Lynsi Sent on 12/02/2017We LOVED Sondra. She was so professional, and seriously loves what she does. She had an answer for EVERY question, and made us feel at ease through the entire process. NOTHING went wrong on our day, and we have Sondra to thank for that. If you are on the fence, let this review be your deciding vote! You won't regret it, I promise. -

Marissa C. Sent on 10/04/2021Couldn'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! :)An Outer Banks Affair's reply:
You are so kind. It was a crazy year or two. We loved watching you enjoy your day!
Thank you so much. -

Jessica Sent on 09/10/2021Amazing 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!An Outer Banks Affair's reply:

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! -

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! -

Somdra with OBX Affair was amazing from the beginning to the end. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She followed my exact dream for the perfect beach wedding. She gave advice when needed and was there any time I panicked. She kept everything running smoothly the day of ans kept everyone on track. She worked her butt off setting up for the reception and even added her own touches that made it that much better. I promise that you will not go wrong choosing An Outer Banks Affair to help you with your special day! -

Cierra C. Sent on 07/08/2020Nothing less than amazing
I could have never done this wedding without Sondra! Due to Covid-19 we had to change our date from April to June and eventually moved the wedding from Pirates Cove to Wilmington. Sondra knew the vision I had for our wedding and supported my decision to move the wedding. When I asked her if she would travel to Wilmington, she did not hesitate for a second and immediately was on the phone calling my other vendors to see if they would travel as well. She wanted to make sure that my special day was flawless, stress free, and nothing but amazing. She is absolutely wonderful and makes things happen when they need to. She was on top of everything and made sure every part of the wedding was perfect. She always answered my text messages and phone calls ASAP and made sure that I was not bothered at all on my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better Wedding Planner! I am beyond thankful for all of Sondra's hard work and dedication to making my wedding nothing less than perfect!An Outer Banks Affair's reply:

Carli C. Sent on 06/29/2021Truly 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!!!An Outer Banks Affair's reply:
Thank you so much Carli.
I enjoyed planning every moment of your wedding day.
Blessings to you and your family. -

An Outer Banks Affair -- the best ever!
All of the pre-OBX preparation was orchestrated expertly by Sondra. It would have been impossible to navigate the week without her knowledge and recommendations. Her suggested time frames leading up to the week, vendor recommendations and informative phone calls were most comforting, in our efforts to plan, minimize costs and make decisions. I enjoyed our conversations throughout.
Clearly Sondra was familiar with the Black Stallion, which also was so very helpful. A unique place, well equipped to handle groups such as ours.
Sondra all did an amazing job re-locating all of tables for the reception into the ball room, with the onset of the rain shower. Absolutely incredible. I don't know how she orchestrated that move... but, it was all done as if we had intended it to be there all along. Yes, it all worked. And, by the evening's end... most even made it outside to enjoy the lights!!
It was wonderful working with Sondra, and getting to know her through the process, then finally meeting her at the Black Stallion. And, Shelly, too.
We were so thankful for all of her efforts to help us through the week and especially the wedding. She was terrific. A calming presence, a reliable organizer, and a welcomed lead on our big day.
Thank you very much, indeed. I feel as if we became friends!!
We all are most appreciative of all that Sondra did to make our special wedding in the OuterBanks a wonderful occasion. -

Sondra and her team were amazing. From start to finish our whole wedding was perfect. I’m sure that there were many hiccups in the day but I didn’t know anything about them because Sondra just simply handled it. I can’t thank Sondra enough for all of her hard work to help give us the best day of our lives! -

Jessica Sent on 06/21/2019Best wedding coordinator!
If it wasn’t for Sondra my wedding definitely would not have run smoothly. Sondra was very helpful In my wedding months before the wedding. She had us run through the rehearsal perfectly! We set up everything the night before the wedding and she made the venue for the reception perfect when we came in for the first look pictures. She kept us on time throughout the wedding and make sure to correct any issues that occurred that day. She was truly perfect and I would recommend her. Even if you don’t think you need a coordinator, you should still hire her because she made sure all the final pieces were in place and made m wedding perfect! -

Rachel Sent on 12/16/2018The absolute best!
Sondra is absolutely amazing, and I couldn't imagine having anyone else coordinate my wedding! She responded to my (many) emails very quickly and was so professional. She turned my Pinterest ideas into something even better than I imagined. Our winter wonderland wedding theme was something out of a fairy tale. Sondra is so creative! She also met with me multiple times throughout my engagement when I needed to discuss wedding ideas with her, and she pointed me in the right direction with many of my other vendors. I highly recommend An Outer Banks Affair.
