Coastyle Weddings & Events

If more stars were available to give, these ladies deserve them all!! I cannot say enough about how wonderful of an experience it was to work with Coastyle Weddings & Events to plan our special day. First, and most importantly, Samantha & Taylor are beautiful people who sincerely have you and your partner’s best interest at heart, making you feel safe and at-ease when entrusting them with your wedding day. For someone who could endlessly belabor over countless options, having experts guide you to the best possible vendors for your needs is an unmatchable service! They made the biggest, most difficult decisions seem like a breeze and held our hands every step of the way as we navigated the minutia. As for the wedding day, every one of my wildest dreams came true, and it was a treat to have them there throughout the day to seamlessly guide us through, allowing us to enjoy the culmination of a year’s worth of planning and all those who came to celebrate with us. I cannot count how many people told me during and after the wedding that it was the most beautiful event they had ever been to - and credit goes to Coastyle!!!

Samantha, Taylor, and Gentry are true professionals and just lovely people in general to work with. The wedding planning process can be overwhelming, but from day 1 almost a year out from my wedding, they made me feel like I was taken care of. As a new bride, I had trouble fully articulating how I imagined my wedding, but they were amazing at taking my half formed ideas and transforming them into the most beautiful wedding day I could have imagined. They truly listen to make sure they are understanding your vision, all while providing support based on their extensive knowledge. Their vendor recommendations were spectacular and their day of coordination was extremely organized and smooth. They go above and beyond in every aspect, thinking of every single detail, and we truly cannot recommend them enough. We will miss our Coastyle email notifications for sure, but will always cherish the memories they helped create.

Hiring Coastyle is like planning your wedding with your best friends who don't get tired of hearing about your crazy ideas or problems or breakdowns, and who happen to also have incredible style and taste. They take the time to get to know you personally and what you really want your wedding to be about, which is an absolutely priceless gift (especially at the end) when you are decision fatigued and running out of steam. I completely trusted that they knew me and knew what I would want at every step of the process. They extremely responsive and available no matter how trivial your concern or question may seem, they are there with you through every step of the process. They made the process so painless, there is 0 chance I would've survived the process without them. When I walked into our wedding for the first time, it was like they somehow took the dream wedding in my head (that I wasn't even sure I had accurately described to them in enough detail) and pasted it onto our venue, plus extra things I didn't even know I needed or wanted. Several of our friends and family said that it was basically like I threw up and a perfect wedding came out (sorry for the visual, but it was) and they were completely responsible for making that happen.. They allowed my husband and I and our families to completely enjoy the day and it was literally the happiest, most pure bliss I've probably felt in my entire life and I could never have had that if it wasn't for Coastyle and the passion and expertise they bring to everything they do. We got endless compliments on how wonderful and easy they made our day from our guests. As soon as I stepped foot to our venue, I got to turn my brain off and let them take it from there, which is a truly priceless experience and I am so incredibly grateful I chose them. I know wedding planning is expensive, but if you're going to splurge on something, make it them. Just do it. You'll thank yourself later, I promise. They made our day not only my aesthetic dream but emotionally the most perfect day I could've ever imagined.

These ladies have it all. They were the absolute backbone to my perfect wedding day. As a bride who struggled with creative expression, overthinking and high stress…. They were everything. They helped me create the vision I had in my head and always kept me calm and never worrying because I knew they had everything managed. They reached out to every vendor for us, set up meetings and handled all communications leading up to the wedding. They attended those meetings and took notes for us and would make sure to send a recap email afterwords to everyone. Not having to worry about these things was an immense relief for us. We knew if we ever had a question about anything, even the smallest detail- we could shoot them an email and they would get back to us ASAP with their expert opinion. These ladies became like family to us in this process. Not only are they incredible wedding planners but they are incredible people. Their spunk, charisma, and kindness were just the cherry on top with them. I can’t overstate how essential these ladies were to us. They were the most important part of our wedding and we, without a doubt, couldn’t have done it without Samantha and Taylor. They are spectacular!

Let's face it. Weddings are expensive. You will need to pick where you want your "wow" factor to be and some things you will need to let go of. But make no mistake your most important decision is a full service wedding planner who knows your vendors, can coordinate and negotiate on your behalf and pull off flawless execution on your wedding day. Without this none of the magic will happen! Coastyle Events was the first and most important decision we made. We are "blown away" with how they took our daughter's vision and turned it into reality. It was way beyond our expectations and we enjoyed every minute because there was absolutely no worry about the details. Coastyle worked tirelessly to ensure the day was perfect! We can thank you enough Taylor and Samantha!💕

The Coastyle team was an amazing experience. They were positive and professional through the planning as well as the day of the event. They made us feel as if our wedding was the event of the year. Would highly recommend, the day went off without issue and expectations where exceeded.

These women are totally dedicated to what they do and pour their hearts into their clients. When planning a wedding you will need lots of support. No matter how much you think you can do it on your own or want to save money, it's so much better to trust these experienced ladies who will take good care of you so you can enjoy everything. We were so impressed with all that they did and are forever grateful to have had them!

My wife and I worked with the Coastyle Team for our destination wedding and welcome dinner, and they were amazing to work with & made planning from afar very easy. Sam, Taylor and Gentry were diligent in their work, prompt for every meeting and event, and were exceptionally organized. They paid attention to every detail and had thorough questions to ensure the weekend was exactly what we envisioned. Their familiarity with other vendors was extremely helpful as they communicated and coordinated with them for each of our events. The team also built out a thorough timeline for us and our vendors for both days, and provided a platform to use that was easy to navigate and helped with the planning. During the weekend, they were engaged and present, supportive for any issues or questions we had. By the end of our time with them, we felt like they were a part of the family by and even took the time at the end of the night to take a photo for our guest book and had some heartfelt things to say. They were BEYOND INCREDIBLE and we would recommend them to anyone considering a wedding in the Outer Banks. If you choose the Coastyle Team, you will be in fantastic hands for your special day!

