Once an afterthought
compared to the nearby beaches, downtown Wilmington and the Cape Fear River have now come
into their own as a destination for weddings.
The central business district and nearby residential Historic District
are famous for their distinctive architecture. This includes a dozen magnificent old churches
within a few blocks of the river.
The Riverwalk, a popular promenade, runs more than a mile connecting
several popular party spots and tour boat docks. Also close by are numerous restaurants, inns,
private clubs and other venues that cater to wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. Other
amenities within strolling distance are florists and salons.
The short distances make it practical for newlyweds to travel around
downtown in unconventional means such as horsedrawn carriage or even pedicabs.
