Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

Where to even begin?! We met Coby at a bridal show and she was so warm and open right from the beginning. We met for coffee and discussed how we wanted our wedding to be, and we just knew she was who we wanted as our photographer. She helped with planning so when our wedding day arrived, it was simply perfect! We woke up the day after our wedding to beautiful sneak peeks and our whole wedding album was complete a few weeks later. The whole process was simply amazing!

  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Apex, NC

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way! We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There's the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Apex, NC

It is the biggest honor to photograph your wedding. Your wedding is a day you hope to remember for the rest of your life and I don’t take my role as a wedding photographer lightly. Whether you’re a newly engaged couple looking for a photographer for your wedding or just an engagement session I have something for you! The best moments on your wedding day are the unexpected, intimate moments.

I will post and gush about Katey as a photographer for forever. She has been a WONDERFUL woman to work with. When I first posted looking for a photographer - instead of pitching me on the phone, we met on a video call - talked about me, my wedding vision, and I never felt any pressure from her. ( I knew on the call I wanted her but what is life without a little suspense) Since then she has been a dream. She is SO communicative, she has been flexible, and it was so comfortable to be photographed by her. Besides having the actual BEST experience - both in how she worked to make it comfortable for everyone (me and my husband) and then (me and all of our families on the day of). she is also a KILLER photographer - I will always always always refer back to her incredible skill with how she photographed my day. She truly has her own vision for capturing all of (and ofcourse the best) moments in a wedding. I cannot say enough nice things about Katey. ** funnily enough my sister in law got married about two weeks before me and ended up liking Katey's pictures in our wedding better than her own. So if you read nothing but my last sentence - you will truly love working with Katey - your pictures will turn out incredible and it will be such a great and natural experience.

Hey! I’m Dareece and I would love to do your hair for your wedding or special event. I have over 10 years in the hair industry and styling hair for special occasions is my specialty. Patience, great listening skills, and attention to detail are several attributes current and past brides/clients use to describe me. I offer a no judgement zone and a calm demeanor when on location.

I absolutely loved my hair and Dareece was amazing to work with. She took my ideas and pictures and came up with my dream wedding hair. I didn’t think I could have the big braid and the messy bun and she did it beautifully. She did the hair of my bridal party flawlessly dealing with a lot of opinionated and picky women! She was joyful and fun to be around and put me at ease. I highly recommend you hire Dareece and Versatility studio for your wedding day. You will love your hair!

Well, after looking through the images on this page you might notice a theme...natural, radiant, glowy, NEVER CAKEY, makeup. And that's not a coincidence. After 5 years in the industry, owner Samara Perchick has become known for her effortless, soft-glam style that is recognizable and sought-after throughout the Triangle. Her main goal is for clients to look in the mirror and recognize their reflection and feel like an elevated but natural version of themselves.

When I decided to walk down the aisle a second time, my priority was finding the right person to help my daughter and me look our best on our big day. I was so fortunate to have found Samara! Samara came highly recommended by a friend, and I couldn't have been happier with our experience. As an older bride, I was worried about looking overdone, but Samara's expertise put me at ease, and once she worked her magic, I truly felt like a glowing bride! We had many compliments on our makeup that day – and I was so pleased to see how fabulous we looked in our photographs. Samara puts the “artist” in makeup artist – she has an eye for accentuating your best features and making you feel like a million bucks.

Halifax Hill Studios

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We knew after speaking to Giuliana on the phone that we wanted to book with her. Our wedding was at the Victorian so we knew she was the expert on places for photo and how the space worked. She is such a fun (and cool) person and she worked with such a peace and ease on our wedding day. I felt like as soon as she arrived, the day was just full of fun things! She gives clear yet inviting direction with poses (we as a couple and individuals definitely liked having someone direct us in posing so we didn't just stand there awkwardly). I never felt like she was bossing us around and she asked several times if there were additional things we wanted photographed or groups of people. Giuliana made us feel right at home in front of her camera and our pictures are INCREDIBLE. I cannot speak enough to her patience and ease with family photos, portraits, and other vendors. I felt like she had quite the challenge with all of our portraits and things going on but she handled it with such ease and it truly flew by. We actually ended up with extra time to be alone during cocktail hour which we wanted but I was never sure we would actually get it with our photo list, but she made it happen! We also had Giuliana come up to us in DC for our engagement shoot which was so much fun. We had a blast shooting at the monuments and she handled the people and weather changes with such an ease which took a lot of stress off of us!

Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

While posing for photos can be a bit awkward and stiff, Ariel and Alex make it FUN and make you loosen up and ditch the nerves on your wedding day. Ariel went above and beyond to capture 'the shot' on my wedding day... She stood on a porch banister and crouched in a bush to get what she needed. I know she will do this for all of her couples, even though I want to believe she did this only for me. Ariel has an eye for details, light, and capturing what is real, authentic and stunning. She makes her couples feel seen, and makes friends with her couples, so the couple can enjoy those special moments and ultimately, their special day. Her organization skills and attention to details are impeccable and she honestly kept everyone else on track on the wedding day, and let me say this... THIS MATTERS SO MUCH since time does fly on your big day. I don't remember much about my other vendors, (as a couple, you spend the most face time with your photographers) but I do remember my photographers and I consider myself lucky to have found and booked Ariel, and even luckier now that I've convinced them to stay friends with me and my husband. So with all that said, if you're looking for a personable, fun, photographer, who delivers stunning photos that you'll cherish forever LOOK NO FURTHER. Book with Ariel, you can thank me later!

CWDJ - Luxury Wedding DJ

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,895
  • Serves Apex, NC

After being in the music industry as a recording artist, working for many of the biggest DJ companies in Raleigh and being a morning show radio host in Raleigh for six years, I decided to create my own award winning wedding entertainment company where you can get personalized luxury DJ services. We now have over 85 amazing five star reviews on google from past brides and we’re fully insured.

Frankie was phenomenal!! The ceremony music, dance songs, and other important songs were exactly as we imagined! And everything flowed so smoothly from one dance to the next. The cocktail and dinner music was perfect and the dance floor was packed and overflowing all night, from the moment it opened to the very last song!! Frankie even brought the party right back when we had not one but two pauses in the dancing because the groom had lost his ring and there was a false alarm that it was found (he had taken it off to wash his hands). We heard all of our must plays that we knew would be big hits with our guests and also had some importance to us. Frankie knew exactly what to play for all the other songs and followed the crowds energy perfectly. I might be a little biased, but it was the most fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve ever been to. I could not recommend him more!!

Hello my name is Mirabela, I am a wife, a mom and a woman on the go. Standing still is not in my nature! Many might wonder how did you come up with that name? Well my first born, was my inspiration, my drive. Sofia for the longest time couldn't pronounce the letter S and she would call herself Fofia. She has thought me to be a better person and made me a new me. The Sailboat on my logo represents my son Hunter known as Captain Hunter. There is many ways to look at things, and what of a better way other than capturing those angles with my camera. I don't just capture pictures, I capture a story, Your Story!

Mirabella takes the time to get to know you and brings your vision to life.

Moira was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Not only was she flexible in the ever changing craziness of the day, but she made it so fun! We laughed pretty much the whole day through and it literally felt like we were working with a friend. On top of all that, the photos that we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing! She really captured the best parts of the entire day.

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

If you are looking for a make up artist or hairstylist for your next event, look no further. I was fortunate to have Starlit Beauty Co. do my make up for a wedding last year and was blown away. I’ll definitely book again for my next event.

Hello! Mekai here. Welcome to Sparks + Sand Floral Design! •••To start off I’d just like to say thank you. Even if you’re just checking the page out. Thank you! •• I’m here to enhance your events with florals that reflect you best! I was born and raised in Palm Springs, California and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina a little over a year ago now. I am a one-woman team when it comes to my business, but I'm also a fiance and step-mom to two rad kids and I am the happiest I've ever been. I would love nothing more than to connect with you and help you reach your flower dreams!!

We have had sparks and sand at Lucky Star Ranch multiple times and she has been great every time. We are a small family ranch venue in the middle of the desert and she is always more than happy to help where she can even if it has nothing to do with her flowers. I've never seen a disappointed client or staff member after chatting with her. Mekai works really hard to make sure everyone is happy and will go above and beyond. We're always happy to see Sparks and Sand is coming back.
