Patrick asked Colleen to be his bride this past May and they are GETTING MARRIED nearly ten years to the day after they first met (September 13, 2011) right here in Nags Head.  Colleen and Patrick vacationed on the Outer Banks last August and loved our little piece of heaven so much, they knew they would someday want to have their wedding here.  Over sixty family members and friends from their homeland of Ohio and various locations will be joining them for their special day. 

First, they had to find the ideal oceanfront location to accommodate all of their guests, and fun reception they intend to have all in one spot.  After going online and searching various rental homes, Village Realty offered the perfect solution with their 8 bedroom “Beach Boys” house in Nags Head, that easily sleeps 20+ guests.  The rental cottage comes complete with pool, hot tub, six and half baths , theatre room, game room, fireplace and double kitchen…and it’s right across the dune to the ocean, where their wedding ceremony will be held on the beach, officiated by a close family friend.

Colleen was delighted when she and her fiancé arrived for the Outer Banks Wedding Association’s annual Wedding EXPO last week and were able to actually get the keys and take a walking tour of the house imagining their dreams coming true next September.    “I can’t say enough about how kind and awesome the people we met from Village Realty were to us!” 

At the EXPO, Colleen and Patrick confirmed their decisions by meeting in person with their photographer, Alexandra Couey from ALC Photography and John from Metro Rental, who wisely suggested using custom benches instead of chairs for their sandy-bottom ceremony.  “Having our wedding on the Outer Banks as opposed to a more commercialized beach destination was our goal.  We don’t like the crowds or traffic in Myrtle Beach and we wanted something that was more personal.  We found it quite affordable and we’re especially delighted that we’ve chosen vendors who are so willing to accommodate and help make this day special for us.” 

Colleen and Patrick chose the “Outer Banks Taco Bar” from Kitty Hawk as their catering service for the reception because they always enjoyed eating there while vacationing and they both really like the owner, Gabe.  Colleen was impressed to learn the Taco Bar uses fresh vegetables from local farms and supporting the locals plays an important part in all of their choices.  In addition and most importantly, “Their food is just phenomenal!”

While chatting with Colleen about her Village Realty choice, we both agreed that the folks at Village Realty are ideal and easily become fast friends, welcoming and accommodating, professional and they sincerely go above and beyond.

For Colleen and Patrick, their Village Realty Nags Head home is where their story begins….
