to attend your wedding, everyone will appreciate anything that makes the logistics easier.
Wrightsville Beach is one of the top beach wedding destinations in North Carolina. It’s nearby several major cities—Wilmington (10 miles away), Myrtle Beach (90 miles away), Raleigh (130 miles away), and Fayetteville (100 miles away)—if any of your guests are local to the area. Guests traveling from further away can find deals on flights to Wilmington International Airport (ILM) or Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), both a short drive into town.
Reason 4: Year-round wedding destination
Love at first sight can happen at any moment and it’s always a happy surprise when your partner finally pops the question. Love has a schedule of its own, and you should have your wedding when the time is right. So, whether you’re springtime sweethearts, summer soulmates, or snowy love birds, Wrightsville Beach hosts weddings every season.
Wrightsville Beach has a mild coastal climate all year long. Warm springs average in the mid-70s for light-tone wedding outfits and fresh flower arrangements. Accessorize with fancy wedding hats and matching groom’s shades during moderate summer temperatures in the mid-80s. Warm falls average in the low 70s for adding the perfect layers to your wedding outfits. Temperate winters averaging in the 50s still give you an option for an indoor or outdoor wedding.
Reason 5: Relaxed setting fit for a wedding
Escape the hustle and bustle of a city for a getaway to one of coastal North Carolina’s tranquil beach destinations. Wrightsville Beach has a laid-back beach town atmosphere that makes relaxing easy.

You’re on the coast, so make the most of it! Organize a special dinner before the wedding on a private yacht dinner cruise with YachtSource.
