Hi Sarah and Natalie, I wanted to take a moment to truly thank you both for the incredible job you did on my hair and makeup, as well as for my mom and mother-in-law. You both exceeded my expectations, and the makeup stayed flawless all night! You were both such a joy to work with. We laughed and chatted throughout the entire process, and it made the whole experience so much fun. Sarah, I cannot thank you enough for how you went above and beyond to help my family during a difficult situation. You were so calm, kind, and supportive while still making sure I was ready on time—it really felt like having a friend by my side. Your work was impeccable. Sarah, I especially appreciated how you listened to my feedback and communicated with me throughout the day to make sure I was satisfied.

Gastonia, NC
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christan has such a positive and fun energy. We are so happy we chose Christan to be our photographer! We got our sneak peeks so fast which was a highlight to end our night! Her work stays consistent and what we saw on her website is what we received with our gallery. She worked her magic with our Florida heat and gave us beautiful photos we will cherish forever. If I could've I would have had her with us for longer hehe! On your wedding day your photographer is with you all day so you want to make sure you have someone with good, fun (and professional at the same time) kind of energy and that was In Bloom Photography!

Gastonia, NC
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $300

A&J Sweetz is owned by Asja Cloud and based right outside of Charlotte, NC. She got the idea to start the business back in 2013 during a discussion with a close friend about finding and chasing passions. When they heard that Asja's passion has always been baking delicious treats for their friends and family, they suggested that she move things to a bigger scale and pursue it full-time. Ever since, A&J Sweetz has grown bigger than either she has ever imagined!

I would recommend A and J Sweetz to anyone needing a wedding cake. Everything was great from the tasting to seeing the cake set up on my wedding day. I loved the vintage icing style and that's exactly what I got. Not to mention the cake tasted amazing. Many wedding I've been to where the cake looked amazing but did not taste great, but this is not their style. The cake looked and tasted amazing and the guests couldn't get enough of it either. You can't go wrong with A and J Sweetz.

  • Starts at $375

Hey, I'm Savannah! I am a NC girl with big city dreams. My passion for all things beauty began when I went to Cosmetology school. I began to work with talented makeup artists and hairstylists at Wedding venues and fell in LOVE with the vibe and artistry of special event styling. ​

I wish i could get married every weekend, just so i could be with Savannah every weekend! She and the team that she brought were all incredible women who were great at what they did. My bridal party consisted of 2 mothers, 6 bridesmaids, myself, and three flower girls. That is a lot of hair and makeup to do! And they all crushed it. I was very clear with Savannah from the start that some of my bridesmaids had a lot of hair, as did I, and that the time to do it might be longer. She took that into consideration, and was very clear about what time we would need to start in the morning to be ready on time. And not only were we ready on time, but my bridesmaids had ample time to laugh, hang out, bond, and enjoy the day. The care and time that Savannah put into making sure every persons hair and makeup was exactly how they wanted it meant the world to me. She is a wonderful human, and spending my wedding morning with her was the best! Her energy made everyone smile. When it comes to my hair, I am nearly speechless. I wanted a party pony, and she gave me a PaRtY pOnY! It held up all night, and only had three Bobby pins in it! It was painless, timeless, and held all night. Thank you, Savannah, for your time, bright energy, and MUA and hair styling abilities. I felt like the Princess of Ginovia on my wedding day because of you.

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!

The Famous Experience

  • Serves Gastonia, NC

The Famous Experience isn't a DJ booth in the corner, it's the reason your guests never sit down. We bring the energy of the best night out you've ever had to your wedding day, run with the precision of a luxury event. We don't just play songs, we read the room, tailor every playlist to your crowd, and tell your story through music. We start by listening: your must-plays, your never-plays, and the exact vibe you're chasing. Then we build the night around it. Let's plan the one they never stop talking about.

I love working with Travis! He keeps the dance floor packed! He interacts with the crowd. He is also very personable and always wanting to connect.

Unveiled Weddings Media was an absolute delight to work with on our wedding day. Musaab and his team were passionate, clear, and professional throughout the entire process. Their work is truly polished, creative and "thumb-stopping" - the 10-minute cinematic piece as well as the fun teasers they created captured every moment I requested and brought my vision to life in the most beautiful way.

Sofya was so great to work with! She was responsive, kind, and executed the vision I had for my wedding beautifully. What really stood out, though, was how flexible and supportive she was when everything unexpectedly changed. My original venue canceled our wedding, and I was completely panicking, trying to replan everything. Sofya not only reassured me that she’d still be there, she actually jumped in to help, even recommending a few vendors (including the venue I ended up choosing!). She stuck by me through a full change of venue and wedding date, and handled it so well. Her flowers were stunning, and I’m grateful for her calm presence during such a stressful time. I definitely recommend hiring Sofya, you won’t regret it!

The Abbey Salisbury was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we inquired, they were extremely responsive and helpful, often getting back to us within minutes. The space itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with a great indoor and outdoor flow. The team there really went above and beyond, helping us plan every detail of our wedding day in the 30 days leading up to the event. On the day, they made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend their deluxe package - it was well worth staying the entire weekend there. The Abbey Salisbury made our special day perfect, and I cannot recommend them enough!
