The Surf Club

The Surf Club is an oceanfront event venue in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, offering a memorable coastal setting for weddings, private celebrations, meetings, retreats and milestone gatherings. Established in 1941, the club combines a long-standing local heritage with attractive spaces overlooking the Atlantic.

Event organisers can choose from several distinctive areas depending on the occasion and guest numbers. The clubhouse provides a more formal setting, with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers suited to seated dinners, receptions and special celebrations. The oceanfront deck offers an open-air backdrop for ceremonies, cocktail hours and relaxed gatherings, while the dining rooms are well suited to rehearsal dinners, intimate parties and smaller group occasions.

Weddings are a key part of the venue’s offering, with the beach and ocean providing a naturally striking backdrop for ceremonies and receptions. The Surf Club can also host birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings and other private celebrations, as well as business meetings and company retreats that benefit from a setting away from a conventional conference room.

Food and hospitality form an important part of the experience. Event meals and receptions can be planned with the club’s team and Executive Chef, with menus centred on fresh coastal flavours, local seafood, seasonal ingredients and a choice of more relaxed or refined dining styles. The venue is available to members and their invited guests, making it particularly suited to organisers planning private occasions within an exclusive club environment. Its combination of ocean views, flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, dining expertise and experienced hospitality makes it a distinctive choice for events on the North Carolina coast.
