Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Etowah, NC

Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

She was very enthusiastic throughout the process and really seemed to be enjoying our nuptials as much as the other guests were. We had to plan the wedding reception on short notice after Hurricane Helene resulted in closure of our original venue. There were so many moving parts for reorganizing our event but she guided us along the way and relieved any stress from the entertainment component. She followed through and delivered on everything that we discussed and was very professional throughout. We would highly we recommend her for your wedding reception or event!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

Wowwowow. We are such huge fans! We had Nathan and his team cover our wedding with both photo and film! We were so happy to have found Nathan for our destination wedding. Planning with him was an ease and as someone who usually is very awkward in front of the camera, he actually found a way to make me actually enjoy it! Both my partner and I commented afterwards how we had so much fun and we just knew the videos and photos would be amazing. And, of course, they were unreal! So much better than we ever could have imaged! So happy with our choice of videography and photography for our wedding! Excited to make some prints and hang them on our wall!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had. I am so jealous that you, the prospective client, have the opportunity to book Paige & Holly for a future event. I truly can't hype them up enough.

A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Etowah, NC

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

Homewood 

4.7

Asheville, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Homewood, a special event venue in Asheville, NC, is an ideal destination for rehearsal dinners, weddings, receptions, and gatherings. Homewood is a beautifully restored 1920s stone manor located in Asheville's post-Victorian historic district of Montford. The elegant castle was originally built as a private home. The elegance of the 1920s luminesces from original wrought iron chandeliers and alabaster sconces, casting graceful lighting from the 20-foot ceilings of the Great Room to the original hardwood floors, cherry walls, and grand Appalachian stone fireplaces. Conveniently located within a mile of downtown Asheville, Homewood offers 200 free, designated parking spaces, and is located in a neighborhood setting. The Great Room seats 110 people for dinner, or up to 150 with cocktail seating, with space for dance floor and DJ or band. Homewood is fully handicap-accessible. The beautiful and lush surrounding grounds provide additional outdoor space, including our garden ceremony site.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Both indoor and outdoor options

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
Homewood did an INCREDIBLE job of delivering our dream wedding, at the beginning of this April. Our top criteria when looking for our venue, and how they worked out, were the following: 1) low-ish budget- we wanted a venue that didn't have a lot of requirements in terms of vendors. We didn't want to pay extra for chairs, tables, all the fine print- and Homewood does a great job with this. Almost everything for the venue itself, from setup to tear down, was included in the price. Homewood has three required vendors- a caterer, coordinator/planner, and bar service. These are three components of a wedding that arguably you cannot go without so we were fine that these were required! And for the services we got the prices were absolutely reasonable. From there, there is so much flexibility on what you can do. We wanted a great photographer so spent a little more on that, but didn't care so much about the cake so went with a Publix bakery cake which our coordinators still made beautiful. There is no judgement and whatever your choices are, Homewood's planners, Carolina Love Events, will do an INCREDIBLE job of making your dream wedding come to life. I cannot put into words how amazing they are! 2) mountain views and scenery- you can see just from pictures that Homewood checks that box :) our previews and final shots we've gotten back so far are incredible. We are dedicating an entire wall of our house just to wedding photos! 3) LGBTQ friendly- we are a wlw couple and wanted a place that was accepting. Homewood was proud to welcome us and we did not feel one ounce of judgement, just pure acceptance and love! We truly had the best wedding and I still pinch myself that it really happened. Homewood will always have a special place in our hearts!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Etowah, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!

Luxury Harpist - Tori Parrish 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Etowah, NC

I am a classical harpist with over twenty years of experience, and I love working with couples to add a magical touch to their special day. I have a full repertoire of classical and romantic music, and I arrange my own medleys and popular music as well! I have performed in weddings in North Carolina, California and Tennessee and with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and the American Youth Harp Ensemble. Some of my favorite performances were touring renowned concert halls in Austria including St. Peter's Cathedral and Melk Abbey. Now, I'm based in Asheville, NC and work with students of all ages sharing the joys of the harp.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I really wanted harp music to accompany my wedding ceremony, and as I searched for a harpist, I listened to sample pieces by a few different musicians. Tori’s style was exactly what I was looking for - the beautiful, lilting, classic sound you hear in your head when you think of harp music. I contacted her and we were immediately able to connect to talk about a date, possible music selections, and the booking process. Tori’s communication was thorough yet simple, so even though I didn’t have a wedding planner, I easily understood what I needed to do and when, what I was getting, and how things would work leading up to and including the day of the event. I ended up being a lot more selective on music choices than I thought I would be, and Tori was happy to accommodate all of my requests! Her repertoire is extensive. She even arranged a custom piece for us that was a very special, personal addition to our wedding day. Everything was picture perfect on the day of our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests were super impressed by the live harp music. They said it was so lovely, I wish I had been able to sit and enjoy the prelude with them! In addition to providing the perfect sound, both Tori and the harp were a visually stunning addition to our ceremony. Book her - you and your guests will be in for a treat!

