We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was personable, professional, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, including my camera shy family. She kept the day running smoothly while capturing every picture I requested and the meaningful moments behind them beautifully. Even while very pregnant, she absolutely crushed it! She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone without hesitation!! 3 Also, a shoutout to her husband, Chris! He was great and fun on the dance floor as well!

Hi there! We are Wil & Elisa, husband and wife wedding filmmakers based in Raleigh, NC. We got married on a chilly spring day in Michigan 14 years ago. Best day of our lives! We have two daughters that are our world and keep us entertained for sure! We have been in the filmmaking industry together for 14 years. Elisa is creative and organized which makes my work load so much easier. She's always there to lend a helping hand even though she has her own business to manage. For me, I love weddings and gear!

But hey, we'll help you with that part too :) We believe in building real friendships, soaking in the sacred, silly, and emotional parts of your day, and documenting it all with intention and heart. We’ll laugh with you, pray over you, share stories, and quietly capture every in-between moment that makes your love unique.

From the moment we first spoke with Kingdom Shakers Photo and Video, we were impressed by their responsive, personable, and friendly communication style. They truly listened to our wants and needs, and their caring approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, their creative and dependable artistry shone through, as they captured every special moment with an eye for detail. Would've liked more "getting ready" photos up in my room but we didn't have enough time, so make sure to book enough hours so that won't happen. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, and Rachel even helped us pick out outfits that would look best for the time of year. The wedding day photos turned out so good, and they made sure to try and incorporate all of our input on what we wanted. Overall, the final product was of great value, and we highly recommend getting the raw video footage in addition to the edited version to ensure you don't miss a single second of your special day. Kingdom Shakers Photo and Video was a joy to work with, and we're very happy with the results.

Ottoman Social Coffee Cart 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)

Ottoman Social is a boutique, fully organic coffee cart designed to bring people together through thoughtfully crafted beverages and intentional hospitality. Rooted in community and inspired by European café culture, we serve handcrafted lattes, matcha, chai, and seasonal specialties made to order using high-quality organic ingredients. Each experience is carefully curated — from custom flavors and personalized menus to a refined setup styled to complement your space. Whether for an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, Ottoman Social creates moments that feel warm, elevated, and genuinely welcoming.

With so many different coffee businesses, Seline has made Ottoman Social Coffee Cart stand out in a crowd! Every menu item is thoughtfully put together and showcases her creativity and care. On her winter menu she had a drink called the “Bavarian Christmas” and it was fresh gingerbread, roasted almonds, warm brown sugar and topped with spices. As someone who is used to “stereotypical” or commercial coffees and lattes, I now know what I’ve been missing! Somehow, she can seamlessly take orders, explain menu items/ingredients and craft the most beautiful drinks all while making every interaction feel personalized. I unfortunately couldn’t make it to try out her bakery items during the holiday season, but my family members were able to, and they said it was so tasty. The homemade orange cranberry scones and the cinnamon rolls were the crowd’s favorite.

Working with Alexis Frazier Photography & Videography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We booked 8 hours of photo and video coverage — which also came with a complimentary engagement session — and added full-day Polaroid coverage. All of it came in under 8,000, and the experience was worth so much more. From start to finish, Alexis and her team made us feel taken care of. The engagement session gave us a chance to connect before the big day, and the Polaroids were such a fun, tangible touch — it felt like reliving the day in real-time while knowing our full gallery and highlight film were on the way. Alexis brings a calm, joyful presence and makes you feel like more than just a client — she truly becomes part of the day. The video team worked so seamlessly and quietly, yet captured everything beautifully. We’re so grateful for the memories and would recommend this dream team to anyone looking for heartfelt storytelling and a stress-free experience.

The Farm at 95 offically opened it's doors in October of 2013 and to this day is one of the two largest venues in Johnston County (oh, our sister location is the other larges venue)! Our space can accommodate anywhere from 80 to 400 guests, with separate rooms for food, dedicated dressing rooms, a well equipped stage and a relaxing patio heaters, fans and a gas fire pit. When you inquire, you will also receive information about our sister location, The Farm at 42, which we opened in March of 2018. This venue is similar to The Farm at 95, but has simple improvements such as larger dressing suites, upgraded finishes and a completely different ceremony setting. We hope that between one of our locations, we are able to work together to plan your pefect day!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe
  • Dressing room available

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Does not allow pets
  • Dance floor not included
The Farm at 95 was probably one of our favorite vendors at our wedding. Not only is the location beautiful but Rachel, the General Manager, went above and beyond for us. Our experience working with her was so easy and stress free. She was very helpful during our wedding and even caught a detail I missed and helped us fix it in the moment. Again the venue is beautiful but there also is so many great features you can utilize as well. The dressing rooms with the private bathrooms were perfect for us getting ready (1 bride, 5 maid of honors, 2 mothers and the makeup artist and hair stylist). I also loved how we had so much flexibility you have for where you do the ceremony. You have the option of the outdoor gazebo for your ceremony (which we ended up using) but you also could have your ceremony inside. Our reception was all done in the banquet hall/outdoor patio. We had a live band and the setup was perfect as there is a nice stage in the banquet hall. We had about 200 people and there was more than enough space. I also will mention the parking lot is more than big enough (parking is something I find very important). Overall we loved working with Rachel and truly had an unforgettable night. She did as much as she could to ensure we had a wonderful time. I don't know where else you could find such wonderful venue that is beautiful with a lot of great features and with someone who cares as much as Rachel!

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry.

Talia was truly the cornerstone of our wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, she took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Her impeccable organizational skills and attention to the smallest details ensured that every aspect of our wedding day went off without a hitch. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, crafting a stunning decor layout, or calming our nerves during moments of stress, Talia was a constant source of guidance and positivity. Her creativity knows no bounds—she suggested unique touches that made our wedding feel personalized and unforgettable, and her ability to problem-solve on the spot was remarkable. Talia's professionalism and warmth made her feel like both a trusted expert and a friend throughout this journey. Thanks to her, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We are eternally grateful to Talia for her hard work, dedication, and the magic she brought to our special day!
