## A Coastal Wedding Venue Between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach

For generations, families have spent their summers visiting the beaches along the shoreline from Wilmington to Myrtle Beach. When you choose a destination wedding venue here, your guests aren’t traveling somewhere unfamiliar; many of them are coming back to a place they already love. Slate & Cypress sits in [Calabash](https://www.townofcalabash.net/) , a picturesque fishing village known for its Calabash-style seafood, on more than five acres of private coastal estate surrounded by beaches, golf courses, restaurants and shopping.

That makes it easy to turn your celebration into a destination experience. Guests can spend the morning on the sand at Sunset Beach or Ocean Isle Beach, play a round at one of the many nearby golf courses, or explore the Riverwalk and historic district in [downtown Wilmington](https://www.wilmingtonandbeaches.com/) . Those looking for even more entertainment can head south to the boardwalk and shops of [Myrtle Beach](https://www.visitmyrtlebeach.com/) .

As a coastal wedding venue, we pair a relaxed beach-town setting with the polish of a luxury estate: manicured gardens, a lighted Topiary Tree Orchard with a large fountain, courtyard gardens with smokeless fire tables, and a climate-controlled Venue Hall for the days when the coastal weather has other plans. It is a destination wedding venue designed so your guests can settle in and enjoy themselves from the moment they arrive.

## Getting to Our Destination Wedding Venue

Most guests fly into Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) or Wilmington International Airport (ILM), the two nearest airports, and both are an easy drive from the Estate. Guests driving in will find us a short drive from US-17, close to the North Carolina and South Carolina state line.

Lodging is a big part of what makes a destination wedding venue work, and being on the coast gives your guests plenty of good choices. Your closest people can stay right on the property in the Estate Cottage, a private 3,500-square-foot, four-bedroom residence with its own swimming pool that sleeps up to 12 adults. Our guide to choosing a [wedding venue with lodging](https://slateandcypress.com/wedding-venue-with-lodging-calabash-nc/) walks through how couples plan a stay on the Estate. There are a multitude of area accommodations to choose from, including beach houses, vacation rentals, golf resorts, hotels and small inns in Calabash, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach and the surrounding coast.

Our team also offers travel, lodging and transportation assistance, drawing on years of relationships in the local hospitality industry, so your guests have help planning their trip. Whether guests are driving down from [Wilmington](https://slateandcypress.com/areas-we-serve/wilmington-nc/) or flying in from out of state, they get the same hands-on support.

Olga and Andrew made our dreams come true. They worked tirelessly to make sure everything that was important to us was brought to life on our wedding day. We got married there about one month ago and our guests are STILL calling us to talk about how amazing the wedding day experience was from their perspective. They all felt so welcome and important and that was our main goal. As the bride??? It was AMAZING. Every need was taken care of. Olga was the best planner and day of coordinator we could have asked for. It was the smoothest, easiest process. Looking back we are SO thankful to have booked this venue and all the benefits that came with an all-inclusive wedding venue. If you're on the fence, BOOK THEM. they're worth it. And to mention? It's gorgeous and we have the MOST beautiful photos that we will cherish for our entire lives. Book them.

We recently got married at Slate and Cypress, and we had the best experience from the moment we met Olga and Andrew until we said goodbye at the end of our wedding. From the very beginning, we knew they genuinely care about the couples who get married at their venue. When we first toured the venue, Olga and Andrew sat with us for 2 hours and answered all of our questions. At that point, we hadn't signed any contracts or made any commitments, and they still invested all that time in us. You are not just getting a venue; you are getting a planner who knows it inside and out. I don't know how I could have planned my wedding without Olga. She is organized and proactive. Olga did a great job of supporting my ideas and creating the wedding I envisioned. We always looked forward to our meetings with her. Their in-house services were awesome. The event staff was professional and accommodating to our guests. DJ Johnny is amazing! He brought great energy to our wedding and kept everyone on the dance floor. Chef Joe is incredible!!! We heard "best wedding food ever" from several different guests at our wedding! It can be hard to know which outside vendors to choose for your wedding, so their shortlist of recommended vendors was helpful, and everyone we chose was wonderful! We knew if someone had Olga and Andrew's approval, then they must be talented and professional! We planned for our wedding ceremony to be outdoors, but due to the weather, that wasn't possible. We still had the most beautiful ceremony, and I was in awe of how Olga, Andrew, and their team created such a beautiful space for us. It honestly turned out even better than I had imagined. They then flipped it to our reception area in record time without impacting our guests' experience. We will forever be grateful that we chose Slate and Cypress as our wedding venue.

