Our experienced Wedding Planners will help you navigate the multitude of decisions for your wedding ceremony, reception, and wedding party events. Designed just for you.
When we decided to have our wedding in New Bern, NC, we toured multiple venues for our ceremony location. A garden wedding was our goal, making Tryon Palace and its surrounding houses one of our first stops. After touring the many gardens available for weddings, we chose the Carraway Garden for our small ceremony.
