We worked with Sally and always felt 10x better about the process after meeting with her. She put our minds at ease about everything from how to address our wedding invitations to how to tip our vendors. Living out of town could have made scheduling trickier, but Sally always made time for us on the weekends. Her happy personality and personal connections with most of our vendors made planning a breeze, and she took charge of coordinating with the caterers, linen rentals, DJ, photographer and more to ensure that everyone was on the right schedule and our rental numbers were accurate. The day of, there was no detail out of place. Every time I saw Sally and her team they were smiling and offering their help to us and our guests, including treating us to some plates of food and a bottle of champagne in the town car to take home. She and her team made it very easy to drop off our decorations the day before the wedding and pick them up the day after at their office downtown. Honestly it was the best day ever and we have Sally to thank for helping it go smoothly and stress-free!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Lange and her amazing team at Bubbly Events for…read moreour wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly cannot imagine our day without her. From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else's opinions or just a generic "vision"...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way. In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor'easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I'll always be grateful for. On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate. Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

It's rumored that she walks 60,000 steps for a wedding. She was graceful, polite and seems to love what she's doing. I am impressed.

We cannot say enough great things about Heather and Port City Event Planners. We were challenged…read morewith planning a wedding in a short amount of time, Heather not only came through, she knocked it out of the park for us. Every detail was handled and executed by Heather and her team flawlessly. She takes a very hands on approach to planning and designing a wedding, the communication was awesome and my wife and I never felt stressed about everything being handled. Another great thing about Port City and Heather is that not only do they plan the wedding, they also provide the flowers which helps Heather execute her vision perfectly. If you are planning a wedding or any large event, we highly recommend Heather and Port City Event Planners; there truly cannot be a better option. Use her, you will not be disappointed. Alex

She handled the design of all florals, our invitations, wedding day decor, lighting, programs, down to the various minor details of the day... she planned, designed and executed them all. She executed the plan & coordinated our ceremony & rehearsal beautifully! The service was exceptional; everyone in our wedding party & all our family agreed that she was the star player of the day.

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.