We had the most perfect wedding ever at slate and cypress. Olga is an angel from heaven. She was on her hands and knees and worked incredibly hard the entire night. The venue is worth it just for Olga alone. The space is beautiful. Our guests had the most amazing time and were so impressed by the beauty of the venue and by Olga’s attention to literally everything and anything. The wedding was absolutely PERFECT and if we had to do it all over again we 100% would still choose slate & cypress. Have your wedding here!!!!!! Andrew & Olga won’t let you regret it and we’re eternally grateful.

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue than Slate & Cypress! For starters, it is gorgeous! From start to finish, having an all-inclusive venue made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. Olga & Andrew were so kind, accommodating, and incredibly easy to work with, which made our wedding experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious! Chef Joe did an amazing job, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how good everything was. It was definitely a highlight of the night! And our reception was SO much fun thanks to DJ Johnny! He kept the dance floor packed all night and really knew how to keep the energy going. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! We are so grateful to the entire Slate & Cypress team for helping make our wedding day so perfect. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free, all-inclusive wedding experience!

My husband and I got married at Slate & Cypress on June 6th, 2026, and it was truly the most beautiful day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and it was the perfect place for our wedding. Our guests kept telling us how perfect the venue was and how much they loved it. Olga was incredible and kept everything running so smoothly the entire day. We had no incidents or stressful moments, which I honestly did not think was possible on a wedding day. She made everything feel organized and seamless. All of the vendors Slate & Cypress works with were amazing, and it really shows that they care about creating the best experience for their couples. The entire team was kind, helpful, and professional from start to finish. I know some reviews mention that Andrew can be a lot at times, but from our experience, it is very clear that everything he does comes from how much he truly loves the venue and wants every wedding there to be beautiful and successful. We are so grateful we chose Slate & Cypress for our wedding and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team behind it.

We had our wedding at Slate and Cypress in April I have to say it was the most spectacular day! Everything went off without a hitch! Olga and Andrew from start to finish were great to work with and managed all the day off coordination. Major hats off to Olga, we had our date booked for almost two years and she was so helpful and organized with all the planning. It also made the planning a lot easier to have a list of recommended vendors especially coming from out of state. All together 10/10 experience! Highly recommend

I honestly can't put into words how grateful I am to Slate & Cypress, Andrew, and Olga for making our wedding day absolutely the best. From the very beginning, Olga thought of every last detail and executed everything flawlessly. She made the entire planning process feel organized, seamless, and stress-free. As someone who tends to think through every possible scenario, I can honestly say I never had a single worry the entire event because I knew everything was in such capable hands. The event staff was incredible. They were gracious, friendly, fun, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived until the end of the night, we felt so well taken care of. Our guests are still talking about the wedding weeks later. They continue to rave about the flowers, the food and drinks, the DJ, and how beautiful everything was. Every vendor recommendation was outstanding, and the entire day flowed effortlessly. What makes this review even more meaningful is that I was never the person who dreamed about having a wedding. But Slate & Cypress completely changed my perspective. They created the most beautiful, memorable, joyful day for us - one that exceeded every expectation I never knew I had. If you're considering Slate & Cypress for your wedding, do it. You will be cared for, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. Thank you, Andrew and Olga, for giving us a day we'll cherish forever.

## Destination Wedding Venue FAQs

### Why choose a destination wedding venue on the Carolina coast?

Your guests get a vacation along with your wedding. The coast around Calabash has beaches, golf, fresh seafood and plenty of places to stay, and many families already know it well. That makes the trip an easy yes for the people you love, and a destination wedding venue with everything on site keeps the planning simple for you.

### How many guests can Slate & Cypress host?

Up to 180 seated guests in the Venue Hall. As a coastal wedding venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces, the gardens, courtyards and Bar and Bistro Patio give you room to spread out for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Smaller celebrations and micro-weddings are welcome, too.

### What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

Every coastal wedding venue needs a weather plan. Your ceremony and reception can be held outdoors in the gardens, courtyards or Topiary Tree Orchard. If the weather turns, our staff will do a full room flip of the climate-controlled Venue Hall so it’s ready as an indoor backup and the celebration keeps going.

### Can our wedding party stay at the venue?

Yes. The Estate Cottage sleeps up to 12 adults and comes with the Weekend Stay Package, one of our all-inclusive wedding packages. Your closest people can get ready, relax and celebrate without ever leaving our destination wedding venue.

### Where will the rest of our guests stay?

Beach houses, vacation rentals, hotels and inns are close to our destination wedding venue in Calabash, Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach. Our team offers travel and lodging assistance, and our Destination page lists local favorites.

### Can we tour the Estate before booking?

Yes. We would love to show you the Venue Hall, gardens and Bar and Bistro Patio in person. Contact our team to schedule a pre-tour phone call so that we can personally answer all of your questions and learn more about your vision for your celebration at our destination wedding venue.
