Summer T. Sent on 05/28/2024The most beautiful venue
We had the most incredible wedding at The Inn on Pamlico Sound. We were able to visit multiple times, and from start to finish the process was easy. The staff at the inn are so attentive, our guests were raving about the service they received (nothing I had heard from any other wedding before!). The food was delicious, and the team works hard to make our vision a reality. Meredith is the best to work with, and can make anyone's OBX dream wedding a reality! We are excited to be able to go visit the spot we got married for years to comeThe Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
Summer & Warren,
Thank you! We had a wonderful time with you all and look forward to seeing you and the family back for many years to come! -

A Perfect Wedding
The highest compliment I can give is that when the team involved in your wedding at The Inn say they've "got this", they really do in fact "got this". We made a last minute change to the exact location of the ceremony and it was so smooth you would never know. They made the entire process straightforward and easy as possible and the day itself was just stunning. Still on cloud nine!The Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
Michelle and Dave, it was an honor to be entrusted with your wedding. Like so many couples before you, we look forward to seeing you back for many years to come. -

If I could give 10 stars, I would. My husband and I just had our Wedding Weekend at the Inn on Pamlico Sound, last month and I cannot express enough how seamless they made the planning process for us. They were very attentive via phone/text/email. Especially as we got down to the wire and I sent numerous emails, they always made sure to answer every single question we had. We were able to mail things, drop things off the week of the wedding and they are super friendly and knowledgeable, they make it such a BREEZE, take your worries away and put it in their hands. We did a Welcome Brunch the day before the Wedding, had breakfast with family the morning of the Wedding and I cannot stress enough how attentive they were. They are SO polite, friendly, and such a blast to work with - you feel like a part of their inn family! We are so thankful and happy we had our Wedding there not just because of the beautiful location but especially because of the staff. Meredith, Natasha, and Melissa is who we worked with and spoke with the most and saw/met in person, love them they are fantastic - appreciate everything they did for us!! Steve is great too, he is the owner and I have spoken with him on the phone a bunch, I did not get the pleasure of meeting him that weekend but his entire staff makes your Wedding so memorable and fun. If you are thinking of having a wedding here, eating dinner or staying, stop being indecisive and do it! Beautiful venue, kindest souls and just best time ever. We love ya'll thank you again SO SO SO MUCH for the best weekend ever :)The Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
Ally,
It was our pleasure to be a part of you and Drew's special day. We absolutely loved spending the weekend with you and your family. We can't wait to meet the new baby and see Mark grow! You guys are simply adorable and we look forward to sharing many years with you.

Rachel E. Sent on 10/04/2023There are not enough good words
It's honestly difficult to even start listing all the reasons I am so extremely thrilled that I booked this venue. But first we'll start with Meredith, the event coordinator. She is fabulous! Every piece of the entire process was smooth and easy due to her. She was on top of what I needed to do and by when, and always available for a call when needed. AND when a tropical storm hit very suddenly the weekend of our wedding, she handled everything amazingly. She kept in contact with vendors and was quick to develop plan A, B, and C with us. While of course I was stressed due to weather, I can't IMAGINE how much more stressed I would have been without her. Our day would not have gone so well if it were not for her.
In addition, the staff in general... Every single person that we interacted with was just amazing. They work so hard to make it feel homey and make you feel so welcomed. All my guests were commenting on it.
Lastly the facilities, food, etc. The food choices available for rehearsal dinner and wedding were amazing, and the breakfast included with your stay is hands down the best breakfast of any hotel I've been to. The inn is stunning, the view of the water, the greenery, the homey feel of the rooms. We ended up having to take down the tent over the deck for the reception due to the weather, and had the ceremony on the deck rather than the lawn by the water as it was a bit flooded and the reception was done on their permanent covered deck, but even with the adaptations it still ended up being beautiful. And a big reason I had picked the Inn over other OBX locations was because of the backup options available as weather can go south quick. Another plus is the decor they have available. While I did buy/rent some, I really didn't have to get much as they have so much available, and all I had to do was list out what I wanted (for a small extra charge that is so so worth it).
This is already a long review, but I could honestly keep going forever singing their praises. Thank you to everyone at the Inn, yall are the best! -

Grace A. Sent on 09/02/2023Amazing Summer Wedding!
We booked the Inn on Pamlico Sound for their wedding weekend package and had a great experience! Our wedding planner helped us every step of the way with planning, tracking our costs, and got all the details taken care of for us exactly as requested. The planner also ensured everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. Our only critique is that getting the rooms booked at the inn for our guests using their system was somewhat inefficient and lead to difficulties and confusion, however they ensured everything got worked out in the end to our satisfaction. The restaurant offered a totally personalized menu selection and catered the best food we have ever had at any wedding and several guests went out of their way to tell us this as well. Views from the venue were beautiful, especially at sunset and made for great pictures. We absolutely recommend this venue to anyone considering an Outer Banks wedding! -

Perfect Wedding
The Inn on Pamlico Sound was the perfect venue for our wedding on May 6, 2023. Everything was absolutely amazing - the venue was beautiful, the food was outstanding, the drinks were on point, service was outstanding, and the team at the Inn made the day unforgettable. Huge shoutout to Meredith, the wedding coordinator, and her team for making everything go smoothly and nailing all of the small details. Meredith was unbelievably helpful throughout the planning process. The restaurant staff provided top-notch service during dinner and took great care of our guests in addition to the outstanding food served. If you're looking for a coastal wedding spot, The Inn on Pamlico Sound is an absolute gem. We could not have imagined a better day and venue!The Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
Catherine & Stuart, Your wedding day was absolutely beautiful! We are honored you chose to share it with us. Thank you for the awesome review and we hope to see you back soon!

