“My husband and I got married this past September at the Omni Grove Park Inn, and they require a wedding planner. At the time I didn’t realize just how invaluable a wedding planner was. I started looking around for Asheville planners, and came across The Planning. After reading a bunch of amazing reviews and reaching out for a quote, we chose them. We decided to do the month out package as that fit our needs, and we were so blessed to be given Kylie as our main wedding planner and correspondent. Like most brides, although super excited, I was also feeling very overwhelmed and experienced a lot of anxiety leading up to the wedding, especially since we were planning a wedding in another city (we’re from Nashville). From our first phone call with Kylie, she eased my fears and made me feel relaxed and even more excited about our wedding than I originally had been. I completely trusted her. I looked forward to our weekly phone calls starting the month before the wedding, not just because we were getting more things in order, but because I genuinely loved talking to her as well. My parents, who honestly were both skeptical about the need for a wedding planner, were quickly won over and at the end of wedding weekend were wondering how they ever thought it was possible to go without one. Because our venue was a pretty large one and because we had about 135 guests we needed an extra planner, so we ended up having the help of both Kylie and Autumn (who was also incredible) wedding weekend. They were there for our rehearsal the day before the wedding, and all day/night on the day of the wedding right up until we got in our getaway car, and I don’t know what we would have done without them. They helped us figure out the layout of the ceremony, helped everyone understand when to walk, etc, kept track of all of my belongings, kept us on a timeline for the day and night (which was very important for a big group like ours), coordinated with all of our other vendors, helped me make decisions I hadn’t even realized I needed to make, and so much more. Kylie and Autumn were both so kind, organized, level headed, and just fun to be around. They were both so professional and knew when to get down to business, but being around them still felt like being around good friends. Everyone loved them. Both of our families are very large so as you can imagine there was a LOT going on - many different personalities, many opportunities for us all to get distracted - and they handled all of the chaos so well and took everything in stride. Any issues we ran into they quickly and carefully handled. Also, once I got to the altar and we were in the middle of saying our vows, I realized I had left my engagement ring in a public bathroom on the floor we got ready in while I was fixing my dress…after the ceremony Kylie sprinted upstairs and found my ring and quickly became a hero to both my husband and I haha. All of this to say, we could not have had our beautiful wedding weekend without the help of Kylie, Autumn, and The Planning. We could not have had better wedding planners and wouldn’t do anything differently. If you don’t think you need a wedding planner, I can assure you that you probably do, and if you are thinking about hiring them, you should!! The Planning is an amazing business. We wish we could do it all over just so we could hang out with everyone again!”

“Caitlyn was amazing! So attentive to my needs, and made sure everything I wanted came to life. She made the day flow so smoothly, and I would highly recommend her for your wedding needs!”

“I love getting to work with Whitney and her team at Emerald Cut Events. They are professional, organized and so good at what they do! All brides are relaxed throughout the wedding day knowing that Whitney has everything covered for them so that they can just focus on having a fun and joyous day!”

“My husband and I booked Julia as our Day of Wedding Coordinator. From the beginning, she was on top of everything. She has a spreadsheet to help you plan and it provides her the information she needs. We stayed in constant communication via phone calls and texts. She even offered to be involved in all of our final vendor conversations. Just amazing to work with! Julia was a rockstar the day of our wedding though! She took charge and stepped up to make sure we stayed on schedule the best we could and when we couldn’t she found a way to utilize our time by changing the itinerary. She also only came to me with questions if my MOH didn’t know the answers. Scott, her assistant, was super helpful! Having 2 coordinators there made it so relaxing knowing that they had everything handled. You can’t be everywhere as the bride, but I was confident in leaving our wedding to Julia and Scott so we could get ready and enjoy our wedding! At the end of the night, I asked Julia if I could keep her haha she was truly amazing from start to finish! I can not recommend her enough. Our wedding would not have been as spectacular as it was without her! I have already given her contact info to 2 of my guests! I will definitely be reaching out to Julia for any event I plan in the future.”

“Jessica is very proficient and detail oriented. She stepped in and made life so much easier for myself. We talked about decorating and when I walked in to see that she had done something totally different and it was breathtaking. I will never be able to express how truly grateful I am for everything she did to make my day extremely special. And should I mention her husband even left and went to get extra ice buckets.”
