About us

Our founder, Nannette Kallestad, planned some of the first weddings on the Outer Banks, back when there were only two or three other event planners in the area.

She officially formed The Proper Setting in 2005 to fill the needs of an increasing number of couples coming to the Outer Banks to get married. In 2009, Kerri met Nannette when she was in charge of the wedding program at Whalehead and a new future began.

Kerri immediately joined Nannette and over the years, The Proper Setting has, among many other things, planned events, managed venues, consulted with new event home builders and met the needs of couples from all over the world. 

The Proper Setting has evolved once more

To help ALL couples make their dreams come true no matter where in the world they are saying “I Do.”

You are unique and your event should be an authentic reflection of you. We are confident that we can help you with all aspects of planning and design. We would love to help you tell your story and, ultimately, create lasting memories with you.
