So glad we chose The Farm at West Prong Acres to be our wedding venue! It is absolutely beautiful, and Amy is amazing to work with. We didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator and she stepped in and helped wherever she could. The venue had plenty of space to host our 100ish guest wedding and the airbnb was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. We were able to be creative and have the wedding of our dreams, I wish I could add all of the photos but Zola won’t let me. It was absolutely beautiful and I’m so thankful I used this amazing venue for my wedding day!

Bostwick's Magnolia Manor is more than a wedding venue—it's a private waterfront estate in the Outer Banks of North Carolina where family and friends gather, celebrate, and stay together. Couples love having the entire property for their rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch, with overnight accommodations for their closest guests. Exchange vows beneath our magnificent magnolia tree, planted 48 years ago, and celebrate against the backdrop of breathtaking waterfront sunsets. While you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of your own estate, you're just minutes from the beaches, world-class fishing, wild horse tours, waterfront dining, and everything the Outer Banks is famous for. Our experienced team, trusted local vendors, and relaxed coastal setting make planning easy, so you can focus on creating memories that will last a lifetime. Gather. Celebrate. Stay Together.

From the moment we arrived at Bostwick's Magnolia Manor, we knew we had chosen somewhere special. We stayed for four wonderful days, and that made all the difference. Instead of feeling rushed, we were able to truly enjoy every moment with our family and friends. The weekend began with a beautiful bridesmaids' luncheon, while the guys spent the day out on the water fishing. That evening, everyone gathered in the gardens for the most incredible rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect setting to relax, laugh, and celebrate together before the big day. The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful. Everything went perfectly, and I honestly can't think of a single thing I would change. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it was clear that the people at Bostwick's Magnolia Manor truly put their heart and soul into making every wedding special. They genuinely care about their couples and families, and it shows in everything they do. One of the biggest blessings was having the entire estate for several days. We weren't rushing in and out like you do at so many venues. We had time to gather, make memories, and simply enjoy being together. It was the most stress-free wedding experience we could have imagined. If you're looking for more than just a venue—if you're looking for a place where your family can stay together, celebrate together, and create memories that will last a lifetime—I cannot recommend Bostwick's Magnolia Manor enough. It was everything we dreamed of and so much more. #magical!

The Garden of Eaten is the Crystal Coasts first food truck for unique, healthy, and locally sourced food. In addition to our food truck we also have a mobile wood fired pizza oven where we serve scratch made gourmet pizzas.

Garden of Eaten Food Truck is an amazing business! 15/10 would recommend for your catering needs. I reached out to Jordan about a year and a half prior to our wedding asking if he would be able to help in making our vision of having pizza at our reception come true. He kindly and enthusiastically agreed. He was easy to get in touch with, worked with us on pricing and making a customizable menu, and was kind enough to include accommodations for some of our guests with dietary restrictions. He was very flexible and professional throughout the whole process, and even came to the venue the day before our wedding with his family to scope things out and plan ahead. We were not as lucky with our other caterer in professionalism and preparedness, but Jordan was willing to help out where he could, going out of his way to make sure things went smoothly even though he didn’t have to. On top of all these other things, the pizza was so delicious. It was a big hit with our guests and something that we will remember for sure when we look back on this day. I would highly recommend Jordan and his family to anyone considering hiring them for an event. Thank you Jordan for helping to make our wedding special! We loved working with y’all!

My ethos is to be an unobtrusive observer, documenting the genuine, unscripted moments of your day as they naturally unfold.

We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen photographed my wedding and two separate engagement sessions. This stated, there is nothing more I can say than if I ever have a need for a photographer again, I'd hire her every single time! Her ability to get the perfect shot in every situation is simply amazing. Further, whether she had to take her shoes off and stand knee-deep in water, or provide firm (yet friendly) directions to friends and family after the ceremony (to get all our pictures done in time), she was as competent, kind, and professional as any photographer I've ever seen. I understand how hard it is to trust one person with capturing the most important moments of your life, but Ellen did not disappoint!

She had spreadsheets galore to support every phase of planning, making it very approachable to review vendors, track expenses, and explore resources and websites for anything we needed or were interested in researching on our own. Using her co-planning package, we were routinely impressed with Sasha's professional preparedness blended with her creativity to shape our vision for our wedding, without pushing her own agenda. As is common for throwing a wedding during hurricane season, we needed to go with our "indoor plan" due to the weather. Even though we had picked a venue that had an easy and spacious option for an indoor plan (Jennette's Pier), it was not what any of us wanted. However, Sasha met with us a few days before the wedding and had come up with the most magical plan that included flipping the room from a traditional ceremony set-up to the reception area (which she pulled off in 12 minutes!). She did this all without sacrificing the beauty we envisioned for both parts of our wedding or without disrupting the flow of cocktail hour or our guests experience. Looking back we are still in such awe of her vision, direction, and calm presence to make it all happen. Outside of the stress that comes with "how do we stay dry in this?!" we never felt a moment of stress or anxiety as we moved through the day. She had even planned a special-surprise for us as we arrived at the venue based on something she learned about us in getting to know us. Sasha is a DELIGHT to work with and you would be lucky to have her as your planner. We are lucky to get to call her our friend now.

Communication with Mrs. Donna and her team at The Barn at the Covered Bridge was effortless from start to finish. Our original plan and vision for the day was rained out, but we still had the most beautiful time thanks to their exceptional service and attention to detail. They were willing to help us with their own golf carts to get our guests to the ceremony and reception without getting wet after parking. One day we hope to go back and take pictures with the stunning sunset backdrop. Our day was beautiful because of their amazing space, rain or shine.
