The wedding of our dreams!!

Sondra was incredible! We never been to the Outer Banks so hiring a planner was a must. She was kind and patient throughout the whole process. She recommended the best vendors and together they gave us the wedding of our dreams! If you are looking for a stress free wedding day I highly recommend her!

Worth Every Penny!

Sondra & Hope were incredible help at our wedding!! We hired them for day of & they were the extra hands & eyes we needed to help our day go as smooth as possible. They were very accommodating and even helped us with extra things outside of their job description. We loved them & I HIGHLY recommend!! Don’t over think it, hire them as your planner/coordinator!

Couldn't have done it without Sondra!

I met Sondra in Jan 2019 at the OBX Wedding Expo and knew immediately there was no one I'd rather have coordinate my wedding. With an original date in October 2020, we were one of the COVID weddings that needed to be postponed due to regulations at the time. When I called Sondra crying, she put me at ease, found a new date that worked for all my vendors, and made sure I received all the contracts. When we needed to postpone another time, she made the process seamless again. When my florist unexpectedly canceled, Sondra searched high and low for a new florist so that I wouldn't stress about it. By the time we got to the wedding, there was no doubt in my mind that Sondra would make it the most perfect day! Between coordinating our vendors, wrangling all of the wedding party, managing our families, and executing my vision to a tee, I'm convinced that Sondra must be super-human! When searching for a wedding coordinator, it's important to find someone you can trust to execute the best day of your life seamlessly. If I were to go through the wedding planning process again, there's no one I'd trust more than Sondra coordinating! :)

Excellent team

Sondra with An Outerbanks Affair and Hope with Hope and Honey Design Company are the perfect team. As individual companies I would rate them an A but together they are A+!
It is so comforting when you can just enjoy your day and not have to worry about all the details. That’s what An Outerbanks Affair is all about. From the planning stages all the way through to the last dance of the night they were a pleasure to work with. I was so caught up in the moment of our wedding I didn’t even realize all that the team was doing but afterwards it hit me just how hard they worked at helping us enjoy our special day. The decorations turned out just perfect and we especially appreciated how they worked with us and our budget. Sondra and team also helped coordinate with other vendors and really put our minds at ease from beginning to end. If you are planning an Outerbanks wedding you won’t be disappointed with this company. They know all the contacts and have relationships with a lot of vendors in the area. Heck they even joined us for a dance or two. They were very professional and so much fun at the same!

Amazing service!

Sondra and her team were amazing from start to finish! She helped to ensure no detail was missed and assisted all day with décor and ensuring everything went without a hitch! I could not have done it without them! I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Outer Banks and live out of town. They were more then just helpful and worth every penny!
Thank you, Sondra and Hope!

The groom said it was like something out of a Disney Movie!

Thank you so much for making my daughter's wedding day absolutely spectacular! I could not have done it without you. You made the planning process simple as you coordinated with all of the vendors. The decorations were stunning and your attention to detail was amazing. The little extras did not go unnoticed. At the end of the night, the groom said it was like something out of a Disney movie. Thank you again! I would recommend you to anyone looking to plan an event!

Peace if mind

Sondra was my day of coordinator. She was very responsive and helpful. She made me venue look even more amazing than I thought it would! I had an original.date that had to be moved due to covid and she helped with all of those details also. It was so nice to be able to focus on spending time getting ready and being present and not having to worry about all the last.minute details!

Truly positive experience!

I cannot emphasize how much stress Sondra took off my shoulders the day of my wedding as well as orchestrating and implementing a smooth and informative rehearsal! She rallied my large group of family and friends and my various large boxes of decor and my wedding day went so well I felt like I had done everything that I wanted to do, myself- but instead I was getting married and enjoying my day! She is a great listener and even better advisor! I couldn’t have had my wedding day without her- well I quite possibly could have, but it would have probably been disasterous! I highly recommend Sondra for planning and organizing your OBX Wedding day too!!!

Went above and beyond!

Sondra is the absolute best. She is there for you from step one all the way to the finish line. She is super organized, knowledgeable and will go over the moon to make sure your event is perfect. Planning the wedding could feel overwhelming at times, but she made sure everything was taken care of and made it a fun and easy experience. Even with all of the hiccups due to Covid-19 she made sure we had everything we wanted and more. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to all of her hard work. You couldn't find a better wedding planner. Love you Sondra!

Great wedding planner

Sondra was an excellent wedding planner! Originally, my husband & I planned to get married in May 2020, but we had to postpone due to COVID. Sondra was great at helping us with a new date, finding out all of the new rules/regulations, & overall handling our vendors. The day of went so smoothly, I didn’t worry about a thing. She was great to work with - highly recommend!

Great vendor!

Coordinating a wedding is no easy task. Sondra somehow pulls it off and does so in a very caring and detailed way. I've only seen her to be personally involved in making sure the bride is happy and well taken care of . I also count her as a good friend, and can absolutely recommend her to you as someone with integrity, skills, and big heart.
