As you enter through the black stately gates and continue past the regal Italian Cypresses guarding the brick walls, you will follow the long, secluded slate driveway to…Slate & Cypress Weddings and Estate.

Slate & Cypress Weddings and Estate is sophisticated elegance with a free spirit. Located in the picturesque North Carolina town of Calabash and just a stone’s throw from the beach, we are your full-service wedding Estate. Our Venue Hall is the perfect indoor event space for you, set amongst the quality and craftsmanship inspired by Tuscany’s distinguished Mediterranean landscape. Soaring ceilings, creamy colored brick, clean silver metals, and an abundance of natural light bathes the interior with sunlight, courtesy of numerous large glass windows. Our Venue Hall boasts a breathtaking natural beauty that provides a truly magical atmosphere for your wedding.

The Venue Hall is an elegant winery-inspired 4,800 s.f. fully climate-controlled indoor ballroom boasting a 25-foot tall exposed wood rafter ceiling. Bathe in the soft glow of the stunning chandeliers, the beautiful white-washed wood siding, the exposed brick walls, royal indoor brick and glass bar with stunning post-modern chandelier, and the grand custom wood posts and beams, or just soak in the abundance of natural light that pours in from the many glass windows. This unique blend of provincial wine house and clean urban style is what makes the Venue Hall so special. Accommodates up to 200 seated guests.

Brides and beautiful people alike: come pull up a stool and slide into our custom made white-washed ambrosia 9′ beauty bar. Our Vanity Suite is elegantly dressed with tall 10′ ceilings, imperial glass-paneled 8′ French sliding doors, chic chandelier, large mirrors, exposed cream-colored brick wall, tons of natural light, and more! Classic elegance is the best way to describe the highly-appointed black and white finishings in the exquisitely designed indoor men’s and women’s restrooms. Fully ADA accessible. Caterers and food junkies will be over-joyed at our fully-equipped and spacious Catering Kitchen, furnished with stainless appliances, large cutting block, large commercial refrigerator, restaurant grade ice machine, and flexible counter space.

Our expansive outdoor garden venue areas include both covered and open spaces. Choose from one of our many manicured lawn spaces, lighted Topiary Tree Orchard with large Tuscan water fountain, or perhaps you prefer one of our two Courtyard Garden spaces for gathering around smokeless fire pits or getting married under our custom 17-foot tall Old European garden arbor. Our Heritage Tobacco House Bar & Bistro Patio is a truly unique experience, and the best of both indoor and outdoor, offering shelter from the hot sun and damp skies while enjoying all that being outdoors offers.
