Annie L. Sent on 06/26/2023Absolutely amazing team & all-inclusive experience!
We used every service I Do OBX provides for our destination wedding in Corolla. This included officiating, coordination, DJ, florals, lighting, equipment/decor rental (both ceremony & reception), and videography. When beginning to pick vendors, it seemed like a daunting task as we were unfamiliar with the vendors in the area. After meeting the owners Tony & Mary at the OBX Wedding Expo & seeing their work, it made the decision easy. It was so clear how kind & passionate they were about what they do, as well as how much experience they had. They were both so helpful during the entire planning process, and were able to offer so many recommendations & advice. They had done many weddings at our venue alone and knew exactly what would work best.
We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and personal our ceremony was. Tony went above and beyond to get to know my husband and me before the wedding. It was very clear Tony had been officiating for a long time, as he thought of everything. He stepped out of the way for photos for not only our first kiss, but also sand ceremony & vows. He had my husband and I switch sides according to the way the wind was blowing so my veil & hair weren't in my face. He added his own personal touches to the 'standard" ceremony'. I had never seen an officiant be as detail-oriented as Tony.
Shirley was our month-of coordinator and she was the BEST. Her and Mary answered my countless questions and had many meetings with me to discuss every last detail leading up to the wedding. She handled EVERYTHING, from reaching out to vendors prior to that day to finalize the timeline, setting up the space with the team SO perfectly, instructing our 21-person bridal party with EASE, and so so much more. She truly made our day stress-free and so smooth. She's a PRO.
Alec was our DJ and everyone LOVED him! Alec knew we wanted our wedding to be a big dance party and he did not disappoint. We had 70 people at our wedding and when I tell you everyone was on the dance floor all night, I mean it! Alec was so fun & involved--he even jumped in the pool with us at the end of the night :) Music is arguably one of the most important parts of a wedding and we would hire Alec over and over again.
Videography was something we had been on the fence about in the early stages of planning our wedding, but after just seeing our teaser alone--WOW we could not be happier. This crew is TALENTED and made it so worth it! They were so enjoyable to work with and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. They took my inspo & vision and made it even better than I could have asked for. From the drone shots to the music choice, they nailed it all. We are so thankful that they have allowed us to re-live our day over and over again so perfectly.
Our venue was an event home in Corolla and the I Do OBX team florals, lighting, and equipment/decor rentals completely transformed this space into an absolutely dream. The florals were exactly what I wanted. They listened to what I asked for and ran with it--they truly have the magic touch. The lighting was so beautifully designed and made the space feel so cozy & well-lit. It was a must-have. This team is extremely familiar with these venues and they know just how to elevate these spaces in the most incredible and creative ways.
I could go on and on about how much I love this team but I will end with saying that you will not regret booking I Do OBX for your wedding. Each individual service will blow you away but seeing them ALL work together was just absolutely magical. Thank you all for making our dream wedding a reality!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
I tried to describe the love I saw and felt from you two and it was easy, but also difficult to put into words when you see perfection:) We all saw that in you two and your wonderful families and friends! From the first time we all met and when you two were blessed to have won our giveaway, we knew this was meant to be. And then to see it all come to life from all of us listening to what you had envisioned was spectacular! Our story together isn't over Annie! We will be doing more fun things together in life, I am sure of that. Much love and happiness to the McCarthy's! We all here love you and can't wait to enjoy more of life's great moments with you!! HUGS! The I Do OBX Family:) -

Lauren M. Sent on 06/21/2024I DO OBX did an amazing job!
There are simply not enough good things to say about I DO OBX. We got married at the Kitty Hawk Pier House and I DO OBX worked seamlessly with event staff to coordinate all aspects of our wedding day, which included, but was not limited to, chair setup, staging and decorating the arbor on the pier, lighting, draperies, flower and seating displays, as well as bride and groom table setup. Their team was prompt, efficient, came and went without being noticed. It was as seamless as it gets.
Our first phone call with Tony was about what we wanted on our wedding day. He was detailed and asked many questions to ensure he had every detail to make our day perfect. I sent pictures of exactly what we wanted, and they made suggestions that enhanced and improved what we thought was already perfect. The prices were very reasonable, and they had flexible payment plans. I even had two last minute bouquets I needed that they were able to make happen. As a result, everything turned out beautifully! I highly recommend them!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Lauren, for these beautiful words:) I will make sure out team knows how much you loved every part of your day! Can't wait to see photos:)) Honored to have helped bring you vision to life! HUGS! -

