  • Starts at $176
  • Serves Cary, NC

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.

I have had the privilege to see this woman grow from being just a little girl with a glint in her eye. She has always been curious and loved making people feel good. She is quite the professional.

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 Kaitlin Photography does not disappoint! I searched high and low for a wedding photographer that I liked and was within my budget. Let me preface my review with saying, "you get what you pay for." I, without a doubt, hit the jackpot with Ariel. Ariel and Alex were the dynamic duo of my dreams AND MORE. 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 $1,995
  • Serves Cary, 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!!

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!

What truly makes me passionate is to be able to capture their love story with artistic beauty and elegance.

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

I used to be a divorce attorney, I had brain surgery, and now I'm a wedding photographer. Yes, you read that right. But there's obviously more to the story. Before going to law school I went to school for photojournalism and even worked for newspapers. After brain surgery turned my life upside down, I realized I wanted to go back to my roots as a photojournalist and I wanted to capture truly joyful, enthusiastic moments and voila - I fell in love with weddings and photographing them.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it came to wedding planning, the photographer was my most important decision. That's also what I say to friends and family who are planning weddings. After everything is over, your photographs are what you have to remember a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is over in a blink! It was important to me that our photos reflected our personalities and were worthy of our walls and frames. Kivus & Camera are truly exceptional wedding photographers and were everything I had hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, caring, and responsive. They were dependable and fully committed to ensuring our wedding day was captured beautifully. As an LGBTQ couple, we worried the perfect photographer would be hard to find, but Elyssa and John are wonderful, and we couldn't have done better. Elyssa is a lovely person who is easy to hang out with on top of being a fabulous, talented and professional photographer. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an artistic, one-of-a-kind style that resulted in photos that are both beautiful and unique. We will enjoy our photos and memories from our engagement shoot and wedding day for years to come thanks to the thoughtful way Elyssa and John captured each moment. Logistically, our photos were easy to get and work with. Elyssa curates things for you in a way that makes sense. We ordered a photo book as well, and it is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. In fact, they just photographed my sister's wedding this summer as well. So you know that we were all happy if we were willing to make it a family affair! You will not be sorry if you work with Kivus & Camera. (But you might be sorry if you don't!)

Hi guys! Mekai here, owner + founder of Sparks + Sand floral design. Originally from Palm Springs, California and now in Raleigh for a couple years, S+S has brought me the most incredible opportunities to share in the joy + wonder florals can bring to every person, every event, every meaningful moment. I am so darn thankful I get to connect with so many unique people with visions I cannot believe I get to bring to the table. Thank you for supporting me, + allowing me the space to be a part of your most special celebrations. I cannot wait to connect with you!

This review is long overdue for my October 2021 wedding! We hired Sparks and Sand and I could not have been happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. The process of planning was so stressful and we had to postpone from our original 2020 date. However, Mekai was a DREAM to work with. She was so helpful and responsive to all of my questions and quote changes. We had some last minute changes to the quote but she handled everything with ease. The florals were GORGEOUS and I could not have been happier. I literally teared up when they arrived to our Airbnb. They were everything I could have ever asked for. She understood fully what I was going for with just a few inspiration pictures. Everything was so easy and the florals were arranged beautifully at the venue. I'm so happy that I booked Mekai!

Thistle & Moon was founded in 2021 by Mary Furby. She recognized the need or unique and modern floral design in the Moore County area. With a little (more like a lot) of help from her support system, Mary created a company dedicated to bringing intention into every design. We believe in finding beauty in the unique details. Our flowers will never be mass-produced, over replicated or thoughtless. We are here to help you design events, weddings, elopements, and your everyday flower needs. Thistle & Moon: creating intentional flowers for unique people.

Working with Mary was a dream. She is so creative and her work is absolutely stunning. She executed our vision perfectly and we wouldn't have changed a thing. We gave her the colors, dining format (family style), and a few other notes but left a lot of the creative stuff up to her and she nailed it. She also did the flowers for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, then came and picked them up to re-use them around the wedding venue the next day. It was a level of service that was so unexpected and appreciated.

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

We’ve had the pleasure of being guests at a wedding for which Alex was the DJ, as well as having him DJ our wedding! Both were an absolute blast. Incredible value for the experience and everything included. Alex did music, microphones, and lights for our ceremony and reception. From when we first reached out, everything was incredibly easy, and we never had any doubt Alex had all our needs covered. He listened well to our vision for the day and fulfilled it perfectly, along with filling in any gaps to match our vibe for the portions of the day where we didn’t have specific music requests. He was a great MC, and everything flowed smoothly all day with no hiccups. We wanted our reception to be an energetic dance party, and that’s exactly what we got!

