One place, start to finish

Both 128 South and Bakery 105 hold the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception in the same building, so your guests arrive once and stay put. Which room suits you is mostly a question of character: a two-storey historic interior with a private covered deck over the Cape Fear River, or 4,500 square feet of exposed brick, wood ceilings and steel girders opening onto a garden courtyard.

Getting ready happens a few steps away, at The Cottage on Orange Street — a stand-alone suite available for daily rental.

What’s included

  • Hosted bar packages — house and premium brands, craft beers, signature drinks and mocktails
  • In-house catering and custom menu creation at 128 South
  • Your choice from the preferred caterer list at Bakery 105

Good to know
