Buck Naked Farm 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Franklinton, NC
  • Offer

I'm a NC native and organic gardener who was drawn to flowers by my honeybees. I love drawing natural beauty from seeds and soil all the way to finished centerpieces. I'm constantly inspired by NC's distinct seasons and the abundance they provide to all the wildlife we steward on our farm.

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!

When searching for a venue to host my son's rehearsal dinner I stumbled across The Carolina Estate online. I reached out to the venue and was delighted to learn I was speaking directly with Mrs. Sheila, the venue owner. From the first phone call, I immediately felt such a connection to her and her sincere kindness. I was coming from 4 hours away to have the dinner here and had no idea where to begin with catering or anything else. She was kind enough to send me a vendors list and even put me in contact with a local catering service. She never minded me calling or emailing her with questions and was always available and very knowledgeable. She sent me pics of the Opal room, which is just one of the many rooms they have available and I immediately knew that it was exactly what I was looking for. When I arrived she had the tables arranged as we had discussed and I must say the place blew me away with all of its beauty. It is located on a picturesque landscape with with a beautiful view of a large pond. The room I rented was very adequate for a rehearsal dinner and could accommodate 60 people easily. The ceiling is decorated with beautiful twinkling led lights that are breathtaking at night. The facility is immaculate. Very easy access. It was just perfect and so was the package pricing (very good pricing for such an amazing venue). I am still getting compliments about the dinner and everyone was so impressed with everything about it. If you are looking for a beautiful venue either for your wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or any other occasion please give The Carolina Estate a chance, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for making our Night Before be something we will remember forever!

Amy Ellis Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Franklinton, NC

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.

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've always had a deep passion for organizing and planning which is why I chose to start my own Event Planning business. I knew at a young age being a Special Events/Wedding Planner is a dream I wanted to pursue.

I just had my wedding last weekend, March 2025, and could not be happier with the experience I had with Jackie and Madison. I began the planning process with Jackie last summer and always felt taken care of after our conversations. She helped manage anything we asked of her including finding venues, speaking with vendors, offering design ideas and allowing use of her personal inventory. She completely captured our vision for our wedding day and executed the day of beautifully. I was able to fully relax the morning of and enjoy our day with friends and family with no worries about any logistics or day of prep that needed to be done. I could not recommend a better team to place your trust into!

Working with Tony and Beth at Old Lystra Inn was an absolute dream from start to finish. After spending countless hours searching for the perfect venue, my husband and I knew immediately that this was the one the moment we pulled up the driveway. Tony greeted us with a late-evening tour that felt incredibly personal, not at all rushed—and it set the tone for everything that followed. The property itself is breathtaking. The grounds are impeccably maintained and filled with charm, and so much is included in the rental package—tent, dance floor, chairs, tables, and more—which made planning far less stressful. It was a huge relief not having to coordinate all those big logistics separately. Beth and Tony were a constant source of support leading up to the big day. Whether it was a quick stop by to walk the grounds, a late-night email, or one of our many questions (and there were a lot!), they always made time for us. We never felt like “just another couple” in a long wedding season. Instead, they made us feel like our day truly mattered—like we were getting married in a place that had heart and soul, not just beautiful scenery. On the day itself, Tony was everywhere—behind the scenes making things happen and helping everything flow effortlessly. We can’t overstate how much that meant to us. Thanks to his quiet dedication, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy the day. We are endlessly grateful to have had our wedding at Old Lystra Inn. It was the best day of our lives, and Tony and Beth played such a meaningful role in making that possible. We can’t wait for the day we get to return as guests and relive the magic from a different perspective. Highly, highly recommend!

What started as an experiment in flavor, quickly evolved into a community-wide obsession for making the best quality ice cream for anyone who walked in our door. From the kitchen counter to the farmers market and beyond our dedication to unique flavors crafted from premium ingredients and passion for pleasing has brought Mama Bird’s to where we are today. Our name, Mama Bird’s, is rooted in our past and a nod to our first taste testers – our daughters, “Mama” for Averi, and “Bird” for Taylor. Since then, we’ve gained countless other taste testers and they all agree, this is how ice cream is supposed to be made.

We hired Mama Birds for our wedding and it was such a hit! The ice cream cart was such a fun addition to our reception and our guests loved the variety of flavors and options (pops, scoops, sandwiches). It was really easy to work with the team in advance of the day- communication was timely and professional, and they gave some great advice when we were trying to narrow down our selections. Would absolutely recommend!

I've worked with The Umstead's wedding & events team for over eight years, and they truly are the gold standard of excellence in the Triangle area. They are courteous, communicative, kind, professional, and well-versed in every aspect of a high-level wedding or event. Kayla and Haley are so kind and prompt in their communication, so collaborative in their approach to event planning, and so dedicated to the success of each event they host. I am always thrilled when our teams get to work together, because from the first client introduction through the fast-paced day of setup, execution and wrap-up, The Umstead's team is truly a joy to know and work with.

Kaitlyn Blake Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,300
  • Serves Franklinton, NC

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

David Howell Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Franklinton, NC

Raleigh and Winston-Salem based wedding photographer specializing in providing its couples with true to life, colorful imagery that is reminiscent of film photography. with timeless posing and color that will last a lifetime. David is down to earth, chill, and is easy to work with. David also specializes in family photos, spring and fall mini sessions, engagements, bridals, and branding.

We truly can’t say enough good things about our wedding photographer! As out-of-town clients, planning a wedding from afar came with its challenges, but he went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation, he made us feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. On the day of our engagement shoot, he instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat!)—he has such a calm, kind presence that brought out the best in us. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, timeless, and full of emotion. You can tell he puts his heart into every shot. When our wedding had to be rescheduled and he was no longer available on the new date, he didn’t just leave us hanging—he found us the perfect replacement, someone who matched his style and vibe flawlessly. That level of care and dedication is rare, and we are beyond grateful for it. He is truly the best and the kindest, and anyone would be lucky to have him capture their big day.
