The event, food and atmosphere was incredible

128 South was perfect for our wedding of about 90 people! It's already a beautiful venue so it doesn't require much to dress it up. Everyone we worked with was always very friendly, responsive, and flexible with any request that we made. And the food was fantastic! The only thing to bear in mind during planning is that the outdoor deck is not ADA accessible, so have a plan if you have guests with mobility challenges. Can't say enough nice things, would definitely recommend them! More...

Excellent staff, highly professional and incredibly caring - they made our daughter's wedding everything we could hope for and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding and want to have the utmost confidence in their choice of venues.

I'm not even sure where to start about our great experience with 128 South. We booked them initially because of the beauty of the venue. Its historic elements and vibes were exactly what we wanted and minimized the amount of decorations we needed to add. They were even more beautiful in the evening during our reception seeing the sun come through the windows and shine off the stained glass. We also loved that 128 South does its own catering. While some people may not prefer this, it was perfect for us because we didn't have to worry about reaching out to other caterers (yay, less wedding stress), AND the food was AMAZING!! Y'all, seriously I just want to eat there regularly it was so good. Katie and Jordan, our coordinators at 128, were extremely helpful and there whenever we needed them whether through phone or email, for questions and concerns big or small. And perhaps the best part was that on the wedding day I didn't have to worry about a thing. Literally, they had it all handled, and their impeccable planning of the flow and prep for the day were seamless. Everyone told me before the wedding "something will go wrong-big or small-just accept it and move on", but NOTHING went wrong, and I truly believe it was because of the great team at 128 South. Couldn't have imagined a better venue or team to help us on the best day of our lives. More...

128 South was the perfect venue for our wedding. The view overlooking the riverwalk downtown made for a beautiful ceremony and beautiful pictures. The bridal cottage was perfect and so convenient for myself and my a bridal party to get ready. My wedding coordinator Katie made sure to accommodate all of our needs. She created the exact vision for my wedding. I highly recommend 128 South! More...

We were married there in August of 2019 and the facility was fantastic. The inside is beautiful and didn't need any significant decorations. The back deck view looks over the water at the battleship which made for amazing pictures. What really gets this place 5 stars is the staff and wedding coordinators. Katie was out "day of coordinator" but she set everything up from start to finish including making arrangements with florist, party supplies, catering, etc. Everything went as planned to the MINUTE. The set up beforehand was all done without us even being there. She took our ideas and made them into the exact reality. Overall this is an excellent wedding venue and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking. More...

I was there for a wedding on a Saturday and it was just wonderful. The ceremony was outside on a deck behind the building and it was very nice. There was a storm outside, but luckily they had a tent over the deck so everyone was kept dry. The dinner/reception was back inside the building and it was so beautiful, the upper story is a nice touch and Adda so much extra space for eating and table space. The dancing was back outside on the deck and it was very nice. I'm from California so the humidity was getting to me while dancing, but if you are from the area I would imagine you would be used to it. More...

I had the most wonderful experience with 128 South. I am a full time law student and truly did not have time to plan a wedding. Thank goodness for Katie. She helped me from day one, until after the wedding concluded. Actually! She helped us hike our wedding gifts up to our hotel and even the morning after the wedding helped us retrieve items we had lost on our own. 128 South makes your wedding day about you. I appreciated that most. There are so many opinions going around, and so many family members ... but never once was our day about anyone but us. The food was impeccable and the alcohol was served professionally and fast. My guests never found themselves waiting in line for a drink. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here. I can’t express how much joy our wedding brought us, and I know choosing 128 south was a huge part of what brought us that joy. More...

My husband and I had our wedding reception at 128 South on April 26th and I can't say enough kind things about this venue. We did get off to a rocky start (I don't suggest working with or touring the facility with Jill if she is still with the company) but Katie made sure to re-instill my confidence in the venue after bringing my concerns to her attention and she and Jordan went above and beyond for our wedding day. Katie was so cooperative and flexible when I was trying to coordinate a tour with my many family members who of course wanted to be involved. She was very informative but also let us have our space and time to really walk through the venue. Jordan assisted me throughout the planning process and as a Private Event Manager myself, let me just say she was on top of absolutely every little thing! She made my life so much easier during the planning process and I can't thank her enough for answering my many questions and for being so patient with me. She even helped to keep an eye on the weather forecast during the week of the wedding to help me decide on a plan of action on whether or not to rent siding for the tent that the venue provides. We scheduled phone calls so I was able to talk through things with her, and she always responded promptly to my emails. I appreciate everything she did so very much. Our guests and family are still commenting on how delicious the food was at our reception and their bartenders were awesome. The staff was incredibly helpful during setup and throughout the evening. This is the perfect venue if you want a classic look, with historic, downtown Wilmington charm and the view of the river is just the icing on the cake! More...

We LOVED our wedding at 128 South. We only had a 5 month engagement, and our coordinator (Katie from 128 South) was super responsive and helped make everything happen with ease. The venue itself is so charming. Our guest list was only 70 people and it felt like the perfect, intimate size. The brick, white banisters, stained glass, and stunning chandeliers allowed us to keep decor to a minimum. It's already beautiful!! Thanks, 128 South! More...

There is no way possible we could ever repay Katie & the 128 South team! My goodness, they were a gem to work with. As out-of-town brides, we didn't have a clue where to begin, but with Katie as our day-of-coordinator we always felt in good hands. Jordan & Katie were always so professional and also realistic with us. We never felt like we couldn't ask even the silliest of questions. Our guests raved about the food (Charleston Touch) and the service everyone was provided. We both come from a long line of personalities and the 128 South made both families feel at home. Do not miss out on the opportunity to work with these professionals. You won't regret it! More...

Hurricane Florence destroyed the original wedding venue, then we lost my son, the brides brother, with only 4 months to go till the wedding date (invitations were already sent out). We found 128 and talked with Katie (as best we could through tears), She accepted this impossible mission and took care of everything from there. The event was amazing, the venue beautiful and did I mention how amazing our wedding planner Katie was? She was picking up all the loose ends, making sure everyone was fed, happy and details were taken care of. She and her staff turned our hopes into reality. Despite all our heartache, Katie turned our chaos into a magical event. Thank you 128 and our amazing wedding planner Katie! More...

From beginning to end, 128 South was a perfect venue for my daughter's wedding. They were responsive, patient and understanding when our guest count far exceeded our estimate. The food is amazing and the fact that our daughter chose a "southern" menu did not stump them at all. The food was delicious, elegantly presented and beyond expectation. The staff is friendly and they anticipated every problem. They worked well with our planner and between the two, I never worried about one item. I felt our guests were treated to a great experience. Thank you, 128 South for making Hillary's and Andrew's big day so special. More...
