We worked with Active Entertainment for our wedding at 128 South, and our DJ Shawn was absolutely incredible. He handled everything—ceremony music, mics for the officiant and readings, cocktail hour, dancing, lighting, and MCing—and did it all flawlessly. Shawn totally understood our vibe. He followed our must-play and do-not-play lists to a tee and added his own creative touches and fun mixes that fit perfectly. He kept the energy up all night. The dance floor was packed the entire time—people didn’t want to leave! Our friends & family are still talking about how amazing the music was. There were so many special moments, but one standout was that Shawn filmed our private last dance and sent it to us after the wedding. It was such a thoughtful surprise and something we’ll treasure forever. We can’t recommend Active Entertainment enough. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and our day would not have been as amazing without Shawn!

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

We used Misty Lynn for our wedding photography on 4/30/26 at Belle Vue Wilmington, and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures. From the very first time I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and generous—she even offered referrals for other vendors we still needed. As the wedding got closer, she checked in to confirm details and arrival time, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, she made a point to make eye contact with me as soon as she arrived so I knew she was there and getting set up. I’ve never enjoyed taking pictures, but Misty’s fun, laid‑back vibe made the entire experience surprisingly enjoyable. We were told to expect about a two‑month turnaround, but we received our full gallery earlier than expected—and she even sent sneak peeks later that same night. The value of what we received for the price was phenomenal. I highly recommend Misty to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and truly wonderful to work with.

From day one, his communication was fun and energetic, and he really took the time to get to know us through FaceTime calls before the big day. He'd ask us real-life examples of our love story so he could weave them into the ceremony in a way that felt genuine and heartfelt. Kevin puts his heart and soul into his work, and it showed in every word he spoke during our ceremony. We're still friends with him to this day and keep up with each other, which says everything about the kind of person he is.

We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

From start to finish, her professionalism was unmatched—she was organized, detail-oriented, and handled every aspect of the planning process with confidence and grace. Her communication was excellent throughout. She was always responsive, clear, and proactive, which gave us such peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time. We always felt informed and supported every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond what I expected! Most importantly, the quality of her work was truly exceptional. She brought our daughter’s vision to life beautifully, managing every detail seamlessly so that the entire weekend felt effortless and special. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We are beyond grateful for her dedication and talent, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding planner. When the time comes for my sons to marry, I will be recommending Chris to their fiances. It was so hard to let go of what I called a "fast and fun friendship"! - Mother of the Bride