COASTYLE is incredible in every aspect you can imagine. Whatever I needed, you name it, these girls got it done! I was a month of bride and planned an OBX wedding from Maryland. I had a lower wedding budget and worked with a lot of vendors. They managed all the points of contact beautifully. I also had a ton of DIY aspects that they conquered the set up on! They gave countless recommendations and tips on vendors/things in the area since I wasn't from OBX. They made our timeline and prioritized US, THE BRIDE AND GROOM, the day of! From a bride that has anxiety I can honestly say that my wedding day was a day I remained stress free. I had time with the people that matter so much to me and I will forever be grateful to Coastyle for this! I woke up the day after our wedding (after way too much partying) and rolled over to my bouquet placed so sweetly in a vase, with water, on the table next to me. This is just one explain of how they truly took care of all the little things. My only regret was not booking them as full service wedding planners! I would recommend any couple to really prioritize your wedding planner and work them into your budget. They truly are your right hand girls! They made the day so much fun!! GO BOOK THEM!!

Wow! Where do we even begin with Coastyle! From the moment I saw Coastyle in action when they were working with of my best friend’s weddings back in June of 2021, I was blown away by their incredible ability to handle every single detail of her wedding, taking every bit of stress off of her while setting up for the wedding, helping all vendors, organize any and everything to get things ready on time and to make her day absolutely perfect. They take wedding planning to a whole new level from every meeting, venue walk through, tastings, phone calls, FaceTimes, countless emails and texts they were always there, going above and beyond for us. They brought my wedding vision to life and did it even better than my expectations. I will never be able to say thank you enough. I called them my life savers multiple times throughout the wedding planning process. They did even more for us than our contract stated because they cared so deeply to make our wedding day picture perfect. We hired Samantha & Taylor to be our wedding planners but they became our family over the years of working together from being in weddings they worked for and from planning our own wedding. When our wedding had past it was so emotional for me knowing I wouldn’t be able to talk with them daily like I had the last year because they truly made our dream wedding come to life and they’re both such kind, talented, hardworking women. Their dedication to every part of our wedding planning took so much weight off of my shoulders considering I couldn’t do it with two busy children and a life we had already started before we got married. My advice for any upcoming brides thinking about booking Coastyle, DO IT. I would’ve never met the majority of my vendors, my dream wedding venue, and had the most beautiful wedding if it wasn’t for Coastyle. They’re more than just wedding planners. They’re people who care about two people falling in love and having the wedding of their dreams come to life. They will always hold a special place in my heart and they will always be our family. The Cummings family loves you Coastyle! Keep slaying this thing called wedding planning!

We are a destination couple, married in September 2022 and there is no way our wedding would have been the success that it was without Sam and Taylor! They are a powerhouse duo that think of it all. They are extremely knowledgeable, personable, and handle everything with grace. They think of EVERYTHING. From the big moments to small details. Even our guests and family complimented how they kept everything on track and didn’t miss a beat. Their preferred vendor list is filled with only the best of the best in OBX, their communication is quick/helpful, and they made what could have been a stressful process FUN! I had a million questions and they always answered, provided their expert opinion, and kept in mind what was important to us. They also have a monthly newsletter and post great content on their Instagrams for inspiration. They go above and beyond and really care about making your wedding day perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your help. HIRE COASTYLE! It will be the best decision you make while planning your big day!

There are no words to describe the professionalism, organization, and kindness that the ladies of Coastyle deliver. My family surprised me with them as our wedding planners for my birthday, after I spent months stalking their incredibly aesthetic Instagram, and it was truly the most incredible gift I could have ever received. Samantha and Taylor took my entire Pinterest board and brought it to life. (In fact, they exceeded ALL of my visions.) They made wedding planning SO enjoyable and seamless and truly provided the most luxurious experience. We simply could not have asked for better wedding planners and cannot recommend them enough. While there are truly no words to convey how amazing these ladies are, know that they have forever touched the hearts of my husband and I. We will cherish every email exchange, Zoom call, and meeting we had with them in our hearts forever, as we attribute every part of our perfect day to their planning and dedication. Do yourself a favor and book these beautiful ladies. They are worth every dime and more!

Where do we even begin? I could truly write a novel on how invaluable Samantha and Taylor are. We could not have done this wedding without them. We have been working with them for almost 2 years, we did an in person visit with them and they took us to every vendor and location and made it so fun! They shared their genuine opinions and found us the dream team of vendors that fit our style and vision for our wedding day. We then came back with our family 4 months later and a year before the wedding and did another in person meeting with them and more vendors- it is truly a full service experience! What started as a business relationship truly turned into a friendship. Samantha and Taylor ended up feeling like family, to the point where we will call them every time we come in town to visit. Coastyle genuinely cares about their clients, and their entire planning experience. Besides loving them as people, professionally, you will not find a better duo than Samantha and Taylor. They were 100% honest with us and so organized. Wedding planning can feel so overwhelming, especially doing it half way across the country and Coastyle made it look and feel effortless. They captured my style and personality instantly and made what felt like the impossible possible. The wedding day was 100% seamless. Coastyle spent so much time on the logistics and timeline.I loved every detail of my wedding, and although it was truly beautiful, the logistics of the day was what most important to us and our guests and why it was such a successful event. We truly did not have to worry about a single thing. We were instantly moved to the next location or event. I remember standing on the dance floor as the wedding cake was being walked out to us and turning to my husband and saying woah I forgot about this- it was like magic. I never felt like I was worried about people and things being in the right places. I cannot stress enough how amazing Taylor and Samantha were at making the day flawless. It felt like a movie. Taylor and Samantha understand the importance of your wedding day. They make you feel completely validated in every worry and decision. They are the behind the scenes DREAM TEAM. You wont find two wedding planners who are more dedicated, genuine, and professional than Coastyle. My biggest piece of advice to any bride would be to hire a full service wedding planner specifically COASTYLE! We miss them already.

