Our area is becoming increasingly popular as the place to have a wedding. Good reasons why; the beach, less expensive, great caterers, wonderful venues, musicians, DJs, location. And, for those who can and want to…a place to extend the celebration with a vacation on the OBX.   

Many people get married right on the beach, and that is beautiful. No need for flowers or decorations, the ocean is right there. You will need a back-up plan in case of bad weather…but let’s not talk about that. 
I have attended a wedding at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island (aka Manteo) and it was beautiful.  The couple got married outside, overlooking the Roanoke Sound and then we all went inside and partied in the aquarium!  It is different at night and we could walk around and look at the exhibits as much as we wanted. It was catered and there was a DJ too…a lot of fun.
