New Bern Riverfront Convention Center of Craven County – Modern NC Event Space with Waterfront Views for Large Weddings

The one thing about this New Bern wedding venue you might guess just from the name is that it can host LARGE events. In fact, it’s one of the largest wedding venues in NC! Unlike most convention centers, the natural light and riverfront lawn make it a modern and attractive facility.

Divide the massive event space can be into three separate ballrooms to host smaller events. Of these three, the largest subsection can host 500 guests. But, combine all three to host a wedding for 1,000 guests!

If you have a long guest list, this is a dream scenario. Alternately, you might want the ample space so you can make this venue into different event vignettes. For example, one area can be the ceremony space, another can be set up for cocktail hour and so on. With this large of a space, there is no need for a room flip.