Samantha and Taylor are AMAZING! It was an absolute pleasure working with these girls for my destination wedding in Corolla, NC. They made my planning so simple and my wedding day stress-free. Not only are they good at what they do but they are so genuine, kind, and willing to go above and beyond for their clients. If you are looking for planners that are dedicated to making your day one of a kind go with Coastyle!!

Samantha and Taylor are IT! We were married in November. From the start, we knew we'd have a busy year competing for vendors with couples who had to cancel or postpone the previous year due to Covid. These ladies were ready to rock the first time we spoke with them, and they consistently made us feel heard, which eased so much of our anxiety! On top of that, we ourselves had a wild year of starting new jobs and moving to a new city (something we DON'T recommend doing while also planning a wedding!), but these girls made it so seamless- answering all of our questions, and doing magic behind the scenes, even when we were often pretty bad about staying on schedule. We're both NC natives but now live in California, so we went with their full-service package since it can be incredibly difficult to plan a wedding on the opposite coast. We cannot recommend them enough! They covered all the bases and helped us build a kick-ass vendor team. If you're like us and not so great at event planning, you absolutely MUST hire these ladies. Our wedding was outdoors, and the weather decided to drop about 20 degrees and the wind turned into gusts (which totally freaked me out), but Samantha and Taylor were so calm and came prepared to tackle anything. I want to also acknowledge how kind and understanding these two are. Samantha and Taylor were so gracious and totally cucumber cool when we had some family drama day of the wedding. The passion they have for this work, and the genuine interest they have in YOUR day are so real! These ladies know what they're doing, and you can rest assured that you are in great hands with them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for turning our dream day into reality.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Samantha and Taylor! We live in VA and wanted to get married on the Outer Banks during our October vacation. It was just the two of us (we eloped), and we needed someone to help us plan our wedding. We were thrilled when we found out Coastyle did elopements! Samantha and Taylor were responsive right from the start, and after our first phone call we knew we had picked the right planners. They provided us with a list of their preferred vendors and made suggestions based on what we wanted our wedding to be. They asked so many questions and made us think about things we hadn't even considered. And I thought I was detail-oriented but Samantha and Taylor put me to shame! They were on top of all the details, all the time. I can only imagine how terrific they would also be for a larger wedding. If you're hesitant about hiring a planner because you think you don't need one, please reconsider. Samantha and Taylor made my life so much easier, I don't know what I would have done without them!

Y’all - if you are planning a wedding anywhere these amazing ladies are a MUST. My biggest regret was not being able to hire them from the start. We chose a venue (Sanderling Resort) in OBX that came with a coordinator but then decided we needed extra help for month and day of planning. These women are everything. Wedding ninjas is an understatement! Once the 30 day countdown started (and even before) they were on it. We got to enjoy the last month of being engaged without planning - imagine if I had them from the start. Taylor and Samantha - thank you for everything you did! You made our wedding day stress free so that we could soak in every moment! We are forever grateful - it brings me to tears how thankful we are for you! Amazing work!

Hiring the ladies from Coastyle was honestly one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. Samantha and Taylor are both so kind and helpful, and they are strong and reassuring during the stressful moments. Having COVID a month before the wedding wasn't ideal, but they helped us work out all of the last minute detail. Our day of was a fairy tale, they captured our vision so perfectly and they kept us on our timeline so that our day could be stress free. Definitely recommend using Coastyle to help with all of your planning needs- especially if all the details stress you out!

The #1 piece of advice other brides gave me was that I needed a day of planner. I gawked at spending that kind of money for something I could surely do myself, but set my pride down and said “fine” IF I CAN GIVE YOU ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT IS GET A DAY OF PLANNER. I am a project manager at an event planning software company. I can plan an event. As a bride, you will reach a point that you are on the verge of a mental breakdown and just need some help. They FLUNG into action gracefully and pulled EVERY. SINGLE. LITTLE. THING. together. We had a COVID wedding that they made so easy to switch. We chatted on the phone and I gave them all of my vendor details. I thought I had thought of everything, but they reminded me of so many little things that I had overlooked like signage, a flower girl basket, etc. Of course I had already sent my invitations when they told me that 5 hours is pretty normal for a ceremony and wedding and mine was 7…plus it’s on an island (not accessible by car, only boat) so people are literally stuck. CUE PANIC. They were so calm and cool and suggested some options to make it work. We added a passing appetizer to avoid overconsumption and decided to offer a few additional shuttles as needed throughout the night prior to the final shuttle back. We put their phone numbers on the hospitality bag cards and they happily coordinated any boat shuttles back to the island prior to our final wedding shuttle. They coordinated with the DJ to make announcements when they were planned and I didn’t have to worry about anyone being trapped. Crisis #1 averted. As the day approached I started getting a bit nervous because I had infamously unresponsive vendors (for example I called and emailed my florist 5+ times over the course of 2 months and didn’t get a response) and these ladies managed to get a hold of them. I don’t know how they did it, but BLESS. They called me about two weeks out with a big list of things they were wondering from documentation I had sent them. Small details I overlooked on my own and my vendors overlooked - an extra side to the tent, an extra fork for cake, things like that. They also sent me an email on how much I should be tipping which vendors, which was so nice of them. They had me make envelopes with tips in them in advance and labeled so they could distribute them on my behalf day of. It gave me plenty of time to review and followup with vendors to get things corrected without stress. I had no opinions about a lot of things, like place setting and sign placement. They happily made executive decisions and added tasteful touches like attach greenery to all my signs so they looked flawless. They were also happy to not insert their opinions when I was set on something. The perfect balance. It was windy, so geniuses they are left the signs on the ground until the last minute so they didn’t go flying everywhere. So many random things happening so I didn’t even notice to make it all perfect. During dinner it started POURING and they were at the sweetheart table moving it before the first drop hit the ground so we didn’t get wet. I am obsessed with them and they did everything to perfection. I would say some of my vendors were like 2.5-3 stars, but these guys were literally 10,000 stars and beyond and helped those 2.5 star vendors look more like 5 star vendors. I would have literally jumped in the river and quit without them. They were my saving grace and my queens. If I wasn’t clear enough, HIRE THEM!