Kathy P. Sent on 07/01/2024I Do OBX helped to make my daughter's wedding a MAGICAL day!
From start to finish, the talented, professional, kind crew at I Do OBX knocked it out of the park! I could tell during my first meeting with Tony and with all the future interactions with Mary that my daughter and I made the right choice in trusting them to help make her wedding day everything (and more) that she wanted. They were responsive, patient, friendly and most of all - excited for Micah and Derrick's big day. They listened attentively to our special requests and then Kristen stepped in to lend a hand - she helped our vision to add the felt florals I made to the arbor provided by I Do OBX come true. I was blown away when I walked with my husband and daughter down the aisle on the pier towards the arbor on the wedding day. Just wow! The I Do OBX crew made magic happen. I'm still smiling. Thank you to the entire team for helping to make it an all around spectacular day!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Thankful that y'all found us and so happy you were thrilled with the results, Kathy, for Micah and Derrick's OBX Wedding:) We hope to see you again in the future and send us pics when you get them! Much love and happiness to you and the entire family! -

One stop shop for a blissful wedding!
Our intimate elopement was so special thanks to I Do OBX. We chose the “you, me & the sea” package getting us all the necessities and doing away with all the extra. I only had to focus on picking my dress and our wedding bands and Tony truly handled the rest! He coordinated a perfect destination wedding for us since we are from PA and had clear communication every step of the way! Tony considered us in every detail and provided a wonderful service. -

Professional experience with a family feel!
While we vacation in the Outer Banks every year, planning a destination wedding out of state felt overwhelming until we found I Do OBX. As a company they are detail-oriented wedding professionals, and as people they are warm and welcoming.
We first met the I Do OBX team at a wedding expo about 6 months before our wedding, and we knew immediately that we had found the right people to bring our vision together. Upon meeting us for the first time Tony hugged us as if we were old friends. Leading up to our wedding, Tony took the time to get to know us as a couple. He incorporated our story into our ceremony in such a beautiful and thoughtful way. Multiple friends and family members told us that they would consider getting married in OBX just to have Tony as their officiant!
At the wedding expo, we also had the chance to meet our DJ, Alec. We cannot say enough about how wonderful Alec was! There was quite a range of ages and taste in music at our wedding, but Alec played something for everyone. At the end of the night Alec even jumped in the pool with my husband, which brought smiles and laughter to the entire party.
Every detail of our wedding day was perfect, thanks to I Do OBX. They designed the most beautiful set up on the beach for our ceremony, including all of the florals! They also transformed the outdoor space at our house into a dance floor, complete with lighting.
Tony, Alec, and the entire I Do OBX staff were there to answer any questions we had and make recommendations when we needed them. Tony even recommended our wedding photographer (Jonathon Pillow), who was also an absolute delight to work with!
We owe a huge thank you to the I Do OBX family for making our wedding even more beautiful than we could have dreamed!

Great memories! We had a blast with you and Jeff as well my friend:) Hope all is going well for you two and hope to see you on the beach again to say hello! Much love and happiness to the Cunningham's!! -

I have zero complaints. They were on top of it with communication. I never once questions the order of event or how things were going to go. All the paperwork was easily understandable and helped set the tone for my wedding planning. The set up crew was quick and efficient. Everyone was very nice and easy to speak to and work with. -

Andy B. Sent on 05/28/2024My Daughter wedding on 5-24-23 Amber and Brandon Westfall.
The beach wedding was absolutely amazing. The weather started out not looking good on Friday. Tony and his crew went in to action and started the wedding a few hours early because there was a window where there was no rain. The arbor, flowers and chairs all set up were fantastic. The sun showed up at the right time. Tony was absolutely fantastic. Toni made it all about them. I don’t know how to thank you for making it a special day for my daughter and my new son-in-law. Thanks again, Andy Bradel.I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
It was truly an honor Andy and thank you for your kind words. I am blessed to see all the good in the world and thank you for seeing that I put my heart into every ceremony I am a part of:)
I will give you a holler when I head north on my next trip! We can have a beer!

