Downtown Convention Center hosts first ever wedding reception

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Break out the bubbly and get ready to break it down on the dance floor… wedding season has begun!

The Downtown Convention Center’s first ever wedding reception took place Saturday. Brooke and Brian Terry’s guests enjoyed a cocktail hour then moved into the grand ballroom for the real party.

Mr. And Mrs. Terry’s ceremony took place at Grace United Methodist Church, but they wanted a more modern feel for their seashell-themed reception. The couple said the Convention Center could not have been a more perfect addition to their perfect day.

“We are the first ones, the first of all. It feels great. I think they’ve definitely gone above and beyond and put on a wonderful event for us, and we’re really thrilled,” said Terry.

Bride Brooke agreed that the Convention Center will do whatever they can to make your day special. The couple danced the night away and enjoyed food from the Convention Center’s own catering company.

The Terrys leave for their honeymoon to Antigua Monday morning.
