We truly cannot thank Molly enough for everything. She not only showed up for us, she SHOWED OUT. From the moment we met Molly on Zoom, we knew she was gonna be the perfect person for us to handle our many music ideas and dreams. Her kind, authentic, fun, sweet, and positive energy and vibes are contagious. Music is a very important part of me and my wife’s relationship, so it was very important that we found someone who wasn’t just a DJ, but who also understood the importance of music and how it can be a foundational piece of a relationship and how music can influence and enhance experiences. Molly not only understands that, but she lives and breathes that, and it comes through in her gift of helping you curate the soundtrack to the best day of your life. I had envisioned every part of our wedding over and over, and created playlists to those moments, and Molly and her app allowed us to easily and seamlessly put that vision together. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to those playlists and pictured our wedding day, and she made it all happen, flawlessly. Every one of our music fantasies came through exactly as we had hoped and dreamed, all of which was made possible because of Molly. She even created a version of an ODESZA song just for us that would be timed exactly right for our first kiss after we said our I Dos and that played as we walked back up the aisle together. It was perfect and exactly how I pictured it. Molly will be as hands-on or hands-off as you want her to be. She meets you where you’re at and uses her professional expertise and experience to help guide you in the right direction while you’re on your wedding journey full of never-ending decisions. During the reception, she kept the vibes UP all night, she read the room, and she had people on the dance floor the entire time (especially us). I don’t think I’ve danced that much in my entire life. And we’re ravers lol. She gave us our dream dance party, and we had an absolute blast. Everybody loved her and thought she KILLED it. We got so many comments from our guests saying, “your DJ was amazing!!” Even people we didn’t expect to see dancing made an appearance or two on the dance floor. She hit on so many levels, and we are sooo beyond grateful for her. Also, her energy is just magnificent and infectious! I literally felt so happy whenever she’d walk up to us, I was like “omg hi, I’m so happy to see you,” like we were old friends. She is professional and fun all in one. She has a very calming and grounding presence, too, which was very much needed and appreciated on wedding day. Long story short, Molly was the only DJ we talked to and we never once regretted that decision. She was an angel to us before and during the wedding. We are already trying to figure out when we can go see her play! The best advice in wedding planning we got was this: if you follow your gut and hire the right people, you can trust your decision and you can trust the professional that you hired to get the job done right. And we are so glad we followed our gut and hired DJ Molly Parti :)

The quality of their work was truly professional and they made both myself and the mother of the groom feel relaxed and beautiful. After having another vendor cancel on us last minute, Jeanne was a lifesaver and matched us with McKayla, who was an angel to work with. McKayla was on time, communicative, and paid close attention to detail while also being efficient with her time.

I could not have been any happier with my stylists, Sky and Autumn. They showed up early and set up without needing a lot of help from me. They were accommodating to my wedding party, who wanted a whole range of makeup and hairstyles, and they got everyone done EARLY! Everyone felt gorgeous, especially me (the bride). Both stylists were super easy to talk to and generally made the atmosphere of my wedding morning more fun. I received compliments on my makeup all day, and it looked just as good at the end of the night as at the beginning. I had a cathedral length veil and my hair didn't budge once, even when the veil was taken in and out. I would choose Bella Bridal Artistry a hundred times over-- I even recommended them to two other brides-to-be in my family!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Black Mountain, NC

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

They were easy to set up a viewing appointment with. They walked us all around the property, including multiple ceremony options and a large guest house with a bridal suite and two guest bathrooms. Doug, the owner, offers his own catering which was beyound incredible. We did a buffet style and it was all delicious. Doug even made me my own cauliflower steak - I'm a vegetarian.

Carolina Flowers provided the flowers for our wedding, but the experience was not as smooth as we had hoped. Their online communication style was quite tough, and the quality of their work felt a bit improvised. While the flowers were beautiful, they did not fully listen to our requests - we asked for white and blue flowers, but ended up with pink and purple flowers included in our bouquet and decor.

We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.

