Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!

We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.

Laurel and Jakub are hands down the best people to work with, from the beginning to the end, and every part in between. During our engagement session Laurel and Jakub hopped on our gator and rode around the farm with us and even crawled under our electric fence to enter our horse pasture, while getting all friendly with one of the horses! During the bridal session they both made me feel like I was literally the only one that mattered. I felt like the prettiest person and Laurel was the ultimate hype person. The day of the wedding was nothing but love and laughter. Laurel and Jakub helped the day flow smoothly and both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces. I absolutely adore this couple and would recommend them a thousand times over!!!

Whether your dream wedding is a black tie affair or an intimate ceremony, The Victorian: Youngsville is the perfect wedding venue for your special day. Please contact us directly via our website contact form for more information and to schedule a tour.

There would never be enough words of praise for how my husband and I feel about The Victorian and having it as our wedding venue. We were married here on October 2, 2021 and it was the BEST day. Brian and Giuliana are incredible and have truly put so much hard work into making this venue beautiful. It is naturally beautiful on both the inside and the outside, that you really don't even need many decorations. Not to mention, the way that Brian and Giuliana have decorated the inside of the house (especially the bridal suites and groomsmen rooms and the library) is GORGEOUS." We chose a package with the venue that included additional items, along with day-of-coordination, and we are SO GLAD we did. Having Brian as our day-of-coordinator was a GIFT! He made sure the day ran so smoothly while being so calm and fun (never frazzled). Our families and bridal party were so impressed with Brian and how he and his team ran our so wedding from start to finish that day. The Victorian has a preferred list of vendors and EVERY vendor we used from that list was INCREDIBLE. All of these vendors ended up being our favorite vendors. We highly recommend using Brian and Giuliana's preferred vendors because it saves SO many headaches and they happen to know great people who end up feeling like friends, not just vendors. Even more so, Brian and Giuliana were so responsive to us from Day 1 and always answered our questions thoroughly and quickly. We knew when we booked we had found a gem of a venue, but that's an understatement. Our wedding day at The Victorian was a dream, and The Victorian (Brian and Giuliana) played one of the biggest parts in that. I could go on and on about how we feel about The Victorian, but to sum it up: we cannot recommend getting married here enough!

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!

I could not have had a better experience, it was so much fun to see my flowers grow throughout the fall and spring for the wedding. Camille loves what she does and it shows with how she communicated and ultimately the care she had when presenting the flowers for the ceremony.

In addition to the flowers between beautiful, the vases and other accents were all carefully chosen and brought out the flowers.

Blythe Eland Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Durham, NC

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 dream to work with for our wedding day. Blythe Eland is not who we originally booked with (although now I wish we had known about her from the start!) The night before our wedding, our wedding photographer let us know that one half of their two person team would not be able to make it and that Blythe Eland would be filling in as second shooter. I was certainly nervous to hear this information (especially the night before) but it was clear on the day of the wedding that I had nothing to worry about. Blythe arrived early and went above and beyond. Her photo ideas and instructions were fantastic, and she seamlessly took the lead to ensure our day went off without a hitch. We were so grateful for her professionalism and talent. Since our wedding, we've had the pleasure of working with Blythe two additional times and have been consistently impressed by her responsiveness, timeliness, and the beautiful photos she captures. We cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough.

Amanda and Todd truly made our wedding memorable. All the guests commented on how beautiful their property is. Very professional and easy to work! We toured eight venues before my husband came across their venue and it was a fantastic decision. They have so many options for where you want your ceremony to be held. Fortunately we had perfect weather, but their venue has the best back-up plan to hold a beautiful ceremony indoors if you need to or want to!

Katey Vaughan Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Durham, 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.

As a wedding photographer in this industry, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous wedding planners. I'm more than happy to state that the Magnolia team is one of my favorite's in the Raleigh area. From the timeline collaboration before the wedding to the last dance on the wedding day, the team’s commitment to creating the beautiful event for their clients truly sets them apart. From the stunning floral arrangements to the carefully chosen color palette, their attention to aesthetics and design allows me to capture the essence of the day effortlessly. Weddings can be unpredictable, but their organizational skills and ability to navigate potential challenges seamlessly creates a stress free environment not only for the couple but to the guests, family and vendor team.

Halifax Hill Studios

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Durham, NC

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!

305 Trackside 

5.0

Southern Pines, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $350

305 Trackside is an industrial chic event venue located in the Historic Seaboard Freight Depot building in the heart of downtown Southern Pines, NC. Original wood plank floors, exposed brick walls, 6 oversized sliding barn doors, exposed trussed ceilings, 1,500 square feet of open air interior space and over 1,500 square feet of covered outdoor patio space, all make this venue an unforgettable backdrop for any event!

We chose this venue because of location, price, and style. My dad was an engineer for CSX and the location of this venue along with its history made it the obvious choice for us. The venue itself hardly needed any decorations for our wedding; the historical brick and old wooden planked floor were stunning...along with the party lights on the ceiling. Compared to other venues in the area, this venues price was unbeatable. Along with it being cheaper, it gave us more options. We booked the venue the night before the wedding as well which made decorating and rehearsal a BREEZE! We booked the Jefferson Inn through the venue as well so getting ready the day of the wedding was so simple and convenient; after the wedding was over, we headed back to the Inn that was a block away. One major plus of this venue was that it has AMAZING, GORGEOUS BATHROOMS AND A CATERER KITCHEN! You would think this was included at every event venue, but we toured several venues that had no on site bathrooms or place for the food to be prepared. I had soooooo many compliments on the venue; I’ve recommended it to ALL my friends for their upcoming weddings.

I'm a bridal hair stylist located in Cary, NC, and I've been honing my craft for over 10 years. I absolutely adore weddings – they're my favorite! Working with brides and helping their visions come to life brings me so much joy.

Rush was a dream to work with, in all truth. She styled five heads including my long, thick haired updo. She also did wonders with shall-we-say less bountiful heads of hair, which as you may know, is less of an easy job. She works with good products and good tools which was important to me. And most importantly, my bridal updo was The Most Comfortable Hair I've Ever Had. I kid you not. I wore that updo (with 75 pins in it) for 12 hours. There was not a pin-prick in my scalp and it wasn't heavy or annoying in any way. It held up until midnight when I reluctantly left the party and disassembled my gorgeous hair. Some people style wedding hair because they have to, Rush does it because she genuinely loves the whole experience (which really shows). She was helpful, thoughtful, had superb communication habits, and is just all around a sweet, sweet human. I could not recommend her or her services more highly.

We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at The Barn at Blue Rock Farm. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was in constant communication with us, ensuring that every detail was accounted for. The venue itself is an intimate setting with a beautiful outdoor area, making it an affordable option for couples looking for a unique and picturesque location. While there is no air conditioning, the venue has plenty of fans that kept us cool and comfortable throughout the event. One of our favorite things about working with The Barn at Blue Rock Farm was the flexibility they offered - we were able to bring in our own catering, beverage service, and decorator, which allowed us to personalize the day exactly how we wanted. Elizabeth was also incredibly accommodating, jumping in to help with our day-of coordinator services at the last minute when we needed her. The pricing was reasonable, and the expectations were well communicated from the start, making the entire planning process a breeze. We highly recommend The Barn at Blue Rock Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, customizable, and affordable wedding venue about one hour away from Raleigh.
