Hi couples! We are Mixers Company Bar Service and we set the BAR in bar service! I'm Paige and Adam is my husband, who you can usually find out in the yard or behind the bar with me. We have a lovely crew of professional bartenders with us, so no matter who is behind the bar for your big day, its sure to be nothing short of amazing!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a great time communicating with Rachel. She made sure we bought enough alcohol to last the night with suggestions on what all we should have with quantities. Drinks were definitely poured heavy, but made for a good time nonetheless. I will say the second bartender was taking shots with guests which we did not approve of. It would be one thing if they provided the alcohol, but all of it was our own and for us and the guests only. Overall, it was a good experience and everyone had a great time at the wedding!

Hi, I’m Caitlyn—the face behind the camera 🤍 I specialize in capturing genuine, love-filled moments you’ll cherish forever. Whether it’s a wedding day, growing family, or just because, I’m here to tell your story beautifully.

We absolutely loved our experience with Caitlyn R Photography! From the very beginning, Caitlyn was warm, friendly, responsive, and so easy to communicate with. She took the time to answer our questions, understand what we envisioned, and made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free. Her work is absolutely beautiful! She has such an eye for capturing genuine emotions, sweet little details, and those candid moments you don’t even realize are happening. Her photos feel natural, romantic, and full of emotion, and every image tells a piece of the story of the day. On the wedding day, Caitlyn was so much more than just our photographer. She helped keep things flowing, guided us through poses, made everyone feel comfortable, and brought such a fun and calming presence. She made sure the important moments were captured without ever making us feel rushed or like we were constantly posing for pictures. You can truly tell that Caitlyn cares about the couples and families she works with. She puts her heart into what she does, and it shows in both the experience she provides and the memories she captures. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Caitlyn R Photography over and over again! If you’re looking for someone who will not only capture beautiful photos but also genuinely care about your day, Caitlyn is your girl!

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Shannon S Clark Photography was the perfect choice for capturing our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Shannon's communication style was quick, intentional, and efficient - qualities that continued throughout our entire experience working with her. The quality of her work is simply exquisite, showcasing her immense talent and seasoned expertise. Shannon went out of her way to make sure everything was captured, even taking the time to learn the best locations to photograph within the Catholic church where our ceremony was held. She is genuinely passionate about ensuring your day is beautiful, seamless, and effortless, going above and beyond for her clients. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that perfectly preserve the memories of our special day.

From start to finish, property tour to the wedding weekend, we knew Serenity Ridge was special. Having accommodations and catering onsite provided us the opportunity to be present for our wedding weekend. The Serenity Ridge team was effortless to work with and their hospitality above and beyond. The setting was gorgeous, sunsets, mountains, thoughtful guest areas. Guests could not stop taking pictures and raving about the trails and the cozy cabins. The Hilltop House was ideal for hosting the smaller meals, along with hair and makeup before the wedding. The pavilion and built in bar worked perfectly for our cocktail hour and reception. We did put the vinyl sides down, but they did not impede the beautiful views in any way. There was plenty of room for a big dance floor. Every space we used was sparkling clean and free of clutter. Our weekend included a mostly Gluten-Free menu, and the Serenity Ridge team knocked it out of the park. Our guests were thrilled with the options but also the quality. Delicious – every single bite. No exaggeration. An all-Gluten Free cocktail hour, dessert bar and wedding cake did not disappoint anyone who wasn’t Gluten Free. I would not hesitate to recommend them and am already trying to come up with another family event so we can go back!

My name is Wioletta, but you can call me Viola. I am a professional photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina where I reside with my three children, partner, a Great Pyrenees dog and a Siamese cat. I have a degree in Visual Art, but I have been fascinated by photography since I was 14 years old. I moved to the United States from Poland when I was just 16. I created my first photography business in 2010 where I shot moody and aesthetic self-portraits that I later sold as prints. I also designed logos and CD covers for bands. I created my wedding business, Ethereal Moments Art, in 2018 and ever since it has continued to grow.

Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or celebration of any kind, Creekside Farm is the ideal setting. Our event was a smashing success, and much of that is thanks to Megan’s expertise. She is a true professional—detail-oriented, prompt, and incredibly organized. Every aspect of the venue was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on our guests and the celebration. We also chose to hire some of Megan’s event staff, and it was absolutely worth it. Having an experienced, capable team ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Megan wears many hats, and somehow she manages to excel in all of them. She is not just a venue owner—she is a dedicated partner in making events truly memorable. Her upbeat energy, professionalism, and passion for ensuring our event’s success made working with her an absolute pleasure.

Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue with natural beauty that won’t break the bank, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, owner or crew to work with!

We initially chose Elkin Creek Vineyard for its beautiful scenery and the symbolism of the creek meeting at the altar. We were blown away by the service and atmosphere the staff created. Elkin Creek Vineyard was the PERFECT site for our wedding. They helped make our dream day come true even as we experienced an unexpected downpour 15 minutes before the ceremony was to begin.

Hi, I'm Allison- a mom of two, huge animal lover (mom to six fur babies), and most importantly a hopeless romantic with a passion for capturing your love story and perfectly curating it. No really, I hand edit every single image until I feel like it is perfection while also taking a documentary style approach so nothing feels forced. I take a personal interest in your wedding day and aim to make it as stress free as possible. I want you to know you are in good hands and I will do whatever it takes to make your wedding dreams a reality.

Allison Wilson Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we spoke with Allison, we were impressed by her prompt, personable communication style. Her authentic, creative, and skilled approach produced truly memorable and thoughtful photos that captured the unique spirit of our special day. Allison went above and beyond, making my husband and I - who aren't big picture takers - feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We could not have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding. Allison's hard work and attention to detail ensured we have a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever.

Overlook Barn in Banner Elk was the wedding venue of our dreams! Set on Beech Mountain, the views — especially from Mary’s Meadow, where we had our ceremony — were absolutely breathtaking. The beautifully refurbished horse barn added the perfect rustic charm, and we were able to truly make the reception space our own with florals and personal touches. It’s a venue that can bring any vision to life. The day-of coordinators were phenomenal — incredibly professional, organized, and supportive. Even our wedding planner couldn’t stop praising how seamless and helpful they were throughout the entire day. One of the highlights was their recommended vendor list — every vendor we chose was top-tier. Our caterer was phenomenal, and our florist brought the space to life in the most stunning way. Guests are still telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended! There were no hidden fees, no surprises — just a clean, professional, and personalized experience from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend Overlook Barn to any couple looking for a dream wedding venue.

  • Serves Shelby, NC

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

We decided to hire Helen Joy for our elopement after she did our maternity shoot because she was so amazing to work with and everything was so easy and natural. On our day of elopement, the weather didn’t go according to plan and we ended up with foggy overcast lighting. I can’t tell you how amazing those photos came out despite the conditions, and she went along with everything on the fly with ease. She was able to capture the magic in the moments, foggy weather and location change included, and those photos capture our tender moments in a frame forever. I will cherish those til the end of our days. She takes shots so discretely and I had no idea she caught some of the beautiful moments that she did. I can’t say enough good things, we highly recommend Helen Joy for any photography you’re looking for!
