The River Forest Manor & Marina, a century-old Victorian mansion poised on the coastal estuary of the Pamlico Sound, Pantego Creek and Pungo River in Belhaven, has undergone an extensive restoration and refurbishment to capture the original beauty and splendor of the historical landmark. Presented in the height of its former glory, the River Forest Manor & Marina is now a premier wedding and event
venue with well-appointed accommodations and an array of rooms featuring private bathrooms and access. Designed to host events small and large, brides and event planners will find the unique space they seek at the River Forest Manor & Marina. The 13,000-square-foot property features large, spacious rooms on the Manor’s main floor and a new catering kitchen expertly designed for food prep for all occasions such as rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and meeting luncheons. The Manor’s River Room offers a full bar and sitting or dining space, which overlooks a wide, partially covered deck with panoramic views of the surrounding coastal waters. The Manor’s 4.34-acre estate is lined with large, established pecan, magnolia and pine trees, well-landscaped flowerbeds and open grassy areas perfect for wedding day festivities and outdoor gatherings. A wraparound front porch with dramatic neoclassical columns and a “haint blue” ceiling add true Southern appeal with an unmatched causal sophistication.
