    The best planner

    Do not plan a wedding on the Outer Banks without using The Proper Setting. Kerri is extremely knowledgeable not only about weddings but about all things in the Outer Banks. She made planning a week long wedding from New Jersey so simple and easy. She checks in frequently to make sure that you’re staying on track every step of the way and always made us feel like our wedding day should be exactly how WE want it to be and for that I couldn’t thank her enough! Stop reading the reviews and book her before someone else does!

    You won’t find anyone better !!

    This was truly the best purchase we made through the whole wedding process. Kerri was the most professional, informative, organized and helpful wedding planner. From start to finish she made us at ease, steered us in the right direction, helped us find all our vendors, gave recommendations and overall made the wedding day so smooth. I would pay for her time and time again. Hardest part is when it’s over, we don’t get to work with each other anymore. Thank you Kerri from the bottom of our hearts.

    Simply the best!

    Kerri and her team supported every aspect of our planning for a destination wedding in OBX. Her knowledge of local vendors and venues helped us make excellent choices, her timeline kept us on track and confident that we could turn our vision into reality. I highly recommend Kerri because not only was she professional, but we enjoyed the entire process of working together. We were able to completely enjoy the wedding day knowing Kerri had everything prepared and knew our goals, hopes and dreams. We couldn't have been more pleased with her team's services! They went above and beyond!
