What do we do if it rains?
Most people want to be outside to enjoy the outdoors because its the OBX. The event tent is meant to provide shelter
even in the worst of weather conditions, from downpours to wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. Typically, if we knew
the weather was going to be inclement about a week out, we would arrange to add more tent sides to provide more
shelter. Having a beach wedding lends itself to a myriad of weather conditions from sun, wind and rain and not always
an ideal amount of each. We've experienced it all and know how to plan accordingly to ensure the best possible outcome
We'll take care of you and the details.
Can I have my rehearsal dinner at Pelican's Landing?
Yes, the large deck on the 2nd floor is perfect for hosting a formal to informal dinner for 50. If you plan to have an event
tent on the lawn, then the day before the wedding is typically when this is set up. We can coordinate together so that
you can host a rehearsal - welcome event on the lawn. There is no extra venue charge for this.
Can I provide my own decoration?
Many couples provide part, if not all, of their own decorations from flowers to lights and lanterns. Its wonderful to see
family and friends work together to make your special day even more special. Pelican's Landing has acquired quite a
few items over time from candy jars, shepherds hooks, tiki torches and votives. Many of these items are available at
no additional charge. We want your event to be the best it can be and love to help where we can.
At the same time, decorating for your wedding is a BIG job even for the most experienced. You may need tools and
equipment like tall ladders and extension cords. If you really want to enjoy your day before your wedding and keep it
stress-free, hire a local professional who knows what's entailed in decorating for a wedding and is prepared to
troubleshoot, as necessary. We can refer you to a professional to fit your needs.