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!

Where do I even begin! Samantha and Taylor are a true dream team. Not only do they work on the Outer Banks but they also are willing to travel for their business and let me just say, they definitely know what they are doing! These ladies made my dream wedding in Virginia come to life. Throughout the short months of working together they stayed on top of communicating with vendors and doing their research and they always got back to me right away. They are tremendously organized and always seemed so calm, especially knowing they have several other clients they work with. I know I couldn’t handle that kind of business and they definitely took the stress and hassle of wedding planning off my shoulders! Both of them are so caring and have hard work ethics and are very determined to get the job done and to get it done right. You can tell they love what they do! After all the planning and finally the wedding, the entire experience has me wanting a wedding every year on mine and my husband’s anniversary and I know exactly who I would use as my planners again! Love Coastyle!!

Coastyle Wedding-Samantha & Taylor were AMAZING to work with while planning a destination wedding in the OBX! They listened carefully to the Bride and Groom's wishes, were very prompt in returning emails/answering questions, attentive to detail, and delightful to work with. Being the mother of the groom, not familiar with the OBX, and a bit of a skeptic, Coastyle Weddings, along with Bride, planned everything to perfection!! Absolutely fabulous!! Could not recommend them enough!!

I can honestly say that we would not have been able to have the day that we wanted without the assistance of Coastyle. From our planning 1.5 years out all the way through our big day - Coastyle was in touch with us and made us feel like we were their only priority. It was truly a pleasure to work with such energetic and attentive planners. They looked out for us and saw what was coming, they provided wonderful suggestions, and they were superstars on our wedding day. We are truly grateful to have worked with such fine people and encourage EVERYONE to use them for their weddings as well!

If I could give 100 stars I would! Every last detail and every second of our wedding was perfect thanks to Samantha and Taylor! They thought of things I never would have and made sure every single thing we wanted and more was executed seamlessly! We truly felt catered to all day & now I can’t even imagine our day without them. I cannot say enough great things to even give them the justice and praise they deserve. Just hire them! ❤️

I really don’t even know where to begin with these two! They really are just so awesome. They thought about things that didn’t even cross my mind. They really did make sure every box was checked off. Within my budget, they provided me with the most beautiful vendors. They go above and beyond for their clients. I truly mean that. Their attention to detail and professionalism really impressed me as well. They talked to me almost daily and helped me with every obstacle I threw at them. They are so sweet and their adorable relationship as coworkers and friends is really something special. Because of them, I had the most perfect, beautiful, memorable wedding. If you’re thinking about having a wedding, especially in the Outer Banks, they are your girls!

We HIGHLY recommend Coastyle. When we started to plan our wedding, we had a decent idea as to what we wanted. My wife and I had been married before, so we weren't looking for the cookie-cutter, modern wedding. But whereas we had SOME idea on certain things, we also had NO idea on many other things. Samantha and Taylor were the absolutely perfect fit. They figured us out quickly and modified their approach to what we were looking for. They made great recommendations for caterers, where to stay, venue info, etc, etc. And they were right there with us every step of the way. We knew we could hop on a call with them at any moment and that they'd be enthusiastic to help. And I can't say enough about how great it was to have the two of them working together. There was never any confusion, as they seem to have a mind meld going on, and on the day of the wedding it was great to have two of them around. I can't say enough about them and I HIGHLY recommend you check them out. Thanks Sam and Taylor!

I honestly can't recommend Taylor and Samantha's services highly enough. They were supportive, professional, timely, knowledgeable, kind, and SO helpful with navigating the wedding planning process. I grew up on the Outer Banks and still found their insight, knowledge, and connections with vendors in the area to be incredibly helpful. The timeline they created and executed for our wedding day truly made it one of the happiest and most enjoyable days of our lives. Thank you so much!!!

Coastyle Events is the best choice on the OBX for coordinating your wedding. Samantha & Taylor are extremely professional. Their attention to detail is amazing. Whether you decide on the full package or month of services, they will take care of you down to very last detail! We are a local family so choosing month of services was perfect for us. If you are choosing the OBX for a destination wedding you will probably need help in choosing and booking your vendors. Whatever you decide, go with Coastyle Events and enjoy your Big Day!! Samantha & Taylor will take care of everything!

Taylor and Samantha are amazing wedding planners. They are super responsive and organized. They made finding vendors a breeze. They helped us navigate wedding planning/rescheduling during the pandemic which alleviated a lot of stress. Highly recommended!

Taylor & Samantha were the month of coordinators for our wedding in Nags Head on 10/24/2020. My husband and I highly highly recommend Coastyle for any of your event needs! Let’s face it- planning a wedding is not easy but they made every step of the way a breeze and kept everything incredibly organized! They picked up the slack for other vendors that did not come through and made our day go off without a hitch. My husband and I both felt like we had been friends with them for years, which made things so comfortable. They’re so down to earth and easy to work with. I wish we could have a wedding every weekend with Taylor & Samantha.

