Joey's DJ Service

Durham, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way! We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There's the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

Vidr Photography was amazing to work with for our summer wedding! Stephanie was easy going and understanding of our wedding style (small size, games, karaoke, casual food/drinks) and the types of candid photos we were hoping for. She took some of my absolute favorite pictures from our wedding day and got them back to us in a very reasonable amount of time. I love that she not only got great images of the people and activities we completed but also of the venue! I'm glad I'll have these pictures to look back on forever. I will definitely be hiring Vidr Photography again for my May (2021) Ph.D. graduation photos!

Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

The spunky and energetic photographer over here! I like warm hugs (if you get that Disney reference then we’re def going to be fast friends), am constantly on the lookout for the best chai, and shout “shit biscuits” just a little too often. I’m here to help guide my fun-loving, nerdy couples through the wedding planning process and offer expletive laden compliments when they inevitably kill it at their session. Most importantly though I will celebrate this exciting time in your life with you while becoming a dear friend for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ariel Kaitlin Photography does not disappoint! I searched high and low for a wedding photographer that I liked and was within my budget. Let me preface my review with saying, "you get what you pay for." I, without a doubt, hit the jackpot with Ariel. Ariel and Alex were the dynamic duo of my dreams AND MORE. While posing for photos can be a bit awkward and stiff, Ariel and Alex make it FUN and make you loosen up and ditch the nerves on your wedding day. Ariel went above and beyond to capture 'the shot' on my wedding day... She stood on a porch banister and crouched in a bush to get what she needed. I know she will do this for all of her couples, even though I want to believe she did this only for me. Ariel has an eye for details, light, and capturing what is real, authentic and stunning. She makes her couples feel seen, and makes friends with her couples, so the couple can enjoy those special moments and ultimately, their special day. Her organization skills and attention to details are impeccable and she honestly kept everyone else on track on the wedding day, and let me say this... THIS MATTERS SO MUCH since time does fly on your big day. I don't remember much about my other vendors, (as a couple, you spend the most face time with your photographers) but I do remember my photographers and I consider myself lucky to have found and booked Ariel, and even luckier now that I've convinced them to stay friends with me and my husband. So with all that said, if you're looking for a personable, fun, photographer, who delivers stunning photos that you'll cherish forever LOOK NO FURTHER. Book with Ariel, you can thank me later!

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

We’ve had the pleasure of being guests at a wedding for which Alex was the DJ, as well as having him DJ our wedding! Both were an absolute blast. Incredible value for the experience and everything included. Alex did music, microphones, and lights for our ceremony and reception. From when we first reached out, everything was incredibly easy, and we never had any doubt Alex had all our needs covered. He listened well to our vision for the day and fulfilled it perfectly, along with filling in any gaps to match our vibe for the portions of the day where we didn’t have specific music requests. He was a great MC, and everything flowed smoothly all day with no hiccups. We wanted our reception to be an energetic dance party, and that’s exactly what we got! The dance floor was packed the entire night. We’re still getting comments about how much fun people had at our wedding which brings us so much joy!

Amy Ellis Photography

Durham, NC
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Inspired by everyday colors and life's subtle details, I love to add my own personal twist to the makeup looks I create. I am a North Carolina based Bridal Makeup Artist, however. I travel worldwide to provide makeup services to my brides. I consider myself to be the bride's makeup artist. Brides hire me to create the precise bridal makeup look that they have envisioned their entire lives.

Hello Tiwa, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Your skill and artistry not only made me feel incredibly beautiful but also played a significant role in making my day truly special. From the moment I sat in your chair until the final brushstroke, you exhibited a level of professionalism and creativity that left me in awe. Your attention to detail and your ability to enhance my natural beauty while still making me feel like myself were truly remarkable. More than just the makeup, your presence and calming demeanor throughout the wedding preparations were a source of comfort and reassurance for me. You helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during a day that can sometimes be filled with nerves and excitement. You went above and beyond in making me feel and look my best, and I am immensely grateful for your talent and dedication. Your work not only made me feel confident but also contributed significantly to the overall beauty and magic of the day. Thank you for being a part of one of the most important days of my life and for making it even more special. Your role was instrumental, and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Wishing you continued success in your career, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. I really would like to see you again as well, and hopefully we can set up a lunch date or just hang out, but you will forever be my go to for a makeover. I will be leaving reviews and tagging your business in all my posts, and I would love to review your services for other brides looking for MUA. With heartfelt thanks and warm regards, Donna Porch

I’m Tammy Jean Lamoureux, artist, partner, mother, photographer. In the twenty years that I’ve been taking pictures, photography has been my tool for seeing beauty in the everyday. My hope is to document the biggest moments of people’s lives while also illuminating those small moments of magic that hide in plain sight. The poetry of life is everywhere, and I try to create honest, heartfelt photographs that help us carry a little of that beauty along with us. I believe in the joy of improvisation, the tenderness in awkward moments, and photographs as time machines. Your moments are so precious. I’d be honored to document them.

