Meg at Moments with Meg Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From our very first interaction, Meg's communication style was thorough, supportive, and accommodating - she took the time to understand our vision and needs, and was incredibly relatable throughout the entire process. The quality of her work and value she provided was unparalleled, with attention to detail, an experienced and caring approach, and a thoughtfulness that ensured we had the best day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey was great all-around. He was super personable from the get-go which is one of the main reasons we chose him. We were doing a Halloween costume wedding and he was happy to dress up in a costume as well and be a part of it all. He had great suggestions before and during the event in regards to our playlists as well as interactions with the guests. He did an awesome job taking our song list and mixing it so that we got all the best parts of songs and moving from one to another before it felt too long or hit parts that were too long/repetitive. I'd definitely hire him again and we had multiple guests compliment him after the event. A.

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

Awarded Best of Zola
Brianna was such a pleasure to work with. I hired her for her day-of coordination as I planned my wedding myself. It was a small, pretty minimalist wedding with 40 guests, but having Brianna coordinate with the vendors, and lead the rehearsal and wedding day was a huge relief during a stressful planning process. She was flexible with helping us plan our timeline earlier than usual and asked us all of the questions that wouldn’t have ever occurred to me. She was super supportive and communicative and helped find me vendors and just so patient with us. Scheduling meetings through her website was a breeze! Being able to see her availability without going back and forth or waiting for confirmations was super helpful. Brianna was a huge help when we learned we couldn’t store our decor at the venue the day before, so after the rehearsal at the venue, she stashed all the decor in her car. The day of our wedding, Brianna and her assistant put the dinner tables exactly as I had shown her, but I was really impressed with how she used our leftover decor for our guestbook table, gift table, and even the bar! It all felt really cohesive and I was impressed by her creativity and her ability to improvise. Brianna was so reassuring and on top of everything and she really made our day run as smoothly as possible!

We had the BEST time planning our wedding day with Magnolia Collective (MC). We unfortunately had some wedding venue "drama" along the way, and MC was so professional and helped address any concerns we had. I knew our wedding day was going to run like a well oiled machine, and I truly can't believe how perfect the day was. We did the partial planning package and it was definitely worth having that extra bit of planning support and onsite vendor visits. Highly recommend! :)

Working with Erin was absolutely amazing. She did my hair for two occasions including my wedding. I met her by chance and I’m so glad I did. After she did my hair for the first event I immediately hired her for the wedding. She was detailed, lightning fast, and creative. She did my wedding hair with very little guidance. I simply told her what I was looking for and she brought it to life perfectly. Everyone who got their hair done was super happy with it. Erin was a great communicator throughout the process, on time, and just overall an amazing human. I would hire her over and over again. I’m sad I don’t have another event coming up that I can have her do my hair for! Overall, you cannot go wrong by hiring her!

Hi, I'm Ava! I've been passionate about -people- my entire life. The love that I have for family and humanity has flourished into my enjoyment of filming meaningful experiences. I have always been the family member who captures the smiles, hugs, and laughter shared between people when brought together to celebrate a momentous occasion. A room filled to the brim with love and joy on your wedding day is something that deserves to be watched and felt over and over again. I take great pride in capturing that atmosphere and telling the story of your very special day by way of cinematic, heartfelt video.

Ava at Mirage Media and Video was an amazing person to work with. I can't recommend her enough. She is professional, communicative, punctual, confident, creative, and entertaining. I worked with Ava on a wedding this fall where she was the DJ/MC. She arrived on time and organized to the rehearsal and immediately made everyone feel at ease. On the day of the wedding I had no doubt that Ava would have everything handled but I didn't realize how above and beyond she would go for the couple. Every cue for the ceremony was on point, every announcement was clear and inviting, and the music was amazing! The mix went seamlessly from dinner into the dance floor and everyone couldn't help but to get up and dance. She was prepared with the couple's requests but was also able to adjust on the fly for guest requests. I have no doubt your wedding will be an absolutely smashing success if you hire Ava. I also got a sneak peak at some of her videography and can confirm she is just as talented with the camera. All of the same qualities that make her a great DJ translate into making her a great videographer. You can't go wrong hiring Mirage Media and Video!

I am a stay-at-home mom of three who loves flowers. Growing up on my family farm I foraged flowers and foliage to make arrangements for friends and neighbors. I love dreaming about weddings with brides and designing lovely arrangements out of stunning local flowers. Flowers are so gorgeous on their own, it is a delight to work with them. My dream of having my own flower farm is finally a reality! When you book me, your flowers will be unique and fully local, from my farm and other local farms. I especially enjoy using seasonal flowers because they lend their own character to the finished designs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We met with Camille, the owner of Juniper and Rose, several months before the wedding date to discuss the flowers. Neither my wife nor I had any real background in flowers and decorating, so we came into the meeting with only very vague ideas. Camille spent a lot of time walking us through choosing our decorating inspirations and the various flowers that she recommended, as well as adapting all our conversations to our wedding colour combo of navy and green. Honestly, giving her the creative freedom to work in response to a couple of inspiration pictures and our discussion about flowers was the best choice that we could have made in choosing a florist. She took those half dozen pictures and vague references to an arch and "extra flowers like a meadow?" and turned it into the most gorgeous installation that she assembled for us on the spot the day before the wedding. We loved that she used recycled and upcycled materials for the arch rather than single use mass market items, and her design used live greenery wherever possible. Her prices were phenomenal too and she adjusted where we needed to fit in our budget, and we couldnt be happier with the results.

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.

Dareece is also kind enough to open her books for a regular haircut for me, and I'll continue to see her as long as she's around!

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

Coby was one of the most organized, prepared, and professional vendors we worked with on our wedding day. She walked my husband and I through every shoot - what to expect and how to prepare. Not only did she provide high-quality and professional work, she is also a wonderful person to spend time with! She felt more like a friend than our photographer!”

I am a photographer in the Raleigh, NC area but I am totally willing to travel. I love to capture life and all its glory. I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland which is why my company's name is Beatha. It is Gaelic for LIFE. I capture life in the most raw form and curate it for my clients to enjoy for years. I love taking a moment in someone's life and making it last a life time. I love to shoot documentary style with very candid moments. People's true emotions are more clear this way and I always find it the most beautiful.

I recently had a photo shoot with Corinne and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment we started, their fun and easygoing personality made the entire experience so relaxing. They have a natural ability to put you at ease, making it feel less like a formal shoot and more like hanging out with a friend. The creative direction they provided was spot-on, and I loved how they encouraged me to be myself. The photos turned out amazing—beautifully capturing the moments we shared. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines talent with a laid-back vibe, Beatha Photography is the one to book!

I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

Maggie was wonderful to work with. We ordered a cutting cake and cupcakes in 3 flavors - vanilla almond, chocolate orange, and lemon. The flavors were all subtle and not too sweet, in the best way. Highly recommend everything from Maggie, especially the mini cupcakes - those were crowd pleasers. Looking forward to ordering our anniversary cake in a year!