COASTYLE EVENTS was AMAZING! The team was very professional, punctual, and gave us a stress free wedding. The cost of the 30 day out package is well worth it. Samantha & Taylor handled all the issues that popped up the last month with ease and grace. We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this dynamic team to any newly engaged couple!

We enjoyed having Samantha and Taylor of Coaststyle Weddings & Events as our wedding planners. They were very organized and asked the right questions as we thought through everything ahead of time. They were especially helpful on the day of. They kept everything on schedule in a professional and congenial way. They took care of the details and we were able to enjoy our day. I highly recommend them. Love these ladies!

Taylor and Samantha were amazing throughout the whole process of planning our 150+ person wedding on the beach in Corolla, NC at Pine Island Lodge. From the first meeting to the day of, they were organized, extremely professional, thoughtful, and continuously patient (we had a lot of cooks in the kitchen with opinions). They pushed when needed (to ensure we met deadlines and booked and paid our vendors), but also stayed out of the way and didn't over-communicate or nag. They had excellent recommendations for vendors who they had worked with before, but were also completely open to working with new folks and supported all of our wacky out of the box requests (e.g. pinatas during the reception lol). On the day of, they managed all the vendors (a small Army!) with precision and ease and shielded us from any commotions, decisions, and issues that came up - I literally felt zero stress, didn't have to make any decisions, and was completely in awe of the final decor when I finally saw it after getting ready with my bridesmaids. They have great taste, lots of experience, and an excellent eye for setting up the venue and managing the flow of guests. I cannot recommend Coastyle enough - they will ensure your wedding day is both perfect and 100% you.

Samantha and Taylor were both SO amazing. The first time we met about the wedding they took note on every detail we wanted at the ceremony and reception and also the entire flow of the wedding day. They contacted all the vendors to make sure everything was set correctly for the day. You really feel like you build such a relationship with both of these beautiful girls and they are right by your side for whatever you need and whenever, they make it happen. I have grown up here on the Outer Banks and I am so happy they were available for my big day. I trusted them so much and they made my dream wedding come true. I would choose them over and over again <3

Samantha and Taylor were an absolute blessing throughout the wedding planning process. My *now* husband and I fell in love with the Outer Banks and decided we wanted to get married there, but we didn’t necessarily know what we were getting ourselves into - planning a wedding from a different state. We got engaged in June and booked Coastyle in August, while planning to get married in September of the following year. They were amazing through the entire process. They answered every question (and there were a lot) with a happy, encouraging response that allowed for me to feel so calm every time I talked to them. The day of our wedding, they made every dream I had for our setup possible, IF they didn’t completely go above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They are sweet, talented and creative. They are definitely the duo you want in your corner when it comes to your wedding. Book them as your coordinators, you will NOT regret it! ❤️

Samantha and Taylor of Coastyle Weddings & Events are amazing! Their support and guidance every step of the way in planning my daughter's wedding went above and beyond. From recommending vendors for my daughter's vision to keeping me on track with decision making and payments, I could not have asked for a better team! If you are considering hiring a wedding planner for your wedding in the Outer Banks, you cannot go wrong with Coastyle Weddings & Events! They really are "simply the best"!

Stop your search and hire these two!! Samantha and Taylor made the last month of the wedding go off without a hitch. They helped double check our numbers, created the timeline, created the layout, contact vendors to double check numbers, and help tie up any loose ends before the big day. You want these two for your wedding day, truly the sweetest people who work hard to make sure the day is everything you dreamed of and more!! Not only are they trendy and know the current styles, but they will help make suggestions based on their experience and based on you as a couple. My biggest worry was that my mom would want to step in and help that day, but she even said she didn’t worry about that the entire weekend. She was able to relax and enjoy herself because Samantha and Taylor were there. Thank you a million time over to these two rockstars!! Seriously... hire them!

if you’re getting married anywhere near OBX and haven’t hired these ladies, I need you to sit down and reevaluate. This text box isn’t enough to describe the incredibly amazing work these ladies do for their clients! I’m still in shock. I had no wedding inspo. No idea what I wanted, No idea where, concept, etc.... literally not a clue. However after just ONE meeting with Samantha and Taylor, our vision started coming to life. Since then, these girls handled EVERYTHING and were able to help us create our dream wedding. Our wedding day perfect. I mean PERFECT. Every single aspect. I cannot thank Samantha and Taylor enough for what they did for us, and I could not have imagined ever planning a wedding with out them. 10/10.

Samantha & Taylor are amazing! I reached out to them months before our wedding because I knew I needed a day-of coordinator for our big day. Tyler & I were planning an out of town wedding & knowing Samantha from college & that she was from the area we were getting married in I was excited to hear they'd travel to Richmond to work with us. Being a wedding coordinator myself, I wanted to make sure to hire someone I could trust to run the day as I'd planned, Samantha & Taylor exceeded my expectations. We had a wedding party that was a handful to say the least and families that were most likely overwhelming and they handled everything with such ease, never skipping a beat and very professional. They made myself and Tyler feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of the weekend of the wedding and especially made me feel like I didn't have to micro manage everything and I could just hand my plans over to them to bring to life. I cannot say enough amazing things about Samantha & Taylor with Coastyle Weddings & Events, they are true professionals and if you're looking to hire coordinators for your wedding, I highly recommend them!

