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!

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.

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.

We ordered the Topsail Punch, but it honestly just tasted like colored water--not enjoyable at all. We decided to stick with appetizers after realizing the menu was completely different (and much more limited) than what we saw online.

First, they stopped serving hushpuppies! WHAT. And the menu overall has changed and is just much more limited. Not many healthful options either. I ended up doing the steam pot, which was pretty good overall, but man the service was SO SLOW. The parking situation also makes no sense, it's like they don't want business unless you're staying in the hotel now, even though it wasn't very busy up there so that can't be the case. There are now signs everywhere saying you'll get towed without a Regis permit. I had parked in the main lot many times to come here, so I took a chance and asked the hostess (who was decked out in full goth gear and hair covering her entire face like a shih tzu so you couldn't tell if she was even paying attention to you) how to make sure I wouldn't be towed. She acted like she had no idea what I was talking about and shrugged and walked away. Very rude. Luckily, I didn't get towed, but would it be that hard for them to have a parking section marked for restaurant patrons or something?

The real joy was the country store that Heather Burke has put together. Everything is so tastefully assembled, homemade, and delicious. They have home brewed beer (and lots of craft selections) fresh baked cakes and pastries (including gluten free), sandwiches, salads, ice cream and a super quaint gift store. We sat in the luncheon area inside, but there were picnic tables outside as well. We missed the bluegrass festival but if we can we'd love to make the Octoberfest. I highly recommend this place for those looking for a farm to table meal, good beer, or tasteful country store excursion.

I don't know what the building is called but it is on the corner of Market and Front streets. The views are fantastic. You get great views of the river, south side of the city and east side. The views are the selling point in my opinion. The place is small. There is a small bar area along with chairs and sofas to sit on elsewhere. Live music when I was there. I didn't see any beer on tap but they do have beer. Wine and mixed drinks available, obviously. The glass of wine I got was $12. Ehh, a little steep. The elevator to the 9th floor is tiny. Four normal size people or two bigguns. You can take the stairs, and I did going up, but you better be in shape. Not sure that I would ever buy a membership here but it was fun to go once.
