Located in the heart of historic Beaufort-by-the-Sea, a charming and picturesque coastal North Carolina seaport, the Beaufort Historic Site offers a spacious outdoor venue in which to hold your wedding ceremony or reception! The Beaufort Historic Site transports guests back in time, offering not only the perfect setting for your celebration, but also tours and activities for guests of all ages. The two-acre site provides a beautiful backdrop for your celebration, whether under the shade of the magnolia trees or classic white tents, or inside the the Carteret County Courthouse c. 1796, which has recently been restored in award-winning detail. A popular extra for those holding their wedding on the North Carolina coast is the Beaufort Historic Site’s vintage red English double decker bus. Gather your wedding party and other guests for a special tour of the town atop our bus which can carry up to 70 people!

For smaller weddings, we have a Pollinator Garden behind John C Manson House (c1825), a sweet little area that holds approximately 100 people.
