So, we started looking at alternative venues. We're relaxed, laid back people. Nothing too formal. No pomp and circumstance. I started thinking that if we couldn't be on the ocean, we both love countryside, and Hubs agreed that would be a great alternative option. So we looked for barns or country locations and we found the Carolina Wedding Barn.
When I called, I spoke to the owner, Mr. John Williams and explained that we had really wanted waterfront but couldn't afford any of the venues. I told him about our Thin Blue Line theme and that Hubs was a retired Marine too. He mentioned that he also owned Abilena Plantation and offered Military and Law Enforcement discounts. Mr. Williams was able to provide a discounted rate within our budget and now, we are getting married at Abilena Plantation!!
It is a gorgeous Carolina plantation house. It is located waterfront on the Neuse River. It has a pool and hot tub, as well as a carriage house for reception. There is a waterfront ceremony location. It is perfect!!!
Below are pictures of Abilena Plantation from their website.
