Athens, TN
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $8

Hi, I’m Ben – founder of The Clean Pour. I LOVE bartending and hate wasting plastic. After years bartending in some of Las Vegas' busiest nightclubs and cocktail lounges, I got tired of the plastic waste behind the bar. So I created a better way: eco-friendly bartending with zero plastic waste.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ben and His wife showed up about an hour and a half to two hours early to set up. They may ever drink that our party ordered and was willing to stay longer if necessary. They provided a professional service and was very prompt. I would recommend using them for any event, no matter the size. Best bartender ever

The Barn at Faith Farms was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fast, clear, and professional. The team there truly went above and beyond to make our day magical. They set up all the decor we brought ahead of time and cleaned everything up at the end of the night, which was such a relief. Their experienced on-site coordinator made the whole day flow seamlessly. We also loved that they provided housing on the property for us the night before the wedding - it was so nice to be able to get ready there together. After speaking to several other couples on our honeymoon, it was clear that The Barn at Faith Farms outperformed every other venue we heard about in terms of service, quality, and value. We can't stop bragging about them and will be recommending them to all our friends and family. 10/10, the best venue and staff out there. Much love, the Blackwells.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $250

Real organic candid moments and eye catching detail shots that tell the story of the day are some hallmarks of Editorial Wedding Photography. My goal in photography is simple: capture real, unposed moments as they happen. Candid photography is all about catching people naturally, when they’re not aware of the camera. This book focuses on how to blend into various settings and snap those genuine expressions and actions without staging anything. I’ll share straightforward techniques for getting good shots quietly and quickly, and discuss the importance of respecting people’s privacy while shooting.

Awarded Best of Zola
Exemplar Sound provided excellent DJing. They provided, set up, and broke down all necessary sound and lighting equipment so that we did not have to worry about it at all. Our DJ for the wedding was Christian. He did a great job playing all of our ceremony, cocktail/dinner hour, and itinerary music just as we requested. He was very responsive and flexible, playing many of our requested dance songs while adding his own suggestions to the mix to help get and keep guests on the dance floor at our small-medium wedding (70 guests). He even came out onto the dance floor at one point to dance with and pump up the crowd! We definitely recommend this DJ service!

I’m Ireland Kelley, a photographer capturing the love, emotion, and confidence in your most intimate moments. From weddings to boudoir, I create soulful images that tell your story with heart and authenticity.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t recommend Ireland enough! Not only was she our wedding photographer, but she also officiated our ceremony — and she did both roles flawlessly. Her photography skills are incredible. She has an eye for natural, effortless beauty and found the perfect location that fit my family’s needs, personalities, and comfort. Our photos look like they came straight out of a magazine. What truly set her apart, though, was everything she did before the big day. For months leading up to our wedding, she checked in, helped me get organized, and guided me through details I never would’ve thought of. On the day of, she handled the schedule like a pro — calm, confident, and completely in control — which allowed me to be fully present. I’ve also seen her work at another wedding, and she delivered the same level of excellence, energy, and talent. Ireland is one of those rare people who can do it all while making you feel cared for every step of the way. If you’re considering booking her, do it. You won’t regret it.

From the moment we first spoke, she was incredibly professional yet friendly - it felt like we were talking to a best friend we'd known for years. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire process. And the quality of their work is truly next level. They are so talented and detail-oriented, capturing all the special moments of our day with such care and artistry.

I cannot recommend Bethany from A Million Little Things enough! After a lot of research, I decided to hire her as our month-of coordinator, and it was truly the best decision I made for our wedding—right up there with saying “I do” to my amazing groom! From the very first conversation, it was clear that Bethany and I clicked. She was not just a planner but a true partner in making our day special. Whenever issues arose (and trust me, they did!), she was right there, providing guidance and support. I even gave her the seemingly impossible task of timing my entrance perfectly, and she absolutely nailed it! Despite outside challenges, she orchestrated everything flawlessly, leaving our guests in awe. Bethany is not just incredible at what she does; she’s also a wonderful person. I genuinely feel like I gained a friend through this experience. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, let me tell you: DO IT! I couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without her expertise, dedication, and warmth. Thank you, Bethany, for making our day unforgettable!

Wedding planning for me started back in 2013, when I started planning our wedding. I truly enjoyed, starting and completing each task while planning.

I always get asked where Carmen Taylor originated from, the name was inspired by our two beautiful kids middle names. I love meeting my clients and hearing your wedding vision. Enjoy learning how they mesh and of course got engaged!!

Working with Carmen Taylor Weddings was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Her calm, reassuring communication put me at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

My daughter loved her beautiful wedding bouquet and the way all the centerpieces for the reception turned out. We did have a few minor glitches with the delivery, but Alexa was *so* responsive and helpful, providing tracking information and overnighting replacement flowers when the colors weren't what we expected. Her fast response time and practical support made the whole experience really positive. We're very grateful for the value and care we received from Flower Moxie!

Beauty by Hazel Skye and Co. were an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From the moment I first reached out, Hazel was prompt, extremely responsive, and did an excellent job of putting this nervous bride at ease. On the day of, their collaborative approach and skilled artistry resulted in makeup that lasted all day and made me and my wedding party feel polished and beautiful. For someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, I was nervous about a full beat, but Leah worked with me to help me still feel like myself on my wedding day. I'm so grateful for Alexis' attention to detail and guidance on working with my curly hair to ensure we got great results. Beauty by Hazel Skye and Co. truly went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. Images by Misti Layne Photography, mistilayne.com
