I am so glad I found this wonderful service!!! My husband and I were in OBX for the week and it was…read morereally great to have time away to play golf and some adult time!!! Maria is very communicative and makes every effort to work with your schedule and needs. I have never used a babysitting service before and was nervous about leaving my two toddler boys with a stranger but Maria was wonderful and they loved her!! She brought toys for them and helped clean up their toys as well at the end of the night. It is absolutely a great idea to get out and this is the best care providers for your kids.

It was a relaxed spot to sit for a bit and also to browse the the lush garden boutique Bough & Vine. There is a weekly summer market where artisans showcase handmade goods, making it a favorite stop for visitors seeking authentic, locally made treasures. Lots to see here and nearby, plus there's easy free parking all around. [Review 811 of 2025 - 4243 in North Carolina - 24371 overall]

I assisted Jennifer Diane with set up and day of coordination for wedding back in 2024. We were the…read moreonly two people from the company on site for the day but all aspects of the wedding were handled in a discreet and timely manner. Jennifer Diane did all florals on her own in addition to making sure the bridal party had what they needed. I helped set up reception tables and did whatever else I was told. There were a few setbacks from the day that we would have never seen coming, as happens with wedding days usually. Though we weren't provided enough cheese cloths for the tables, you would have never known due to the creative thinking of the team and the beautiful set up of the reception. Catering also delivered the bridal party's lunch to the wrong place but Jennifer Diane used her interpersonal skills, kind demeanor and confident authority to make sure no bridesmaid, nor groomsman walked down the aisle hungry. While the DJ worked out sound issues at this outdoor vendor, Jennifer Diane kept the bridal party in place and ready to go while also communicating with attendees in a calm and professional manner. Though any wedding day has its hiccups, Jennifer Diane is the one to handle those hiccups and allow brides and grooms to enjoy their day with little stress over the little things. Jennifer Diane is a joy to be around and even though I was working, I had a fun day - and I know the bride and groom did too! I'd work with Jennifer Diane again in a heartbeat and I recommend you do too!

Jennifer was our daughter's wedding planner. From the beginning planning stages to the end result,…read morethe wedding, she was absolutely amazing. I do not think we could have gotten through it all without her professionalism and dedication. She told us to let her handle things so we could just enjoy the day, and that was the best advice ever. Katie's wedding day was all the things she had wished for and I give credit to Jennifer for that. I recommend her 100% to anyone planning a wedding in the Outer Banks.

Our family is spread out around the country - but every so often we get together and meet at the…read moreOBX. We figured this would be a great time to get family photos done - especially since a year prior our father had passed. I emailed 10-15 people, but Julie was the only one to call to talk through the details. As a new mom with a young one, this went along way (because yeah, I probably would have missed the email). The pricing was also competitive. Definitely worth more :) We worked directly with Eric, and he was AMAZING. We had two infants and a special needs child in our group (again, it was an occasion memorializing your father's passing so tension was high...OH and a lot of family in one place which is always fun). Eric managed it all flawlessly! Anyway our entire group was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of photos and we all found many photos we absolutely love. Getting pictures done is usually not a "fun" thing to do but with Eric and Julie Dreelin' getting photos turned into the highlight of our trip and will be a lastly wonderful memory!

Julie was such a pleasure to work with. My fiancé and I had our engagement photos with her on…read moreCoquina Beach, and WOW my expectations were exceeded. We were both so nervous as we have never had professional photos done, but she made us feel so comfortable! She even let us reschedule twice because it was too cold for us those days, ha! Also, we brought our horse and she was so patient as we had to work around my horse's agenda too (aka walking in front of the camera and grabbing mouthfuls of grass)! She had our photos to us in less than a week and they are sooooo beautiful. I will cherish them for a lifetime. Would give her 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much Julie!
