About

On WeddingWire since 2011

Located in Beaufort, North Carolina, on the southernmost tip of the Outer Banks, our property sits directly on Taylor's Creek with views of the Rachel Carson Reserve, home to over 30 wild horses. Our full-service hotel makes for the perfect backdrop for any desired event, as our newly constructed, modern, world-class event space can accommodate groups ranging in size from 20 to 500+ guests.

Facilities and Capacity

For ceremonies, we have a wedding pavilion located at the edge of our property, directly overlooking Taylor's Creek and Carrot Island. Our pavilion comfortably holds 120 guests seated inside and over 300 guests, with the ceremony located on our lawn, using the pavilion entrance as your backdrop. We also have our West Lawn for smaller weddings, which sits directly on the water!

Couples may host up to 220 guests in our Rachel Carson Grand Ballroom located on the second floor of the main building in the Beaufort Hotel. This space also includes private indoor and outdoor function areas, great for cocktail hours, conference check-ins, satellite bars, and grand farewell exits!

Planning a smaller wedding and not in need of the entire ballroom? We can separate our ballroom into four different salons. Along with our grand ballroom, we have three other smaller event spaces- perfect for rehearsal dinners, elopements, and showers. These are our Marlin Room and adjoining Lookout Deck, Shackleford Room, and Executive Board Room.

If you are looking for an outdoor waterfront reception, our Front Lawn is the perfect location for a tent, which can accommodate 500+ guests. Your possibilities are endless at the Beaufort Hotel.

Both couples and their guests will truly enjoy such an elegant, coastal celebration that they will remember for years and years to come!

Italian Indian Wedding

The Beaufort hotel is not only a breathtakingly beautiful place to get married (rain or shine) but the staff and coordinators made everything so seamless. From the planning to the day of they were so attentive and quick to respond. On the day of the wedding the staff was so efficient and our guests raved about the amazing food and how it came out hot and cooked to perfection. The Beaufort Hotel is a top notch one stop shop wedding venue and the fact that they have the hotel and restaurant and multiple event spaces makes all your event possible without ever having to leave the property. 10 stars, highly recommend, you will not be disappointed if you choose to have your wedding here.

Amazing Venue and Wedding

The Beaufort Hotel looked like something straight out of a fairy tale for our December 29th wedding. From the moment we met with Bridget and Amanda everything was easy and organized. They allowed us to step outside the box and create the wedding of our dreams in a very short timeframe. Everything was doable. The food was amazing, and the staff couldn't have been more wonderful. We had over 50 guests come from out of town and stay and everyone had a positive experience, and many can't wait to come back. The pictures we have, and the memories created here will stay with us for a lifetime. We will go back often ! You will not go wrong if you pick to celebrate your special day here!

The Boathouse at Front Street Village is one of the most beautiful venues in Carteret County, and that's not all! Equally enhanced by a 5 star staff dedicated to providing fine food and personal service to satisfy the most discriminating guests. As a vendor myself, I look forward to being on site and performing my work in such a positive atmosphere, also realizing the clients we're both serving are very fortunate to have chosen The Boathouse. A class act!
