Two things we never take for granted:

1. Working on the beach 🐚
2. Words like these ⭐️

Hearing back from our couples after their big day is one of the best rewards! You deserve to have the wedding day you want to have and we promise our full support every step of the way ✨

“I’ve got my dreams, baby you got yours, put it together, we got a whole lot more…” 🤍

Your ceremony should reflect your love story… Your inside jokes, your desires for the future, the little moments that brought you here, and yes, even a lyric that perfectly captures your love.

And this little piece of perfection? ✨

It’s from Dolly Parton’s “I Want to Make You Happy.”

To Dolly’s everlasting love 🤍

Some of the most beautiful celebrations begin right at home 🤍

This intimate backyard ceremony took place at a private family residence, surrounded by the people who mattered most. From there, the evening unfolded into a celebration that was simple, elegant, and beautifully intentional, with a private dinner.

It was the perfect reminder that your wedding day doesn’t have to be grand to feel extraordinary. Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments, the meaningful setting, and the thoughtful details that make a celebration unforgettable. ✨

We loved bringing this sweet day together and are so happy to take a little trip back to 2024 with M & M. 🥂

50 years of love deserves a celebration this special. 🤍

We loved being part of A & K’s 50th anniversary celebration in Carolina Beach — a beautiful reminder that the best love stories only grow sweeter with time.

Cheers to 50 years, countless memories, and many more to come. ✨

As we get closer to D & J’s 4-year anniversary, we’re taking a little trip down memory lane to celebrate a day that reminds us why we love what we do. 🤍
Sometimes, all you need is the right people, a beautiful setting, and a whole lot of love. Then and now, our Sweet as Honey package gives you:

✨ Instructions on how to obtain your marriage license in NC

✨ Recommended ceremony locations based on your interest

✨ Personalized ceremony script with your love story & vows

✨ Coordination for your elopement & a handy emergency bag

✨ Filed marriage license

✨ A toast for two

✨A custom faux floral bouquet & boutonnière

✨Photography to capture every sweet moment

It’s amazing to look back at what we were creating then and see how much has changed—and how much hasn’t. We still love what we do just as much as we did back then, and after all these years, we’re even more enthusiastic, joyful, and grateful for every couple who trusts us with such an important day.

Happy anniversary, D & J. Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of such a beautiful chapter in your story. 🥂✨

The forecast said rain... but this love story had other plans. 🤍

On the morning of J & D’s wedding, the weather was uncertain. Together, we held onto hope for the beach wedding they had always dreamed of. Miraculously, just in time for them to say “I do,” the rain cleared, and they exchanged their vows beneath Wrightsville Beach’s iconic Oceanic Pier — with not a raindrop in sight.

We’re loving looking back on the special moments leading up to and during the ceremony that made this wedding day unforgettable — dockside views, the sound of the waves, happy tears, and heartfelt details.
