From the Couple: 

How He Asked: "Tyler knew he wanted to propose somewhere special to he and Lauren, and since they've been going to the Outer Banks with their families for years, he knew that was the perfect place. On the first night of their vacation in Avon, they went for walk walk on the beach and when they reached the Avon Pier, Tyler popped the question!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We've been coming to the Outer Banks with our families for vacation for years, and since Tyler proposed there, there was no question that we wanted to get married in Avon too!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "Our decor was all beach themed! The color palette included ocean tones, and the wedding style was beach chic. We wanted our wedding to reflect the surrounding of the venue." 

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our first dance. It was one off the only times during the evening when we were able to have a conversation, just the two of us, without people running up to congratulate us! As strange as it was to be the only two people dancing in a room full of people, for those few minutes, it felt like it was just us."

2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Gilded Elegance

If you think planning a wedding in three months means you'll sacrifice elegance, personalized touches and style, then Caroline and Brian's grande affair will be a game changer! Due to her father's illness, the two moved the wedding one year earlier than scheduled and designed a day that was the epitome of the "best day ever" in three months. Renee Landry Events confettied their Pavilion at Pirate's Cove reception in blush blooms, with black and white stripes contrasting against gilded details to embellish the large venue. Lori Douglas Photography captured all the raw love and magic that surrounded the entire day, and we're bursting with excitement to share more from their 2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine feature!

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "The engagement was a complete surprise, although he had been planning it for months! Brian had always teased me that the day he would pop the question would be July 4, 2015. On Sunday, November 2, 2014 we decied to go on an early morning cruise down. It was freezing and windy that morning, but he insisted on getting out of the truck and going on a walk. Out of nowhere, he turned to me and said, "Do you know what today is?" And then, he paused briefly and said "Today is July 4, 2015." Before I knew what was happening, he had gotten down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was in complete shock at what was happening, and didn't even say anything at first...he had to ask me again!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "Caroline was born and raised in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina!"

Wedding Inspiration: "The design inspiration was Kate Spade inspired! Our theme was black and white - specifically black and white stripes with touches of gold glitter and sequins and blush-colored floral arrangements. We wanted a more classic look and feel for our wedding. On a side note on inspiration, our wedding was planned in three months! We found out in April that my father, Lou, was diagnosed with cancer so we moved the wedding up a year, August 2016 to July 2015. Lou's ultimate goal during his battle with cancer was to walk me down the aisle, and if possible, the father-daughter dance would be the icing on the cake. He did both!"  

Favorite Wedding Memories: "My father reaching his goals of walking me down the aisle and our father-daughter dance. Also, seeing the venue for the first time when Brian and I were introduced. My mom was the mastermind behind the design and planning, so everything was a complete surprise for Brian and I!"

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "On our second day in Ireland, we were driving to the Cliffs of Moher on our way to Killarney. With be behind the wheel, I made a few unplanned detours having no idea there was a plan once we arrived at the Cliffs. We we finally arrived, Ricky started asking at ton of questions - "Where's the best view? What side is the best? Where should we go first?" We finally chose the right side to walk up right, which is where you get the best views of the Cliffs. At the top, we stopped and asked someone (Ricky had already chosen!) to take our photo. Before I could put it all together, Ricky was down on one knee with a ring made for my mother from my grandmother's wedding band asking me to marry him!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "I grew up going down tot the Outer Banks for family vacations and it has always been a special place to me. When Ricky and I started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted a location that was laid-back and welcoming, yet still elegant and refined. The Sanderling was the perfect balance." 

Wedding Inspiration: "I really wanted an 'elegant beach' wedding! We chose a combination of pink, navy and silver for our color palette and I just loved how it all came together! Not only did our wedding party wear navy, but we used navy for our tablecloths paired with sequin runners, creating a very dramatic, formal look. Our flowers were incredible! The contrast between high and low, light and bright was amazing. My bouquet was large, yet soft and romantic. We wrapped the steam in lace from my grandmother's wedding dress and pinned it with a diamond horseshoe - an Irish tradition."  

Favorite Wedding Memory: "We wanted all of our guests to feel like they were on vacation, and for them to truly feel like they were a part of our entire weekend. It meant so much to have so many of our family and friends travel to be with us during our special occasion. We started the wedding events Thursday evening with a welcome happy hour, Friday we had golf with the groom and beach yoga with the bride with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner that night. After the wedding on Saturday, we concluded the weekend with my parents hosted a farewell brunch on Sunday!"

2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Rustic Romance

Several celebrations, continuous laughter, endless fun and countless memories - Brian and Brandon's Outer Banks wedding week was nothing short of spectacular! The Proper Setting aided these two in designing a festival of love throughout the entire week, ending with vows on the grounds of Whalehead in Historic Corolla. Gussied-up in cafe lights, rustic seating, wagon wheels and whimsical blooms by Bells & Whistles, these gents flawlessly decked out their event home reception all captured by Genevieve Stewart Photography!

