Wild Rock Farm was absolutely incredible! It is such a beautiful venue, and it was the perfect place for our wedding. We had around 60 guests, and the space felt just right—intimate, comfortable, and absolutely gorgeous. The accommodations were wonderful and made the entire weekend so much easier for us and our family. Everything was well cared for, clean, and welcoming. One of the biggest blessings was working with Diane, the venue coordinator. She was amazing from start to finish! She was kind, organized, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our day special. Her calm presence and attention to detail made the entire planning process and wedding day so much less stressful. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

We worked with the team at Salt & Light Event Planning for our wedding — they coordinated our event of 100 people. I cannot overstate how impressive and capable they were. Just the most professional, warm, friendly, and proactive team we could have wished for. They were especially great at communicating with us in the lead up to the event and along sure we had covered everything in advance. I would recommend them one thousand percent for a bride or event host who wants a team that honors the vision and has impeccable judgment when situations arise (as they always do!) on the fly.

They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure every detail was perfectly executed. Their support and calm presence made a huge difference, especially when I was nervous on the big day.

Sugarneck

Sanford, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,200

Sugarneck is rumored to have gotten its name by the bootleggers traveling along the Cape Fear River as a code word for the place where they would pick up their moonshine. Sugarneck reaches back long before smartphones and social media, back to a time when the only way to send a message was by writing a letter and sending it in the mail. One of the earliest U.S. Post Offices in North Carolina still stands strong today. It was a community where people gathered, shared news and good times. Built in 1874, the renovated original Cabin structure serves as a unique visual reminder of those simpler times. The Cabin and the Post Office are on the National Register of Historic Places. The vast scenic views of the North Carolina countryside along with the grandness of our 150 year old Oak trees do not go unnoticed, and at night, the stars light up the sky. Today, there is an unexpected immersive experience that brings history, nature and modern elegance together in total privacy.

  • All-inclusive venue packages

  • Does not allow pets

We had our wedding at Sugarneck in May. The venue alone is stunning, incredibly well taken care of and immaculately clean. Add to that the dedication of Alicia and her team to plan and execute the most magical, flawless day - I wish I could give 10 stars! We chose Sugarneck because of its location and extremely reasonably priced packages. It truly took the stress out of the day as Alicia was always on top of any questions/concerns I had and brought my ideas to life in all areas. Despite a downpour after the ceremony, the day was flawless and the team worked so hard, always while providing top notch service to all our guests. The only thing I wish I had known ahead of time was the difficultly in guests getting Ubers after the event, while there was a shuttle bus that showed up that transported people, had I known, I would have either paid for it or given people a heads up as it was a little pricey. We spent the whole weekend there including hosting the rehearsal dinner which in itself was a fabulous time. We really felt like part of the family there and not just ‘renting the property’. We would not have asked for a more perfect venue and team to help us with our special day.

Hey there!

As a DJ, host, & party producer I guide you through the wedding music to make the entire process easy, delivering an engaging wedding experience through crowd interaction (no awkward moments ever), full music curation, and immersive sound & full-room lighting design. Plus, your guests might just think you hired Pitbull ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

From the moment we booked The RF Collective, her communication was effective, timely, and responsible. On the day of our wedding, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and even got on her knees to help me bustle my dress before greeting our guests. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the quality of her work is truly beautiful and natural. She also gave us previous for both engagement and wedding sessions (which I LOVED).

Franklinton, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $6,000

The Carolina Manor House is a historic Queen Anne-style estate built in 1902 as the home of Dr. J.H. Harris, a beloved local physician who treated patients and delivered babies right here in Franklinton. The three-story mansion and surrounding ten acres of grounds have been carefully restored to blend timeless character with modern comfort. Today the Manor serves as a versatile wedding and event venue with multiple spaces that adapt to your vision. Couples can exchange vows anywhere on the property, celebrate in the elegant Grand Hall, or enjoy scenic outdoor spaces that flow naturally from ceremony to reception. The property also offers unique features like treehouse lodging and detailed interior spaces that honor the home’s original charm - hardwood floors, classic architectural elements, and a wrap-around porch - while providing comfort and style for your guests. Couples love the rich history, intentional flow of the grounds, and the way the Manor feels peaceful and magical.

Venue considerations

  • Dance floor not included
  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • No all-inclusive dining options
The Carolina Manor House was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful as we planned our special day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - clean, open, and with a warm, homey feel that made all of our guests feel right at home. On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredibly attentive, quick to problem-solve any small issues that came up, and went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. I really enjoyed my time at the manor and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stunning, welcoming wedding venue.

We hired Joey for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Music was incredibly important to us, and he absolutely delivered beyond our expectations. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, every track was perfectly timed and fit the vibe we wanted. He read the crowd so well! He was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, we highly recommend him!

Casie was a gem to work with. We had her for our engagement session and as well as our wedding day. When I look at her photos I feel my husband and I are the only ones in the room. She knows exactly the vibe to hit when looking at a setting. She was easy to talk to and we had so much fun creating moments with her. Thankful to have her part of our day!

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!

I’ve been a Raleigh, NC local since 2014—by way of Chicago, by way of military brat, so, all over. With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction.. An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Brighid was so so so amazing to work with and I could not be happier with how our photos turned out for our garden wedding ceremony. She truly made the day feel light and special. I can’t wait to work with her again for my next special occasion!
