Bakery 105 is located at the corner of Front St. and Orange St. in historic Downtown Wilmington, NC. The former bakery has been re-purposed for private events and features an 3500 sq foot outdoor garden courtyard and 4500 sq foot indoor venue. The venue boasts exposed brick walls, wood ceiling, & steel girders.
We got married on 12.2.23 at Bakery 105. Bakery 105 made our wedding day more perfect than we could have imagined. They take so much care to make sure you have the perfect day and make you feel like youâre the only wedding they are planning. I highly recommend the Wedding Day Experience package. It is super inclusive and comes with so many thing built in that it makes planning way easier. Katie at Bakery 105 was so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and organized. The things you should know if you're considering Bakery 105 as your venue are:1) The venue (outside and inside) and location could not be more beautiful. There are so many hotels and restaurants in just a 5 minute walk from the venue. I think the location enhanced our guests' experience for the whole wedding weekend so much, rather than having a venue a 30+ minute drive from anything in the middle of nowhere. 2) The food is amazing. Food was one of the most important things to us. We had so many guests compliment the food and ask for recipes for weeks after. 3) The service could not be better. We had so many guests tell us how attentive the waitstaff were. They kept appetizers, drinks, wine, and water coming quickly the whole night. Katie made sure me and my husband had everything we needed the whole night. 4) Everyone at Bakery 105, especially Katie, are so easy and nice to work with. Everything is transparent and they are always available by phone or email. Reviewed on 16-12-2023

My husband and I are extremely happy with having had chosen Bakery 105 for our wedding! The team was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Jordan helped me out the most and was very clear when answering my questions. We hired their sister company 128 South for catering (wonderful food and portion size to say the least!) and the entire staff of both Bakery 105 and 128 South the day of were very friendly and did an amazing job. We got married on NYE 2023 and we loved how charming the courtyard was during our night time ceremony. The reception space inside was beautiful too - we especially loved the bar and the draping they already have set up in there. We were happy with the price of renting the venue / bar along with The Cottage for me and my girls to get ready in across the street. The location in downtown Wilmington was also convenient for our guests the entire weekend - we heard nothing but great things from everyone that attended. Definitely book here if you are looking for a Wilmington venue! Reviewed on 14-01-2024

The absolute best decision we made was choosing Bakery 105 for our venue and Katie for our day of coordinator. The entire team at Bakery/128 South was so great to work with from day one. They were always extremely responsive, helpful and treated you like you were the most important bride even when they were working with numerous others. First, the venue is gorgeous and allows you to have inside and outside options. The brick inside and greenery outside provide beautiful canvases for your special day. We chose 128 South for catering and the food was amazing. We received so many compliments on our food so we know we made the right decision. Last but certainly not least, is Katie. What can I say other than she is amazing!! She was so much more than a day of coordinator. I planned my own wedding and could not have done it without her help. She assisted me with everything for over a year and never made me feel like I was a bother. On the day of, she was superwoman and ensured everything appeared flawless. Somehow, she managed to keep us on schedule and always appeared out of nowhere to put a drink in my hand! I truly canât say enough good things about her and the entire team. They really make you feel like you are family. I can assure you that youâll be in the BEST hands when you choose Bakery/128 South for your big day! Reviewed on 16-12-2023

If I could give Bakery 105 a million stars I would, they were AMAZING beginning to end! Our day was handled with such care, making sure every little detail was exactly how we imagined. The absolute magic this team puts on will blow you and your guests away, so look no further! They really are the experts here in Wilmington, and the setting is perfect for couples looking for a fun and beautiful day (that turns into an easy and walkable night out!) Davis was our DOC, and holy MOLY was he incredible! Our families could not stop raving about his energy and attention towards them and any needs. Drinks were kept full, everything ran on-time, and if there were any fires to put out my husband and I never had a clue! Heâs an absolute rockstar! If thereâs any hesitation left, take a look through just some of the beauty this team helped create- Iâll never be over this day! THANK YOU to the entire Bakery 105 team, the best in the business!

My wife and I got married at Bakery 105 on November 5th 2023 and it was one of the best days of our lives! We absolutely fell in love with the venue when we came to tour last year. The wall of greenery on the outside is a very quick eyecatcher, but there is nothing about this venue that could disappoint. We loved being able to share our day with our loved ones in such a beautiful space. Lauren, our day of coordinator, hit it out of the park and we absolutely adore her. She was very organized, very thoughtful, and kept us at the forefront of her priorities every time. Katie helped to arrange our initial meeting and was kind, helpful, and informative, especially since we were planning everything on our own.

The food was fantastic, the service was fantastic. Iâll be thinking about that mac and cheese until the end of time. It truly was one of the best days of our lives, I never wanted it to end!

105 Bakery did not dissappoint! We had several meetings prior to the wedding day which were very much needed. We never felt rushed in the meetings. The wedding day was perfect. The room was decorated so beautifully. We used 105 Bakery chairs and tables which were perfect. We rented the dance floor from them as well.The staff was professional and very effecient.The bar was staffed well-very little wait time.The food was amazing! Everyone came up to me and let me know how delicous the food tasted. The chef was easy to work with and was accomodating when asked to make an appetizer a main dish for example. The beef tenderloin was perfect. The roasted potatoes in duck fat were a hit. The staff was very attentive to the buffet with no wait time for food.Clean up was fast so the dancing could get started.I have absolutely no complaints.They made us feel like our day was important and the best day ever!!Thank you Katie and Staff.

Bakery 105 proved to be the perfect venue for us! The owners were always available if we needed them and the staff day off couldnât have been better! We knew we wanted to get married in Wilmington and the location couldnât have been better! We were right downtown and close enough to the water that we were able to sneak away after the ceremony to get a few more photos. There are plenty of accommodations close by for the wedding party to stay at. Renting the cottage was completely worth it and so convenient to have a getting ready place just a few steps away. The inn across the street proved to be a great place for the guys to get ready! One of my must haves for a wedding venue was to be able to have my dog at the ceremony. Bakery 105 was so accommodating and I am so thankful to have our dog in our wedding photos! Reviewed on 12-07-2023

Josee Zydonik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-05-2023 My husband and I were just married in the beginning of May in 2023 and I cannot say enough good things about this venue, the staff, and our overall experience. We had booked this venue via a tour on facetime and had not seen it in person until months later. The location being right downtown cannot be beat! The professionalism of the Bakery 105 team was, in our experience, exceptional. As with any large event with a lot of moving parts there were a few things that didn't go quite according to plan, however the staff was very quick on their feet and eager to make it right, right then. For example, we had margaritas as a signature drink and the first ones served were very tart or mostly tequila. However, the Bakery 105 team was quick to make sure that changes were made and came up to myself and my dad personally apologize and assure it was resolved. We decided early on to book the planning services offered through Bakery 105 (for a great price I might add!!) and from the start Katie was extremely attentive and eager to help. She is organized, an awesome hype woman, and I can honestly say I'm going to miss talking to her on the regular. Her assistant Lauren was also amazing during our wedding. Our guests continue to talk about how the staff made rounds to make sure their needs were met and if they could assist in any way. The catering was also incredible! We had done the November food tasting prior deciding on our menu - definitely recommend that as well! It was also a chance to experience the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff before the big day. Our total head count including vendors was around 140 and we all fit comfortably. Again, I can not say enough good things about Bakery 105 and their team! I'd love to post some photos with this review, however our photos are not back yet. Reviewed on 22-05-2023

Hayley Kane(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-12-2022 As soon as my husband and I stepped inside Bakery 105, I knew that it was the place we wanted to be married in! It had everything we imagined and went with the vibe of our wedding perfectly. The space is so beautiful on it's own, so you can really dress it up as much or as little as you want and it will always be stunning. Another plus of the space is that it was very accessible friendly, which was important as some of our guests had limited mobility. The staff were so great with answering our questions and letting us see the space more than once (once with my husband and I and another time with my mother) before we made our final decision. We opted to have the Cottage as a Bridal Suite and Katie as our coordinator and there were no regrets AT ALL! The Cottage was perfect to get ready in with my girls as we could all hang out and bond before the day and we did not have to worry about moving from one location to the next. Also we could leave our stuff there throughout the night so that was one less stress we had to worry about of \"where should it go?\" Katie was a literal ROCKSTAR! I am so glad and fortunate that we had her to help us with our coordination and she took care of us every step of the way. She gave advice when we asked, was flexible, always in a fun mood, but still serious and got the job done. She didn't just go through the motions, she connected with not just us, the bride & groom, but our parents and our wedding party. But most of al, she was reliable. I had no worries going into our wedding weekend and she is to thank for that! I could go on and on about Bakery 105 and why we couldn't imagine be married anywhere else.

Emma Kitzmiller(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2022 Or daughter was engaged in October of 2021. Anticipating a difficult decision for a Fall wedding in 2022, we scheduled visits to several venues. Our first stop was Bakery 105. On that Saturday morning, the staff was busily setting up for a wedding and we fell in love with the setting. Emma made the decision on the spot and our year of planning began! The Bakery 105 staff provided a list of preferred vendors and helped us know what to do first. Bakery 105âs Davis Dunbar was our wedding coordinator. Davis was kind, knowledgeable, and always upbeat and supportive. No question was too small and no obstacle was too big! Davis met with us three times throughout the year and kept in close contact by phone, email and text. The Bakery 105 staff, Davis, Katie and Jordan, handled our details with meticulous precision and accuracy. They were always available to answer our questions and quickly returned our frantic phone calls. Emma and Josh were married at Bakery 105 in Wilmington NC in November 2022. Not only was the setting beautiful, the food was fabulous and the staff at Bakery 105 was amazing. We used the onsite caterers, 128 South Events. Our guests raved about the appetizers, the entrees and the impeccable service. For our event, we booked The Cottage and it was the perfect location for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready for the wedding. 128 South catered a light âBubbles and Bitesâ brunch while the girls had hair and makeup done and dressed. The wedding ceremony was held in the Bakery 105 courtyard, followed by a cocktail hour and then we went inside for dinner and dancing. The courtyard was beautifully arranged and under Davis Dunbarâs direction, the wedding ceremony was simply perfect. The transition to the cocktail hour, with passed and stationed appetizers and bar, was seamless. Throughout dinner and the reception the wait staff and bartenders were helpful, efficient and cheerful! We cannot say enough about the service. Nobody sat waiting for anything the whole night. Even Davis was available throughout the evening, helping our guests with anything they needed. There were no long lines as we had the plated meal â farm to table salad, choice of shrimp penne or slow roasted chicken. The bar staff had no one in line all night, they were so quick. The appetizers were to die for. We had the empanadas, crostini, Nashville chicken sliders, crabcakes, and ham biscuits. Our guests are still raving about all of them, but especially the empanadas and crabcakes! All in all, the event was perfect. We are writing this review two weeks to the day after Emma and Josh were married at Bakery 105 in front of friends and family. We miss the staff and talking to Davis about wedding planning! We sit here hoping our paths cross again with them and honestly all of the vendors we had involved in our event. Our friends and family are still raving about the beauty of the day, how everything flowed, the food which was amazing and how it was the âbest party they had ever been toâ. We feel like we made lifelong friends at Bakery 105 and lifelong memories.

Picking a wedding venue can be such a scary thing to decide on, but the level of professional, attention to detail, and support from Bakery is unmatched. The staff was friendly, polite, and fast! Our guests never had a long wait at the bar and are still RAVING about the food. One of the best surprises is how amazing the food was!!! We opted for a duo plate with a beef tenderloin and a mahi mahi - both cooked to perfection! We did the premium open bar package, which to our surprise had craft beer, seltzers, and they included tequila (not typically on the package) as itâs the Brides drink of choice. One thing I loved about the venue is they give you a Preferred venders list. This helped me narrow down my search, knowing they were vetted by the venue. And I will say every single vendor we chose to work with from the list did a fantastic job!!! You can tell the wedding community in Wilmington love to also work at Bakery 105 when weâd speak to them! The vendors on the list know the venue and can help you envision the day! We worked very closely with Katie Swan (the BEST day of coordinator as well) through out the process. She always was quick to respond and super helpful with every random question. On the day of the wedding I wouldnât have survived without her, she listened, took care of any issue that arises (which was minimal - and I didnât know about it until after the wedding), and made sure my husband and I always had what we needed (for us that was a drink in our hand).

We were able to walk to our rehearsal dinner and then walk to our honeymoon Airbnb after the wedding. Plus photos on the waterfront! I definitely recommend renting the bridal cottage as that was a major blessing, especially as the bride, just to have somewhere nearby to hide but also to monitor the setup progress. All our expectations were met and it was a good experience overall! Communication was a little slow in the time leading up to our date, it usually took them a week or two to respond to emails, but they were always very thorough and detailed. One frustrating thing was the restrictions on lighting- you are required to hire a professional with liability insurance to hang any sort of lighting, even Edison or Christmas lights, so keep that in mind, as it does get expensive (especially considering the late night pickup fee!!). We also were not informed that another group would be doing their wedding rehearsal in the middle of our setup time, which was fine, but we should have been informed. And the city was doing sidewalk construction right outside the venue on our day, which we also did not know about! It worked out, as the construction workers were awesome about working around us and limiting noise during the ceremony. Needless to say, it was an interesting day but overall Bakery 105 was a good choice! It was a beautiful venue for our wedding and the people were great in helping us tour the venue and answering all of our MANY questions in the months leading up to the wedding. We recommend!

The entire staff at Bakery 105 was so helpful and responsive during the planning process. Most importantly, our wedding would not have been the same without the fabulous and one-of-a-kind, Katie Swain. We hired Katie to be our day-of-coordinator, but throughout the year and a half of planning she always went above and beyond for me and my entire family. Katie was my right-hand gal, since I planned the wedding from out-of-state, and always reassured me of my decisions. When it threatened to rain the week leading up to the wedding, Katie was quick to brainstorm a rain plan and handled all communication with the vendor team so I could enjoy the week with my family and friends. Thankfully it did not rain, but I did not have to worry once as I knew the Bakery 105 team had my back regardless of what was thrown our way. We cannot thank the entire staff at Bakery 105 for ensuring our topical elegance vision came to life and for hosting our perfect day! Is it too soon to renew our vows?!PS - Our wedding guests cannot stop raving about the dinner provided by 128 South Catering. It was so delicious and there was plenty of it!! Reviewed on 04-06-2021
Christian Terry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2021 Bakery 105 staff were excellent in communicating with us. They accommodated our request to move the date of the wedding due to COVID-19, and went above and beyond to make our day special. The venue was beautiful and our guests keep talking about how beautiful they felt the wedding was. Reviewed on 29-05-2021
Brooke Chamberlain(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2021 I was torn between 2 venues in Wilmington - Wrightsville Manor which is an absolutely gorgeous (and newer) venue, and Bakery 105 which is also beautiful (but not quite as big and much older). If I'm being honest, Wrightsville Manor was a prettier venue to me, but I wasn't crazy about the location (odd location, no hotels real close), and loved that Bakery was downtown (makes it easy to go straight to a bar after for an after party without losing your whole group due to people driving/Ubering, and plenty of AirBnbs and hotels nearby so I didn't feel the need to provide transportation since everyone could walk if they needed to). And don't get me wrong, Bakery is beautiful! I love the outside courtyard covered in ivy, the whitewash brick inside is stunning, the natural light coming in from the windows in the ceiling, etc - lots of charm! But it was really the people that made my decision for me. Wrightsville Manor acted like they didn't have time to show me around even though we had an \"appointment\". We last minute tried to get an appointment to see Bakery 105 and 128 South (their sister venue) while my mom was in town and they didn't have any available, but we thought we would try walking in to 128 South to see if we could peek around. Right away, Jill introduced herself and happily gave us a packet of information and offered to show us around both venues without hesitation. Jill was an absolute joy and was a big reason we ultimately chose Bakery. Fast forward to working with their coordinator Katie Swain and I am SO GLAD I chose Bakery! Katie is an absolute godsend and was so much fun to work with. I anticipated on the day-of that there would be things done differently than I would have done and had prepared for that, knowing that it wouldn't matter at the end of the day and that nobody would notice but me...but I was wrong! Katie absolutely nailed my vision right down to every little detail! And she is so much fun now I just want to be her friend :) I only have one complaint: I do wish they did their tastings differently - I didn't care for the group, family-style tastings because we had no say in what we got to try and we didn't have a chance to try the food we ultimately picked before the big day.

Kendall Scibal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-03-2020 Wow - everything about our experience with Bakery 105 was absolutely perfect. I can't even bring myself to shorten my review because it feels like an injustice to leave out any of the details. This venue is beautiful, the day was seamless, and Katie and Jordan were profoundly amazing to work with every single step of the way. You could not ask for two people more dedicated to perfecting your wedding day.No matter how many tedious questions I asked, I never once felt anything but comfort and support. I had the added stress of planning our wedding from out of town and was not able to have some of the most important conversations in person, yet it felt as easy as if the venue was in my backyard. So if you live out of town, don't let that scare you. Plus, these ladies are gurus. Seriously. I did not think a wedding like the one I had would be possible within my budget, and of course I stretched here and there, but they also helped me find ways to save in other areas. They can work with whatever your goals are, and they continued to impress me with their innovation, creative suggestions, and total sincerity and generosity. Additionally, they are completely candid about every little cost from day one - so you need not worry about \"surprise\" mandatory expenses.This venue is breath-takingly beautiful, but even the most beautiful venue may not feel worth it if the process is a nightmare. I am a control freak and prone to anxiety, but I felt nothing but total calm on my wedding day and it's all thanks to this team. Katie was on top of everything, without ever coming across as bossy or unreasonable. She was there with an answer to my questions before I even had to ask, and had a solution for literally everything. No task was too big or too small for her - she even helped me change into my Keds during the reception! She also made sure Brett and I always had a drink in our hands (if we wanted one) so that we never had to waste time going to the bar, she made us full plates of food when she realized we got pulled away by conversation, and she never let the plans get off track. She perfectly executed even the nit-pickiest of my requests, and always with a smile. Yet for how present she was, Katie never felt overwhelming or in the way. I am so grateful we found and chose this venue. I truly cannot imagine having done anything differently - it really was perfect.Bonus: the food was absolutely incredible. I come from a large family - we have had a LOT of weddings - and I was told by countless people this was the best food they've had at a wedding, and one of the (if not the single most) beautiful venues they've seen.

We had our wedding set and planned out and then the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Katie did such a great job working through countless variations of what the day would look like with us, trying to figure out what would be allowed during all of the restrictions, while still trying to have our dream wedding.

Hannah Dunlop(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-12-2019 12/10 recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Wilmington. Bakery 105 was everything my husband and I could have asked for. We used Bakery 105 for our ceremony and reception, and used the Cottage across the street for the bride/bridesmaids to get ready. Katie and Jordan (the coordinators) worked with us to create a day that reflected everything we dreamed of and asked for. We wanted a wedding that was authentic, peaceful, and reflective of the love we share. It was that and SO much more. I delivered my decorations the day before the wedding, and Katie turned it into something out of a magazine. I had some pictures in my mind, but she blew my expectations away. When I walked into the venue, I felt so lucky, listened to, and loved.

Katherine was an excellent go-between for all the vendors and the musicians. On the day of the event, we knew we were in expert hands and the entire evening moved like a well-oiled machine. The food was delicious and we received many compliments on the dinner especially for a large event. The wait staff moved quickly and very capably. At the end of the event, Katherine was there to help with all the packing of personal effects. Our experience was 5 star. We highly recommend Bakery 105 and 128 South. Reviewed on 22-10-2015
Lauren Fitch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2015 Fantastic new venue that opened in 2014...Bakery 105 allowed us to have the best of both worlds! We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the brick courtyard and an amazing reception inside while guests could still take a break outside and sit under the stars. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating and the food (from 128 South Events) was delicious. The exposed brick and white rafters accent any decor, from rustic to classic to modern. It also isn't a giant space so a little decor will go a long way. We had about 140 guests and it never felt crammed. Being a newer venue in the downtown area, it was still brilliantly clean and fresh with no discernible wear and tear. All-in-all, we are extremely happy with our choice and had nothing but rave reviews from our guests! Reviewed on 05-05-2015
