We offer wedding tasting boxes, work from your inspiration images, and handle delivery and setup at your venue.

“Raleigh Cakes made the very unfamiliar process of creating a custom cake of this magnitude smooth and easy. The team was prompt and helpful whenever I reached out with questions or ideas about my cake design. I had a vision in mind, and they worked patiently with me to bring it to into being- exactly as I'd imagined. On the day of our wedding, the delivery was flawless and the cake was a showstopper. The flavor of the cake was spot on, and was very popular. The personalized attention they gave us really showed; I cannot recommend Raleigh Cakes enough to future couples looking for a dessert vendor to create their vision.”

“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”

“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.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Buck Naked Farm! The flowers for our fall wedding were stunning. I loved colorful dahlias. They perfectly complemented our barn wedding venue and the colors just popped against the bridesmaid dresses. Jennifer took the time to get to know us and added small details that reflected us —like tucking in blooms that were my grandmother’s favorite flower. It made the arrangements feel so special. She even custom grew the most amazing colored sunflowers for us! The entire process was seamless, She communicated clearly and often so I knew everything was covered. If you’re a bride who wants something different than run-of-the-mill flowers, Buck Naked Farm is IT.”

She works her magic with incredible artistry, innovation, and creativity, and she has a true gift for making you look and feel your absolute best. What impressed me most was that she created two completely different looks for me, each perfectly suited to the occasion. I felt absolutely gorgeous both times. My makeup photographed beautifully, lasted flawlessly throughout each event, and I never once had to worry about it. I will absolutely use Theresa again for future special occasions and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a truly high-end makeup artist. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and absolutely worth it!”

BUILT FOR COUPLES WHO'D RATHER DIE THAN DO THE CHICKEN DANCE A hand-picked roster of pro DJs matched to your vibe, not an agency that sends whoever’s free. Real mixing, cinematic lighting, and a dance floor that stays packed until last call. Serving Raleigh and all of North Carolina.

“We had such a great experience with Justin from start to finish! From the very beginning of the planning process, he really took the time to listen to what we wanted and understand the vibe we were going for. He was also incredibly helpful in guiding us through the areas we weren’t quite sure about, which made the planning process so much easier. The music was amazing, and our guests were on the dance floor all night long! He did such a great job reading the room and keeping the energy going without ever feeling forced. We truly feel like he played a huge part in making our reception such a fun and memorable night. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning their wedding!”

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“What stood out most was how she captured the in-between moments. The photos felt emotional and real, not staged. Looking through our gallery honestly felt like reliving that season of our relationship.”
