Hi knotties!
New to the board just sent my date for November 17 at the Pier and am trying to plan this wedding from out of state too. My fiancee and I are both from VA we met in undergrad at CNU and now we live in IL where he is getting his doctorate so trying to plan from afar. I have always loved the OBX though and cannot see myself getting married anywhere else.
I have been reading the boards for the last few days and have really loved the suggestions. My parents went to the expo on my behalf and said they were so overwhelmed by all the options. I am wondering though I am interested in using Mulligans as my caterer, they are the only ones that have been consistent in their responses and have come up with a fabulous and well priced menu for us, has anyone ever used them for a special event? They are a pretty well know bar and grill and I like that their food is comforting and not pretentious. I don't need caviar or anything.
Also is or has anyone ever rented a photo booth around there? I would really like some suggestions on who was fun and who had a great product. You can never really tell from their websites.
Thank you ladies for all your great suggestions, based on recommendations here I am thinking of using Matt Lusk as my photographer and he has been very prompt with his and very reasonably priced I think. Alright any suggestions would be much appreciated

Thanks!
the future Dr. and Mrs Diggs

Re: Photo Booths, Catering and intro.... November 17th at Jennette's Pier
My SIL and her BF are seniors at CNU! What a small world
Jennette's Pier is gorgeous and you have made a fabulous choice! Your guests are going to be in for a real treat. I can't recall any of the brides using Mulligan's, so I'm not any help on that. I think one of the other Knotties was considering using a photo booth, so hopefully she will pop in here and offer suggestions.
Matt Lust is a fabulous choice and many of us have used him! He was booked for my day, so I am envious of all of the ones that do actually get to use him. As far as officiants go, I know that Rev. Jay Bowman is highly sought after and a lot of the ladies/grooms are using him as well.
If there is anything you need at all, please don't hesitate to ask!

We would love to do a photobooth but I don't think we'll have it in our budget. Carly - who is your photographer, out of curiosity?
We are using Matt Lusk for photography and LOVE HIM! For officiants, if Rev. Jay is booked, as he was for us, we also really liked Dave Keller, our choice
