The Atrium Wedding in Wilmington, NC | Vendors & Reception Videos

I photographed Kelly and Sean’s wedding at The Atrium by Ligon Flynn in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, on November 7, 2026. They had Jazz Blueprints play through the ceremony and cocktail hour, then Eyecon Entertainment took over for the reception. Here are five clips from their courtyard reception and the wedding vendors I’d recommend from their day.

Watch the reception at The Atrium

Courtyard before the toast (19 seconds). The camera pans from the dinner tables to Kelly and Sean beneath white draping and string lights.

Wedding party toasts (22 seconds). A guest takes the microphone beside the couple at the edge of the checkered dance floor.

A toast up close (36 seconds). Guests gather around Kelly and Sean, glasses in hand, against the amber glow of the garden wall.

Glasses up (7 seconds). The guests raise their drinks as the courtyard lights shift from amber to blue.

Open dancing (9 seconds). The floor fills up beneath the string lights as purple lighting gives way to green.
