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!”

Hey there! I’m an outgoing & fun boutique wedding DJ that works with a limited number of couples to fully customize the vibe of the wedding day to your style & personality, and help guests have more fun than they planned on, until the very last song! As a DJ, host, & party producer I guide you through the wedding music to make the entire process easy, delivering an engaging wedding experience through crowd interaction (no awkward moments ever), full music curation, and immersive sound & full-room lighting design. Plus, your guests might just think you hired Pitbull ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? Marty is just the best. Planning a wedding by myself was very stressful. I am from a Persian background, and I wanted to have an American wedding while also implementing my culture. From the moment that I spoke with Marty, I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He has a calming and reassuring energy that not only assured me we could get any type of music we like, but he helped me plan my entire timeline. Every single time I had a concern, he would have a solution. He used an app that allowed me to add the music I wanted, including Persian music. At our walk-through, he worked with our other vendors to make sure the layout was perfect for us on our wedding day. Then finally on the wedding day we got to see how great he really is. He was checking in and helping keep us on schedule. When we got to the dance floor he mixed Persian music with American songs so perfectly that there was not a single person sitting down. It was so awesome seeing all of my relatives and all of my husband’s family dance together. And there is no way this could have been possible without Marty Nightengale! Everybody loved him, and I would hire him again and again and again.

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
I wish there was a way to express our 100% satisfaction and gratitude beyond just a 5-star review. Choosing Carina as our wedding planner was the BEST decision we made at the beginning of our planning process. From the first conversation, we could tell she was passionate about and dedicated to making our wedding the best day ever, and it didn’t hurt that she was making us laugh along the way too :) Overall, she gave us an amazing experience, and we’re even more thankful to have gained a lifelong friend along the way. Hurricane Helene hit WNC 2 weeks before our wedding date in 2024. Once she broke the news that we would not be able to host our dream wedding in Asheville, she offered so much support and put in an insane amount of effort to help us come up with a plan B. Not only did she re-plan our ceremony and dinner in a different city in less than 10 days, but she also traveled to Atlanta to coordinate what ended up being a beautiful, memorable, and very special day. And if that was not enough, Carina stuck with us for another entire year to make sure our dream wedding was made a reality. In 2025, we were able to renew our vows at the original venue in Asheville, then party the night away the way we had imagined. All this would not have been possible without Carina’s immense dedication. We’re so thankful to Carina for sticking with us through the hardest days and delivering not one, but two of the best days of our lives. Literally cannot express our happiness, satisfaction, and love for Carina enough!! 3 You will not regret booking Raleigh Weddings for your special day! In fact, you may regret NOT booking Raleigh Weddings. We love you Carina!!! Maybe we’ll throw a 3rd wedding just to continue working with you (JK, but maybe…) 3

My fiance (now husband) and I worked with Tara for partial planning from March 2024-June 2025. We spoke with Tara early in the planning process and immediately knew she was the perfect planner for us! For starters, Tara is possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. We could tell from our initial conversation that she knows her stuff - stuff we definitely would not have thought of or been prepared for. She answered every question we had throughout the planning process and helped us understand not only what would be the best decision for our guests, but what would help us keep our wedding authentic to us as a couple. When it looked like we would need to pivot on several things (umbrellas, rain plan, etc.) the week/day of our wedding, Tara kept us informed and kept us calm. From the first phone call we had with her to our grand exit, Tara handled everything with grace and ease. To put it plainly, Tara was the perfect fit for our wedding in every way. Working with Tara was by far the best decision we made throughout wedding planning. We are so grateful to her and the rest of the Premier Party Planners team for executing the best day of our lives. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you do. If you think you want anyone other than Tara and Premier Party Planners, you don't!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Bunn DJ Company Virginia to DJ our 150-guest wedding. Frank was our DJ, and he did a wonderful job all day helping us to curate several different vibes for different parts of the evening. The online tools from Bunn DJ made curating and sharing a playlist of our favorite songs as well as what songs to use where (first dance, wedding party introductions, last dance, etc) a breeze as well as very user friendly. Frank was a great MC, and got 150 guests wrangled to several different rooms throughout the night between cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing (all in different parts of our venue)! He did a great job balancing songs for different age groups as well as when to let songs play out longer or mix into the next song more quickly if the crowd was not into it. He is a big reason our dance floor was packed all night long! We were very happy with Bunn DJ Company Virginia’s services and specifically Frank’s skill as a DJ. Also, if it is within your budget, get the club cannons. Firing those off on our dancefloor was pure electricity for the energy on the dancefloor!

Every wedding tells a story, and I believe the flowers should feel just as personal. As a NC native and Pittsboro farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers I design with, pairing the best of each season with your style, color palette, values and the details that matter most to you. Whether it's a favorite color, a cherished family memory or simply the feeling you want your guests to remember, I love translating those ideas into flowers that feel aligned with you. You don't need to know flower names or what's in bloom. That's where I come in. I guide you through the process, creating flowers that are beautiful, seasonal and very you.

cannot recommend Buck Naked Farm enough for your wedding flowers! From the very first consultation, they made the entire process so easy and personal. I wanted flowers that felt fresh, natural, and unique—nothing cookie-cutter—and they delivered beyond my expectations. The bouquets and centerpieces were stunning, filled with seasonal blooms grown on their farm in Pittsboro. You could *feel* the care and love that went into every arrangement. The colors and overall design perfectly matched the relaxed, romantic vibe of our wedding. My guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the flowers were! What I loved most was knowing that everything was locally and sustainably grown—something that was really important to us. They even accommodated my vision while suggesting blooms like dahlias that I hadn’t thought of, making the arrangements even more magical. If you’re looking for wedding flowers that are truly one-of-a-kind and beautifully designed, they are the way to go. They’re perfect for couples who want gorgeous local florals with a personal touch. 10/10!

We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented.

I’ve been a Raleigh, NC local since 2014—by way of Chicago, by way of military brat, so, all over. With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction.. An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

I had a dream and spoke with Brighid about it one day with coffee, when the time came she made it happen! The most perfect photoshoot I could have ever imagined! She took my little idea and blew away the mold with what she created! I could NOT be happier with the results! She’s kind, funny, makes the session seamless and enjoyable. Even my husband had a GREAT time! If you need pictures, she IS the ONLY person you need to contact!

Theresa did an absolutely incredible job with make-up on my wedding day! She worked alone and was able to do make-up for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers all before it was time for photos! Not only that, but she did an incredible job and all 5 of us were so happy with the looks she gave us. From the beginning, I loved the way she highlighted someone's natural beauty with make-up. I loved the look she did for me because it was very natural, yet made me feel bridal and beautiful and put together! She prepped the skin beforehand and everything was very soothing and clean feeling! (I have very sensitive skin and was concerned about this, but it was no problem for her at all, and my skin felt so fresh and like it was glowing!). All of her make-up also felt very light and effortless - I could barely tell I was wearing make-up and the lashes also did not bother me. Also, I cried a majority of the day, and despite that fact the make-up lasted all throughout the day and night!! She was very kind all throughout the day, and made casual conversation with all of us - we all felt comfortable with her! I highly recommend Theresa for all your make-up needs on your wedding day, prom, or other event! She is wonderful! Thank you, Theresa, for everything!
