Draped in White 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA

Our Draped in White family is committed to connecting with you on a very personal level. Our goal is to create a perfectly crafted wedding film that shows your love story in an artistic way. Many couples feel disconnected from the wedding film process so we allow you to choose the different aspects of your wedding film; everything from music and color schemes all the way to filming styles and editing theme.

Draped in White is THE best video brand we have ever worked with. From a photographer's and past bride's perspective, I just can't recommend them enough. They are extremely professional, yet personable. And to say they are incredibly talented does not even begin to describe the quality of work they provide. They are by far the best in the market in my opinion.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are wedding bands, and then there’s The Hook Club. The minute we heard them at one of their showcase experiences we knew we had found the purveyors of soul and energy that we were looking for. The Hook Club played a major role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration. The energy they brought was simply electric and it’s no surprise that we received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had. The band was engaging and created a vibrant atmosphere on the dance floor. Beyond their music the band also left us fun messages on our audio guestbook. This extra touch let us know that they aren’t just a band but a group that genuinely loves what they do and who they do it for.

Gage Horne Studios 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where the heck do I start? Gage was a dream to work with. I really didn’t have a “vision” for my videography like I did photos, but he did! He managed to make the most beautiful video in such a short amount of time (we had him for literally an hour). We are so grateful we spent the extra money to have a videographer and that Gage was our guy! Thank you for creating the most incredible memories for us, Gage! If you’re on the fence, trust me, just book him!

Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA for additional fees

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Kristin made my wedding dreams come true! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup; they were perfect and lasted all night long. Despite not having a trial, Kristin nailed the look I wanted just from a few pictures. Working with her from the beginning was stress-free and fun! She helped me choose the perfect package and was always quick to respond. She was worth every penny, and I truly enjoyed every moment working with her. Highly recommend!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA for additional fees

Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor and a fun & stress-free experience from a top industry professional you can trust! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; let me make music the easiest part 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.

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.

It’s always a bit nerve racking to get hair & makeup done out of town, thankfully, this was a perfect experience. NeKea is professional and fun (she sings while she works). Best of all, everyone in our group (picky hair, doesn’t know what she wants (me) & picky makeup) loved our hair & makeup. This was the best fancy hair I’ve ever had.

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

With personalized menus and signature drinks, you can enjoy a cocktail hour and reception that is literally made for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
French Honey Hospitality was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had some hiccups in the planning process regarding bartending services and deciding what we wanted to do for this. We worked with Maegan, she came in and answered any and all questions we had and quickly sold us on her bartending services with how kind and caring she was about our special day. We spoke with Maegan multiple times regarding specialty cocktails to fit our theme and she absolutely nailed every signature drink based off the creative names we gave her. Her imagination for cocktails was astounding and you can tell she really cares about the drinks she prepares and is willing to push the envelope for your special drinks. On wedding day, Maegan was very friendly towards everyone and was very professional. She showed up early enough to have everything prepped and ready to go by cocktail hour. She also has her own bar that looks stunning and really adds to the vibes to the cocktail hour bar. We felt that Maegan and her husband took care of our guests and ensured that they had a great time. They made a beautiful menu to display all the drinks being provided which helps the guests know what to drink! I remember one of my favorite moments of the night after I had multiple drinks, Maegan hand delivered some liquid IV and water bottles to me which was very much appreciated. If you are looking for bartending services, I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough. Maegan was always very responsive and receptive to our vision. They have a variety of extra services that can elevate your wedding to the next level. Maegan was an absolute pleasure to work with and we loved every aspect of the bartending services provided for us on our special day. You would be putting your trust in the right people with French Honey Hospitality.

A Night to Remember DJ Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, their communication style was thorough, friendly, supportive, and respectful. The quality of their work and value they provided was simply awesome - they were exact, thoughtful, and on point throughout the entire event. They played all the songs that were important to us, and even asked us about song requests from our guests before seamlessly incorporating them. Additionally, the DJ read the crowd like a book, provided great MCing, and hosted our shoe game, which everyone loved.

Booking Society 11:11 was one of the best wedding vendor decisions I made. Candice and Brittany were absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process, from booking, to the bridal look preview, to the wedding day. They're such lovely, fun people to be around, and they immediately made me and the whole wedding party feel at ease. Every one of us explained some version of "I don't wear a lot of makeup so I'm not sure exactly what I want," and every one of us left the makeup chair feeling beautiful. More than one bridesmaid said it was the best their makeup had ever looked, including from other professionals, and I felt the same way. Candice is incredible! For hair, I gave Brittany some inspiration photos, and she created an updo even more beautiful than the inspiration. I loved it at the preview, and then she even fine-tuned it more for the day-of. It was so much fun to see her get excited about her work and create something unique and gorgeous. I got so many compliments. And every member of the wedding party asked for a different look and got a wonderful result. With both hair and makeup, every member of the wedding party looked and felt fantastic all day. My now-husband even asked for a "walk-in" appointment with both hair and makeup because he was worried about wind-blown hair and uneven skin (it was a tear-filled day haha). They were so kind and made sure he was happy with his look too, and all of us survived the ceremony tears and hilltop wind for pictures. I can't recommend Candice and Brittany highly enough. They are such skilled artists and just wonderful people to work with.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana was a joy to work with at my besties wedding! She kept the large group together, fixed our hair/ poses as needed, and took the most STUNNING photos. Not only was her work amazing, but her personality and energy made everyone so comfortable. I highly recommend Diana if you’re considering a wedding photographer. She is AMAZING!

Cassidy was the perfect wedding planner for us. From the first meeting, it felt like we were working with a good friend rather than just a vendor. Amber often talks about how Cassidy became her new best friend throughout the planning process, and I couldn't agree more.
