My name is Kayla, and I am a Planner/Coordinator based out of Southeastern NC. I have been involved in the industry previously through hair and occasional photography, but found a love for planning and the logistics. I love all things themed and am an avid DIY-er.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience working with Jade Events and Co. Kayla was our day of coordinator (which really was like month-of assistance plus day-of coordination). From our first conversation, she gave great guidance, was very organized and thoughtful. Even though I was pretty organized myself, I was constantly worried about missing something obvious because wedding planning was so foreign to me. She helped talk through our random questions and find solutions (including on the day). She seemed a little quiet/nervous handling some of our more bold family members but ultimately did well! Kayla also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. She was kind and overall a delight to work with!

Pelican Perch Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Seth, we were impressed by his prompt, professional, and friendly communication style. The quality of his work is truly excellent - his unique, professional approach captured all the special moments of our day. Seth was very inclusive of everyone who attended, but never obtrusive. He did a fantastic job taking both formal and candid photos of the bride and groom, as well as our guests. Seth took a tremendous number of photos and turned them around to us within just a few days. It was a pleasure having him there, and he even managed to capture a comet in the background of one of our photos - it was magical!

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Malia possesses an incredible talent for blending into the background while capturing the most beautiful and raw moments of our special day. Reviewing our wedding album felt like experiencing the entire event again; each photo perfectly conveyed the emotions and memories I felt on my special day. Her ability to capture candid moments discreetly is truly remarkable. Throughout the wedding and reception, I hardly noticed her presence, yet the photos she captured were nothing short of magical. Malia has an exceptional eye and mad dog editing skills! Although I hope to never marry again, I can confidently say that I would choose Malia for any future photography needs. If you're seeking a photographer who not only takes breathtaking photos but also understands the significance of capturing genuine moments, look no further than Malia.

We were thrilled by the wonderful service we received from Atlantic Premiere Entertainment from first contact throughout the actual event. For a couple that is music- and budget-conscious, you should absolutely reach out to Eric and his team. He's the perfect blend of personable and professional, quick to respond and very easy to work with! On the big day, Eric and his helper brought skills to keep the dance floor bustling, worked with my photographers to provide a snow machine so we could have the perfect winter wedding photos we dreamed of - even in North Carolina - and, even more impressive, was his expertise in modulating and looping our processional music . Working on the fly, he made sure that we still got the stunning entrances we planned, when our bridal party didn't get down the aisle in the time we'd rehearsed.
