First of all, Miranda and Nick are awesome!  They were a lot of fun to DJ for with a great group of friends and family to help them party away their wedding night.  We got to provide ceremony music from about 2 feet behind the bride and groom during the ceremony (that was a first!).  The date was December 20th so the good people at Shad Wagon Farms brought down the walls on the gazebo dance area and cranked up the heaters as we cranked up the dance floor.  Look below for a bunch more great photos!

A big thank you to all of the phenomenal vendors that we got to work with:

Venue: Shady Wagon Farm was as beautiful as ever even in the depths of winter here in North Carolina.  I am amazed at how well this venue adapts to the change of season and change of bride’s style.

Planner: Jessica King from Happily Ever After was the planner/coordinator.  Jessica was great to work with before and during the wedding.  She was very organized and accommodating!

Catering: The incredible southern food menu was provided by Jenn Carlin and her team of pros at Rocky Top Catering.  This is one of the best caterers in this area!

Photographer:  If you love the photos below then please take moment to check out the Collazo Photography Facebook page.  Lu Collazo was a blast to work with and even though we had never worked together before we teamed up to make Miranda and Herbert’s wedding day exactly what they imagined.

Officiant: Rev. Barbara Lodge delivered a beautiful ceremony service … as always!  Rev. Lodge is great at her craft and she really knows how to capture her clients’ day perfectly.

Florist:  Check out the great work of Flower Cupboard in the first ceremony photo below.  Great job providing Miranda and Herbert with beautiful floral arrangements!

Videography: Mark Darby was a lot of fun to work with.  We can’t wait to see the awesome skills of this videographer!  Mark is professionally trained but relatively new to the wedding industry.