Emerald Ridge made every part of our weekend so perfect and special. This location and views are absolutely STUNNING. The owners truly cared so much and made our day magical. Their organization and communication are both top notch. We recommend using the coordinator at the venue, Malorie, as she was the true MVP and knows every detail at this venue back to front. We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.

Our team provides eco-conscious floral services and candle decor for events. We recognize that not one single style of floral is beautiful to everyone, and we truly enjoy creating various styles, especially the one that fits the client! We buy local as much as possible and are always on the hunt for sustainably grown beauties. We chase the best of the season, often delighting in the underused and less-seen pod, fruiting branch, and oddity. During our region's non-growing season, we source from what is available to us from around the world, always keeping the mindset of the least ecological footprint option first.

Shannon is phenomenal! We used her services for our wedding in December 2020 and she blew us away with the amazing flowers and greenery - everything looked perfect. The cake table decorations were awesome and the arbor bouquets were stunning and included the most beautiful mix of flowers. We could not believe how wonderfully everything came together. Her added touches were so perfect for our intimate wedding! She was also great with communication and helping us stay within our budget. We highly recommend Freckled Petal!

My husband and I got married here on April 21, 2023 and we truly couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding and rehearsal dinner the night before. The staff, the alcohol, the rooftop for the ceremony, the barrel room and main reception room were all just incredible and everything went so seamlessly! We still have friends mentioning that it was the most fun wedding they have ever attended and we feel the same way! Also, the entire Highland team worked so easily with all of our vendors, it made it so nice for me on the day of to know that everything was taken care of. Plus, the beer and wine at Highland were a hit and everybody loved getting to try all of the craft beers. Can't recommend them enough and I wish I could do it all over just to relive that day in such a beautiful space.

They were incredibly organized, calming, and a true delight to work with. Despite another vendor being late, Andrea was able to keep everyone organized and everything running on time, all while keeping me, the bride, calm and delighted.

Gâteaux Owner and Pastry Chef, Lindsay Cromartie, laughs when asked how many years she's been "doing this." Look at the circa 1986 picture to the left for her answer! Professionally, Lindsay has been "doing this" since 2005, when she realized, while still at UNC Chapel Hill, she wasn't cut out for a desk job. From Chapel Hill, to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, where Lindsay prepared herself with a Baking and Pastry Degree. Fortunately, after a year in the "Big City," Lindsay and her family realized "there's no place like home" and returned to Hendersonville, where, after a brief hiatus, she has established Gâteaux.

Gateaux Cakes & Pastries was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the owner Lindsay was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and truly amazing. As a wizard of a baker, Lindsay crafted the most beautiful and delicious groom's cake, wedding cake, cookies, pies, tarts, and macarons for our special day. Everything was a huge hit with our guests - the quality and value of Gateaux's work was outstanding. Lindsay was also so thoughtful in her suggestions to ensure our desserts were exactly what we wanted. I will absolutely be a lifelong patron of this amazing small business. I highly recommend Gateaux Cakes & Pastries to any couple planning their wedding!

ViolinMari was an absolute gem to work with for our wedding. Her communication was above and beyond - she always responded quickly and kindly to any questions I had, no matter how small or large. Mari went the extra mile to learn a special song for our ceremony that wasn't originally part of her repertoire, and even provided sample recordings along the way. She was so accommodating and really made sure the process was smooth for me as the bride. On the big day, Mari's beautiful violin playing was the perfect musical backdrop for our ceremony. She is clearly passionate about what she does and it shows through the care and effort she puts into her performances. I couldn't recommend Mari highly enough - her professionalism, flexibility and music made her an integral part of our magical wedding day.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!
