Nannette Kallestad, owner of The Proper Setting wedding planning services, has worked in many of the special event homes used for weddings on the Outer Banks. Join her for a very helpful discussion on ways to best use the home that you have rented for your celebration, how to avoid problems, and how to make sure that you are the bride and not the manager of the logistics involved at the home. A very informative take away checklist will be provided with the workshop.
Rentals – (almost always) Last But Certainly Not Least
The in’s and out’s of making the most of your rental budget (or lack thereof). What to think about when planning a beach wedding and reception. What to remember and what to make sure you don’t forget.
How to Personalize Your Ceremony
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and greatest days of your lives. A time in your life that is this momentous should be personal and unique to the two of you. That ‘personalization’ can sometimes get a little lost when you are having a destination wedding and working with wedding vendors that you don’t have any sort of personal history with. This session will give you several examples of ways to ensure that your wedding ceremony is indeed personal and unique.

Having the best photos possible takes just a little planning!
