Justin was amazing throughout the wedding planning process. As part of the package he took our engagement photos, this was to help get to know us and what we liked and didn't like. I think this was part of the reason we were so comfortable during the wedding. My family really enjoyed interacting with Justin and was amazing with how many photos he took during the ceremony and at the reception. We also had a 2 hour gap between the ceremony and reception, and I think that helped with taking out time to get all the family photograph and couple pictures. During the engagement and ceremony we had out dog involved, and got some amazing photos with Lilly, which was great. Justin's style is a little more muted, and looks amazing with the outdoor locations we choose for the engagement and ceremony. He did a great job of capturing both posed and candid photos, and helped us get comfortable with the 'posed candid' photos of us walking or goofing off. Can't wait to get the rest of our wedding photos, but the engagement and sample we've gotten was amazing.

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The Victorian in July 2023, and we cannot say enough praise about this venue. From the moment Brian gave us a tour, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is full of charm and intimacy, which made us certain we’d feel surrounded by our loved ones all day and evening. We loved the ability to get ready in the gorgeous bridal suite filled with natural light, have our ceremony outside under the gorgeous Magnolia Tree, have a cocktail hour on the wrap-around porch and bottom floor of the house, and have a reception on the back patio. Every space was utilized, and the flow made our day a dream. The day didn't feel like three separate events. It felt seamless and as if it was one big day of celebration and love! We wholeheartedly recommend The Victorian as a wedding venue! The staff’s exceptional service, attention to detail, and the overall charm of the venue made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I am a stay-at-home mom of three who loves flowers. Growing up on my family farm I foraged flowers and foliage to make arrangements for friends and neighbors.

My dream of having my own flower farm is finally a reality! When you book me, your flowers will be unique and fully local, from my farm and other local farms. I especially enjoy using seasonal flowers because they lend their own character to the finished designs. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe Eland Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From our very first inquiry, she was quick to respond and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, she brought a fun and easygoing energy that put us at ease and allowed us to simply enjoy the moment. The photos she captured are truly stunning - romantic and timeless, perfectly preserving all the special details of our day. Blythe and her team have an incredible talent for creating beautiful, fun-filled images that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Blythe Eland Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.

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.

Joey went above and beyond to make our day amazing. He adjusted with the rain delays and made everything work with a positive attitude. I was especially impressed that multiple times throughout dinner he checked on us to see if we needed anything to drink etc. Something he certainly did not have to do, but seemed eager to help. We appreciate his kindness and professionalism.

Maggie blew me away! I'm in no way someone who can envision flavor pairings or even designs for a cake. I knew I wanted something classic, yet different for my wedding cake. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a groom's cake that would blow him away. Maggie delivered! She helped me narrow in my ideas to the heart of what I was looking for and she brought my ideas to LIFE. Oh, and they tasted delicious! She brought so much flavor to both cakes, they were moist, & the perfect size. She helped me figure out what size of cakes I needed to feed all my guests! The process was so seamless and that is one of the main things I remember from working with her. If you're on the fence or deep in the search, stop here and commit to Banko Bake!

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.

Annie was such a pleasure to work with and the quality of her work speaks for itself! She was so professional, kind, and communicative. Annie provided a few opportunities to meet before our wedding day to get to know each other better, discuss details, and ask any questions. This process made us feel so secure moving into our wedding day! The videos that Annie produced from our wedding were beyond anything we could have hoped for. She is truly an artist with a keen eye for details and small moments, and her videography style provided such an intimate view into the day. As I’ve often heard from others, our wedding day passed by in such a whirlwind, so having high quality videos to relive these moments has been the biggest gift - both to us and our families.

This made the experience so smooth as we were all on the same page! Not only is Elise a wonderful communicator, but she put us at ease. We were so comfortable with us -- and we are both not people that love posing for photos. She is talented and everyone we shared our photos with was so impressed. Look no further - Elise is absolutely a wonderful photographer!

She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I am Deseree, owner/baker of Sweet Haven. I am a self-taught baker and have been baking for as long as I can remember. I'm a don’t skip dessert after dinner, give me anything sweet and chocolate, kind of girl. While I have always loved all things sweet, my true passion sparked when my son was born in 2018. I made a point to make everything from scratch and wanted to plan and bake for his first birthday. His desserts and cake for his special day went off without a hitch, and from that point on I have been baking and decorating ever since. I love being able to add something sweet to some of life’s biggest celebrations.

Not only was our cake STUNNING and so colorful, it tasted amazing too. Deseree was so thoughtful and communicative during the planning process, and we had the most fun working with her. Our cake was exactly what I hoped for!

The spunky and energetic photographer over here! I like warm hugs (if you get that Disney reference then we’re def going to be fast friends), am constantly on the lookout for the best chai, and shout “shit biscuits” just a little too often. I’m here to help guide my fun-loving, nerdy couples through the wedding planning process and offer expletive laden compliments when they inevitably kill it at their session. Most importantly though I will celebrate this exciting time in your life with you while becoming a dear friend for years to come.

Ariel and Alex make a fantastic team and are SO TALENTED! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. My favorite part of their work is how they capture people’s personalities through their photography style. We had so much fun working with them!!! Our gallery made us happy cry and laugh all over again because it represented our day so well. Ariel is extremely well organized and runs her business so well. She is a wealth of knowledge about all things weddings and provided us with so much helpful insight along the whole planning process. Our engagement shoot was also an absolute blast and we loved getting to know Ariel and Alex prior to our wedding day. They are such lovely & genuine people. We are SO thankful to have worked with Ariel Kaitlin Photography for our wedding!

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!

I loved working with Fofia Studio Creations and Mirabela! Not only are her photos gorgeous but she is so easy to work with. She really pays attention to the details and strives to make everything as easy as possible for her couples and other vendors. I definitely recommend working with her!

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.

​We are Laura & Drew! *IF YOU LOVE OUR WORK, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.LAURAMEMORY.COM* Laura is a full time artist working in photography, videography, & photo editing. Drew is a Ph.D. child clinical psychologist by day & photographs with Laura on weekends. Laura's middle name is really Memory! We are super chill and down to earth and hope our photos reflect that ease. We love those candid and joyful moments, genuine laughter, beautiful details, and capturing your love story in a journalistic and natural way. Always down for adventures, non traditional weddings, and travel!

Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.