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "Our engagement story is nothing short of comedic! Brandon planned an elaborate scavenger hunt across Durham, North Carolina that incorporated several of our closest friends who road tripped or flew in from all over the country. When I drove down South to meet Brandon, we ran into a couple snags that made us run behind to begin the hunt but it wasn't too long that I was handed my first clue...one I didn't understand at all! We drove throughout Chapel Hill and Durham making several stops, where we were met by our closest friends who held more mementos and more clues. We eventually ended up at the last stop, a hotel room covered in photos where I open several small bags that contained puzzle pieces. We put the puzzle together which was a picture of the two of us and the caption, "Will You Marry Me?" Of course, I said "yes!" and shortly thereafter our friends came through cheering as we celebrated with champagne!"

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We use to have a home in South Nags Head when I was younger and Brandon loves the water, so when he suggested the Outer Banks we both thought its beautiful and serene environment would provide us the perfect backdrop for our wedding vision."

Wedding Inspiration: "Brandon and I both love the natural elements of the outdoors. We wanted a simple ceremony that focused on our story, our love for one another and that incorporated the many important people in our lives. We also love a good party and to dance, which is why we felt as thought we had to have a big dance floor that overlaid part of the pool. We asked Bells & Whistles to refrain from large centerpieces and use moss, candles and subtle flowers to create a tablescape that transformed out dining area into a wonderful woodland and that would highlight the beauty of simplicity. Our guests felt like they were transported away from the poolside into a beautiful forest with our rustic tablescapes and lighting!"

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Hands down, our favorite memory is our first dance. I love country music and the song we chose, 'Who I am With You' by Chris Young truly reflects our relationship. Being a gay couple, it was difficult for both Brandon and I to come out to our friends and family, but in the end it doesn't matter what other people thought of our relationship. We had each other and we could be ourselves and be honest with one another - this song reflected that!"

With a ceremony by the sound and country club reception at The Currituck Club to day-after photo session with ColemanShots by the ocean, Taylor and John's coastal affair took us on a journey across the Outer Banks.

From the Couple...

How The Met: "We met while working together at a sailing center in Corolla in the summer of 2011. John had moved from South Carolina and took a job as the sailing center's Site Manager and Taylor just graduated college in Virginia and took a Summer job there renting out water-sport equipment. We became friends through working together and made our romantic relationship official that September - we also decided to make  our move to the Outer Banks a permanent one!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We met here and live here!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "We wanted our wedding to be everything that is simple, natural beauty - something we feel encompasses our relationship as a whole. The most important thing to us was to be able to get married in a place that had significant meaning to both of us, and that we could always come back to visit and even bring our keys one day. Our wedding quickly turned into an earthy, very natural, garden glam style."

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our top favorite memory is our first look! Once we saw each other for the first time, every nerve we had went away and it was just the most emotional, flawless moment for us that we will never forget."

Outer Banks Music Masters Provides Dream Playlist

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. - Dave Barry

After the vows are exchanged, toasts given and food devoured, it is time to do one thing get up and dance! However, selecting great music is more than just hitting play on an iPod and the talented Matt Cooper of Outer Banks Music Masters knows just how to keep the party going until the last tune is played.

A member of the 2013 Dream Team, Outer Banks Music Masters recently entertained guests at the Dream Wedding at the Beach Klub at Koru Village in Avon on Hatteras Island. With over 15 years in the radio and music industry, Matt currently works as the morning host on the popular Outer Banks radio station, 99.1 The Sound.

Outer Banks Wedding, Destination Wedding, NC Beach Wedding

While brides often underestimate the time and talent it takes to emcee an event, the guys at Outer Banks Music Masters work tirelessly to ensure your reception playlist represents your musical preferences, ranging from romantic ballads to swing and fist-pumping dance music.

Putting the enjoyment of your guests first, DJ Matt Cooper points out, we believe a good wedding DJ creates the atmosphere you want, without trying to upstage the music or you with cheesy comments or silly jokes.

But hiring an experienced DJ is more than just trusting someone to play great tunes, it s entrusting the entire flow of your reception to someone. There are many aspects of a reception, from the lively wedding party introductions to the cake cutting and all the fun moments in between that can be overlooked by an inexperienced DJ. However, this is where Outer Banks Music Masters excels by providing an emcee that will keep the evening running smoothly with formal announcements and introductions, as well as the right amount of interaction.

If you re searching for an experienced DJ to emcee your Outer Banks wedding reception, trust your event to the talented Outer Banks Music Masters Dream Team member and DJ at the Outer Banks Wedding Association s 2013 Dream Wedding.
