The best wedding planner in obx

Keri turned our wedding dreams into reality with impeccable responsiveness and attention to detail. With only five months to plan, she swooped in and made everything fall into place. Her ability to find deals, read every contract, and execute my complex vision seamlessly was beyond impressive. Thank you, Keri, for being the best on this beach!
