Edit to the post below: Previously I gave this company a 3…read morestar review. After receiving the final edits back of my wedding photos, I am now changing to 1 since 0 is not an option. The editor did all my photos in 3 hours and it shows. There is a foot coming out of my husband's behind in the most sentimental photo we have with his grandfather. The other photo we have with him, the curtain on the arbor is distorted so poorly. There was someone's hair left in the left has side of the photo rather than cropping it out? I have attached the photos for reference. The company also left their water mark in the bottom left hand corner of ALL of my final edits. The owner either didn't review the photos before they were sent to me or thought this was a good representation of her company. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a company and I hope that someone does not make the same poor choose as I did. There are plenty other elopement ceremony companies available in the area! Please pick one of them! I recently had my wedding on Oak Island Beach, NC. We arrived and there was really no direction. So we worked through it and started the ceremony but there wasn't a speaker system or music to walk down the aisle to. No one that was there, including my husband, could hear the officiant when he was speaking. The photographer was the best part of it all! She was adorable and tried so hard to please me! The worst part of this whole thing was on Friday, the day before the ceremony, they called and asked if we were able to move the wedding to Sunday due to the staff being sick. Come to find out, only the officiant was sick but they didn't attempt to look for another before calling me. We were coming from Michigan and had people from all over fly and drive in for a Saturday ceremony. I am most upset I was put under this amount of stress less than 24 hours before the ceremony with no discount or anything offered other than we got someone.

Margo and David were great as far as being on time, and planning the wedding all together. We…read more definitely paid the price of two officiants which was fine with us we just wanted a great wedding! The reason why they only get two stars is because we had a same sex marriage and on our phone conference going over all the parts of the wedding in detail we were promised it would be how we wrote it. However, during the wedding words were changed around, things were added, and we felt uncomfortable and disappointed at our own wedding when it was not supposed to be that way. He gave the option for family members to speak and say something during the sand ceremony and that was not planned at all. David also messed the biggest part up and instead of saying "Mrs and Mrs" he said "Mr. and Mrs." And we stressed to them that this was important to us. The reason why we are so upset is because that is on all of the recordings because he did not prepare. They were friendly but the officiate needs to practice and think about how important someone's wedding day is to them especially a same sex wedding.

Hiring this photographer for my beach wedding photos was indeed the worst decision I've ever made…read more What started as a warm and friendly experience, turned into an absolute nightmare for our family. The photographer (Margo Sears) apparently cannot handle rejection or when a client is not satisfied with her work. Instead of treating a complaint professionally and courteously, she resorts to disrespect, insults and taking personal shots at the client. Please take a moment to read my story. I can tell you; this photographer is not at all who she initially portrayed her to be. The photo session took place on the evening of Sunday, July 30th, 2017 at Sunset Beach, NC which included me, my husband, our eight-year-old daughter, and my mom. Sometime after our photo session, I received an email from Margo informing me that the balance was paid in full (We paid a total of $354 which included an enhancement add-on) and the photos were being shipped to us on a flash drive. She also stated we could preview a few of the pics on their Facebook page. However, we were not happy with the preview photos we saw because they were not flattering and the quality was lower than expected, so I emailed Margo back "Hi Margo, I'm not happy with the photos. Can you please take them down from facebook? " She responded " I am very sorry. They are gone from Facebook now. There are over 100 pics on this flashdrive so maybe there are many others you will like instead. I thought you looked lovely in these, especially in the difficult conditions we had of very low light and crowded beach. But if the problem is one I can fix, please let me know. Otherwise, blessings to you. Warm sand, Margo" After we received the flashdrive with the photos, I extended an olive branch, I sent an email that I happy with some of the pics from the flashdrive and I would send a list of ones to add to their site. "--- Margo's next and last response to me took us all by total surprise.. Due to the character limit I cannot post the full thread. "Hey, I am very glad you like them now. Don't send me anything--the posting on Facebook was a preview for your benefit only. Since you have all pics now, we don't need a preview anymore, dear. It's all good now. Honest moment now, woman to woman, Latoya. I just want to give you a heads up that as a professional, I took your rejection of my photos very seriously. It upset me a great deal and I worked extra hard on this project. Now you say there wasn't anything wrong with those pics after all. While I am glad that's the case, I do feel jerked around, sad, and under-appreciated. I did more than most photographers would because I am nice, and your daughter and mom were also awesome. Now, I am truly sorry if my words upset you, but that isn't my point-- Please be very careful what you reject or say negative to her as time goes by.... . I'm a grown woman, older than you, and you hurt my feelings without meaning to....-- My response - Hi Margo, Reading your email, I am truly in shock however not too surprised. You call yourself a "professional" and a "follower of God," however sending such a nasty, judgemental and rude response to a client (human being for that matter) who has paid for your services is nowhere near professional or Godlike. I'm not sure what your end goal was here, but if it was for me to lose respect for you as a person, and regret using your services at all, then I guess you have succeeded...."-- We are discussing legal options as we were not going to promote this business after such an awful experience. My husband has said that it is sad that he is defending this country for individuals of her character. I've posted my review on the WeddingWire.com and The Knot. She disputed my initial review on WeddingWire, and I had to redo it. She also responded to my review on The Knot. However, Margo's response is under investigation for inappropriate content. Please Be Aware.

My husband and I made the brilliant decision to have Coastal Catering provide their amazing food…read morefor our intimate wedding last night and we couldn't be more thrilled! The food was incredible (mini crab cakes, stuffed mini potatoes, tuna with seaweed salad, and filo cups with Brie for apps and orange glazed chicken and shrimp and grits for the main course). Christie and Joe showed up early, prepared all of the food and made sure everything was set for when we arrived home from the wedding. Joe manned the kitchen while Christie made sure the appetizers kept coming! They even cleaned up the kitchen and put the leftovers in the fridge. We couldn't be happier that we chose Coastal Catering!

Even though our event was probably very small by his usual standards, I felt Joe gave me complete attention during the planning phase, making me feel like he really cared and would do as good a job for our small dinner party- as he would for a wedding of 500! The menu was Top Chef-level creative, the food was beyond delicious- and the presentation was first class all the way. I would recommend Joe and Coastal Catering and Events to anyone, for anything! You will be wowed!
