The backstory - our destination wedding got cancelled twice due to COVID and on a whim, 6 weeks out from the date, we decided to book a house in OBX and throw a wedding. By luck of the Instagram algorithm I had been following Coastyle Events for some time and when we booked the house I knew our day wouldn’t be perfect without them. I was super lucky that they agreed to squeeze us onto their calendar for month of services. Samantha and Taylor’s guidance pointed us in the right direction to secure all of our vendors last minute and their recommendations were spot on. They handled all of the final communication and little details that you just don’t want to be thinking about on the day of your wedding like should we bump that table 4 feet to the left or are we sure all the place settings are complete? They handled the hiccups we knew about like having the wrong rum in the signature drink or someone getting a cut and needing a bandaid - to all the ones we didn’t know even happened. We had a friend tell us weeks after the fact that these ladies helped them sew up a hole in their dress the day of the wedding! They were discreetly making sure everything was perfect and with their help, it truly was. Beyond them being awesome at their jobs every call or conversation I had with them was wonderful. They are so kind, responsive and thoughtful! I’m the type of person who thinks I can do everything myself but for your own wedding you shouldn’t have to! You should hire Samantha and Taylor to take care of it all and enjoy the experience. You will not regret it!

When my wife and I first started planning our wedding, I knew that we would need help with all of the small details, and therefore decided we would need to hire a wedding planner. My good friend got married in OBX a few years ago and highly recommended her planner. LUCKY FOR US, Coastyle was willing to travel to our wedding in NY and after just a few minutes during our inital meeting, I knew they were the right team for us. Needless to say, we made the right decision- they were AMAZING!!

We decided to go for the "month of wedding" plan, where the team started being hands-on 30 days before the wedding. They took over all of the communication with our vendors and everything went as smoothly as possible! Any questions that we had, they responded within an hour of reaching out, they reminded us about small details we needed to take care of and even helped us do some research into in identifying a last minute vendor.

Fast forward to our wedding weekend, and we could not have been more impressed. Everything ran SO smoothly (and if it didn't we had zero idea, LOL). Rebecca and Gentry were calm, organized, so sweet to our guests and vendors and just made the whole day stress free for us.

Perhaps the most impressive part was the days after our weddings, all of our vendors reached out and mentioned how great Coastyle was to work with! The head of the inn that we were married at said 'if they were local they would be our go-to wedding coordinator recommendation" which is high praise in my opinion.

All I can say is, this team was AMAZING and hiring them was the best decision we made! I am so grateful for Rebecca and Gentry and cannot recommend them enough!!!

Hiring Coastyle is like planning your wedding with your best friends who don't get tired of hearing about your crazy ideas or problems or breakdowns, and who happen to also have incredible style and taste. They take the time to get to know you personally and what you really want your wedding to be about, which is an absolutely priceless gift (especially at the end) when you are decision fatigued and running out of steam. I completely trusted that they knew me and knew what I would want at every step of the process.

When I walked into our wedding for the first time, it was like they somehow took the dream wedding in my head (that I wasn't even sure I had accurately described to them in enough detail) and pasted it onto our venue, plus extra things I didn't even know I needed or wanted. Several of our friends and family said that it was basically like I threw up and a perfect wedding came out (sorry for the visual, but it was) and they were completely responsible for making that happen..

They allowed my husband and I and our families to completely enjoy the day and it was literally the happiest, most pure bliss I've probably felt in my entire life and I could never have had that if it wasn't for Coastyle and the passion and expertise they bring to everything they do. We got endless compliments on how wonderful and easy they made our day from our guests.

As soon as I stepped foot to our venue, I got to turn my brain off and let them take it from there, which is a truly priceless experience and I am so incredibly grateful I chose them. I know wedding planning is expensive, but if you're going to splurge on something, make it them. Just do it. You'll thank yourself later, I promise. They made our day not only my aesthetic dream but emotionally the most perfect day I could've ever imagined.
