The bridal planner for Wilmington and the beaches of Southeastern North Carolina

 
 
Downtown, beaches & valet parking
A solution for congested traffic in high-density areas
 
Return to articles index | Limousines and transportation | Traffic considerations
 

   There are two huge reasons why Wilmington is such a popular wedding destination: the nearby beaches, and the charms of historic downtown and the Cape Fear River.
    These attractions are also hugely popular with locals and tourists who want to be there, too. As in any place where real estate is scarce and pricey, so is parking.
    Downtown Wilmington has three public parking decks, as well as a number of off-street parking lots. The first hour in the public decks is free; it's a dollar an hour after that. Most lots charge a flat rate..
    A parking ticket downtown costs $15.
    Expect to pay, through meters or pay stations, for parking at Wrightsville Beach ($2 an hour) and Carolina Beach ($1 an hour.) At Wrightsville Beach, Lanier Parking sells parking permits for special events. These pay for up to a full day's parking for $8, but do not guarantee you a space. Call 256-5453 for details. You can also get an all-day pass by paying $8 at a pay station.

   Valet parking
    If your wedding or reception are planned for places where parking is limited or inconvenient, you can help get your guests to and from their cars -- or you can get their cars to and from your guests.
    A valet parking service ensures that everybody can get right to the door and not have to worry about waiting for a shuttle service at a remote parking site.
    It's also a luxurious touch that's quite affordable compared to other transportation services.
    Depending on the location, the cars may be placed in public parking spaces or on privately owned lots.
    A valet service should be able to show you insurance policies that cover their drivers and your guests' vehicles.
