    Villa D' Amore is everything you could possibly want in a luxury, Southeastern NC wedding Venue. Karen and her entire family give such a friendly, and warm and welcoming vibe to any and everyone that pulls up to the venue, and really know how to show care to each person that gets the honor of celebrating a wedding at their beautiful venue. The mansion is gorgeous along with their new barn that they built themselves! They offer customizable packages and go out of their way to make sure that their brides and grooms have everything that they need for their special days including vendors, flowers, the cake, cleanup, etc. You can get married inside the mansion, outside the mansion, and even stay the night and not have to worry about booking another place to stay! What more could you possibly want out of a family-run wedding venue in Southeastern NC?!?!

    We got married at this venue on November 22nd, and it was truly the most wonderful experience. The owners are the absolute sweetest, and went above and beyond for us throughout the entire planning process. Anytime I had a question or needed the slightest bit of help, she was there with the warmest, most reassuring attitude. The venue itself is stunning, but the kindness and care from the people who run it are what truly set it apart. We felt so supported and taken care of every step of the way. I’m forever grateful that we chose this place for our wedding day. I couldn’t recommend a more beautiful venue — or more genuine owners. 🤍

    We always say to look at everything to see how God works in our lives and when we saw that there was a new wedding venue in Clarkton NC, we had to first see it because of our family ties to the area. From the initial meeting, agreeing to terms, making choices for vendors, decorations, and of course the actual wedding, we are 100% over the top thrilled in our decision to get married at Villa D'Amore! Even though with our extremely busy lives and even having another family wedding two weeks before ours, Karen and her staff were with us all the way. We were last second on a lot of choices but they were very patient while keeping us on task. The actual wedding day was a dream for both of us even on a rainy day! The place was beautiful, all staff took care of everything, and we know we have friends now as a result of our amazing wedding experience! Thank you for giving us a day that is worthy of our love for each other! We know you will have many other exciting weddings and appreciate all you have done for helping us get started in our forever!

No, every couple who wishes to have alcohol at their wedding will need to purchase a bar package with our venue. Beer, Wine, and Seltzers are allowed under our liquor license, if you wish to have liquor for signature cocktails, each couple will need their own temporary, one-day event liquor permit. We will be happy to help explain how to do that!
March-November are peak season months. We do not offer any variable rates during these months or outside of these months.
Yes, our private parking lot can fit up to 75 vehicles with various other spots that we can help direct your guests to upon arrival if the main lot is full. We encourage car pooling for larger events or higher guest counts!
Villa D’Amore offers flexible rental hours based on your selected wedding package. Our standard package includes access from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, while our elevated package includes extended access from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Additional time may be available upon request for an additional fee. Please inquire about availability and details when booking your celebration.
Booking fees for our facilities, and all payments made including deposits, are non-refundable. If you cancel your event within 40 days of your booked date, we’ll bill you the full amount of all estimated charges. If in the event of death, a full refund will be provided. We may also credit your wedding date for a future date, special circumstances considered.
Although our venue is fully insured, we do require all of our couples to invest in their own day of event coverage for many reasons. The biggest reason being, if your event is canceled or a vendor fails to show, often your event insurance can reimburse for those costs. Many other reasons apply, but our team will be happy to recommend our favorite event insurance providers. Typical range of event insurance is $50-150.
Our starting rental fee includes access to Villa D’Amore’s beautiful estate, featuring seven acres of scenic grounds, a climate-controlled reception hall with romantic drapery and lighting, an expansive covered porch, a catering kitchen, and a built-in bar. Couples also enjoy access to our elegant mansion, private bridal and groom suites, and four-chair hair and makeup salon. Our venue offers a beautiful, versatile setting for your ceremony, reception, and wedding day preparations, with package options and additional services available to customize your celebration.
