2 Nov, 2024The story of our wedding
Where to start! Our wedding was nothing short of magical; our venue was beautiful, our vendor team was amazing, and our guests genuinely had a wonderful time; they could not stop raving about how romantic our ceremony was! We have so many stories that will last us for decades, so many moments that were filled with joy & laughter. Let us not forget we danced our hearts out and ate CAKE!
We used family/friends as some of our vendors, which was great economically and it gave us the opportunity to personalize our day. My uncle officiated for us, my friend was our florist and my sister-in law’s boyfriend DJ’d for us. All three of them were fantastic and added those special touches to our day.
Venue: Morris Peaceland Farm just has that special feel, it is a rustic family run farm, and the owners made us feel like family throughout the 14-month process! The owners are two confident & intelligent businesswomen, whom we also hired as our day of coordinators and decorators; why not hire the family team that owns and runs the farm to run the show on the day of!? I have a type-A personality, and I am a planner. They embraced me and gave me the confidence to let go a few weeks leading up to the wedding. They not only captured my vision; they leveled it up!!! I did not have to stress about any last-minute hiccups, they took care of it ALL!!!! Not only that, but on the day of, they constantly checked in on me, helped with pre-ceremony nerves, made sure we had water and were comfortable. Again, we felt like we were family. They worked wonderfully with all our vendors.

This team is amazing!!! They are professionals who know how to keep it personal. They made us feel so comfortable around them and were straight forward with how the entire process worked. Their work is just magical; the details, effort and care they put into it is fantastic. From the first consultation with them, to the delivery of our portfolio, we felt taken care of and loved! They were flexible with last-minute changes on the wedding day and as the bride, I had a bit of nerves that Reg helped me out with, more than I think he realizes. He hyped me up mentally and continued to let me know “I got this”. I don’t think people realize how important that is, to have a vendor who truly cares about you and isn’t just there for a paycheck. We have photos that will last us a lifetime, and memories we can share with our family for generations to come.
Videography: We are SO happy and so incredibly grateful that we found Ethan Britt, thanks to our photographers’ recommendation! Ethan was extremely accommodating and flexible throughout the entire process, from our custom package to hours before the start of the ceremony. Super easy to talk with, share what our vision was, and he gave us the confidence to allow him to capture our dream wedding on video. We absolutely LOVE our wedding video- it is so well done, from the edits, the quality, and all the DETAILS, details that we didn’t even notice ourselves on the day of! Now we have a beautiful video that captures our favorite day that we can enjoy over and over again.
Catering: The Cannon team was amazing from the very first interaction, all the way through the wedding. The team is on top of it with communication, transparency and the FOOD is AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about it more than a week later. Seriously- it was that GOOD. We reviewed/tasted more than 12 catering companies in the Raleigh area, and these guys have it down. Again, communication, transparency, and the FOOD, all beyond expectations. They are also extremely reasonably priced, compared to some of the other companies in RTP and surrounding areas. My husband and I are foodies, and this aspect of the wedding was extremely important to us and for our guests, and we could not have asked for anything better. They worked so well with our venue/coordinator, very professional, and made sure we as the bride and the groom had food in front of us within minutes of sitting down.
Seamstress: Kelly Bridal Alterations- Kelly is truly an amazing seamstress and businesswoman! Her communication and transparency helped ease my mind, as I was very new to this entire process. I wanted sleeves added to my dress and she made that vision come true, and I looked absolutely stunning in it. You would have never known that the dress was originally sleeveless- the dress became a one-of-a-kind dress, for ME. All my guests were in “aw.”
Photobooth: Danny (Popstar Photobooth) was awesome to work with!!! The entire experience was 5 stars! From the initial inquiry & communications, the flexibility that is allowed in each package- which really allowed us to customize what worked best for us. Our guests had a blast using it, and we loved being able to review all of the photos the next day.
We seriously could not have asked for a better team to make our dream wedding come true!!!
