Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Bunn DJ Company Virginia to DJ our 150-guest wedding. Frank was our DJ, and he did a wonderful job all day helping us to curate several different vibes for different parts of the evening. The online tools from Bunn DJ made curating and sharing a playlist of our favorite songs as well as what songs to use where (first dance, wedding party introductions, last dance, etc) a breeze as well as very user friendly. Frank was a great MC, and got 150 guests wrangled to several different rooms throughout the night between cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing (all in different parts of our venue)! He did a great job balancing songs for different age groups as well as when to let songs play out longer or mix into the next song more quickly if the crowd was not into it. He is a big reason our dance floor was packed all night long! We were very happy with Bunn DJ Company Virginia’s services and specifically Frank’s skill as a DJ. Also, if it is within your budget, get the club cannons. Firing those off on our dancefloor was pure electricity for the energy on the dancefloor!

Every wedding tells a story, and I believe the flowers should feel just as personal. As a NC native and Pittsboro farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers I design with, pairing the best of each season with your style, color palette, values and the details that matter most to you. Whether it's a favorite color, a cherished family memory or simply the feeling you want your guests to remember, I love translating those ideas into flowers that feel aligned with you. You don't need to know flower names or what's in bloom. That's where I come in. I guide you through the process, creating flowers that are beautiful, seasonal and very you.

cannot recommend Buck Naked Farm enough for your wedding flowers! From the very first consultation, they made the entire process so easy and personal. I wanted flowers that felt fresh, natural, and unique—nothing cookie-cutter—and they delivered beyond my expectations. The bouquets and centerpieces were stunning, filled with seasonal blooms grown on their farm in Pittsboro. You could *feel* the care and love that went into every arrangement. The colors and overall design perfectly matched the relaxed, romantic vibe of our wedding. My guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the flowers were! What I loved most was knowing that everything was locally and sustainably grown—something that was really important to us. They even accommodated my vision while suggesting blooms like dahlias that I hadn’t thought of, making the arrangements even more magical. If you’re looking for wedding flowers that are truly one-of-a-kind and beautifully designed, they are the way to go. They’re perfect for couples who want gorgeous local florals with a personal touch. 10/10!

We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey’s DJ Service was an excellent choice for our Durham, NC wedding! Joey was so kind and friendly from the jump, and we liked and trusted him starting from our consultation call at the beginning of planning our event. Even at that early stage, Joey was already advocating for us to have the wedding we wanted, sharing tips on how to structure the day so we were able to set aside time for private moments of introvert connection during a very social, family-focused event. We ended up booking him to provide music for our entire wedding day, from pre-ceremony music (played while guests were arriving and taking their seats) through the ceremony (including microphones for the officiant and groom) through cocktail hour, dinner, special dances and toasts, and the dance party portion of the reception. Joey’s attention to detail, including making sure he knew which specific versions of the songs we requested we wanted to play, and which music lined up with specific points in the schedule of events, was unmatched. Joey’s client portal made it easy to share our music choices for all these different parts of our big day. He paid close attention to our playlists/requests for the dance party while also mixing in some of his own selections, reading the room and ensuring everyone had something to dance to; this was especially impressive given that our guests ranged in age from infants to octogenarians! He was also sensitive to the nuances of a big family gathering: My dad and I don’t have a close relationship, so my mom and I did a mother-daughter dance in place of the traditional father-daughter one. When my dad put in a song request later in the evening, telling Joey he intended to ask me to dance with him to that song, Joey pulled me aside to make sure it was okay first before honoring the request. My new husband and I loved working with Joey’s DJ Service for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this seasoned professional to anyone planning a special event.

