While primarily a wedding and event venue, this Havelock property features beautiful outdoor grounds that may occasionally host family-friendly community events. However, families should note this is a private event space rather than a public park, so access is typically limited to scheduled events and bookings rather than drop-in visits.
Only visit during scheduled public events or if you've booked the venue for a private celebration. Operating hours are 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily, but access is by appointment or event invitation only.
This is a private wedding and event venue, not a public recreational space. Contact the venue directly to inquire about availability, pricing for events, or any public access opportunities. Amenities and access vary based on event bookings.
Outdoor events are weather-dependent. Spring and fall likely offer the most comfortable conditions for outdoor celebrations in coastal North Carolina. Contact venue for seasonal availability.