Ginger L. Sent on 06/09/2024Michelle & Landon's DWCC Wedding
From the very beginning we had a vision of exotic greens, color bursts and to transform the DWCC ballroom into the Roaring 20's Great Gatsby themed wedding. Shirley was amazing to work with! She just got it and played with styles, heights, colors, vessels and lighting until the vision came into fruition. The transformation of the ballroom was amazing! The outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour all looked beautiful. The goal is always for the bride and groom to be blown away at the ballroom reveal and I Do OBX nailed!! Alec our DJ was also amazing and very flexible. We had a children's marching band during the Processional, and he made it happen! I highly recommend I Do OBX.I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for this and the personal emails you sent to our team! You are the best! Wish I could have met you as well and hope to someday. So happy that the vision came to life and we can't wait to see more photos of the entire day from beginning to the end of the night! Much love and happiness to the Countryman's:)) -

Renee C. Sent on 06/03/2024The Perfect Vendor for the Perfect Day
I truly can’t say enough about I Do OBX. We wanted to do an intimate beach elopement, but ideally I wanted an arbor for us to say our vows under, photography, beautiful florals, and a solid person to marry us. We couldn’t have met a more perfect match to meet our needs! Great price, flexible payment plans, and besides a few decisions along the way, it was all thoughtless and stress-free! Everyone exclaimed the week of how calm and cool I was, I knew that I could trust I Do OBX and they had everything under control.
We loved sitting down and meeting with Tony beforehand and walked away knowing we had the perfect person to marry us. The day of, he texted to make sure all was good and because it was a little bit chillier than expected out, wanted to see if we wanted to move the time or make any changes. The crew who came who set everything up were fantastic and so nice. Kaylee, our photographer, was wonderful and we are so thankful for the shots that she captured. Tony used his expertise upon arrival, hopping in to fasten my husband’s boutonnière and ensuring everything went according to plan and smooth sailing.
While our guest count was small, everyone raved about how beautiful everything looked and how amazing Tony was with the ceremony. It was everything we could’ve asked for, and more. Thank you SO much, I Do OBX!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
You all were the best and I will make sure everyone know you ever so kind words my friend. Like I said, you are stuck with us now:) It was a blessed day and a beautifully cool evening to have stood with you both on your new beginning:) Much love and happiness to the Cahill's!! Give Devon a hug and tell her she did a great job! -

If you’re getting married on the beach, IDoOBX is a MUST!
We got married at the Kitty Hawk Pierhouse on 5/11 and Tony, Mary, and the IDoOBX team were a HUGE part of why our special day went so smoothly and was absolutely perfect. I met Tony at the OBX wedding expo in 2023 and my mom and I both instantly felt the best energy from him, and knew that we wanted to work with him. From the entire ceremony setup and florals, to the lighting and draping in the pierhouse, they made our vision come to life with so much attention to detail(including ones we hadn’t yet thought of, which was a life saver!). We got an endless amount of compliments on Tony’s officiating services and comments about how professional and well spoken he was, as well as how beautiful he made our ceremony from start to finish. We even had multiple people tell us it was the best ceremony they had ever heard. Tony took the time to get to know us and by the time our big day came, he felt like family and really helped to ease our wedding day jitters! If you are getting married in the OBX, I can guarantee that you need at least one of the many services this team offers, and they will be life savers as they were for us!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Love you Allie and thank you for choosing me and us to be a part of your new beginning with you and Austin! Thank you for those beautiful words. Touched my heart:)
Much love and happiness to the Bruton's!!! -

