Destination Weddings

Destination Weddings are gaining in popularity along the Crystal Coast . . . and that includes the beautiful beaches in Onslow County. Sneaking off after the wedding, to an unknown-to-others destination for the honeymoon, may be fading from the list of "bride's dreams"; being replaced with small, intimate gatherings of family and friends joining the bride and groom at a destination of their choosing, with their dream wedding taking place at their vacation or reunion setting.

Onslow County Tourism provides information about beaches and other attractions in the area. Panache, in its capacity as a "one-stop shop" will then provide "total assistance" to couples choosing Onslow County as a "Destination Site." Onslow County Tourism can be reached by phone at 910-347-3141, or Toll-Free at 1-800-932-2144. The Onslow County Tourism Website is: www.onslowcountytourism.com
