Nestled in the picturesque town of Beaufort, North Carolina, on the southern tip of the Outer Banks, our property offers a stunning waterfront location on Taylor’s Creek, with breathtaking views of the Rachel Carson Reserve, home to over 30 wild horses. This idyllic setting makes our full-service hotel the perfect backdrop for any event, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. Our newly constructed, modern event spaces can accommodate groups ranging from 20 to over 500 guests, ensuring that every occasion is memorable and unique.
For couples seeking a wedding venue with a touch of elegance and natural beauty, our wedding pavilion is located at the edge of the property, overlooking Taylor’s Creek and Carrot Island. It comfortably hosts 120 guests seated inside, and the ceremony can be expanded to over 300 guests on the lawn, using the pavilion entrance as a beautiful backdrop. For smaller weddings, the West Lawn offers a charming, intimate setting right on the water. The Rachel Carson Grand Ballroom, located on the second floor of the main building, provides a luxurious space for up to 220 guests, complete with private indoor and outdoor areas ideal for cocktail hours and grand exits.
Our versatile event spaces cater to various needs, whether you’re planning a smaller wedding or a large-scale reception. The ballroom can be divided into four different salons, and we also offer three additional spaces—the Marlin Room with adjoining Lookout Deck, Shackleford Room, and Executive Board Room—perfect for rehearsal dinners, elopements, and showers. For those envisioning an outdoor waterfront reception, our Front Lawn is an excellent choice, accommodating over 500 guests under a tent. With endless possibilities, the Beaufort Hotel is the ideal venue for creating cherished memories.
