Anna is the best! And we mean it! We booked her for our engagement photos in 2024 and shortly after booked her for our April 2026 wedding. During our engagement session she made a parking deck in downtown durham look like magic while we were in opposing hockey jerseys, so we felt confident that she could capture our wedding day even better. It was so great to be able to trust in her creative vision, knowing that she has a great eye for emotional, romantic, and moody moments. Also, she was unafraid to give us direction which was so great! It was a fantastic mix of getting some help in posing for photos and allowing us to just be. Her work was even better than I could imagine and I’m so happy she was able to capture our day. Her style is warm but true to life and she captured the emotions of the day beautifully. We are so happy to have these photos to relive our wedding day like it just happened, and I know that Anna will knock your own wedding or special event out of the park!

Amanda and Todd truly made our wedding memorable. All the guests commented on how beautiful their property is. Very professional and easy to work! We toured eight venues before my husband came across their venue and it was a fantastic decision. They have so many options for where you want your ceremony to be held. Fortunately we had perfect weather, but their venue has the best back-up plan to hold a beautiful ceremony indoors if you need to or want to!

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! From the very start, the owner and her team went above and beyond to make planning stress-free and enjoyable. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure every detail was perfectly executed. Their support and calm presence made a huge difference, especially when I was nervous on the big day. The décor closet was such a wonderful bonus, and when I brought in my own items, they decorated the barn beautifully — it looked exactly like I had imagined. They also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which made planning even easier and more seamless. Our fall wedding was truly magical. The venue is breathtaking, and our guests loved exploring the grounds and meeting the animals. Every single aspect of the day ran flawlessly, and I could not have asked for a more perfect experience.

Sugarneck 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Sanford, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,200

Sugarneck is rumored to have gotten its name by the bootleggers traveling along the Cape Fear River as a code word for the place where they would pick up their moonshine. Sugarneck reaches back long before smartphones and social media, back to a time when the only way to send a message was by writing a letter and sending it in the mail. One of the earliest U.S. Post Offices in North Carolina still stands strong today. It was a community where people gathered, shared news and good times. Built in 1874, the renovated original Cabin structure serves as a unique visual reminder of those simpler times. The Cabin and the Post Office are on the National Register of Historic Places. The vast scenic views of the North Carolina countryside along with the grandness of our 150 year old Oak trees do not go unnoticed, and at night, the stars light up the sky. Today, there is an unexpected immersive experience that brings history, nature and modern elegance together in total privacy.

Why you'll love this venue

  • All-inclusive venue packages
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • On-site parking not available
We had our wedding at Sugarneck in May. The venue alone is stunning, incredibly well taken care of and immaculately clean. Add to that the dedication of Alicia and her team to plan and execute the most magical, flawless day - I wish I could give 10 stars! We chose Sugarneck because of its location and extremely reasonably priced packages. It truly took the stress out of the day as Alicia was always on top of any questions/concerns I had and brought my ideas to life in all areas. Despite a downpour after the ceremony, the day was flawless and the team worked so hard, always while providing top notch service to all our guests. The only thing I wish I had known ahead of time was the difficultly in guests getting Ubers after the event, while there was a shuttle bus that showed up that transported people, had I known, I would have either paid for it or given people a heads up as it was a little pricey. We spent the whole weekend there including hosting the rehearsal dinner which in itself was a fabulous time. We really felt like part of the family there and not just ‘renting the property’. We would not have asked for a more perfect venue and team to help us with our special day.

Certified through the New York Institute of Art and Design, she approaches each wedding with equal parts structure and heart. She believes exceptional design should feel intentional, personal, and layered, and that flawless execution is what allows a couple to be fully present.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We needed a planner that knows how to stand on business and deal with logistics for a ginormous crowd (300), but also be someone that can vibe with us because they'll be dealing with all our shenanigans during the planning process on the day of the wedding. We went through a handful of wedding planner consultations before we met with Carina and after meeting her - it was definitely wedding-planner-love at first sight! And it was the best decision we made! During the year long planning process, Carina was able to lay out the whole process so we never felt rushed. She also designed our whole wedding beautifully, because neither I nor my now husband have a single artistic bone in our body. Aside from her impeccable planning skills, she is just a delightful person to be around who sincerely just loves what she does and bringing her couples vision to life (while staying reasonably under budget). She took what is usually a stressful process and made it as fun as you can make wedding planning. My now husband and I didn't think there was any way we could have our 300 Vietnamese wedding without any major bumps (just due to the sheer number of people), but thanks to Carina and her wedding magic, we had the most beautiful perfect day! We couldn't have had our perfect day without her!

As one of the bridesmaids, I was blown away by how attentive they were. They made sure to capture all the silly little moments we had while getting ready. The photos show our genuine laughter and all the excitement of the morning. The video even had clips of us helping the bride with her dress and it made me cry when I saw it. They were super patient with our group (we can be chatty and distracted) but still kept everything moving smoothly. I love that they treated the bridal party as important, not just background. Everything feels authentic, not forced. I’m so glad my best friend will have these memories forever.

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything.

The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

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.

  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Sanford, 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.

Spencer (Samson) was the absolute BEST!! He really kept our reception moving and people out on the dance floor. He even got out there himself to keep the energy high. Our Photo Booth attendant was great as well. He made sure people were having fun and we got some really great pictures. From the moment we met Spencer almost an entire year before our wedding we never hesitated he was the right choice. Stylus was perfect and so accommodating when we did things like move our last dance down to the dock (which then ended up having to be on the back patio) and setting up quickly for our sparkler exit and had the perfect songs playing along the way. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing without this team!

Marlon and his team are awesome! Start to finish everything was great. He does all the things you expect out of a videographer at baseline (setting up timelines with you, finding good shots beforehand at the venue, making you feel comfortable), and excels at the things you want him to. Always out of the way but somehow managed to get the perfect videos and angles. Pulling you out only at the perfect moments when there are lulls, or when he has an insane golden hour shot to take (the one of my wife and I running through a field is one of the highlights of our wedding video). I would definitely recommend Marlon, even to people who haven't decided on a wedding video, because when you receive it, or you look through his catalog of wedding videos, it captures the day in ways the pictures just couldn't, especially for us. 10/10 Highly Recommend

We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!

Kayelily is a true professional!  From the first time meeting with her, throughout the entire process - Kayelily made sure that our wedding ceremony was very “us”.  She went above and beyond in her duties as the officiant and I couldn’t recommend someone more to be part of your big day.  Kayelily came prepared with handkerchiefs and wiped tears away during the ceremony.  We had a brief audio issue and she handled the entire situation with ease!   All of our guests commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was.  It truly set the tone for the rest of the evening.  Truly can’t thank her enough for being part of our life moment!  We are very grateful she was recommended to us and cannot stress how amazing she is! Cheers!

We got married April 10, 2026 with Matt. Matt was an amazing officiant. He was prompt, detailed, and attentive from the very start. He listened to our wishes and took them all to heart. He made a beautiful speech that was exactly what we wanted and needed it to be! I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a funny, reliable, and down to earth officiant. He made us feel like we’d known him for years! My husband and I are highly satisfied with his services!!!

From the moment we booked The Photobrief, LLC, their communication style was professional, proactive, and reassuring. Melissa's calming nature made me feel at ease on a day I expected to be stressed. The quality of their work was unreal - the photos are simply stunning and breathtaking. Melissa was so efficient with the formal family photos that we were able to enjoy our cocktail hour and mingle with our guests, which was very important to us. The Photobrief, LLC truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and stress-free. We could not be happier with their services and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photography team.

My wife and I had the greatest experience getting married here at The Upchurch! The venue team was spectacular getting the day set up and running. All of our guests said the venue was beautiful, and it was amazing to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the same location. We loved the wooded area for our first look. We were lucky enough to have Hannah as our day of coordinator and planner. She was amazing and was able to handle anything that came up for us that day!

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!