Aside from marrying each other, hiring Samantha and Taylor was the best decision we made! From phone call 1, we knew it was a great match. They were welcoming, informative and helped us find our true vision for our wedding. We live in Philadelphia so having our planners on location in OBX was a HUGE must! They were able to give us honest recommendations for vendors that in time, allowed us to pick the right team to complete our wedding day! Coastyle was also great with working with our photographers who too, were traveling out of state for our wedding! They kept us up to date on all important payments, signatures and forms throughout the entire process. Throughout the 9 months of planning, Samantha and Taylor remained consistent and awesome to work with! We mostly communicated via e-mail (easier for myself and my husband) and Samantha and Taylor would respond almost immediately! We have had over 200 e-mail exchanges since starting our planning! We had a few small hiccups on the wedding day (that no one could have predicted) and with Coastyle was there, we had nothing to worry about! They brought our ideas together and created something absolutely stunning! These girls became not only our planners, we now consider them our friends! simply, the best.

Where to start...it's simple, we LOVE Samantha & Taylor. They made the entire wedding experience perfection. Literally, it was perfect, as in flawless. I couldn't believe my eyes walking into each phase of our wedding. The ceremony was coordinated and smooth, the cocktail hour and reception was warm and welcoming, the reception was to die for, and it's all because of their organization, professionalism, and finesse. TRULY they are gifted. Samantha & Taylor are authentic and it shines through in their work. I cannot thank them enough. What a day. :)

Samantha and Taylor are Top Notch - Above and Beyond! Couples getting married in the OBX should look no further than Coastyle Weddings & Events. From start to finish, these two amazing gals made us feel like ours was the only wedding they were planning - hard to believe they're juggling one or two weddings every weekend! So organized - so fun - so energetic...so sad it's over...LOVE THESE TWO!

Hiring Samantha & Taylor was the best decision of our wedding! Throughout the planning process they were always very responsive, organized, and had great recommendations. They were everything we'd hoped for until the rehearsal and wedding day- when they were so much more! If you want a truly dedicated team that can handle last minute decisions, changes and really crazy weather with a confident and positive attitude to keep the bride and groom calm, go with Coastyle!!

If you are looking for wedding planners, look no further. Samantha and Taylor of Coastyle Events are the best in the industry. The detail, organization, attentiveness, creativity is next level. They are hardworking, lovely women who are extremely talented and worth every penny. Samantha and Taylor made our wedding a success and we could not have done it without them. We a bride thinks about her wedding day, she wants to feel confident that every detail is taken care of and that she can trust that someone else can run the day for her. The bride and family do not want to be folding napkins, decorating, doing place settings, coordinating with vendors day of, this is why you MUST have Coastyle Events.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Samantha and Taylor from Coastyle for our wedding (5/24/19)… They were above all else, absolute professionals, imminently responsive, creative and an absolute blast to work with. At their core, they are just good people. Without a doubt, we would have not have had the wedding experience we had in the Outer Banks had we not been blessed to work with them to plan our wedding. They were deferential to our thoughts and vision for our event but had a ton of ideas where we didn’t have a clear picture for what we wanted to accomplish. They were extraordinarily thoughtful in that they took into account the specific venue that we were hosting our wedding at to ensure that all of the little details had been considered. They helped us tremendously in identifying vendors for the services that we were looking for and gave us enough options/space to pick those that fit best for our personalities and what we wanted to accomplish. Where we were unsure, we absolutely trusted their judgement and felt completely comfortable asking for their recommendation, knowing that they were being honest and considerate in providing their thoughts. Throughout the entire process, they kept us focused and on point and without them, we firmly believe it just would not have happened nor gone as well as it did. We have absolutely no reservations recommending them as wedding coordinators and would work with them 11 times out of 10 if we had to do it over again. They have our contact information and should you want to talk to someone who has worked with them as a reference, we have given them permission to use us (just reference our wedding date above). Above everything, thank you Samantha and Taylor for making our wedding day an absolute blast. “Thank you” just does not feel adequate to cover everything you did for us! Bryan and Meredith

Samantha and Taylor are worth their weight in gold! We hired them for same day service but they helped us all along the way and reminded us of deadlines. They happily followed through with every request in a timely manor. The day before they both put in a full days work setting everything up in the rain. For the rehearsal they rallied the troops and communicated effectively with requests from our out-of-state pastor and photographer. The entire time they verbally bounced ideas off each other and with my bride. They both spoke from a place of experience, confidence and with a positive attitude in all communications. The day of they were at our venue early. There were our meteorologist, therapists and helpers all day. They were the last vendor to leave. A+ 100% would recommended

It’s hard to put into words how amazing this duo is! Taylor and Samantha went above and beyond since the moment Coastyle became my wedding planners, ahem, more like life savers. Any ounce of anxiety I had during the planning process, they cured, and made everything so much easier. Not only are they two of the most fun, sweetest, and BOSS babes you’ll ever meet, they would do anything for their brides (& grooms of course). I had A LOT of DIY decor and greenery, and they brought my vision to life better than I ever could've imagined. One of my favorite moments of the day was walking out to see the tent that they had transformed into the most gorgeous reception that I had ever seen, and it was ours!!! Our wedding rained, then poured, and last but not least, had a tornado warning. Everything, and I mean everything, went off without the slightest indication that there was ever even a problem. They even brought the cutest bride and groom umbrellas for us to use during pictures. These ladies worked their butts off and our wedding would never have been as amazing without them. Basically what I’m saying is, you need them. Seriously. Best. Planners. EVER.

Samantha and Taylor were amazing! They were so professional and had everything organized from the beginning. There are so many details that go in to planning a wedding, they were able to think of them all and help it all come together. I highly recommend working with these lovely ladies :)

I was extremely fortunate to have Coastyle Events working with me on my wedding! They were very helpful in working with me to make sure all my details were in order. They developed my wedding day timeline and made sure that all my other vendors received it. I loved getting to meet them because I could really see how dedicated they are to making sure their brides get what they want. And when the weather changed our outdoor, beach wedding plans, Coastyle Events was on top of letting all vendors know of the last minute changes and making sure that things went smoothly.

Samantha and Taylor are incredible! They know all of the right questions to ask and how to make your vision come to life! They are so organized, which is very appreciated when planning a wedding. If there is anything you need at anytime, they are always there for their couples. My wedding was in Richmond, Virginia, which is not local for them. I was worried it would be difficult to plan a wedding with planners who lived and worked elsewhere, but I assure you, there never was an issue. They were always finding ways to help us plan and made sure to communicate with our vendors as well. There were several unexpected things that came up before the wedding day, but Samantha and Taylor never hesitated. They faced any problem or inconvenience head on, all while keeping the bride and groom calm and reassured. We really could not have had such an amazing wedding without their help. If you are considering booking Coastyle, you are making the best decision for your wedding planning process and your big day (next to marrying the love of your life, of course)! We are so blessed that they were a part of ours!

If you are debating on whether or not to hire a wedding planner - DO IT! Trust me when i say that we were on the fence thinking "oh, we can handle this ourselves it can't be THAT hard" but finally went for it, and I can't even begin to say how grateful I am that we hired Samantha & Taylor! Looking back, this was probably the most important expense in our wedding budget, because without these two fabulous ladies our wedding would not have been as perfect and magical as it was! Starting a month out from our wedding date, they began making sure that all of our vendor contracts were correct, and even brought other steps to our attention that we had overlooked or didn't even know would have affected our wedding day. They created a seamless timeline for us, and coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure that it was followed. But the best part? They set up and took down our entire decor -- in the most beautiful way I could have ever imagined, greeted and seated guests, passed out welcome drinks & handled any issues that arose without me needing to be involved once on our actual day so that I could take the time to enjoy it all and be present in the moment, without any stress. Even when we were up against Hurricane Florence, the entire week leading up to the wedding (and weekend-of!) they were there helping us develop Plans B & C so we were always prepared. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your help and support making our wedding weekend everything we could have ever dreamed of. We owe it all to you <3

These girls are sooo amazing!!! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Samantha & Taylor. I've been a wedding photographer on the OBX for 12 years. Having worked alongside them, I knew I wanted their calm energy & professionalism for my own wedding; they were the 1st vendor I booked after we got engaged. We (& my parents) were able to enjoy every moment of the day & not be distracted or worried over details. It flew by so fast & being able to enjoy each moment of our wedding rather than stressing over timelines, what we were doing next, or dealing with hiccups was invaluable. If there were issues behind the scenes we had no clue. They're always prompt with correspondence & sent friendly reminders when things like seating charts & permits needed to be done. They set aside time to discuss our vision, timeline & questions and communicated with our vendors to ensure they were on time & had everything needed onsite. They even lined up last minute help for ceremony setup & ran out to buy John an undershirt when he realized he forgot to pack his that morning! There was nothing we needed that they didn't do or offer to help with. We also had them coordinate our rehearsal which was so nice; our officiant & wedding party loved knowing what to expect so everything flowed effortlessly. Coastyle packed & stacked all our rentals & boxed our personal decor for us making cleanup so easy. We are so thrilled Coastyle was part of our wedding...It was truly the perfect day!

Samantha & Taylor were absolutely fabulous to work with! They were prompt, reassuring and guided me seamlessly through every step of the wedding process. They had wonderful vendor relationships and referrals and put my mind at ease when I was making key decisions about our wedding. Their day-of management ensured every single detail was perfect and I was free to enjoy every moment of my big day. I wish I had another wedding to plan because I would do it all over again with them

The Coastyle Family is wonderful. They were so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and the day-of. I can not imagine how my wedding would have gone if they were not there to help and save the day! I recommend Samantha and Taylor, the Coastyle family, to anyone in need of wedding/event planning and/or a day-of coordinator. You get TWO very talented ladies when you choose Coastyle. They are so professional, respectful to your wishes and affordable. You will WANT and NEED the Coastyle family for your party!

I cannot say enough good things about Samantha and Taylor! From the beginning they made me feel at ease about planning my wedding out-of-state. They were responsive and genuinely caring about every detail I wanted to incorporate! Throughout the whole process they were patient, professional and quick to respond when I had a “bride moment.” They took everything into their own hands when I wasn’t physically available to a certain vendor etc. On the day of my wedding I was never bothered or pulled in a million directions. I enjoyed my wedding morning/day with my bridal party without a care in the world! When I took a peek outside at our venue, it was more than I could have ever imagined! I felt like I didn’t have to lift a finger all day - they coordinated my ceremony, set up my decorations, assisted the other vendors, and even served me drinks and food all night long! They truly made my day magical and I will forever be grateful for the both of them! Email Coastyle Wedding Events and I know from the initial email you will feel that you have found the right wedding planners!

My husband and I got married on April 28th and I couldn’t have gotten through this wedding without Samantha and Taylor! They were so amazing and made my life stress-free while wedding planning! Definitely get in touch with them if you are considering getting a wedding planner! You will get two awesome planners and won’t regret it for a minute! My mom (who didn’t think I needed wedding planners at first) said that it was absolutely the right decision going with Samantha and Taylor! Love y’all and thank you so much!

These two were THE BEST! I would not say that I was an easy bride - I am not good at making decisions and I drag my feet when it comes to finalizing anything. These girls were patient with me every step of the way and knew when I need a little nudge. The are extremely knowledgeable and very willing to go over any idea you have no matter how unrealistic it might be. They are cost conscious and know the ways to work your ideas into the budget. And obviously, two heads are better than one! They worked so hard on designing, planning, and executing our wedding - I don't know what would have happened had I not had these two keeping me in line and getting ish done. I HIGHLY recommend them if you want to take stress of wedding plan off your shoulders and enjoy the process. THANK YOU LADIES!!!