It's not an exaggeration to say that working with Tammy was everything we wanted and more. While Tammy's work speaks for itself, her talents go far beyond the gorgeous photographs. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and listened to. She captured and memorialized priceless moments we never thought we would get to experience again. Working with her was a joy and a total vibe. We cannot recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Amy, the founder of Poppy Belle Design (PBD). You may remember me as the owner of Knots ‘N Such (KNS) back in my wedding planning days. Historically I did both the beautiful and logistical sides, but I eventually realized that design has always been the object of my affection. (Insert heart eyes here) So I eliminated my planning services (RIP) to make more time for event and floral design.

Absolutely wonderful! I worked with Amy, the owner of Poppy Belle, and could not have been happier. She was so attentive, detail oriented, and just a joy to work with. Great communication during the planning process, and my florals turned out so beautifully. 100% recommend.

My name is Jen and I'm the owner of Southern Skies. The name comes from my love of seeing the NC stars on a clear night with its calmness and unfiltered beauty. I've been planning events since I was 16 and been planning professionally since 2014. My goal for Southern Skies is to plan beautiful weddings for amazing couples, help take their stress away and do it with kindness. I'm a true believer that love is love and life is a celebration that always calls for a glass of bubbly! When I'm not planning weddings, you can find me at my laptop with a glass of red wine, brunching with friends or exploring the world.

We found Southern Skies through a friend’s recommendation and we couldn’t have been happier. We worked with Jen and her assistant Laura. They designed a beautiful wedding full of personal details that we never would have thought of - like having a gelato cart for dessert as a nod to Rome, where we met. Jen was very communicative throughout the entire planning process with e-mail updates, answering our questions, and having virtual and in-person meetings. We were planning remotely and could not have pulled this off without Jen and her team. They helped connect us with our fantastic team of vendors, many of whom we probably would not have found without their help.

Our home salon is in Durham, NC and is available for service to brides who do not need us to prep them on site as well. We do not provide makeup services for clarification.

My wedding was extremely stressful because it happened in the middle of Covid. Ma'at and Lux Organics was one of the few aspects about my wedding that gave me peace of mind. She educated me, on hair styles, she was reliable, her communication was consistent, and her execution was perfect. My only regret was that I only took 90% of her suggestions when I should have taken 100%. She recommended microlinks considering my honey moon plans and I opted for her second recommendation for a partial sew in. I later tried microlinks and I wish I had went her first recommendation. But that's the one of the best things about her services whether you're a bride that likes control or a bride that needs someone to take stress away from decisions fatigue, she is going to deliver and allow you to feel good during the process. My Bridal party's hair was also impeccable and was done on an organized and timely manner. I recommend her 10x over. I stayed a client after my wedding and drive an hour to see her. She's just that good.

Dj Ty was nothing short of amazing. Very professional & cared about what WE wanted for our wedding. I love how he paid extra attention to detail in bringing out my New Orleans culture with music for our dances. He definitely kept the party going. Our guests were pleasantly pleased and enjoyed themself from beginning to end. We would highly recommend Dj Ty and his company if you’re looking for an active dj that will keep your event lit throughout!

Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor, music that matches your vibe & story, and a fun experience from a DJ that is there for you, from the first message to the last song of the night! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; let's make it easier for you. I match the music to your vibe, while reading the crowd, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, interacting with guests, and working with all the other vendors to keep the event running smooth. Check out my reviews to see what couples are saying. LGBTQ+ friendly; nothing but love here!

We couldn't be happier with Marty at our recent wedding! From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, his attention to detail is amazing -- he noticed a discrepancy between the couple introduction song that we had put in the Vibo app versus what our day of coordinator had on her wedding timeline. He then reached out to the day of coordinator to figure out which song was correct. He also took the time to understand what we were looking for for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. He reached out many times prior to our wedding to check in with us and make sure that all of our questions were answered. It was clear that he genuinely cares about providing a memorable experience. Marty is also flexible. Originally the plan was for our dance floor to be outside. However, due to a heat wave we ended up deciding to move the dance floor inside. Marty was able to easily accommodate this request and he also offered to put speakers outside so guests who were out on the deck would still be able to hear the music. We also recommend going with the up-lighting. He did a great job setting up the lights. The lights actually change colors and really change the vibe of the reception room once the party gets started! The live music he delivered during cocktail hour was a standout of the night. We had so many compliments from guests about his cocktail hour performance. Another aspect that truly set Marty apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did he do a great job reading the vibe of the room in order to keep the dance floor lively, but at one point he also helped with cleaning up dinner plates. He showed a level of dedication and professionalism that's rare to find. Marty played a crucial role in making our wedding a success. We highly recommend him for any occasion!

Without Carina in my corner through the planning process our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was. She truly stands by your side (and some times in front of you) pulling you to the finish line of the best day of your life. I did not have family local and planned a wedding that was 2 hours from my current place of residence and she filled in any and every gap needed to make sure I was happy with everything. Her and her team go above and beyond and I am so thankful that I found her.
