DJ Trey Entertainment is AMAZING! The team was so easy to work with, very responsive and always helpful. I haven’t had a positive customer service experience like that since before Covid. Trey was a fantastic DJ! The music during the ceremony was flawless. The reception was perfect between the video montage, the personalized monogram and the cold sparks! He kept the party going by playing all the right songs! The dance floor was packed all night! He made the wedding/reception so fun and I am so thankful we hired him. 100% recommend DJ Trey and his team!

Columbia, SC
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country. I recently moved to South Carolina from California, where I lived in Yosemite National Park. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, Carson was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring she understood all the shots we wanted. She even provided an extra shooter on the big day to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. Her sweet and warm personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. We were a bit nervous in front of the camera, but Carson made us feel so comfortable, even playing music and attending to all the little details to ensure we looked and felt our best. She also did our engagement shoot and delivered the most stunning pictures. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get the perfect photos, Carson is your photographer. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Carson, for making our special day unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
Buds & Roses Couture Cakes was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. My significant other doesn’t eat cake, and upon hearing this and seeing inspiration photos, the owner worked so hard to ensure we both had something we could enjoy. Their communication was prompt and they asked plenty of questions to ensure we were on the same page about the design. Our cookie cake turned out GORGEOUS and tasted absolutely delicious. The owner even went out of her way to make sure the florals on the cake matched our bouquets, which was a really nice touch that made the cake feel special and personalized for our wedding day. Overall, we were thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided. Highly recommend Buds & Roses Couture Cakes for any couple looking for beautiful and delicious wedding desserts!

I’ve worked in everything from venue management, catering to festival planning and corporate events but my first love is all things WEDDINGS!

Petrichor Floral Design 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Columbia, SC
  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,000

I have always loved weddings. My earliest memories consist of creating weddings for my dolls and stuffed animals. I love flowers. They're beautiful, unique, fun, whimsical... any adjective it can be. Each flower is so unique and has a story to tell just like each person. They're present for some of the most important moments of our lives and a beautiful reminder to savor the moment. Petrichor Floral Design's desire is to create your floral vision for any and all of these special moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Petrichor Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Michelle's communication was clear, responsive to our needs, and highly organized. She listened closely to our vision for an elegant but vibrant color palette and brought it to life with beautiful, whimsical floral designs that were even better than the inspiration photos I shared from Pinterest! We were in a bind 6 weeks before our wedding, planning from out-of-state and frantically searching for a new florist after being ghosted by someone who pocketed our deposit. I am SO happy that we found Michelle at Petrichor. She was sympathetic to our situation and quick to pull together a fresh floral plan that fit our timeline and remaining budget. Her advice helped us choose high-impact arrangements, and we never felt coerced to spend more than we wanted on flowers we didn't need. The end result was stunning - our guests (and folks online) are still raving about the flowers two months later! Michelle's creative vision, affordable pricing, and dedication to making our floral arrangements feel as fun and beautiful as our relationship made her a gem to work with. I can't recommend Petrichor Floral Design enough - if you're planning a wedding in the Columbia, SC area, you need to book with Petrichor TODAY.

Shot By Shante Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Columbia, SC
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté
