Your Downtown Wilmington Wedding & Event Venue
The Atrium is a historic urban garden venue nestled in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Originally a livery stable turned ruin, the space was reimagined in the 1980s as a contemporary garden and office space. In 2011, Jennifer of Salt Harbor Designs and Millie of Millie Holloman Photography acquired the property, transforming it into a premier location for weddings, ceremonies, and private events. Our philosophy centers on connecting people with nature through natural elements, local foliage, and modern architecture. The Atrium offers a unique 'open-air cathedral' atmosphere, requiring minimal decor due to its inherent beauty.We provide day-of coordination services, flexible event spaces, and a newly added bridal suite for pre-event preparation. Our team prioritizes client satisfaction, ensuring each event reflects the couple's vision while maintaining the venue's historic charm. With exposed brick walls, a coy pond, and climbing vines, the space creates unforgettable photo opportunities. We welcome inquiries for weddings, receptions, concerts, and private gatherings, offering tours to showcase our 'secret garden' setting.
