Sip, Stay, and Celebrate- A Wedding Weekend done right.

If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels more like a relaxing getaway than a jam-packed to-do list, you're in the right place. At Magnolia Manor 1843, we believe your celebration should unfold like the perfect Southern weekend — slow, meaningful, and full of charm.

Because the truth is, the best memories aren’t rushed. They’re sipped. Savored. Shared.

Sip — The Celebration Starts Early

Why wait until the ceremony to begin celebrating? From the moment you arrive at Magnolia Manor, the celebration begins. Picture a welcome toast with your closest friends on the front porch, or a signature cocktail shared under the shade of century-old magnolias. It’s these early, easy moments that help you settle in — and set the tone for a weekend filled with joy.

Our property allows you to gather your wedding party and family in one stunning location. No carpool schedules, no last-minute arrivals — just you and your people, toasting to what’s to come.

Stay — Because You Shouldn’t Have to Leave

With beautifully appointed overnight accommodations on-site, there's no need to hop from hotel to venue and back again. Magnolia Manor becomes your home for the weekend — a place to slow down, breathe in the history, and soak up every second.

Wake up with coffee in the garden. Take your time getting ready with your best friends in the dressing suites. Enjoy the quiet in between the magic. It’s more than just convenient — it’s grounding. It allows you to be present for every part of your love story.

Celebrate — A Setting as Timeless as Your Story

When it's time to celebrate, Magnolia Manor delivers in every detail. Whether you're hosting an intimate garden ceremony or a lively reception under the stars, your wedding is framed by elegance, history, and just the right amount of Southern magic.

Our distinctive Second Empire-style mansion provides a romantic backdrop with character you won’t find anywhere else. And because you’ve had time to settle in and connect, the celebration itself feels effortless — like it was always meant to unfold this way.

Located in the heart of New Bern, Magnolia Manor is walkable to the riverfront and surrounded by local restaurants, shops, and charm.

At Magnolia Manor 1843, we don’t just host events — we hold space for life’s most beautiful chapters. From the first sip to the final dance, we’re here to help you create a weekend that feels like a celebration of everything you are and everything you're becoming.
