Durham, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Joey went above and beyond to make our day amazing. He adjusted with the rain delays and made everything work with a positive attitude. I was especially impressed that multiple times throughout dinner he checked on us to see if we needed anything to drink etc. Something he certainly did not have to do, but seemed eager to help. We appreciate his kindness and professionalism.

I’m Ariana Dolan—wedding day coordinator, timeline guru, and your go-to calm presence when things get a little hectic. I've been coordinating weddings for over 12 years, ever since planning my own wedding in 2013. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of overseeing so many brides walk down the aisle—whether in grand cathedrals or beautifully crafted backyard celebrations. I currently reside in Durham, North Carolina, where I live with my husband and four children.

Ariana was exceptional! Once she donned her black apron, she was fully prepared for any situation that arose. She skillfully coordinated all aspects, working seamlessly with the caterers, photographer, and wedding party while also assisting with last-minute setup. She was a calming presence; we were not stressed about anything because we knew that Ariana would handle anything that came up. Thanks to Ariana we were able to relax and enjoy the day.

Finding my passion for floral design completely changed my life for the better. It is the art form I was always searching for. To be able to do this for others and be a part of their special day in such a beautiful way is truly a dream come true. Every detail is important to me, from the color palette and the vessels to the candle stick holders used. I am here to help bring your vision to life, and am happy to creatively steer the ship whenever needed.

Working with Xela Florals was such a joy from start to finish. Alex truly listened to what we wanted and made us feel so taken care of throughout the process. We came in with a loose vision, a modest budget, and some Pinterest boards—and she turned that into something beyond what we imagined. The flowers were gorgeous—romantic, dreamy, and completely us. She helped us strike the perfect balance of florals and candlelight, creating an atmosphere that felt warm, intimate, and totally magical. Every detail felt thoughtful and intentional, and we could tell how much love she poured into the work. Walking into our venue and seeing everything set up literally took our breath away. On top of being incredibly talented, Alex is just a lovely human. Kind, creative, responsive, and full of good energy—the kind of person you want around on your wedding team. We’re so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend Xela Florals more!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Laura. From the moment I met her, I knew we were going to be in the best hands. Laura and her husband Drew (who was a second shooter for us) are not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest, most calming presence to have with you on such an emotional weekend. They made my husband and I feel completely at ease, captured every moment so naturally, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. The photos they delivered are beyond anything we could have imagined—gorgeous, artful, emotional, and full of life.

Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

Fancy This Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

You're already beautiful, I'll just help you shine!

Theresa did an absolutely incredible job with make-up on my wedding day! She worked alone and was able to do make-up for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers all before it was time for photos! Not only that, but she did an incredible job and all 5 of us were so happy with the looks she gave us. From the beginning, I loved the way she highlighted someone's natural beauty with make-up. I loved the look she did for me because it was very natural, yet made me feel bridal and beautiful and put together! She prepped the skin beforehand and everything was very soothing and clean feeling! (I have very sensitive skin and was concerned about this, but it was no problem for her at all, and my skin felt so fresh and like it was glowing!). All of her make-up also felt very light and effortless - I could barely tell I was wearing make-up and the lashes also did not bother me. Also, I cried a majority of the day, and despite that fact the make-up lasted all throughout the day and night!! She was very kind all throughout the day, and made casual conversation with all of us - we all felt comfortable with her! I highly recommend Theresa for all your make-up needs on your wedding day, prom, or other event! She is wonderful! Thank you, Theresa, for everything!

I’m Tammy Jean Lamoureux, artist, partner, mother, photographer. In the twenty years that I’ve been taking pictures, photography has been my tool for seeing beauty in the everyday. My hope is to document the biggest moments of people’s lives while also illuminating those small moments of magic that hide in plain sight. The poetry of life is everywhere, and I try to create honest, heartfelt photographs that help us carry a little of that beauty along with us. I believe in the joy of improvisation, the tenderness in awkward moments, and photographs as time machines. Your moments are so precious. I’d be honored to document them.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Tammy! In addition to being so kind, professional, and easy to work with, the quality of her work speaks for itself. Tammy is truly an artist. The photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding are more than we could have hoped for. Her work captures the beauty in the small moments throughout the day in addition to the big ones. These small moments helped to tell such an intimate story of our wedding day and are some of the photos that I treasure the most! Tammy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She provided a perfect balance of subtle guidance while also allowing us to interact in a way that felt natural to us, resulting in photos that really captured our personalities and relationship. When planning our wedding, we knew that the decision of booking a photographer was one of the most important that we would make, and I am so grateful that we made the decision to go with Tammy. I would 100% work with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in NC! P.s. wanted to give a special shout out to her black and white photos! She is truly a magician at editing.

My name is Jen and I'm the owner of Southern Skies. The name comes from my love of seeing the NC stars on a clear night with its calmness and unfiltered beauty. I've been planning events since I was 16 and been planning professionally since 2014. My goal for Southern Skies is to plan beautiful weddings for amazing couples, help take their stress away and do it with kindness. I'm a true believer that love is love and life is a celebration that always calls for a glass of bubbly! When I'm not planning weddings, you can find me at my laptop with a glass of red wine, brunching with friends or exploring the world.

We were required to use Southern Skies Events by our venue, and it was honestly one of the best things to happen to us during the whole wedding planning process. Right off the bat we were able to utilize them through email and they answered all my questions quickly and helped so much. And then we were matched Sarah.... best wedding planner and day of coordinator ever! Sarah knew what I needed before I even knew it myself. She was incredibly helpful during the three months we worked together up until the big day, and even took it upon herself to go and pick up our wedding cake when there was a major miscommunication on the day of. You know you have a great planner whenever none of the guests, not even the groom, know there's any sort of mishap the day of. One of my favorite memories was right before my outfit change, I was hot and my feet hurt, and just sat down for a moment in the bridal suite to decompress. Before I knew it, Sarah was there helping me out of my heels. Like I said, she knew what I needed before I even knew it myself. 100000% would recommend

  • Caterer

Welcome! I'm Chef Sakinah. I have worked in the food and beverage industry professionally for nearly a decade and counting. Throughout my career, I've worked in various restaurants across New Jersey, New York City, Florida, North Carolina, and California. With this exposure, I've learned many different styles, cuisines, and techniques of cooking, and from many executive head chefs. Managing and handling all facets of the kitchen, is also my expertise. Graduating from one of the top Culinary Arts Schools in the United States, I earned my A.A.S Degree in Culinary Arts, and Serv Safe/State Food Safety Certificate.

P & L Creates Art was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, Sakinah, the owner, was transparent, flexible, and responsive in her communication with us. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, conducting multiple consultations to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The food itself was delicious, presentable, and healthy - our guests raved about the quality and flavors. The tasting we did prior to the wedding was all we needed to confirm that P & L Creates Art was the right choice. Sakinah's professionalism and attention to detail stood out, and we were thrilled with how beautifully she and her team executed on the day of. We highly recommend P & L Creates Art to any couple looking for a caterer that will make their wedding day truly special.
