Im so blessed to have worked with Southern Magpie Designs!! My wedding was 4-5 weeks away at the time I reached out to Southern Magpie and she made it work with us! On top of that the communication was quick going back and forth with Amie as I appreciate so much that she had answered all my questions. I had a ton and she made me feel at ease. Amie knew exactly what I wanted when she gave me a preview of flowers that were going to be used for the wedding and I was just so happy that Amie understood the vision. By the time it was the wedding day, I was so breathless to see how amazing the flowers were at the reception, our sweetheart table, bouquet and boutonnières. I would work with them again if I had any special occasion, event and etc. coming up. Thank you!! ️ Alyssa J. & Cullen P.

Hey there! I’m an outgoing & fun boutique wedding DJ that works with a limited number of couples to fully customize the vibe of the wedding day to your style & personality, and help guests have more fun than they planned on, until the very last song! As a DJ, host, & party producer I guide you through the wedding music to make the entire process easy, delivering an engaging wedding experience through crowd interaction (no awkward moments ever), full music curation, and immersive sound & full-room lighting design. Plus, your guests might just think you hired Pitbull ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with Marty at our recent wedding! From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, his attention to detail is amazing -- he noticed a discrepancy between the couple introduction song that we had put in the Vibo app versus what our day of coordinator had on her wedding timeline. He then reached out to the day of coordinator to figure out which song was correct. He also took the time to understand what we were looking for for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. He reached out many times prior to our wedding to check in with us and make sure that all of our questions were answered. It was clear that he genuinely cares about providing a memorable experience. Marty is also flexible. Originally the plan was for our dance floor to be outside. However, due to a heat wave we ended up deciding to move the dance floor inside. Marty was able to easily accommodate this request and he also offered to put speakers outside so guests who were out on the deck would still be able to hear the music. We also recommend going with the up-lighting. He did a great job setting up the lights. The lights actually change colors and really change the vibe of the reception room once the party gets started! The live music he delivered during cocktail hour was a standout of the night. We had so many compliments from guests about his cocktail hour performance. Another aspect that truly set Marty apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did he do a great job reading the vibe of the room in order to keep the dance floor lively, but at one point he also helped with cleaning up dinner plates. He showed a level of dedication and professionalism that's rare to find. Marty played a crucial role in making our wedding a success. We highly recommend him for any occasion!

We worked with Carina of Raleigh Weddings, and it was easily one of the best decisions that we made. Carina has an impeccable eye for details, and through all her meetings helped us ensure that nothing was overlooked on the wedding day. She provided us with thorough check lists, email recaps, and reliable communication to help make our day perfect. Perhaps the best part about Carina is that she is so personable and brings so much joy to the wedding planning process. You could tell that she really cares about all of the people she works with. It is refreshing how authentic she is! Moreover, she really took the stress out of the process especially in the last few weeks. If it was something that she could take off our plates, she was more than happy to do it for us. I can thank her for a wonderful wedding that was flawlessly executed.

I could not have asked for a better photographer than Casie!! We met her for our engagement shoot and she made us feel right at home, despite neither of us loving getting our picture taken. It gave me a lot of calm on our wedding day knowing we were in good hands! Casie was always early and super professional, responded to emails immediately, and set up meetings so we could discuss expectations and what we wanted. We got a sneak peek with lots of photos just a few days after the wedding, and we just got the rest of the photos and are so thrilled with them!! She got everything on our shot list, gave just the right amount of direction to look nice without feeling forced, and really captured the day beautifully--including moments that I myself didn't even realize were happening! She worked well with our videographer, and her second shooter was also amazing.I would highly recommend Casie!

When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all.

She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!

We are so grateful we chose Myesha as our Month-Of Coordinator! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy and flexible to work with. As someone who planned most of the wedding myself, I brought Myesha in for the final month to make sure I had everything in place and she truly delivered. She carefully double-checked my timeline, made sure all the details were covered, and helped ensure nothing was overlooked. She even went onsite ahead of time to meet with my venue coordinator. Although they had never worked together before, they immediately got along and collaborated seamlessly on the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Myesha kept everything running smoothly. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be and that we stayed on schedule without making anything feel rushed. Her calm, professional demeanor and positive spirit made such a difference, especially during moments that could have felt stressful.

Kash did a great job setting the tone of the wedding throughout our two-day celebrations! He went above and beyond to create a picture print (Monogram) to display during our reception. He is very kind and such a great DJ to work with! He hyped up the crowd during garba & reception, provided awesome mobile-baraat experience, created all of our mixes for our special-dance-performances, .. and was super flexible especially with my hectic schedule. Thank you so much Kash for making this such a memorable event for us! :)

We were gifted a beautiful live painting created by Kaitlin for our wedding by a family member. It was one thing I really wanted for our big day, and Kaitlin did such an amazing job! She was set up to the side of our ceremony and captured our first kiss. She continued to paint throughout the evening and our guests really enjoyed watching her. She presented our painting to us during the reception and we took it home that night! We will keep it for years to come and it is something even our kids will admire someday. Cannot recommend Kaitlin enough!
