Memorial Day Weekend - Busiest of the Year!

Memorial Day Weekend has quickly become the most popular wedding weekend of the year on the Outer Banks and for good reason! The long weekend allows guests to make a mini-vacation out of it and the late May weather combined with empty beaches is just perfect! We had 3 weddings + 1 brunch at The Currituck Club this 2013 Memorial Day Weekend -  here are photos from the first wedding!

Happy Planning!

Trend Alert - The Wedding Weekend

What's becoming more and more popular here on the Outer Banks? Welcome Parties & Day-After Brunches! Since most weddings that are hosted here are destination weddings and guests are coming from out of town for the weekend or week, a lot of people plan a weekend's worth of events for everyone attending. Instead of your traditional rehearsal dinner, we host alot of  welcome parties that include all wedding guests and not just the wedding party and immediate family. It's more like a "welcome to the beach" and a great kick off to the wedding weekend. Then the morning after the wedding it's becoming increasingly popular to host a brunch to allow everyone to get together one more time and say thank yous and goodbyes before hitting the road to head home! You can host all 3 events at one venue (The Currituck Club of course!) or you can do a combination of events at a venue and at a rental home. In addition to our veranda and outside space, we also have the indoor Rees Jones Lounge so you can host multiple events at the Club without having everything look and feel the same! We also do off-site caterings in the Corolla area for those types of events.

Below are pictures from a welcome dinner we hosted on May 10th, 2013 (wedding was held at an event home the next day)



Here's a Day-After Brunch we hosted May 26th, 2013 (wedding was held here at The Currituck Club the night before - stay tuned for photos!)




Love the use of the bridesmaids bouquets from the night before as centerpieces for the brunch!
