Weddings in Wrightsville Beach
Your coastal wedding home base
Trailborn Surf & Sound is a reimagined beachside hotel in Wrightsville Beach. Offering all the facilities for couples who want a coastal wedding near Wilmington, NC.
Start with a ceremony in the seaside gardens, move to cocktails on the lawn, then dance the night away in our Tides Ballroom. In between, guests can wander to the beach, stroll the local promenade, or grab a drink by the water.
With versatile indoor and outdoor event venues, onsite dining and endless shoreline to explore, your wedding weekend feels more like a luxury beachside retreat than a traditional ballroom affair.

Keep your favorite people by the water
This is more than a single night—it’s a full wedding weekend on the coast. We can help you plan everything from welcome drinks and beach walks to farewell brunches and sunset toasts on the sound, so your guests never have to wonder what to do next (or where to be).
Reserve a room block just steps from the sand so your crew can keep the celebration going. For a more intimate setup, pair your celebration with The Beach House—our 13-bedroom, 15-bed home next door, perfect for wedding parties, family stays, or a home base for your closest friends.
