Set across more than 12 acres in the heart of Wilmington, Canterbury Stables brings together indoor and outdoor spaces designed to give every event room to unfold naturally.
From the main event space and covered patio to ceremony settings, getting-ready areas, and the surrounding grounds, each part of the property offers its own purpose while working together as one complete venue experience.
The Main Event Space
At the center of Canterbury is our 2,400-square-foot indoor event space, offering a comfortable and flexible setting for receptions, dinners, dancing, celebrations, and indoor ceremonies.
The space was designed to provide a polished backdrop without dictating the look or feel of your event, giving planners, couples, and hosts the freedom to make it their own.
Indoor Meets Outdoor
Our 1,200-square-foot covered patio extends the celebration beyond the main event space and creates an easy connection to the surrounding property.
Use it for cocktail hour, additional reception space, lounge areas, gathering with guests, or simply enjoying the open-air setting while staying covered from the elements. Together, the indoor venue and patio allow an event to move naturally from one part of the day to the next.
Ceremony Spaces & Grounds
With more than 12 acres to explore, Canterbury offers outdoor settings that make the natural surroundings part of the experience.
Couples can choose from several ceremony locations across the property, including the Bradley Creek Overlook, while the grounds provide an abundance of opportunities for portraits, engagement photos, and quiet moments throughout the day. The setting feels peaceful and tucked away, while still being right in the heart of Wilmington.
Onsite Suite & Cottages
A spacious getting-ready suite inside the event venue provides a comfortable place to prepare, settle in, and stay close to the celebration throughout the day.
Fireside Gathering Space
The outdoor fireplace creates a cozy place to gather during cocktail hour or step away from the dance floor for a quieter moment. Add lounge seating, florals, or seasonal touches to make the space feel even more inviting.
Endless Photo Opportunities
From photos with Canterbury’s horses to the swing, signature arch, and seasonal backdrops throughout the property, there’s no shortage of memorable places to capture the day.
