Reason #5 - Top 29 Favorite things about a Bald Head Island Club Wedding

Unfortunately yesterday slipped by me and I ran out of time to post my reason #5 for February's 29 Favorite things about a Bald Head Island Club Wedding... but that just means that today I'm posting 2!

First on the list, our #5 reason to get married on Bald Head Island is our shining star, our historical figure, our light in the darkness, Old Baldy. The Old Baldy Lighthouse was commissioned in the year 1817, nearly 200 years ago, to light the mouth of the Cape Fear river. Thousands of visitors come to Old Baldy each year to climb the steps to the lookout tower and take in the majestic beauty of Bald Head Island and the surrouning area. 

Old Baldy is also the site where many couples chose to utter those two precious words to their future husband or wife... those two words you've spent months waiting to say... two words that once uttered, you are forever changed from. I Do.

I would say about a third of all our weddings will opt for the Old Baldy Lighthouse as their ceremony locale and it doesn't take a genius to see why. Not only does Old Baldy provide for some beautiful images, but the giant Oak Tree in front of it, with the romantic spanish moss hanging from its many branches provides quite the backdrop for any lucky couple's big day.

And even if you don't choose Old Baldy as your ceremony location, many couples will swing by with their photographer and have a couple images taken with Old Baldy in the background or the foreground.  

This is one of my favorites....

Adding a few lanterns from the branches of the old Oak Tree in front of Old Baldy gives it that extra little touch of something. And when the sun is just beginning to go down and a little candle light starts to flicker, you won't believe you are actually here. It's one of those moments you tell yourself "remember this... remember this moment, right now."

 The lawn in front of the old Oak tree is large enough to hold a ceremony of 300+. But I've also seen groups as small as 30 have their ceremony out here. It's so versatile, you can use the space however you like.

And then afterwards, the Bald Head Island Club is just a 5 minute golf cart ride away. Let your guests experience the oldest lighthouse in N.C. and then bring them to the club to experience the finest in cuisine, the most superior level of service and of course, the gorgeous view from our Ocean Terrace. Oh... and I'm here too :)

Happy Monday everyone. Stay tuned for reason #6 coming shorlty!
