First, a real person answered the phone call, listened to my situation and welcomed me to the shop where they'd fill the order within minutes. THEY DID ! I left with everything I needed and the group of balloons was a hit ! I shopped around in their store and saw several items that I will be send to my other grandchildren as their birthdays approach. Love, love, love that little shop !!!

The bday boy ( 40 yr old) is gluten free and she was very accommodating. The great was so amazing. She was also able to substitute a few other things and was very flexible. Instead of " love" balloons we got "40" and just a couple other floating balloons. She also was able to switch the champagne for just wine. Got in the room with no problem way before check in. Texted me when it was finished. It turned out way better than expected. Will definitely use them again in the future.

Went with Coastal Bounce for my daughter's 2nd birthday party to provide us with a bouncy house…read more The bouncy house came with a slide attached. The kids had an absolute blast! The slide was brought to us the morning of the party and picked up the next morning. The owner is very easy going with it, unlike a lot of the other places I called as well who have particular hours or rent by the hour (which turned out to be astronomical). We had so much fun! I can't wait to rent another one for our next party!!

They managed the transportation of the items to and from the beach, which made it very easy for us to finish the setup. I used email mostly to communicate my needs and they were very prompt to respond and help me. Their prices were also quite reasonable, plus they were one of the only places I could find that had wedding benches. Their website is very straightforward as far as letting you know the expected prices. If I had to do it again I would definitely go to them first.

My husband and I made the brilliant decision to have Coastal Catering provide their amazing food…read morefor our intimate wedding last night and we couldn't be more thrilled! The food was incredible (mini crab cakes, stuffed mini potatoes, tuna with seaweed salad, and filo cups with Brie for apps and orange glazed chicken and shrimp and grits for the main course). Christie and Joe showed up early, prepared all of the food and made sure everything was set for when we arrived home from the wedding. Joe manned the kitchen while Christie made sure the appetizers kept coming! They even cleaned up the kitchen and put the leftovers in the fridge. We couldn't be happier that we chose Coastal Catering!

Even though our event was probably very small by his usual standards, I felt Joe gave me complete attention during the planning phase, making me feel like he really cared and would do as good a job for our small dinner party- as he would for a wedding of 500! The menu was Top Chef-level creative, the food was beyond delicious- and the presentation was first class all the way. I would recommend Joe and Coastal Catering and Events to anyone, for anything! You will be wowed!

My name is Sunja and I came across Mandy's work online looking for a maternity photographer in…read moreWilmington. Really liked the pictures and reached out. Initially she responded and we were supposed to speak over the phone but I never heard back so I followed up. She then did and we ended up speaking. I asked her to send me an invoice so we can lock in the date but she didn't for a while so I followed up again. She then did. Then the week of our scheduled photoshoot I saw the weather wouldn't be good on our shooting day and I texted her to hop on quick phone call to discuss further and potentially see how we can make it happen or pick a couple other shooting day options. Again no response for days who knows if I didn't reach out maybe longer. I reached out a third and final time to request a refund which I haven't received yet. I'm baffled by the fact that Mandy is running a business and lacking basic good communication, I've been repeatedly experiencing a lack of responsiveness in this short time of working together which has left wondering, kind of stressed and certainly taking all the joy out of it for me all while being in my last trimester of my pregnancy. She specializes in working with pregnant people and new moms, I just don't understand the lack of consideration and professionalism. Save yourself the headache and work with another photographer. I wish I did, now I'm running out of time hoping to find someone else to work with for a maternity shoot while still pregnant all last minute. Quite Upsettin!

It felt like a very bad experience to see all your amazing photos and have them blocked, after a very costly upfront fee. Our family photo shoot ended up costing us $750.

I contacted her via phone, email, text, and Facebook messenger for 2 weeks and got no response. Randomly she sent me an email trying to fix the problem; she offered a partial refund (which we never got) and told me she was closing her business down. The rest of our album was finally uploaded to a website where we could view but not download them, so I contacted her again- this time I got no answer for 6 weeks. I finally had to call the second photographer that she brought for our wedding day to ask him for our pictures. I guess he got the message to her and we had a download toolbar that night. Overall, I would not recommend this woman to anyone as she is unreliable, unprofessional, and does not know how to run a business.
