Palmer Inn Estate is an amazing place for couples to host their big day! The home and grounds are absolutely stunning! As a wedding planner, I'm very excited to see this beautiful home and spacious lawn available for weddings. It is truly first-class, and I'm excited to share this gem with couples looking for an astonishing place for their wedding. The home is like walking through an architectural magazine, perfectly designed furnishing and decor with beautiful artwork showcasing the local rural charm. Palmer Inn Estate checks all of the boxes for an impeccable wedding venue, and it's even a short drive to the beaches of the NC Outer Banks. Couples fortunate enough to find this charming place will "WOW" their guests and certainly won't be disappointed. Diane Nordstrom, Certified Wedding Planner, Nordstrom Events