I'm a NC native and organic gardener who was drawn to flowers by my honeybees. I love drawing natural beauty from seeds and soil all the way to finished centerpieces. I'm constantly inspired by NC's distinct seasons and the abundance they provide to all the wildlife we steward on our farm.

cannot recommend Buck Naked Farm enough for your wedding flowers! From the very first consultation, they made the entire process so easy and personal. I wanted flowers that felt fresh, natural, and unique—nothing cookie-cutter—and they delivered beyond my expectations. The bouquets and centerpieces were stunning, filled with seasonal blooms grown on their farm in Pittsboro. You could *feel* the care and love that went into every arrangement. The colors and overall design perfectly matched the relaxed, romantic vibe of our wedding. My guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the flowers were! What I loved most was knowing that everything was locally and sustainably grown—something that was really important to us. They even accommodated my vision while suggesting blooms like dahlias that I hadn’t thought of, making the arrangements even more magical. If you’re looking for wedding flowers that are truly one-of-a-kind and beautifully designed, they are the way to go. They’re perfect for couples who want gorgeous local florals with a personal touch. 10/10!

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Inspired by everyday colors and life's subtle details, I love to add my own personal twist to the makeup looks I create. I am a North Carolina based Bridal Makeup Artist, however. I travel worldwide to provide makeup services to my brides. I consider myself to be the bride's makeup artist. Brides hire me to create the precise bridal makeup look that they have envisioned their entire lives.

Hello Tiwa, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Your skill and artistry not only made me feel incredibly beautiful but also played a significant role in making my day truly special. From the moment I sat in your chair until the final brushstroke, you exhibited a level of professionalism and creativity that left me in awe. Your attention to detail and your ability to enhance my natural beauty while still making me feel like myself were truly remarkable. More than just the makeup, your presence and calming demeanor throughout the wedding preparations were a source of comfort and reassurance for me. You helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during a day that can sometimes be filled with nerves and excitement. You went above and beyond in making me feel and look my best, and I am immensely grateful for your talent and dedication. Your work not only made me feel confident but also contributed significantly to the overall beauty and magic of the day. Thank you for being a part of one of the most important days of my life and for making it even more special. Your role was instrumental, and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Wishing you continued success in your career, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. I really would like to see you again as well, and hopefully we can set up a lunch date or just hang out, but you will forever be my go to for a makeover. I will be leaving reviews and tagging your business in all my posts, and I would love to review your services for other brides looking for MUA. With heartfelt thanks and warm regards, Donna Porch

Theresa did an absolutely incredible job with make-up on my wedding day! She worked alone and was able to do make-up for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers all before it was time for photos! Not only that, but she did an incredible job and all 5 of us were so happy with the looks she gave us. From the beginning, I loved the way she highlighted someone's natural beauty with make-up. I loved the look she did for me because it was very natural, yet made me feel bridal and beautiful and put together! She prepped the skin beforehand and everything was very soothing and clean feeling! (I have very sensitive skin and was concerned about this, but it was no problem for her at all, and my skin felt so fresh and like it was glowing!). All of her make-up also felt very light and effortless - I could barely tell I was wearing make-up and the lashes also did not bother me. Also, I cried a majority of the day, and despite that fact the make-up lasted all throughout the day and night!! She was very kind all throughout the day, and made casual conversation with all of us - we all felt comfortable with her! I highly recommend Theresa for all your make-up needs on your wedding day, prom, or other event! She is wonderful! Thank you, Theresa, for everything!

She’s was very easy to talk to about what angles I wanted and she made sure to deliver better than what I expected! Working with her was such a pleasure, especially with her great attitude.

We are an on-site full service hair and makeup team for weddings and special events in the Raleigh, NC area and beyond. Our style of makeup is radiant, glam but still natural! For hair, we are able to do a wide range of styles with all hair textures. From a classic half-up half-down to a boho braided updo! We believe in enhancing your natural features so you can feel like the best version on yourself. Our priority is to ensure that you and your bridal party feel & look your best with a mimosa in hand! It is our joy and passion to do hair and makeup and we love creating a memorable experience with each client we serve.

If you want to look so good you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror… book this team!!! Mena did my makeup for engagement photos, boudoir shoot, and of course my wedding. I have never felt more confident and beautiful. If you are searching for an artist, I promise you have found her. Not only does Mena make you feel your absolute best, her team the day of gets straight to work and will make all your bridesmaids and family feel the same! I have been in multiple weddings where the beauty team is unorganized, rushed, or makes you want to wash your hair and face and do it yourself. Her team had a set pre made schedule for each of my girls, listened to their beauty visions, extremely friendly, and even my pickiest bridesmaids were blown away and obsessed with how they looked! Also, due to my venues schedule, we had to get ready at my house and her team brought their own table/chairs and left my house cleaner than it was before they arrived. I can not compliment Mena and her team enough!
