Hi Sarah and Natalie, I wanted to take a moment to truly thank you both for the incredible job you did on my hair and makeup, as well as for my mom and mother-in-law. You both exceeded my expectations, and the makeup stayed flawless all night! You were both such a joy to work with. We laughed and chatted throughout the entire process, and it made the whole experience so much fun. Sarah, I cannot thank you enough for how you went above and beyond to help my family during a difficult situation. You were so calm, kind, and supportive while still making sure I was ready on time—it really felt like having a friend by my side. Your work was impeccable. Sarah, I especially appreciated how you listened to my feedback and communicated with me throughout the day to make sure I was satisfied. Both of you are incredibly talented and made me, my mom, and mother-in-law feel like our best selves.

In Bloom Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Gastonia, NC
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christan is such a fantastic photographer! She knows exactly how to make your session feel relaxed, natural, and more like capturing pictures in the moment with your significant other rather than feeling like you are constantly aware of the camera. What’s so amazing is that she will guide you on posing and then just let you have your moment afterwards. This helps prevent any awkwardness of “what do I do with my hands?!”. That being said, she does also take more “formal” shots during the session so you really are getting the best of both worlds! I highly, highly recommend In Bloom Photography if you are looking for a documentary style wedding photographer!

A&J Sweetz 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Gastonia, NC
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $300

A&J Sweetz is owned by Asja Cloud and based right outside of Charlotte, NC. She got the idea to start the business back in 2013 during a discussion with a close friend about finding and chasing passions. When they heard that Asja's passion has always been baking delicious treats for their friends and family, they suggested that she move things to a bigger scale and pursue it full-time. Ever since, A&J Sweetz has grown bigger than either she has ever imagined!

I would recommend A and J Sweetz to anyone needing a wedding cake. Everything was great from the tasting to seeing the cake set up on my wedding day. I loved the vintage icing style and that's exactly what I got. Not to mention the cake tasted amazing. Many wedding I've been to where the cake looked amazing but did not taste great, but this is not their style. The cake looked and tasted amazing and the guests couldn't get enough of it either. You can't go wrong with A and J Sweetz.

  • Starts at $375

Hey, I'm Savannah! I am a NC girl with big city dreams. My passion for all things beauty began when I went to Cosmetology school. I began to work with talented makeup artists and hairstylists at Wedding venues and fell in LOVE with the vibe and artistry of special event styling. ​

I wish i could get married every weekend, just so i could be with Savannah every weekend! She and the team that she brought were all incredible women who were great at what they did. My bridal party consisted of 2 mothers, 6 bridesmaids, myself, and three flower girls. That is a lot of hair and makeup to do! And they all crushed it. I was very clear with Savannah from the start that some of my bridesmaids had a lot of hair, as did I, and that the time to do it might be longer. She took that into consideration, and was very clear about what time we would need to start in the morning to be ready on time. And not only were we ready on time, but my bridesmaids had ample time to laugh, hang out, bond, and enjoy the day. The care and time that Savannah put into making sure every persons hair and makeup was exactly how they wanted it meant the world to me. She is a wonderful human, and spending my wedding morning with her was the best! Her energy made everyone smile. When it comes to my hair, I am nearly speechless. I wanted a party pony, and she gave me a PaRtY pOnY! It held up all night, and only had three Bobby pins in it! It was painless, timeless, and held all night. Thank you, Savannah, for your time, bright energy, and MUA and hair styling abilities. I felt like the Princess of Ginovia on my wedding day because of you.

They handled all the behind-the-scenes details on our big day - even setting up our flowers for us - allowing us to relax and soak in every magical moment. With multiple scenic ceremony locations and venue options onsite, including housing for guests, Carolina Country provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our wedding festivities. Their team was attentive, detail-oriented, and supportive, providing us with a comprehensive schedule and sticking to it. Our wedding day truly felt special and unique thanks to their efforts. For any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding celebration, we would wholeheartedly recommend Carolina Country Weddings.

Nata Rivers Wedding Content Creator 
Rating: 4.8 (16 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Gastonia, NC

I am a wedding content creator — not a traditional videographer. I create vertical, behind-the-scenes wedding content filmed on iPhone and designed for social media and personal sharing. This service focuses on real, candid moments — anticipation before the ceremony, emotional reactions, and in-between moments that often go unseen. I work alongside photographers and videographers to complement their work, delivering modern content with fast turnaround so couples can relive and share their day almost immediately.

I’ve worked with Natalia on a few weddings, and she is honestly wonderful to have around on a wedding day. She’s very easy to talk to, very calm, and blends in so naturally while capturing all the little moments that couples usually miss. The brides always feel comfortable with her, and her presence never adds stress, only support and warmth. Her work feels real and emotional, not staged. I’m always happy when we get to work together, and I can truly recommend her!

Traveling Tavern

Owner Faith Truesdale has worked as a bartender since 2017. Driven by her love for crafting unique cocktails and creating memorable experiences, Faith went into business on her own. She brought together her creative flair, extensive knowledge of spirits & flavors, and the best team of bartenders she knows, and Traveling Tavern was born!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith was so dang awesome! My original bartender canceled on me 6 weeks before my wedding and Faith from the Traveling Tavern saved the day! She was so organized and was very clear what was included in her services. She was great with the guests and so incredibly nice! She has all the equipment you would need for a wedding bar, so definitely inquire about what she has before you rent any bar equipment or tables from other rental places! I CANNOT RECCOMMEND HER ENOUGH! She will for sure make your wedding planning easier and your wedding drinks so special. I wish I had found her sooner, but I am so thankful it worked out and she was able to help me make our wedding so awesome! After the wedding I had so many guests commenting on how wonderful Faith was. I HIGHLY recommend Faith! - Photo by: Dani Keane Photography
