Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor and a stress-free experience from a friendly & reliable top-tier wedding pro! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; I make it easier for you. I’ve been creating memorable experiences for all couples and all love, for over 17 years; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the crowd, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, interacting with the crowd, and working with all the other vendors to keep the event running smooth. Check out my reviews to see what couples are saying. LGBTQ+ friendly; nothing but love here!

Where do I even start? Marty is just the best. Planning a wedding by myself was very stressful. I am from a Persian background, and I wanted to have an American wedding while also implementing my culture. From the moment that I spoke with Marty, I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He has a calming and reassuring energy that not only assured me we could get any type of music we like, but he helped me plan my entire timeline. Every single time I had a concern, he would have a solution. He used an app that allowed me to add the music I wanted, including Persian music. At our walk-through, he worked with our other vendors to make sure the layout was perfect for us on our wedding day. Then finally on the wedding day we got to see how great he really is. He was checking in and helping keep us on schedule. When we got to the dance floor he mixed Persian music with American songs so perfectly that there was not a single person sitting down. It was so awesome seeing all of my relatives and all of my husband’s family dance together. And there is no way this could have been possible without Marty Nightengale! Everybody loved him, and I would hire him again and again and again.

We worked with Carina of Raleigh Weddings, and it was easily one of the best decisions that we made. Carina has an impeccable eye for details, and through all her meetings helped us ensure that nothing was overlooked on the wedding day. She provided us with thorough check lists, email recaps, and reliable communication to help make our day perfect. Perhaps the best part about Carina is that she is so personable and brings so much joy to the wedding planning process. You could tell that she really cares about all of the people she works with. It is refreshing how authentic she is! Moreover, she really took the stress out of the process especially in the last few weeks.

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.

We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!

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.

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!

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.

I highly recommend hiring Joey for your DJ at your wedding. He is very professional and prompt! Not to mention he has wonderful lighting for the dance floor!!! We appreciate you helping make our day so special!!!

Maria is super easy to work with and learn from all while making the process run smoothy and efficiently. Her work is amazing and I know a big part of that is due to how much genuine fun people have while shooting with her; she captures those memories beautifully.

Justin was extremely easy to work with! I can agree with others that have said he is one of your stress-free vendors. When I received my wedding photos back it felt like I was reliving my wedding day, he captured so many moments that I will be forever grateful to have on camera. There are so many photos that I adore from our big day, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. The process from booking, to our engagement shoot, and the big day was seamless. I would highly recommend Old North State Photography!!!!

If "I don't know what to do with my hands" could be manifested as a person, that is me trying to take a photograph. Yet every photo Jessica took looked comfortable, natural, and captured my husband and I perfectly. Not to mention stunning. She is so talented, not only in her photography and style, but her incredible sense for how to make people relax, while also giving incredibly detailed direction. She is the perfect balance for any occasion - a fun, easy going personality, with incredible focus on getting the job done. Our wedding photos were absolutely incredible. (As are all of the other photos from continually hiring her for more special occasions!) I cannot get enough of her and her work. Could not recommend enough!

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. I love dreaming about weddings with brides and designing lovely arrangements out of stunning local flowers. Flowers are so gorgeous on their own, it is a delight to work with them. 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!

Camille went above and beyond for our flowers! We loved using local vendors and flowers to celebrate our day! She texted us with sneak peaks of our flowers and kept us undated throughout the process.

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!

I have always been a visionary and a romantic at heart! Growing up watching Say Yes to the Dress and all of the other cliché wedding shows, I have always wanted to be able to help others plan their weddings! I have immense joy working with couples to plan their dream wedding and making everything come together beautifully when they finally get to walk down the aisle. On wedding days, I am the first one there and the last one to leave. I will get teary eyed watching you say your vows, celebrate you alongside your family, but make sure business gets done behind the scenes so you can enjoy your special day stress-free!

Rianna was our wedding planner for our wedding in Beaufort, SC in May 2024. We got engaged in December of 2023 so it was QUICK! I tend to think I can do everything myself and wasn't planning to hire a wedding planner but thank goodness the venue required us to. Rianna was SUCH a blessing in assisting with our wedding plans and making sure our special day was seamless and smooth. I am a control freak and it was a huge relief to know I had a planner that I trusted to make everything run smooth and she truly helped make our wedding day so special. You will not be disappointed! Rianna is truly the best.
