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!

As a career Event Planner, I knew the first step to achieving the wedding day of my dreams was to hire the right team of vendors – most importantly, a Wedding Planner that I could trust. After I got engaged, I immediately hired Coastyle to provide Month of Management, which was both the easiest and most helpful decision I made. Coastyle was extremely responsive and attentive throughout my entire wedding planning process, and when the final month of planning arrived, it was a seamless transition as they took charge of vendor communications and final details. My husband and I live in Kill Devil Hills, and even though we are “beach people”, we envisioned a more unique wedding style in the “off-season”, that functioned more like a fancy dinner party with a moody, Viking inspired theme. We also have two toddlers, and we knew that the flow of the entire day had to be a comfortable fit for our sons, our guests, and ourselves from set-up to getting ready to shoot-schedules to partying (of course!). Coastyle understood the assignment and then some. They bring a powerful combination of a meticulous understanding of the wedding world in Outer Banks, partnered with so many well-developed relationships with the local vendors. Coastyle contributed extremely helpful planning comments and ideas, which was such a treat during the planning process because it felt like a collaboration with my own personal hype squad. The attention to detail during set-up and the flow of the evening removed stress and worry, and it allowed my husband and I (and all our guests) to just enjoy the entire evening as we moved through each piece of the night. We had a very specific layout to fully utilize the indoor space in our venue, which required a well-planned set-up and flow throughout the night…to say they “nailed it” would be an understatement, because they owned it and delivered the “wow factor” that I wanted for myself and our guests. Aside from my own personal engagement with Coastyle, many of my guests commented on how extremely kind and helpful they were onsite with questions and guidance throughout the day and night. If you’re searching for someone with organization, dedication, creativity and integrity to plan and manage your wedding (whether you live in Outer Banks or anywhere in the country), booking Coastyle will be the easiest and most rewarding part of your planning journey.

Samantha and Taylor are absolutely a DREAM team!!! I booked them for month of coordination because I am local to the Outer Banks and my only regret of my entire wedding is that I did not book them for full service. They kept in touch with me from the beginning and offered their opinion on vendors and even found us the best DJ/Band EVER. The entire process was smooth and felt seamless and they worked so well with all of my vendors. They calmed my nerves right before I walked down the aisle and I will forever remember that moment and be thankful for them. Their attention to details is unmatched. I am so happy with my decision to use them and would recommend them to anyone!
