Outer Banks Weddings

Why not celebrate in style? Tie the knot or host your next special event at a waterfront paradise.

Momentous occasions are always made more special by memorable locations—and the Outer Banks offers just that. Beautiful sandy beaches framed by dunes and beach grass, turquoise waters dotted with white sailboats and passing fishing charters, and a wide variety of accommodations perfect for any size function create the ideal setting for any special event.

Of course, weddings are the most popular celebrations here on this scenic sandy strip. Brides from around the country come here to tie the knot with the beach as their chapel and the seagulls as their witnesses. Beach weddings have become increasingly popular, and can range from flip-flop casual to train-and-veil formal. But what they all have in common is a beautiful ceremony that no one will soon forget.

Here are our top five reasons to have your celebration on the Outer Banks, whether it is a wedding, reunion or anniversary:
