Coastyle Weddings & Events

lways 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!

ndors, 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!💕

ut issue and expectations where exceeded.

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!

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!

y 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!!

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!

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!

ic 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!

k 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.

re 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!!

ime 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.

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!

d 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!

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!

T 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!

r 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!

y 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!!

l, 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!!

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!

y! 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! ❤️

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!

rtain 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!

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!!!

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!