I’ve been a Raleigh, NC local since 2014—by way of Chicago, by way of military brat, so, all over. With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction.. An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, look no further—you’ve found the best. Any couple would be incredibly fortunate to have Brighid from Oz Images capture their special day. We wholeheartedly give her a 10/10 recommendation. From the very beginning, Brighid impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and creativity. She took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and figure out exactly how to capture the images we would value. Her communication was clear, her pricing was reasonable, and every interaction was straightforward and professional. We weren’t interested in many posed or overly formal shots. She planned and executed a few beautifully composed portraits, but what truly blew us away were the candid moments she captured so effortlessly. These photos told the real story of our wedding—a heartfelt, joyful celebration shared with 300 of our closest friends and family. Brighid has a gift for recognizing and preserving the spontaneous, meaningful interactions that make a wedding so personal and memorable. She developed a playful yet respectful rapport with our wedding party, which was exactly what our personality-filled group needed! She became part of the celebration—not just an observer—sharing in our joy and reflecting it back to us through her lens. She captured the subtle dynamics of our relationships with grace, humor, and tenderness. During the ceremony and reception, Brighid worked like a photo ninja—always present, never intrusive. She caught genuine moments of connection: laughter, tears, shared glances—photos that make us feel like we’re reliving the day every time we look at them. Our final album doesn’t just show who was there; it reveals how deeply loved and supported we felt on that day. Her turnaround time was lightning-fast. We received a sneak peek within hours and the full, beautifully edited album shortly after. Her editing style is natural, vibrant, and timeless—it elevated every shot without making them feel overly processed. A particularly meaningful note: due to a last-minute illness, my parents couldn’t attend the wedding. Thanks to Brighid’s thoughtful coverage and the help of a little technology, they felt like they were right there with us. These images mean the world to us. We revisit our wedding photos often. They make us laugh, cry, and feel so grateful all over again. Having Oz Images document our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Brighid didn’t just take pictures—she captured the spirit of our marriage and the love that surrounded us. We will treasure these images for a lifetime.

I’m a bit late in posting this since I just received my official photos. I was planning my wedding in NC in February 2026 while being out of town and didn’t know anyone for makeup. I came across Theresa Makeupbon the Knot website. I loved her natural look. I had my fears because of my dark skin tone, not everyone can handle this, but I got exactly what I wanted for my wedding day—I don’t usually wear makeup and didn’t want my appearance to feel different. Theresa was incredibly punctual, detail-oriented, and thoughtful. She even shared skincare tips with me months before the wedding, which I really appreciated. When I leave a review, I make sure it’s honest, so, I can confidently say Theresa truly gives her best to her clients. She made sure everyone was happy and took amazing care of my bridesmaids, they looked like princesses. The overall look was natural yet glamorous, and the makeup lasted all day despite heavy rain, dancing, and different lighting throughout the church. And the photos! Absolutely beautiful.

I cannot recommend MadFlorals enough! Maddie was so receptive to my vision for florals, easy to communicate with, and such a good presence on the wedding day! My florals turned out more stunning than I could have imagined, and were my favorite part of our wedding design. On our wedding day we had to change our plans and move everything inside due to weather last minute. Maddie stayed this whole time and made sure everything turned out beautifully even though it was not our original plan, layout, and design! Work with her!! You will be so glad you did!

Our photos are so full of feeling, I can barely look at them without tearing up. It’s crazy how they managed to capture so much joy and love in just a single frame. It’s not just about how everything looked but how everything felt. That’s what makes them so special.

Our wedding day was seamless, without any mishaps, all thanks to Rachel! We went through a thorough planning process with her, in which she answered all questions effectively and gave us ideas about things we had never thought about. She understood the aesthetic we were looking for. All of her efforts really showed on our special day, making it the best time of our life!

Stylus S.E. 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Franklinton, NC

In Raleigh, Just like in Durham, Chapel Hill, and throughout North Carolina, once the guests arrive …the wedding DJ is the most consquential wedding vendor that you'll hire. The average wedding puts 75%-80% of their event in their DJ's hands. That's why, when it’s time to celebrate and have fun, you can relax and enjoy your event with Stylus! Entertainment is the single most important part of how your wedding will be remembered. If your wedding DJ isn’t getting everyone of all ages involved, from your friends to your parents and grandparents, then they’re probably not playing the right mix for you.

We are so thankful we chose Stylus S.E. and DJ Mez for our wedding! From start to finish, DJ Mez made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. He set the perfect tone during the ceremony, kept the energy high at the reception, and made sure the dance floor was never empty. He was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and really listened to what we wanted. Our guests are still raving about the music! If you're looking for a DJ who will truly elevate your wedding day, we can’t recommend DJ Mez and Stylus S.E. enough.
