From the reviews
WOW…it is truly hard to put into words how grateful we are that we found Haven on the Banks when searching for a place to have our wedding. This place could not have been any more perfect for our friends and family and it exceeded expectations.
Wow! Tara & Gerry have truly thought through every last detail when they created this venue. The entire place is completely magical. I don't even know where to start, except by saying thank you, for helping us stay grounded as we planned a wedding amidst a pandemic.
We held our wedding reception at Haven on the banks 9/12/2020 and it was the most perfect weekend! Tara was a dream to work with, she responded quickly and accurately to all of my questions, and there were many being that I was the bride! The houses were immaculate, fully stocked and set up perfectly.
I attended my friend's wedding here and stayed in house 1. Overall great experience, the houses are well outfitted and so convenient to the venue. Each house also has a hot tub. If you're expecting a bug free experience, you have never been to NC. Staff was very responsive to issues like broken televisions or internet.
Getting married at Haven on the Banks
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
