Jacksonville NC Wedding Venue

The Palo Alto is an historic wedding venue in located in Maysville, North Carolina, right outside of Onslow County. This plantation is only 26 miles from Jacksonville, Swansboro and Cedar Point, which means this venue is a hidden country gem just a short drive from the beach. Nestled on three acres, the Palo Alto boasts Civil War history and is one of the oldest houses in Onslow County. It is a showcase for period antiques and classic furnishings.

The venue features separate spaces large enough to host your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one charming setting. There is also an option to wed at the Tabernacle Church down the road if that's the vision you imagine.

The exterior of the Palo Alto features manicured European-style gardens and lush lawns that are a sight to behold. When guests arrive, they'll be in awe at the stunning Sycamore-lined road, the circular drive and the regal white columns.

The ceremony site is set with custom built pews and a fabulous arbor that will frame your vows beautifully. After the ceremony, you can make your way over to the open air stone patio with bubble lights to kick off the party.

You can start the day in the sunlight and end it under the stars at the Palo Alto Plantation. Take a drive into the serene countryside to see one of the Crystal Coast’s most enduring and timeless venues, replete with glamour and romance.