Incredible
The IDoOBX team was incredible from start to finish. Mary and Tony were responsive starting 2 years before our wedding when we were just trying to figure out if our dream day was even a possibility. As we continued to go through the planning process, they continued to help us make our visions come to life despite some of the complicated details of our Hindu-American fusion wedding ceremony. Our ceremony required a “mandap” or stage as the altar, which was very new and unique for weddings on the Outer Banks. Despite not being done before, Tony and Mary rose to the challenge and sourced EXACTLY what we needed. Not only did they do the research and purchase the stage, they went out of their way to test it ahead of time to ensure it met THEIR high standards.
The set-up team was thorough, efficient, and polite throughout the week and they really gave 100% effort setting up our ceremony in our gale force winds! The team was flexible and ultimately helped our day look fabulous.
Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part you your family during this process!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Mr and Mrs. Persaud:)) First, thank you for the opportunity to have been a part of a wedding that we will never forget. Christina, when Mary and I saw the photos of you from Kasey, we both looked at each other and said that you were the most beautiful bride we have ever seen and we have seen a bunch:) So happy despite mother nature with the wind and tides, that you and Andrew loved our team design to your vision for you to be under to start your new beginning! This was a great adventure and your words bring tears to our eyes knowing we accomplished what you wanted. Can't wait to see more photos and sorry I haven't called you yet. We have been crazy, but soon will have some time to breather here in June. Much love and happiness to the Persaud's!!! Chachi and Fonzie says hi!:)) -

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect | MS -> NC Wedding
My now wife and I originally met in the Outer Banks of North Carolina while she was stationed there with the Coast Guard. We knew for our wedding we would have to bring it back to where it all started.
Tony and IDoOBX's reviews absolutely speak for themselves - and paired with an introductory call, we quickly made our decision that we wanted to work with them.
It can be stressful planning a wedding in a location that you live half way across the country from, but Tony's organization and consistent communication kept us stress free - knowing that he was on top of things. We had several phone calls, an in-person meeting and a Zoom call where he really took the time to learn us and our story. It was clear he cared about our wedding as much as we did.
All of this time we spent talking was worth it when it came time for the ceremony as it was an absolute tear-jerker. He highlighted how we originally met, our first date, and even paid tribute to my wife's 7 year military service (he even shouted out our foster dog that made the trek from MS). Every single person in attendance for our wedding had nothing but positive things to say about everything that was said.
Neither me nor my wife ever really had a "dream wedding," but if we did, it would have been what the team at IDoOBX helped bring to life. The florals and decor from top to bottom were out of this world - words can't even do them justice (which is why we have pictures). Their entire crew is friendly, personable and was overall just happy to be a part of our special day.
Tony and team, we appreciate everything you did for us and we truly loved working with you. We are happy to think of you as family.I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for trusting us Andrew:) Was truly an honor to stand with you and Taryn and to bring your vision to life at the Westside Inn. Can't wait to make more memories with y'all in the future. Much love my friend! -

Working with Mary and Tony was seamless. They made notes of our daughter’s requests. Sent photos and maintained a dialogue with us and our wedding planner to ensure that all of our daughter’s wishes were addressed. The special driftwood wedding arch was so beautiful and the decor in the KHPH was perfect!
I highly recommend them.
Thanks for everything!

Perfection!
I DO OBX was absolutely phenomenal and highly recommended for anyone to use whether it be a wedding like mine or any other event. The team is all inclusive to include set up, decorations, officiant, DJ and everything in between. My floral arrangement was so beautiful. The venue was like a dream. Everyone raved about the attention to detail in the overall ambience of the space. My officiant, Jake, walked us through the whole process and made the whole day seem easy. Our DJ, Alec, not only kept the music blasting but also was spectacular at announcing and the order of events. A special thanks to Tony and Mary as they made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with even though I knew they had their hands full. They listen to every word I said, and the million of changes that I had, accommodating for each and everyone. Thank you I DO OBX!I Do OBX Weddings and Events's reply:
You were the best to work with my friend and thank you for your kind words and will let everyone know how happy you were with everything! Can't wait to see more pics and please keep in touch! Also, thank you for sending back the items. Really appreciate that:)
