Wedding DJ at Loblolly Estate in Jarvisburg, NC

The Space

Thirty-one acres on the Currituck Sound make up Loblolly Estate, built around a colonial-style main house and the Wescott Barn, a climate-controlled reception space with neutral white walls and 14 chandeliers hanging overhead. The white walls are a deliberate blank canvas: the room is designed to take on whatever color scheme or lighting a couple brings in, rather than a barn’s usual exposed wood setting the tone for you.

The grounds give you a choice of ceremony settings beyond the barn: Magnolia Meadow, Marsh View, a gazebo, and the backyard are all listed as outdoor options, each with its own sightline toward the water or the property’s mature landscaping. A separate groom’s cabin sits on the estate’s pond, where fishing is a listed activity, so the groom’s side of the wedding party has somewhere to wait out the morning that is not just a room down the hall from the bride.

Capacity & Layout

The Wescott Barn holds 150 guests, which sets the practical ceiling for a seated reception here even though the grounds themselves are large. Total meeting room space across the property is listed at 2,850 square feet, so couples planning past 150 need to think in terms of tented additions on the lawn rather than a bigger indoor room, since the barn itself is the fixed indoor footprint.

The rental includes white resin chairs for an outdoor ceremony plus Chiavari chairs, six farmhouse tables, and two moveable bars for the reception, which covers the core furniture without a separate rental company. Access to the barn and grounds begins the day before the wedding for setup, deliveries, and rehearsal, so vendors are not racing to build the room on the wedding morning itself, and a rehearsal can happen in the actual ceremony spot rather than a stand-in.

Amenities

The second-floor bridal suite has four hair and makeup stations, a lounge, a sitting area, and a private veranda that looks out over the Currituck Sound, so getting ready happens with the same water view that shows up later in ceremony photos. There is no on-site catering; outside caterers are welcome but need to secure their own ABC license, since the venue itself does not hold one.

Two moveable bars come with the rental, and tent rental is available if you want added cover for the lawn or extra capacity beyond the barn. Parking is ample and staffed with attendants, the property is ADA and ACA accessible, and event liability insurance with a minimum combined single limit of $1,000,000 is required, standard for a waterfront property hosting outdoor ceremonies.

Location & Getting There

Jarvisburg sits minutes from the Wright Memorial Bridge and the entrance to the Outer Banks, so guests flying or driving in for a beach-adjacent wedding weekend have an easy last leg to the venue. Wi-Fi is available on site, useful for vendors and for guests who want to share the day as it happens.

Peak season runs March through October, though the estate also books events November through February for couples who want a quieter, off-season date on the Sound. Alcohol service ends at 9:30pm and all music and events must be off by 10pm, a firmer curfew than some venues, which means the reception timeline gets built to land the last dance well before that cutoff. Inside the climate-controlled barn, the neutral white room and 14 chandeliers create a contained, indoor sound environment that carries a DJ setup cleanly, while outdoor ceremonies at Marsh View or the gazebo call for a lighter, more directional system given the open water views around them.
