I used A Rae of Light for my June 9 wedding and she was wonderful! I hired her partial planning service and it ended up being exactly what I needed, as a fairly self-driven type A bride who did not live in the city (Birmingham) where my wedding was happening. Raven served as essential eyes and ears throughout the process. She had great recommendations for venues and vendors, and was able to use her connections to get some discounts and deals for us, which as a budget-conscious bride I really appreciated!!! She also gave us a great recommendation for our afterparty, and was extremely patient as I went back-and-forth on whether to implement our heat plan (ended up going with our Plan A and it was beautiful!). Most importantly, she communicated well with us and helped implement our vision for what we wanted for the wedding rather than imposing her ideas. The wedding day was amazingly stress-free and it was all because of her! I highly highly recommend working with her!

My husband and I were very particular with our wedding venue choice and we could not be happier. As wedding photographers and videographers ourselves, we could not recommend a better option to any couples looking. Not only is the venue itself beautiful and peaceful, but hiring the manager Amanda to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. When we were on the hunt for a venue, our priority was to find a safe space for our wedding party, friends, and family belonging to the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. We did not want any person feeling unsafe or singled out on our wedding day. Having this confirmed and reassured that the venue and Amanda were inclusive made everyone’s experience phenomenal. In addition to this, it was difficult finding a place that wasn’t rustic or a barn. Many of the locations that aren’t barns also didn’t fit our vibe or they were unaffordable. For this venue, you get the best of both worlds: an elegant location that also feels like home, all while being affordable with excellent payment plans available. We received so many compliments on this location from so many different people. Whether it was the elderly family members or young friends, everyone was so impressed with the space and amazed by the ballroom for the reception. The layout of the space made it so easy for a seamless day. Amanda provided insight and assistance for everything we needed and our vendors loved her. Our wedding gallery could not be more perfect, because of this space and her hard work. This is now the top venue that we recommend to our couples! We are excited to continue to come back to capture more love stories at Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom and maintain a connection with Amanda for future couples.

I used this restaurant for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding in November 2025 and it was perfect. They had great communication and were willing to let us order from the entire menu when we kept our party below 20 people and chose our appetizers ahead of schedule. The waitresses were so kind and attentive, all the food tasted great, and the space we got to use was sectioned off and private (with a big enough screen to show the Alabama game of course), perfect for a rehearsal dinner! I would highly recommend using the Culinary Dropout for any dinner event.

Hii!!! I am so glad you found me!! A little about me, I am a newlywed, singer songwriter, and professional hair and makeup artist! I absolutely LOVE what I do, to see my brides light up on their special days is the best feeling!! I am always so honored to be a part of someone’s best day and am so blessed this is my Job!

Y’all, I can’t recommend Jorja enough! She’s is truly a joy to work with. She made me feel like an absolute queen on my big day! She was able to do my hairmakeup, 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL. The girl WORKS while shining the brightest light to others around her!

I’m Coco Moore, a highly sought out Luxury Makeup Artist at Coco Moore Makeup Artistry & the owner of The Beauty Room 205, located in Birmingham, Al. I started my self taught journey into makeup by doing makeup on one of my closest friends to help her through a rough patch in life, and soon after it became something like therapy to have the outlet that makeup artistry was for me. My warm personality, zest for life & and positive energy is incredibly contagious, and helps me to leave an impression on the lives of every client who sits in my chair.

She’s very professional and I absolutely love her work. She’s so amazing to work with. She does my makeup for every event and birthdays for me. I been going to her for about 4 years now.