I don't even know where to start with this review. I cannot express how much I love Coastyle! These girls are the absolute best and top notch! I found Coastyle through a wedding website. I contacted them, and immediately knew I wanted to book them for my October 2017 wedding. I was able to meet them at the OBX Wedding Expo, and was then reassured that I had make the right decision. They were so welcoming, and hugged me like they have known me for years. In addition, a few of my bridesmaids were with me, and the Coastlye booth was the one they were immediately drawn to, and obsessed with their style, without even knowing they were my planners. Throughout my wedding planning expereince, I reached out to Taylor and Samantha, and the responses were always quick, and warm! They were really great with emails, and providing me with any advice and resources that I needed. When it came to rehersal they did a great job. They were very organized, and were able to get our very large bridal party in order and together. On the wedding day, Samantha and Taylor kept in contact with me to ensure I was running on time, and letting me know how set up was going at the venue. I really loved watching the Instagram stories so I could see the day of my dreams being set up! On our wedding day, it decided to rain.This really bummed me out, as we planned on getting married in the beautiful vineyard. Samantha and Taylor kept in contact with me regarding the weather, and my best options. As upset as I was, i was reassured in knowing that they would make it work When I arrived to the ceremony sight indoors, I could not hold back the happy tears. They had made reception room,into the most beautiful plan B I've ever seen. I knew I could trust them. Throughout the ceremony and reception, they made me feel at ease, and I never had to worry about a single detail. I cannot say enough about these girls! I refer them to everyone I know. Thank you guys so much for making the day of my dreams happen!

First and foremost, these gals are AMAZING!! If you are a bride (or groom) that is debating whether or not you need a wedding coordinator vs saving money and managing it yourself- do yourself a favor and get the wedding coordinator! It will save you a whole lot of headache and stress when the big day comes around and these girls are worth every single cent of your money! I had no idea how overwhelming or how fast the actual day would be and without their help I would've been a mess. I also would bet that the cake wouldn't have been cut, the garter wouldn't have tossed, and the sparklers would've gone unlit. You are so caught up in the moment and the people surrounding you that time seriously flys by! These girls made sure that the vendors were all on the same page and that the timeline was executed to a "T" all while being courteous of our wants/needs on our big day! Our bridal party, parents and other friends were so impressed by them! They knew exactly when to step in and were flexible when mishaps occurred (ex: a storm came through right before our ceremony and these girls were prepared and on top of it!!). They weren't overbearing and to top it off they have amazing relationships with all of the vendors we had hired (several of the vendors mentioned how stellar these girls when booking!!) I could seriously go on and on about how wonderful these girls are and our wedding is a testament to their hard work! I am such a lucky bride to have had their support and advice leading up to the big day, and our wedding was absolutely perfect ! Thank you, thank you, thank you Samantha & Taylor for everything!!

My husband and I got married two weekends ago at Jennette's Pier and used Sam & Taylor for our wedding planners. These girls were absolutely AMAZING!!! Not only did they help make the wedding planning process completely stress-free, but their customer service, fun attitude, and planning tools made them one of my favorite vendors for our wedding! They always answered emails right away and were so flexible in what they could do the day of the wedding-they even volunteered to pick up ice for us the morning of! Our wedding turned out better than I could have imagined and they coordinated every single detail PERFECTLY. These girls will work their tails off to give you the wedding of your dreams and are worth every single penny that you will spend-trust me!! I would highly recommend Coastyle Weddings for your next event! :)

Let me preface this with saying, my wedding isn't even here yet and I'm wishing I could give them more than 5 stars, so I can't imagine what my follow up review will bring after the big day (is a million stars allowed??) Samantha and Taylor are he absolute best! We were so worried being from out of town planning a destination wedding that maybe we got ourselves in over our heads, unsure of how we would have it all come together and be everything we as a couple dreamed for our day. Well, thankfully we found Coastyle on theknot.com!! They make you feel like you're their only client, and help you make every little decision confidently. My fiancé and I are from Illinois and are coming to the Outer Banks in October 2017 to say "I Do" with just our immediate family and best friends. We weren't sure how much we wanted traditional but knew we wanted most of our day to reflect who we are as a couple instead of just automatically following along with the step by step tradition for a wedding day. Well, Samantha and Taylor are SO on board for any idea we've had (of course letting us know if anything is unrealistic and helping us to keep the big picture in mind) and they make you feel their genuine excitement about these ideas, which as a bride, is more important than you think. They check in with us constantly asking if we need anything no matter how small, respond to my emails in a day or less and have made us feel like our best friends are planning our wedding rather than a 'vendor'. (seriously if I sent them 50 unreasonable questions coming from a stressed bride they'd answer every single one in detail within a day) These girls are willing to go the extra mile for anything we need and are so on top of it. We absolutely love them and couldn't have found better planners for our destination wedding! We're sure anything they help plan will be a dream come true and can't wait to spend more time with them at our big day!

These girls are the best and so wonderful to work with! I have known Taylor for 4 years and when I got engaged she was the most excited of anyone! Even though I did not get married in NC, Taylor and Samantha were so helpful as consultants during my wedding planning. They gave me great ideas and advice regarding wedding dresses, venue options, videographers, music, décor, favors, and so much more! The girls helped me research vendors in my area to find the perfect fit. They were also available to my mom and maid of honor during the planning of my bridal shower. Taylor and Samantha were available by phone and email whenever I had questions and always got back very quickly. Their sense of style is beautiful and creative. The best part about Coastyle Weddings is that Taylor and Samantha work closely together and both are available for anything you need! They helped to make my vision a reality and I can’t thank them enough. I would recommend Coastyle Weddings to anyone looking for help with their special day, whether near or far!
