Arden, NC
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $630

Based in Arden, North Carolina, I am a wedding hair and makeup business. I am a licensed cosmetologist and self-taught makeup artist with over four years of experience and I has worked with a variety of skin tones and types. With the skill to craft looks ranging from natural to glamorous, I can bring any client's vision to life.

Megan made all my hair and make-up dreams come true for my wedding! I came to her with a vague idea of wanting a natural, glowy look for my make-up and a romantic high bun for my hair and she was able to bring my vision to life! I am so glad we did the trial before the big day, because we were able to work together to make some tweaks that made all the difference. As someone who hasn't historically liked how I look with make-up on, I felt like the most beautiful bride thanks to Megan's careful skill and artistry. Also, my look was able to weather wind, tears, and a full night of dancing! I absolutely recommend Megan's services if you are looking for a hair and make-up artist in western NC!!

She was very enthusiastic throughout the process and really seemed to be enjoying our nuptials as much as the other guests were. We had to plan the wedding reception on short notice after Hurricane Helene resulted in closure of our original venue. There were so many moving parts for reorganizing our event but she guided us along the way and relieved any stress from the entertainment component. She followed through and delivered on everything that we discussed and was very professional throughout. We would highly we recommend her for your wedding reception or event!

We believe that every wedding should feel like an extension of the couple — intentional, personal, and deeply meaningful. Specializing in full-service wedding planning and coordination, we design experiences that go beyond the expected, creating celebrations that are as unique as the people at the heart of them. Our approach is rooted in thoughtful curation and intentional design, ensuring that every detail reflects your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
The KnightCo. Events team was absolutely incredible from the beginning to the end. My venue required us to have a coordinator, but I was really skeptical about whether I needed one. Now that I've gone through the entire process, I can confidently say yes, you do need one, and yes, it should be KnightCo. Events! Chynna was always available to answer my questions in the months leading up to my destination wedding. She was actively engaged in every meeting with our venue, even the early morning ones with a 3 hour time difference. Once the package officially kicked in 6 weeks out, KCE took over all of the communication with vendors, which allowed me to take a break from the planning. It was hard for me to give up control, but it was ultimately worth it, especially as we got closer to the wedding day. When one of our vendors was 2 hours late on the day of the wedding, Chynna stepped in and was able to clear everything up within minutes of me notifying her. Chynna felt like another one of my best friends on the wedding day—there to offer me lipstick, a makeup pad, stain remover... she had literally anything I could need and offered it before I even knew that I needed it! Everything stayed on schedule and she checked in with us often but discreetly to make sure we had everything we needed. And the next day as we were already buzzing with excitement, she surprised us with a behind the scenes gallery of photos and videos that allowed us to relive our perfect day. I can't say enough great things about this team. Absolutely no regrets about booking with KnightCo. Events!

From the moment we met him, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses in a way that felt natural, relaxed, and fun. We shot at The Looking Glass and up in the mountains, and the views and locations he helped us choose were absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable.

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Irvin Music Studio 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Arden, NC

This small company serves as a hub for Sam and Kylie Irvin's musical projects based in Asheville, NC. They are passionate performers, educators, and advocates for the arts with years of training and experience in the field. With a broad range of interests, this couple and their colleagues can offer an extensive variety of instruments like solo classical guitar, guitar/violin duet and Kylie B. & the Birds, a jazz ensemble.

My wife and I asked Sam to play at our outdoor wedding in August of 2021 and our expectations were far exceeded but both his professionalism and his musicianship. We planned our own wedding and we were interested in vendors that worked well with us, the venue, and our guests. When we spoke with Sam, he was prompt with his communication and very flexible with the services he was able to offer. This continued through the entire planning process, which proved very comforting when planning a wedding from three states away. On our wedding day, he was able to adapt his performance to the venue and the weather. He was more than happy to coordinate with our DJ and the transition was seamless. This included moving his equipment after the ceremony to continue playing for cocktail hour and hustling up the big hill to cover when it started raining. When he resumed playing and the rain had cleared, he played “Here comes the Sun”, adding another memory to our already unforgettable day. Both my wife and myself come from families filled with life-long musicians. Her and I both studied music in college and continue to enjoy music in our lives. It was refreshing to work with a wedding vendor that could “speak” our language and provide a very individualized performance. Perhaps the most thoughtful thing that Sam did was arrange a song for us and give us a framed copy of the arrangement as a gift. This act exemplifies his eagerness to make every event amazing. If you are looking for a professional artist that will make your event exactly what you want, we strongly recommend using Sam and Irvin Music Studio!

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

I can’t even begin to say how spectacular Eugene’s work is. He puts so much love into his craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. Eugene goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. He was an absolute dream to work with! I instantly felt a genuine connection with him—it felt like we were friends for years. Eugene made my husband and I feel confident throughout the entire process! If you want top-quality, thoughtful work, go to Eugene! He truly loves his work, and it shows. Eugene was everything you want in a photographer—easy to work with, very responsive, with great ideas, and of course, extraordinary photos! We were so lucky to find him and are happy with how our photos turned out. I would recommend Eugene to anyone. If you want an experienced photographer who can capture emotional, beautiful, breathtaking photos, Eugene is your guy. You will NOT be disappointed.

Everyone there was so easy to work with, we are from out of town so they gave us a FaceTime tour. The team went above and beyond to make our day special and help us feel calm before walking down the rooftop asile. They set up the space exactly how we wanted it. The greenery that is already there made the rooftop and barrel room look magical! Our guests loved the venue and so did we!

Carly is the absolute best. I told her my vision and she brought it to life in the most magical way possible, more than I could ever imagine. I look at my wedding pictures and I fondly think of when I’ll get to show these to my grandkids in the future. The unexpected shots were my favorite ones. The colors popped amazingly and some of them even look like they could be photos in a magazine. Carly is such a dream to work with, her communication is top tier and she shows so much grace and flexibility. We know we will hire her to photograph our next phases of life.

Emerald Ridge made every part of our weekend so perfect and special. This location and views are absolutely STUNNING. The owners truly cared so much and made our day magical. Their organization and communication are both top notch. We recommend using the coordinator at the venue, Malorie, as she was the true MVP and knows every detail at this venue back to front. We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.
