What a pleasure to work with!
Jody was so dialed in, from start to finish, for our daughter's wedding. She brought organization and calmness - both big pluses for weddings! She kept us on track in our planning, offering suggestions along the way, and made sure that when the big day arrived all was in place. Even when the baker dropped the cake upon delivery (yes, it happened!) Jody kept this father of the bride calm and guided a replacement in time. She's a pro through and through and we are so thankful she was a part of this special occasion.Jody was so dialed in, from start to finish, for our daughter's wedding.

Excellent, sweet, perfection!
Jody and her team was excellent. She communicated with me very quickly and was super nice. She took almost ALL of the stress off myself, my husband and my mom. She made our sure our day was perfect and I can’t thank her enough.Jody and her team was excellent. She communicated with me very quickly and was super nice.

Hire for dream wedding!
Jody and her team are phenomenal!! She had to deal with me as a covid bride as my wedding was rescheduled 3 times! She was so gracious and was an asset during the planning. It was a destination wedding for us and all the referrals she gave me for vendors were outstanding!! The wedding itself was beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks to Jody and her family that helped I had zero stress on my wedding day! I could not have pulled off a wedding like that without Jody!Jody and her team are phenomenal!!

Destination Wedding
I don’t know where to begin! I could not have done this without Jody! She went above and beyond! I live 3 hours from the place we wanted our wedding on the beach and we had no idea how we were going to get it done. Jody took care of everything!!! She was a pro with everything and the ceremony looked better than I ever imagined!!! Everyone told me that something always goes wrong on your wedding day, but I am blessed to say that NOTHING went wrong on our wedding day. It was absolutely perfect and I will gladly recommend Weddings By The Sea to anyone and everyone. They are very reasonably priced, very nice people, and they make your dreams come true. I am so grateful that I choose Weddings By The Sea to take care of my wedding! I was/am extremely happy!!! They are, hands down, the best!!!I don’t know where to begin!

Made our wedding day absolutely perfect
Jody and her team were amazing, from the rehearsal to the set up to the tear down, they were on it 100% of the time and ready to help at a moments notice. Before the wedding, Jody kept in constant contact with me and even went to the beach house where our wedding would be to make sure that there wasn't a lot of damage after Hurricane Dorian. She spent that extra time to make sure we were satisfied with our service and went over every little detail with us to make sure we got everything done. I don't have much experience with weddings so I really appreciated her attentiveness and her ability to get us on track-- there was so much happening on the days prior to the wedding and without her I would have been lost! They really kept things flowing on the day of and kept us on schedule! Thank you Weddings by the Sea, we had so much fun and we have you to thank for keeping us organized and providing us with such great service!Jody and her team were amazing, from the rehearsal to the set up to the tear down, they were on it 100% of the time and ready to help at a moments notice.

Stress-Free Southport Wedding
We are so thankful to have had Jody and Wedding by the Sea coordinate our wedding. We decided to use Weddings by the Sea as my husband and I lived in two different states during the planning of our wedding. Even though we only used their Day-of-Coordination package, we felt like Jody went above and beyond to make sure we thought of all the little details. She sent plenty of reminders to keep us on track with our planning progress. Communication with Jody was excellent and we always felt a sense of relieve after discussing our concerns with her. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we could not have done it, stress-free, without Jody and Weddings by the Sea staff.We are so thankful to have had Jody and Wedding by the Sea coordinate our wedding.

Best Money I've Ever Spent
I chose Weddings By the Sea because I found they had rave reviews and because they were local to my wedding venue in Southport and it was the best money I have ever spent. Everyone has things go wrong on their wedding day and my planner, Jody, took care of Evvvvrythiiiing so that I could relax and so could my bridal party. You know those girls would do anything for you, especially on your big day, but you want them WITH you, enjoying it, not running around fixing the little things. When I realized my florist didn't send over one of my bridesmaid's bouquets I told Jody and she had the florist make one up and send it to my house in under an hour. When I was minutes away from walking down the isle and we realized the ropes we planned to use for our knot tying unity ceremony were missing Jody didn't even hesitate to deconstruct her own beach bag with rope handles to replace mine. My wedding day was the best day ever and I owe so much of that to Jody and her team. My decorations were beautiful and set exactly as I had requested, even strings of lights and paper fan stars hung high in the trees. Jody is a pro and walked us through every step of our planning process and really made planning easy for me. I would whole heartedly recommend Weddings By the Sea to anyone planning a wedding. You won't regret it!I chose Weddings By the Sea because I found they had rave reviews and because they were local to my wedding venue in Southport and it was the best money I have ever spent.

Jody and her team were excellent. Planning a wedding away from home can be stressful but she was great and communicated everything I needed to do and made sure I had everything done on time. She worked with me to make my dream wedding become a reality. Everything was beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner and overall experience. I highly recommend anyone that wants to get married in Oak Island use Weddings by the Sea.Jody and her team were excellent.

Destination Wedding was a Success!
My husband and I live in Manhattan and only became familiar with the area a year ago. We got engaged on Oak Island and knew we wanted to be married there as well. I could never have pulled it off without Jody and her team. Her attention to detail, her meticulous follow up, and helping us stick to a strict timeline was invaluable. She went above and beyond my expectations. Little things I didn't even think of, were welcome surprises. It was a very stressful time, as our beach house was finishing renovation from Hurricane Florence, then the fire at Oceancrest days before our wedding-I was so nervous. Jody and her team stuck by me and made sure everything was taken care of. When we walked in to Island Way, I was struck at how beautifully decorated it was and I couldn't have been more pleased. Many guests said this was the best wedding they had ever attended and I couldn't have done it without Weddings By the Sea!My husband and I live in Manhattan and only became familiar with the area a year ago.
