Shirley Anne is amazing. My hubby and I loved her!! We had her as our officiant but we just…read morediscovered she does event planning as well... oh how I would have loved to use her services for the event planning. She would have been magnificant. Shirley Anne was kind, attentive, outgoing and talkative with our families. Just perfect for us and our small wedding. She even added an unexpected poem for us to make our ceremony a little more special and she went out and brought herself a beautiful yellow jacket to go with our wedding colors. Shirley Anne was pheonominal and I would recommend her to any and everyone getting married in the OBX area.

We had Heather and her team help with our wedding in October 2013 in Corolla NC. We hired them…read morejust for the day. We did all the pre planning, etc and coordinating. That being said with them just coming in that weekend they did an amazing job of putting everything in the right place, making sure everything ran smooth, etc. I highly recommend them. Even in the pre planning she was organized to have pictures, contact info, contracts etc of all the vendors we were using and our plans. This helped everything wrong very smoothly. Even if we had different visions of the day she made our day our day. My husband and I wanted to break a lot of traditions from the traditional wedding because that wasn't us and we wanted our wedding focused on amazing food and time with our loved ones. Not long drawn out boring toast, silly garter tosses (especially since our single guys at the wedding were 30 plus and our single girls were 18 and under EEEWW or make my one college friend really feel like the only one not married yet...mean!) She adjusted to well to our different style and made the day perfect. Weather changed constantly throughout the week. One thing we didn't think of was high tide for a beach ceremony but she was able to have everything set up perfectly and it was different than normal so we loved it. She even suggested walls to the tent which was perfect because we had a light drizzle of rain during our cocktail hour but then she opened during the dancing part because it wasn't raining anymore and it got hot in there. But she did it and we didn't have to worry. My parents were very impressed with her work. We only had one mistake happen and that was the kids weren't fed dinner during cocktail hour therefore the kids table didn't get turned into an adult table for dinner. We were only 2 seats short but its was my sisters and they improvised. But that was mis communication and planning. Def recommend. If I could have afforded it/willing to pay for full service I would recommend her for the whole time.

I can't recommend OBX Party Bus enough for anyone looking to pub crawl and experience the vibrant…read moreenergy of OBX! Unlike other party buses I've been on, this one stood out with a longer ride and three fun bar stops where we got to enjoy drinks! Alex was truly the highlight of the night. He's not only a fantastic guide, but also incredibly kind, personable, and genuinely fun to hang out with. He stayed with us at every stop and made the entire experience feel personal and unforgettable. This was, hands down, the best party bus I've ever done, and the perfect activity to celebrate my bestie's bachelorette party. We had an absolute blast and I would 100% do it again. Thank you, LuAnn and Alex!

Terry and Sarah shot both our engagement and wedding and we had a wonderful experience for both!…read more It was raining off and on the day of the engagement photos and they were very flexible with us, but luckily it ended up clearing up and we were able to do the shoot. They made us feel very comfortable right away and took a variety of pictures. We ended up going out for a drink after and had so much fun just chatting away with them! On our wedding day, Sarah came to where I was getting ready and Terry went to shoot the groom and his party. Right away I was excited to see her and she took lots of great pictures of all of the details, such as my bouquet, hair, jewelry, shoes, etc. The pictures of the ceremony are beautiful and they got every angle, even capturing the rainbow we had that day! Sadly, it started pouring about 10 minutes after the ceremony, so we had to finish the pictures inside. Even though they all are amazing, we were sad that we did not get as many outdoor/beach pictures as we wanted (obviously not their fault). But, they were able to get SO many great pictures of the speeches, table settings, food, dancing and lots of action shots. They also offered to let us put our wedding attire back on the next day or pick another weekend to do that and get our beach pictures. Even though it was so nice of them to offer this, we felt like we would always know that wasn't our actual wedding day and opted to get our beach pictures during our honeymoon in Hawaii (see my profile for a review of an another amazing photographer!). We would definitely recommend Terry & Sarah to anyone!

From the owner: We are a husband and wife photography team, and we love what we do!…read more Sarah grew up on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, in Kitty Hawk, and Terry re-located to the Outer Banks in 2004. We met in 2006, married in 2007, and proceeded to move to Florida. We spent just over 4 years in Florida, during which Terry decided to take his love for photography to the next level. He started Terry Kyle Photography and had a blast working with clients and learning new skills. After tagging along as a second shooter for a wedding, Sarah took the best photo of the day and was hooked! When we decided to move back to the Outer Banks in early 2012 we decided it was time for a name change. We then launched Terry & Sarah Photography and we love capturing photos for both portrait and wedding photography back on our beautiful OBX! We take great pride in our work, always striving to improve ourselves while making our clients happy. And we love a little friendly competition between ourselves to see

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!
