Beth and Tom's Wedding Week

Daniel and Kate were wonderful photographers- great team! The pictures were amazingly beautiful. Highly recommended!

Minister Bonnie Williams IS THE BEST!!! We had a ceremony on the beach among 70 of our closest friends and family. Sue Artz is an AMAZING violinist (ceremony) AND DJ (reception). Our florist was Jinny McBride @ Every Blooming Thing. She was GREAT! Our cake baker was Heather McDaniels. She bakes cakes on the side. She was very affordable and our cake tasted and looked WONDERFUL!! Last but not least- Daniel & Kate Pullen were our photographers. They were great and the pics were beautiful.

We rented from Midget Realty. The Atlantis South house was AMAZING!!! Especially the living room and the beautiful, large windows. The view was breathtaking, it was right on the beach and we had our own pool. It was the perfect size for our wedding of 70. Our wedding was in late July during "prime time" so it's definitely pricier during this time. Take this into consideration ($9K+ including taxes during prime time- for 7 days).

Only a couple of our guests stayed here (most rented houses) but they spoke very highly of the place. It seemed very clean and you could choose the newer, non-smoking rooms or the older smoking rooms overlooking the sound. It got good ratings on www.tripadvisor.com.

Fun to come here and fish and/or bring a cooler of beer and watch people fish.

The best pizza on the island.

Adorable coffee shop with internet connections.

The rehearsal dinner at The Inn at Pamlico Sound was mediocre besides the fact that they ran out of food!! DO NOT book Brian Slaski, "Executive Chef, Private Chef and Catering @ The Inn on Pamlico Sound". He's horrible and rude and even got into an argument with my husband on our wedding night about our final bill, etc. He was rude to my friends coming in and out of our house, as well (our reception was at our beach rental house). Lastly, they promised a bartender for us during the reception IN WRITING several months before-hand and when it came time for the reception, there was NO BARTENDER. This is a condensed version of all of the horror that we went through. PLEASE DO NOT book with them. Ugh.

We rented our tables, chairs, bamboo poles for the beach ceremony and tent for the rehearsal dinner here. No complaints.

Great escape on a rainy day.

Got my hair done here. They were great! My hair looked great and they were so good to my little 6 year-old niece/flower girl, who also got an up-do. I highly recommend their massages...especially before your own wedding!!

Good food and on the water. The restaurants on the island don't serve liquor; only wine and beer.

Day trip to Ocracoke Island is highly recommended!

Great shops and ice cream shop!
