  • Caterer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Advance, NC

Owners Sam and Susan Platt opened this local restaurant in 2013. With the help of family, friends, and even customers, they developed the catering side of the small eatery with a big reputation. We can provide full service including setup, buffet-style serving, bartending, and cleanup throughout the facility, or just drop off your food if your budget is tight.

As a wedding venue owner, I have had probably more than 30 events catered by Honky Tonk Smokehouse by now with more on the books for 2021. The staff is always on time, professional, and kind. The food is amazing and I always tell our clients their food is major step up from traditional bbq restaurants without an astronomical $ investment. Brisket is a popular choice and is by far the best I have ever tasted, however they also have options like pulled chicken and will accommodate vegetarian or vegan diets as well. I could go on and on about Susan and the other staff at Honky Tonk Smokehouse, but you will not be disappointed from a food quality standpoint or professionalism/interaction with staff.

A Night to Remember made our day absolutely perfect. David took such care and attention to details with every song that we chose. He called us the week of and played every song for our ceremony and special dances/events to make sure they were the right song, artist, version, and where to actually start and end the songs. That attention to detail made us feel so calm and know that he was going to make everything as perfect as possible for our wedding.

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Skyler at our wedding was a blessing. Since I saw her photos and profile on social media I knew that she was the right photographer to capture the most important moment of our lives. And so it was... her relaxed aura makes you feel that you are among friends. She knows how to do her job and at the same time go unnoticed. You can’t imagine what she sees behind the lens until you receive the photos and say Woao!! You can feel the love and happiness of us (newlyweds) in each photo. Thank you Skyler for capturing our love in every photo.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a bride, choosing your vendors is one the most important decision you will make for your wedding, other than choosing your groom and bridal party. I didn't realize that until I chose Lux Lineage Floral Design. I can not stress enough the importance of the floral arrangements for your wedding or event. It can create the ambience you dream of, or a vibe that is distasteful. Lux Lineage Floral Design, you went OVER AND BEYOND! Not only did this mother-daughter duo exceed my expectations, but they took extra time on the little details. They made certain to take note of every specific idea/request I made, and created a warm, romantic atmosphere that only illuminated me, as the bride. Even when I threw last minute requests or thoughts their way, they took on every challenge. We were in constant communication, and I never felt out of the loop. In the midst of the stress of wedding planning, they were my calm. I can honestly say that I have never seen more beautiful floral arrangements than the ones at my wedding. Lux Lineage Floral Design made my wedding day the most romantic, elegant experience of my life. Thank you both, for your time and all your hard work, Elizabeth and Cinda. I can not imagine my wedding day without you both in it!

You deserve wedding photos and films that feel natural, joyful, and completely like you. The real laughs. The quiet hand squeezes. The moments you will want to relive for years. We're Hannah and Matt, a husband and wife photography and film team based in North Carolina and traveling nationwide. Hannah moved here from a small fishing village in Cornwall, England, and Matt grew up just down the road. We've been documenting weddings together since 2019, and Matt is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot. Our approach is true to life and relaxed, focused on helping you feel comfortable so nothing feels forced or awkward. From the first email to the final gallery, we keep things easy, clear, and genuinely fun so you can soak it all in.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

The best way to reach out to me for a quick response is through phone or email. I work with most budgets and can help truly execute whatever event ideas you have in mind.

The quality of their work was a 10 out of 10, and my husband and I were so elated to see that our wedding plans came to fruition exactly as we had envisioned. Eternal Events acted as the executive director, planner, and full designer/decorator for our special day, and they truly made our dreams of a wedding come true.