If you’re reading this review, I suspect you’ve already seen photos of the absolutely stunning Laurel Falls property from the long-range mountain views to the cascading waterfalls to the rhododendron forest to the well-equipped historical lodge and cabins. You may also be aware that you get the entire 18-acre venue and its 4 cabins for three whole days. These pieces alone could easily win you over. What can’t be captured in the photos is the quality of service, thoughtfulness of design, ongoing support, depth of knowledge, and genuine kindness exuded by each member of the Laurel Falls staff. Trust me, when planning a wedding, these things are VERY important, especially when planning from afar. Jordan, the owner, gave my then-fiancé and I the history of the property then took us on a tour of the property (and even did the on-site hiking trail with us). As we visited each area of the property, he helped us envision how we might use it for various weekend festivities. A wedding at Laurel Falls meant a long weekend with our favorite people in a gorgeous place and time to relax and soak in the whole experience - not just a single night that flies by so fast you don’t remember it. Despite my indecisive nature and this being the only venue we’d visited, it felt right and we knew it was for us. From this point, Kristen, the Events Director, was our main contact. There aren’t words to describe how phenomenal this woman is. Kristen is always so kind, helpful, positive, AND she could answer literally any obscure question I had. I reached out to Kristen to ask her recommendation on the ceremony start time because I wanted to be mindful of how the sun would impact the temp and the lighting at our chosen ceremony site. I expected just a discussion, but she blew me away when she also sent me the LF Pinterest page along with the names and ceremony start times of featured former couples married our same month. When I wasn’t sure how to arrange the tables and where to put the DJ to maximize dancing, she gave me insights AND shared layouts from other couples with a similar guest count. These are just a couple examples of Kristen’s meticulousness and level of support every step of the way. The Laurel Falls team truly thought of everything to make the wedding experience easy and pleasant. With the setting, we knew the wedding festivities would be beautiful, but the magical, memorable weekend wouldn’t have existed without the LF team. We’d choose this place - and these people - over and over again!!

Carly was incredible to work with as our wedding photographer. We had know idea what we were doing, yet Carly made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. She had lots of great ideas/techniques to implement our vision and was an absolute joy to work with. Our photos couldn’t have came out more amazing. We are obsessed with the final product.

We recently found an incredible venue and couldn't be happier with the experience! The views are absolutely fantastic, providing a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and photos, especially with the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed every evening. The event spaces are nice and well-maintained, offering a variety of different spaces for all our activities, from the rehearsal dinner to the main event. This versatility made planning seamless. The accompanying house deserves a special mention; it is modern, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped, making our entire weekend stay feel like a luxurious retreat. Logistics were a breeze, which is a huge relief when planning a wedding. There was plenty of parking for all our guests, and the easy accessibility to Asheville meant that friends and family flying in or staying in town had no trouble getting to the venue. Overall, it was the perfect location for our special day, combining natural beauty with excellent facilities and convenience. We highly recommend it!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

If we could give more than 5 stars to Michael, we would. Michael is an amazing photographer and beyond that just a genuine amazing human being. When we first started looking for a photographer, we both went into it knowing that we are both incredibly awkward people when asked to pose. With this in mind, we started the big search - the one that everyone reminds you that will tell your stories for years. Enter finding Michael - his website mentioned candidness, and a documentary type of style. Two things that immediately caught our eye - not to mention looking through his previous work- which is just unbelievable! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, Michael was incredibly helpful. He answered any questions we had and offered super helpful suggestions when figuring out the flow of the day. One tidbit that I would recommend to any bride is work with your photographer to create that timeline - a tidbit from Michael. He also managed to have a blog post for every type of question I had (and I had a lot LOL). A few weeks prior to the wedding, Michael met with us via zoom to go over the different elements of our days and to go over our family list (which was insanely helpful day of because we were able to knock those out)! When our wedding day arrived, he was there early to get everything set up and his presence just put everyone at ease. It felt like someone who had been part of our family friends rather than a wedding vendor - which was another element that was important to us: good vibes! Our wedding day and the pictures felt just like us - entertaining and full of laughter. We hiked through some trails for our first look, walked along a highway, and climbed rocks- which lead to nothing but new memories and lots of giggles. We both were really nervous about taking the posed pics but Michael put us in our natural element and just focused on capturing our story, which was a trend all throughout the day. None of us will ever forget the fact we forgot to tell him we had a 6 foot hoagie at the ceremony. We also had a blast using bubble guns for a photo op fake exit and learned there is such a thing as too many bubbles! Within a day after the wedding, we had a sneak peek - and we generally could not believe how AMAZING our photos turned out. It’s still surreal that we could look that good in photos, he captured exactly what we were hoping -us having the time of our life and starting our life together as husband and wife. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! P.S. Plus how awesome is it when your vendors are so cool that they feel like friends by the end of the wedding so you have to get a selfie to commemorate the hours of planning and talking you did to make the day one of the most incredible days EVER!!!

So, I came to Ryan through rec from a friend with very good taste. She told me he was great at creating a vibe, and that was all I needed to hear. I didn’t look into anyone else once Ryan let me know he had my date open. He sends out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel for what you want, and he 100% delivers on it. Our wedding was pretty low-key (no official organizer) and Ryan was chill about making announcements, etc. when we checked in with him in the moment. Should I ever need a DJ again, I’ll absolutely hit him up. If anything, I’d probably just let him have more free reign next time. The man knows what he’s doing.
