Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way! We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There's the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

She made sure I felt relaxed and I knew everything was going to be taken care of because of Ariana!

Ellevated Beauty 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 2
  • Starts at $450

---- PLEASE HEAD TO MY WEBSITE TO INQUIRE FOR MORE INFORMATION & PRICING ----Ellevated Beauty is led by Elle DuVall — an 18-year beauty professional, Bridal Expert, Aesthetician, and Brow Expert specializing in natural glam to full glam. Known for refined artistry, calm energy, and a highly personalized bridal experience. ---------- Professional Inquiry Policy: I personally review messages and respond to thoughtful inquiries that include a greeting, wedding date/location, services requested, and a brief vision. Intentional communication allows me to give each bride the elevated, attentive experience she deserves.

From the very first private message on Instagram, Ellevated Beauty's communication was exceptional. We seamlessly finalized all the contracts and details via email, and they were flexible when I needed to adjust the timeline and location. The email contracts were clear and concise, providing me with peace of mind. Ellevated Beauty's work was truly astounding - I was blown away by how natural and perfect my girls looked. I felt like the airbrushed version of myself, with my features elevated in the most effortless way. My makeup was the final touch that perfectly captured the old Hollywood charm I was going for, and the cat eye shadows were a spot-on interpretation of my signature style. Ellevated Beauty was punctual and efficient, working through all of my girls in an orderly fashion even when some were running late. They listened closely to all of our wants and desires, making us feel truly special and cared for throughout the process. I cannot recommend Ellevated Beauty highly enough for their outstanding service, talent, and professionalism on our wedding day. Most of this was written by the AI generated review thing but it did a good job and I agree with it all. I struggled with the decision to get makeup done by a professional but I have zero regrets and would like to take classes from her now if that were even an option. I'm the worst for being able to communicate what I'm going for, I showed the poor girl an AI-generated image as an example; she was understanding. I knew my look was something hard to explain but she nailed it. I felt perfect, the makeup showed up in photos, and it felt so light, I hardly knew I was wearing anything.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Laura. From the moment I met her, I knew we were going to be in the best hands. Laura and her husband Drew (who was a second shooter for us) are not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest, most calming presence to have with you on such an emotional weekend. They made my husband and I feel completely at ease, captured every moment so naturally, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. The photos they delivered are beyond anything we could have imagined—gorgeous, artful, emotional, and full of life. Every time we look through them, we’re transported right back to the magic of the day!

Please note that due to an upcoming move out of state, I'm no longer accepting NC wedding inquiries. Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

Hey! I'm Phillip, a Durham-based commercial Cinematographer that brings that bold energy from big household known-brands into wedding films! We fell in love with filming weddings, but noticed that modern wedding films feel flat, slowly-paced, and boring. Then we asked ourselves: Why don’t we bring that boldness and energy from commercial projects into our wedding films? Storytelling is everything in wedding films. Every couple’s love story is unique and intimate. We utilize immersive camera movements, energetic music, and captured vows/speeches to craft films that are truly cinematic. Let's set up a chat and talk about your love story!

Phillip was so professional and easy to work with. He exceeded our expectations!! My husband and I cried watching our wedding video, it looked straight out of a movie!! I would recommend Phillip to anyone looking for a videographer for any event! :)

Stephanie personally designs, bakes, decorates, and delivers every order, working closely with clients to bring their visions to life.

Stephanie was incredible throughout the whole process. Very responsive, timely, and thorough whenever I asked a question. We got to taste test all three flavors (lemon blueberry, cinnamon bun, and funfetti) we were interested in, all incredible, and jumped on ordering for our wedding. I provided Stephanie with an inspo picture, and the final design was stunning and matched our wedding colors to a tee. Our wedding cake was lemon blueberry, and our cupcakes were cinnamon bun and funfetti. The day of the wedding, Stephanie came to drop off/setup everything and was in and out. Smooth, easy, zero fuss, I never even saw her haha. All our guests raved about all the flavors, and wanted to know who baked them, and I was sure to tell them Stephanie. My husband and I are coming up on our one year anniversary now, and I just ordered a smaller version of our wedding cake to celebrate. Stephanie, amazing as always, jumped right on it, and I couldn’t be more excited. If you’re looking for a delicious, beautifully designed dessert with an easy and fast ordering process and great communicator, I highly recommend Stephanie, she’s an expert and will make it happen.

We’ve had the pleasure of being guests at a wedding for which Alex was the DJ, as well as having him DJ our wedding! Both were an absolute blast. Incredible value for the experience and everything included. Alex did music, microphones, and lights for our ceremony and reception. From when we first reached out, everything was incredibly easy, and we never had any doubt Alex had all our needs covered. He listened well to our vision for the day and fulfilled it perfectly, along with filling in any gaps to match our vibe for the portions of the day where we didn’t have specific music requests. He was a great MC, and everything flowed smoothly all day with no hiccups. We wanted our reception to be an energetic dance party, and that’s exactly what we got! The dance floor was packed the entire night. We’re still getting comments about how much fun people had at our wedding which brings us so much joy!

The open outdoor space created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that encouraged conversation and connection among our team, comfortably accommodating our group of over 200 guests.

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Inspired by everyday colors and life's subtle details, I love to add my own personal twist to the makeup looks I create. I am a North Carolina based Bridal Makeup Artist, however. I travel worldwide to provide makeup services to my brides. I consider myself to be the bride's makeup artist. Brides hire me to create the precise bridal makeup look that they have envisioned their entire lives.

Hello Tiwa, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Your skill and artistry not only made me feel incredibly beautiful but also played a significant role in making my day truly special. From the moment I sat in your chair until the final brushstroke, you exhibited a level of professionalism and creativity that left me in awe. Your attention to detail and your ability to enhance my natural beauty while still making me feel like myself were truly remarkable. More than just the makeup, your presence and calming demeanor throughout the wedding preparations were a source of comfort and reassurance for me. You helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during a day that can sometimes be filled with nerves and excitement. You went above and beyond in making me feel and look my best, and I am immensely grateful for your talent and dedication. Your work not only made me feel confident but also contributed significantly to the overall beauty and magic of the day. Thank you for being a part of one of the most important days of my life and for making it even more special. Your role was instrumental, and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Wishing you continued success in your career, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. I really would like to see you again as well, and hopefully we can set up a lunch date or just hang out, but you will forever be my go to for a makeover. I will be leaving reviews and tagging your business in all my posts, and I would love to review your services for other brides looking for MUA. With heartfelt thanks and warm regards, Donna Porch
