“The Berkley Manor is a beautiful location in the heart of Ocracoke! They offer everything you'd need for the perfect wedding on the island! Phoebe was so helpful and responsive and would often check-in and ask how planning was going! She helped with other vendors and provided a helpful list of vendors that service Ocracoke. The venue itself was stunning! The manor is beautiful and I am so glad we decided to stay there. It was stunning and so well decorated inside and all the flowers blooming were absolutely beautiful! We had our reception in the barn and it was perfect! It was huge and spacious. You can't beat the location either - The Berkley Manor is walking distance to Ocracoke Coffee, most bars, restaurants and hotels (for the guests!) You can even see the harbor - it was stunning! Our friends and family fell in love with the island! The Berkley Manor (and Phoebe) helped make our wedding absolutely perfect and I cannot recommend them enough!”
