Chynna is the absolute best. I had no idea where to start, just an idea of my vision, and Chynna brought it all to life. She had everything we needed before we knew we needed it, allowing us to really enjoy our special moments together. Chynna not only was the most professional host, even making us dinner as we camped underneath the stars in Joshua Tree, but she also became a friend along the way, making the whole experience even more memorable. All communication was detailed, timely, and organized/clear. I will absolutely be using KnightCo. Events for some things I have coming up - so so excited! Reliving these moments over and over again!!

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.

A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Candler, NC

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

I wanted a wedding venue in the mountains of North Carolina. I viewed so many venues from Salem to Banner Elk. Nothing compared to The Fields of Blackberry Cove. They were easy to set up a viewing appointment with. They walked us all around the property, including multiple ceremony options and a large guest house with a bridal suite and two guest bathrooms. Doug, the owner, offers his own catering which was beyound incredible. We did a buffet style and it was all delicious. Doug even made me my own cauliflower steak - I'm a vegetarian.

Highland is definitely the best venue in Asheville! The rooftop has beautiful mountain views, the barrel room has a great skylight and hanging greenery, and the reception space can be made into whatever you want it to be. We used all three spaces for our wedding and it has great flow and plenty of space for a larger guest count. Erin & Bailey were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process from touring/initial questions to all the tiny details leading up to the big day. Our wedding was scheduled shortly after the hurricane in fall 2024, and we were so passionate about having it at Highland that we rescheduled to 6 months later, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Amazing staff, excellent draft beer, convenient to downtown, and a beautiful space; we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

Mike from Freas Photography truly made our wedding day memorable. He treated us like family, not just clients, and his expertise and professionalism helped us capture our dream wedding. Throughout the planning process, he was always available to answer our questions promptly, whether by phone or email. What stood out to us was that Mike not only captured the photos we requested but also took the initiative to capture moments he knew we would cherish as a couple. During the wedding day, Mike struck a perfect balance between ensuring we got the photos we wanted with our loved ones and giving us the space to savor the precious moments. His attention to detail was evident as he navigated the event seamlessly, ensuring that each photograph told a beautiful story. The photos he delivered were truly breathtaking, and we are grateful to have these memories to cherish for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike and Freas Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Every penny spent was worth it, and we are confident that you will love his work as much as we do. Thank you, Mike, for being a crucial part of our special day.
