Capacity & Layout
Carolina Colours Pavilion gives couples a scenic, flexible setting anchored by the Social Pavilion at the Activity Campus, home to the Grand Gathering Room for weddings and larger community events, along with the Sports Bar & Grill. Couples can set their wedding outdoors, overlooking the community’s three-acre lake and the golf course’s ninth green, for a picturesque ceremony, then celebrate in the Grand Gathering Room. A bridal suite lets the couple and their party get ready away from the hustle and bustle while still just a few steps from where the ceremony takes place. That layout lets couples exchange vows lakeside, then move into the Pavilion for the reception, giving the day a natural flow with a genuine weather plan. That combination of a lakeside ceremony setting, a Grand Gathering Room, a bridal suite, and a golf-course backdrop suits intimate to mid-size weddings, keeping the celebration scenic and connected from the ceremony through the last dance in New Bern.
Amenities
Carolina Colours Pavilion pairs its scenic setting with genuinely welcoming, community-based amenities. As the community clubhouse for Carolina Colours, the Pavilion is available for weddings and special occasions even for those who do not own property in the community, and it includes a convenient bridal suite steps from the ceremony site, along with the on-site Sports Bar & Grill. The three-acre lake, the golf course’s ninth green, and the scenic community grounds give photographers a beautiful, natural range of backdrops that need little added decor. For the entertainment, the enclosed Grand Gathering Room gives a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception fills the space and the dance floor stays lively at a scenic New Bern community pavilion.
Location & Getting There
Carolina Colours Pavilion sits within the Carolina Colours community in New Bern, North Carolina, overlooking a three-acre lake and golf course. That location is a genuine advantage for a wedding weekend, since guests coming from New Bern, Havelock, and the surrounding Craven County area have a short drive, and Coastal Carolina Regional Airport is convenient for anyone flying in, while downtown New Bern offers hotels, restaurants, and historic attractions for out-of-town guests. The location keeps everything convenient and easy to plan around. Yet the Pavilion’s lakeside setting, golf-course views, and scenic community grounds give the property a peaceful, picturesque feel once you arrive. That combination of a scenic community pavilion with a convenient New Bern location is a big part of what draws couples to Carolina Colours Pavilion.