Cory M. Sent on 12/13/2022Absolute magic from start to finish!
Our recent wedding at The Inn on Pamlico Sound was quite simply— heaven. Absolute magic from start to finish and the entire process from planning to execution was handled masterfully by this incredible staff. As a couple, we are considered by many close to us to be “dreamers” but this experience was well above and beyond anything that even we had imagined. Our families and friends continue to rave about the beauty of the venue, the landscape, the kindness and thoroughness of the staff, the supreme quality of the food and the overall unique nature of such a truly memorable weekend. Just some of the things our family and friends have said: “I have never seen a wedding like that before!” “That was the best wedding food ever!” “I can’t believe you had such great weather in November!”
This phenomenal team they have assembled feels like a family in the way they ebb and flow together and have each other’s backs— all with the singular focus of making a memorable, magical day come to life for their guests. We gave this great team numerous challenges and they rose to the occasion time and time again. First, we had only about 4.5 months from when we selected the venue to the big day. Our wedding was in late November (the weekend before Thanksgiving) and we wanted to do it outside right along the water, so we need contingency plans in case of weather (though the weather ended up being gorgeous!) We wanted a mic’d ceremony so everyone could hear, 2 separate live musicians, as well as a DJ for the reception. We used a combination of local and remote vendors who all needed to collaborate closely to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Everything came together perfectly and we could not have asked for more. Each of these team members is a consummate professional who remained poised, calm and confident… even in face of a rather short turnaround wedding such as ours:
- Meredith was detailed, precise, kind and a calming presence who inspired confidence every step along the way.
- Melissa was incredibly welcoming and patient in helping us accommodate guests coming everywhere from San Francisco, to Salt Lake, to Madrid, to Baltimore…
- Dallas was not only a culinary artist, but one of the friendliest, most helpful people you could ever hope to meet.
- And Steve, Natasha and the entire team ensured that IOPS lived up to the promise top to bottom. And then some.
- We also selected several of their preferred vendors, all of whom knit perfectly right into the fabric of this well orchestrated weekend.
We booked the “wedding weekend” package in order to reserve the entire Inn for our guests, a tremendous value that enabled us to also hire amazing photographers and videographers to help capture the entire wedding day. We could not recommend this venue more. An absolute gem. If you are “considering” The Inn on Pamlico Sound for your wedding, I invite you to ask them for my direct cell number and I will not let you off the phone until you are convinced this is the only place for you! :-) Literally if a unicorn had flown across the sky behind us during the ceremony I don’t think it would have been any more magical than what transpired. We will never forget it. Our friends and family will never forget it. And we could never thank the amazing staff at The Inn on Pamlico Sound enough for all that they do. Endless gratitude to Meredith, Melissa, Dallas, Natasha, Steve and the entire IOPS team!
We will never forget you and we WILL absolutely be back soon. Much love, team!!The Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
Cory, it was an honor to be entrusted with your and Emily's wedding. Our people fell in love with your family and friends and hope to see all of you back for many years to come :-) -

Relapse R. Sent on 09/06/2022Incredible experience from beginning to end
My wife and I were due to be married at the inn in September of 2019. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas, as Hurricane Dorian swept through the islands on our wedding day. Despite needing to make their own preparations for a major storm, Steve and the rest of the Inn’s team made us feel comfortable, reassured us we would have the wedding we wanted, and immediately got to work to find us an open date the following spring. It’s hard to understate how accommodating everyone was during what was a hard time for us emotionally, especially in the face of a major storm that was threatening their livelihoods.
Unfortunately, the following year held more difficulties in store, as the pandemic had begun and it would ultimately be unsafe to have our wedding on our rescheduled date. Despite having already given us so much leeway in rescheduling our wedding, they were so dedicated to us having our day that they once again helped us find a day the following year in hopes that it would be safer. Unfortunately, that day also came and went with Covid still being a major concern, but the inn never gave it a second thought, once again finding us a perfect day the following year.
Fast forward to 2022, and the months leading to our wedding could not have gone more smoothly. Meredith and the event team helped us through some stressful points in our planning, taking the reins when we’d become indecisive, and offering us ideas for the ceremony we’d not yet thought of. Through the entire process, she made everything digestible even when we’d procrastinated, and made sure at no point we felt overwhelmed.
Melissa, the hotel manager, was patient and accommodating with us through all our various changes in room assignments, of which there were many because my wife and I are both horrifically disorganized on our best day. She somehow managed to navigate our chaos without any difficulty, which is a feat in and of itself.
The weekend of our wedding was everything we wanted it to be in every single way. Our guests (not to mention the two of us) were extremely impressed by the gorgeous rooms, the amazing food, and the incredibly kind and welcoming staff. Melissa was once again amazing in fielding everything our guests could have needed. Meredith made sure that once it came time for us to have our wedding, our entire experience was stress free (as much as a wedding can be) and we could focus on just enjoying one another and our loved ones. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was second to none, and the staff was some of the most warm people we’ve ever encountered.
The inn went above and beyond for us in every way possible, and worked hard for us across years of planning and rescheduling to make sure we had amazing memories of our wonderful day. I could not recommend them enough, and we can’t wait to come back for a visit and see everyone again.

I could not have asked for a better venue and team for my wedding. The Inn on Pamlico Sound was a stunning oasis for our 60 person wedding. The view, the rooms, the FOOD were all amazing! Meredith was my wedding planner and didn't miss a detail! Melissa handled all of guests rooms and handled every hiccup that came our way! The owner Steve was beyond gracious! We can't wait to return in the future!The Inn on Pamlico Sound's reply:
