Without Carina in my corner through the planning process our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was. She truly stands by your side (and some times in front of you) pulling you to the finish line of the best day of your life. I did not have family local and planned a wedding that was 2 hours from my current place of residence and she filled in any and every gap needed to make sure I was happy with everything. Her and her team go above and beyond and I am so thankful that I found her.

DJ Kash - Raleigh NC

  • DJ

With over a decade of experience, DJ Kash has been utilizing his passion for music & creativity to help clients celebrate their special moments with their loved ones while making a positive impact on their lives. Whether you're planning a South Asian Wedding or any other style of wedding or event, DJ Kash will work with you to create the perfect playlist that matches your unique style and taste. DJ Kash can create sets that cut across cultures and generations. Get ready to dance the night away! For more info, visit www . djkashNC . com

I was so thrilled to have found DJ Kash to help make our Sangeet a memorable experience for everyone! I found him through instagram, as one of the premier South Asian DJ's in the triangle area, and after listening to his sets, I knew he would be the perfect fit for our event. We reached out, and within a few weeks, we had a signed contract, he had added at my request, a Dholi and I felt that he would deliver even though we'd booked him over a year in advance. Kashif is professional, fun, and can read a crowd and vibe incredibly well. He blended western music with Bollywood hits and for our Sangeet he played a live, mixed set which was DOPE. Everyone loved the music and would not get off the dance floor. Additionally, he was incredibly flexible- I had literally no direction for him (mostly because I trusted him) and he was able to accommodate last minute requests without complaints. And thank you Kashif, for encouraging me to keep the Dholi, because between the two of you, the event was more memorable than I could have imagined. Kashif made the space beautiful with his uplighting, which was a welcome addition to his standard cost, and set up and tore down with no issue in a very busy downtown Raleigh venue. I would 100% use him again if I ever needed to. The music was phenomenal, bangers all night- and the talent was immense and clear. Thank you so much for making my wedding weekend so memorable!

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.

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 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.

It has taken me a lot of studying, practice and natural talent to get to where I am today. I've documented over 600 weddings leaving many happy clients in many different areas of the world.

Erin was absolutely amazing to work with. She did two styles for me. One was for a promise ceremony and the other for my wedding. I met her by chance and I’m SO glad I did! After seeing her work for the first event I immediately hired her for the wedding. She is lightning fast and pays so much attention to detail. I would hire her over and over again. I’m most sad that I don’t have events coming up where I can have her do my hair! Hire her. She is just perfect.

Sparks & Sand

  • Starts at $1,500

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!

Mekai did the florals for my Feb 2023 wedding and I seriously cannot even begin to explain how amazing she was! Actually blew my expectations out of the water. When I saw what she had created the morning of our wedding she actually took my breath away. She took my vision I gave her and made something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! I live in New York City and honestly, I was struggling for awhile to try to try to find a florist out of Palm Springs that just "gets it". Sometimes I find traditional florists to be a bit boring, stale, repetitive, or way over the top. The other florists out of palm springs felt a little too old school for me or were completely out of my budget. I really wanted something modern and artistic, yet playful, natural and fun. Mekai is a true artist! Not only is her work so beautiful, but she is also the sweetest person ever and a dream to work with! Super responsive and really takes the time to understand your vision. I know as a bride, it can feel a little risky to book a vendor with a smaller amount of reviews, but Mekai is so worth it! Mekai also has a lot lower minimums than a lot of other floral vendors in the area and is extremely affordable which I have never heard any of my friends who have gotten married say about their florals! Mekai's work is such a steal for the impact that she will make on your space and in all of your photos! Seriously run, don't walk, to book! I'm telling you, you will not regret it in the slightest.

Mini Acres Farm was the perfect venue for our South Asian wedding. Laura was prompt and kind in her communication, and she was very accommodating of our needs, finding the solutions we were looking for. The venue was the first and only one we saw, and we knew it was the one - the magnolia tree, the large swings, the granary, and the fountain add so much character to this already beautiful blueberry farm. The bride and groom's suites were welcoming and had plenty of room for our families to rest and get ready. Ours was a South Asian wedding, and this venue gave us the canvas to make it our own!

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!

  • Starts at $3,500

I'm a wife, cat + dog mom, Charlotte NC native, and all around hype woman. I love capturing experiences. Above all else I love watching my couples interact with each other expressing and showcasing their relationship. What truly makes me passionate is to be able to capture their love story with artistic beauty and elegance. I love to provide them with gorgeous candid images so that every time they revisit these memories it inspires the contentment and enduring emotion they hold in their hearts from that day.

Cirque91 was amazing to work with! She paid attention to what we wanted while also giving professional advice/suggestions to maximize our experience. We received over 800 shots and every single one is better than the next! She was very organized and made it a wonderful experience. Very personable, easy to work with, and communication (which was important for me in a photographer) was amazing. Thank you Brennan!!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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!