Maria is INCREDIBLE, and we are so glad we chose her for our wedding photos. 1. She is super professional and prompt, but is also just a really cool person who did SO MUCH to calm our nerves leading up to the wedding. 2. Her photos are gorgeous. She has such good attention to detail, lighting, editing, and you can really really tell in the finished product. 3. She just takes photos of you whenever she is around, and got tons of great candids. 4. We had gorgeous sneak peeks within like 48 hours of the wedding - it was truly insane turnaround but was amazing for us to get hype and very quickly see high-quality photos of the day. 5. The system she uses to deliver your photos is great - we got a lot of compliments on it from our friends and family! 6. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need - we filled out a survey a few weeks out listing our priorities, existing schedule, who needed to be in family photos, etc, and she sent back a really nice photo schedule document. It was fantastic to front-load this work and get it out of the way, and it made the day go so smoothly! 7. Overall she just really incredibly & beautifully captured the joy of the day - the personalities of my partner and I, our friends and family, the vibe of the venue and the party, and the sweetness of the sweet moments. We got tons of photos we will cherish forever and are so so thankful she was the one to capture the day!

There is a reason that The Finch House is one of our preferred venues and why we have a specially discounted package for couples planning events there. Sure, the venue is beautiful, the food is always amazing (and of course the load-in is much easier than some). But the main reason every one of our staff loves performing there is their people. Andrew and his folks not only go above and beyond to make sure that every detail of the event lives up to and exceeds the couple's expectations, but also helps to create a real team atmosphere with the other vendors involved so that no one loses sight of the true objective: To give each couple an experience they can remember and treasure for a lifetime.

Of all the venues I looked at, Chateau Vie offered the most space for my medium-sized wedding (110 people) for the most affordable price. And the fact that it was inexpensive does not mean that it was low quality. The garden location where our ceremony was held was sweet, beautiful, and elegant, comfortably seating all of our guests. The reception area was also lovely and the perfect size for our guests. The getting-ready spaces were beautiful and fun. As for the owners, they really helped make sure everything flowed. I paid only for the venue space, which was about 2,000. However, that included set-up, rehearsal coordination, ceremony coordination, reception assistance, and clean-up. They were so helpful in making sure all the little details were taken care of so I didn't have to think about them. In our meeting a few weeks before the wedding, they walked through everything with me, bringing up questions I hadn't even known I needed to consider, which was so helpful. It was also nice to have the coordinator's input on the order of ceremony to make sure everything was as smooth as possible. My only word of caution is that communication can sometimes feel slow and choppy. I usually received an answer to any question within 24 hours, but sometimes if I asked multiple questions in the same email, I didn't get answers to all of them. If I emailed again with the same question, though, they would get back to me on it. And for me, that did not take away from how special and perfect my wedding day was.

When we got married, there was no question as to who to use for our pictures. We looked around at a few other photographers, but nobody could offer the attention to detail, the eye for just the right moment, and the impressive turn around/response time like Becky.

Blending historic charm with modern elegance, our space is perfect for hosting weddings, special events, concerts and celebrations. We also provide regular church services, continuing our tradition of serving the community. Magnolia Hill Chapel & Events carries a deep history, with its origins tracing back to 1780. Originally called Doub's United Methodist Chapel, this historic structure was relocated to its current site in 1909 and functioned as a place of worship for decades. Today, the chapel has been meticulously renovated, preserving its vintage charm while incorporating modern amenities. Magnolia Hill remains a house of worship which has stunning architecture and intimate ambiance. Weddings can be hosted in the chapel, outdoors, or in our elegant reception hall, offering versatile options for any occasion.

The owners have done a phenomenal job renovating this church. It’s the perfect space for hosting a variety of events. I created a custom floral mural in one of the rooms, and Natalie and Michael were wonderful to work for. They are attentive, considerate, honest, have an eye for design, and truly care about the space they curated for future attendees.

Hillary Muelleck Photography

  • Serves Advance, NC

Choosing a photographer for your wedding day is a huge decision, I get it! These photos are going to be your only reminder of how heartfelt and incredible it all was. So you'll want to make sure you hire someone that you really connect with, enjoying being around, and trust to capture everything in a way that really reflects the feeling of the day. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me in the middle of a home renovation project, cooking new recipes with my husband, or hosting a game night in our home with friends and family. Any Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride fans out there?

Hillary checks ALL the boxes: talented, savvy, great communicator, fun! A great wedding professional to work with!
