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!

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.

I honestly don't even know where to begin. Carina is hands-down one of the most thoughtful, kind, hard-working, enjoyable, and creative people I have ever met. She handled every single thing with poise and grace. Every wedding plan changes, or has hiccups but frankly I never had to feel those because Carina just handled it with such calm and supportive energy that I didn't even have time to worry about anything at all. I think one of the most unique things about Carina is how she puts her EVERYTHING into making your vision come true. She sat down and HAND-WROTE every single name card (200!!!) because I liked an idea she had. She showed up to my rehearsal dinner with a bouquet for me that she stopped and made herself just so I could have something for that night. Day of was no different, honestly it was almost sad because I knew I wouldn't get to have my fun meetings with her anymore (luckily we are now good friends so I get to do that either way!!) I recommend Carina for your wedding if you want someone to create a vision, to be kind and thoughtful, to listen and show up to every appointment and to put her entire heart into making sure your vision comes to fruition.

I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!

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.

Once we saw our engagement shoot pictures, I knew we had made the right decision in selecting someone to capture our special day! Megan helped us develop a timeline and prioritize elements and details of our wedding that were most important for us to capture. Our whole wedding day, I felt very comfortable and confident- I knew Megan understood our vision. She was very accommodating, making sure to capture what was important to us. Again, she made being in front of the camera feel effortless. I am blown away with the sneak peek pictures we got back. She absolutely captured our vision, our guests, and my husband and I perfectly.

You can really tell he cares about his couples by his attention to detail, promptness in answering emails, and giving good advice. Second, he seamlessly executed our wedding music from start to finish - from ceremony through keeping the dance floor packed! We had rave reviews on how fun our wedding was and a huge part of that is owed to Randy. Third, Randy is highly recommended by other premier wedding vendors in the area. This should speak for itself. These vendors know who is worth booking and who they want to work with as well. Do yourself and your wedding a favor and book Randy with BunnDJ!

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

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.

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The Victorian in July 2023, and we cannot say enough praise about this venue. From the moment Brian gave us a tour, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is full of charm and intimacy, which made us certain we’d feel surrounded by our loved ones all day and evening. We loved the ability to get ready in the gorgeous bridal suite filled with natural light, have our ceremony outside under the gorgeous Magnolia Tree, have a cocktail hour on the wrap-around porch and bottom floor of the house, and have a reception on the back patio. Every space was utilized, and the flow made our day a dream. The day didn't feel like three separate events. It felt seamless and as if it was one big day of celebration and love! We wholeheartedly recommend The Victorian as a wedding venue! The staff’s exceptional service, attention to detail, and the overall charm of the venue made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I personally also enjoy eating at Sassool and find myself eating there at least once a week. The food is always absolutely delicious, fresh, and wonderful quality. Everyone that I come in contact with at Sassool is always so polite and professional. I also love the fact that they are a locally owned restaurant and feel great about supporting a local business.

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe Eland Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding day. From the first moment we spoke with Blythe, she was so easy and pleasant to communicate with - she knew exactly what she was doing so we could just show up and she would handle everything with grace and ease. Blythe was incredible throughout the entire process, and we were so happy with our experience shooting with her. She was so helpful and on top of everything, and managed to capture exactly what we wanted while also adding her own beautiful artistic flair. We couldn't believe how amazing the photos turned out - Blythe has such a compassionate, wholesome, and genuine approach that is truly reflected in the outstanding quality of her work. We are so grateful to Blythe for helping make our special day even more perfect.

We worked with Chris for our engagement photos and all of the photos he delivered were amazing! Even better, he was so fun to work with, he had a clear vision for each photo, and each photo location. He clearly had put a lot of thought into the photos before we met up. He was also so funny and encouraging, it made what we thought would be an awkward experience, a fun afternoon. We can't wait to work with him for our wedding this fall! I would absolutely recommend Chris as a wedding photographer.

I am a stay-at-home mom of three who loves flowers. Growing up on my family farm I foraged flowers and foliage to make arrangements for friends and neighbors. I love dreaming about weddings with brides and designing lovely arrangements out of stunning local flowers. Flowers are so gorgeous on their own, it is a delight to work with them. My dream of having my own flower farm is finally a reality! When you book me, your flowers will be unique and fully local, from my farm and other local farms. I especially enjoy using seasonal flowers because they lend their own character to the finished designs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Camille did the flowers for our wedding shower and wedding and we couldn't have been happier with them! She was a joy to work with throughout the planning process, and found a way to source our flowers in a way that made it much more manageable budget-wise.

Amanda and Todd truly made our wedding memorable. All the guests commented on how beautiful their property is. Very professional and easy to work! We toured eight venues before my husband came across their venue and it was a fantastic decision. They have so many options for where you want your ceremony to be held. Fortunately we had perfect weather, but their venue has the best back-up plan to hold a beautiful ceremony indoors if you need to or want to!

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.

I worked with Coby at a fall wedding in Raleigh, and she was a dream photographer for my client. She spent several months before the wedding helping myself and my client prepare for their wedding, which made wedding photography the day of extremely smooth. From the first moment of inquiry to well beyond the final delivery of the wedding gallery, she made the whole wedding planning process a team event.

I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!
