WNC Weddings & Events

through the area on the wedding day, with lots of rain and potentially high winds. Allison worked with us and the venue to develop multiple contingency plans and alternate layouts for the ceremony, dinner and party. Ultimately the storm turned, and the day before the wedding we pivoted back to the outdoor ceremony that was originally planned and the whole wedding was perfect! Allison returned all texts, emails and calls promptly, and inspired confidence with all parties and vendors involved. She is a total pro and a complete pleasure to work with. Hiring her was the best wedding decision we made!

she made it a breeze for me and had so many great recommendations along the way. I couldn’t recommend her more!

ck weddings with the venue and rental companies and Allison was instrumental in helping us sort it out. I also appreciated her guidance on timeline- she had ideas and suggestions that I would never have thought of!

to do the wedding again, we would 100% be calling them. Thank you!

wing everything was taken care of by her. She is so organized and professional. Would most definitely recommend!

ion we wanted. She guided us through each step of the wedding day, recommended outstanding vendors, frequently communicated with us prior to, and she was calmly present the entire day of the wedding, ensuring everything ran smoothly and giving me the peace of mind to relax and enjoy this special event. She is both professional and a gracious, very likeable person.

Allison very organized with lots of vendor contacts, she has such a calm demeanor and is a joy to work with. Could not be more pleased with her services!

ure we stayed on track with our timeline. She was great at working with our vendors and kept them in line with our wedding day vision. Allison's personality is contagious and made us feel very relaxed and at home. We would absolutely recommend her to any family or friend 100 times over!

e managed to host a formal wedding ceremony and a sit-down-dinner/dance-the-night-away reception on our own property. Doing it at home is not easy, but with Allison's oversight we created an amazing event for the bride and groom, ourselves, and all of our guests. I highly recommend WNC Weddings & Events and would use them again.

it harder and harder to stay motivated, on track, and remain optimistic. We heard through a friend that she procured Allison’s services to plan her wedding, and so we reached out to book a video chat. From the very first few minutes we felt a connection with Allison. She put us at ease, she was knowledgeable and forthright, and she was kind and encouraging… exactly what we needed. We were already shopping around, so we knew what other planners and coordinators in the area could offer. Some felt like they would plan everything, and we would just have to show up, but after my wife and I talked it over we decided that wasn’t what we wanted. Allison helped us pick vendors and suggested options for things we hadn’t even considered; her experience was invaluable. She was there to meet with our vendors in person, she kept in touch with everyone, and her coordination of our day of was perfect. Our day would not have been as perfect and special as it was without her, and so thank you Allison, again, and to anyone reading this: I highly recommend you book Allison for your next event.

thing. Even through all of the challenges (COVID, pouring rain the entire wedding day...) we had THE BEST day! Highly recommend!

ng the planning process and she made sure our day went smoothly. Our wedding day was so relaxing and stress-free because she ran everything from getting ready to ceremony and to reception and working with all our vendors. I am absolutely happy she coordinated our event.

lanning a wedding during COVID, it came with a lot of changes and flexibility. When our original wedding plans fell through we had only little time to spare. In those short moments, we were able to meet Allison and right away she began making our plans a reality. I instantly felt so much relief. Not to mention she is very personable, approachable, and will make your big day everything and more you could hope for.

el like we were a priority and helped us navigate through some very tricky situations (and at times emotions) due to Covid. I loved the way that she worked with us and all of our vendors. We had the most amazing, dream wedding for our daughter and it was in no small part due to the creativity and thoughtful planning with Allison. If there was any hiccup on the wedding day we were completely unaware. Thanks a million Allison! We HIGHLY recommend WNC Weddings and Events!

c and disorganized it was and I decided I wanted someone to help us. I wanted my family to be able to relax and enjoy the day and not stressed out or running around. Allison made that happen for us. She was professional, respectful and a delight to have. She helped me with the finishing touches and made my dream wedding a reality. It was such a comfort just knowing she was there to make sure everything was running smoothly. She was easy to get a hold of prior to the day and was always available when I needed a question answered. I highly recommend Allison and just having the peace of mind that someone was there to help. Thank you!

envisioned. Allison worked with our venue seamlessly, executed our rain plan, and got us where we needed to be on time with a few day of calls. I would hire her again in a heart beat, especially if you have multiple locations like we did. Her vendor recommendations during the planning process were key as we are not full time in the area. She made it easy to enjoy the day!! Thank you, Allison!!

f town! She was great at anticipating things that I had not considered at all. She allowed it to be a care free experience communicating with our vendors in a professional, but effective manner. All though she wasn’t with us on our wedding day, to do another wedding she was with us along the way. Kelley one of her assistants did a great job running our day of. Kelley ensured that everything went smoothly from start to finish, but she was just quietly in the background getting it all done. Thank you so much Miriam & Andrea

ssful time. With many elements of the wedding being DIY, Allison communicated great feedback and ideas on what we might need assistance with. She communicated with vendors in a professional way and really worked to make sure the day went smoothly. We would highly recommend WNC Weddings & Events!

in western South Carolina and I live full time in Ohio. No review I could write would do Allison justice. She helped with vendor suggestions and detailed day of decision making. Every single email I sent was answered within days (but most of the time within hours) of when I sent it which helped me quickly make decisions to move on to the next thing. She kept me on track with monthly updates and I trusted her to make decisions that I didn't have the time or expertise to decide on. Our wedding day was perfect and I know that was in part because Allison was behind the scenes. Do not hesitate to hire Allison, she will be everything you need to make your day as perfect as mine was.

ding weekend, I was totally relaxed because I knew she would handle everything without my ever having to worry. Thank you Allison...you are amazing!

meline and a list of recommended vendors--which is amazing, especially when planning from out of town! She was great at anticipating things that I had not considered at all. She was SO RESPONSIVE via e-mail!! I usually got an e-mail response the same day or the next day. She also was great at communicating with our other vendors in a professional, but effective manner. I felt like she was our voice, which was great as I was an anxious planner and didn't want to ever come off as a bridezilla to our vendors. On our wedding day, she was such an incredible support. She ensured that everything went smoothly from start to finish, but she was just quietly in the background getting it all done. The wedding day was such a whirlwind that having someone there simply to coordinate allowed for me to relax, as well as our mothers the day of. She also got every detail perfectly-she did a lot of set up prior to the wedding. My mother was hesitant to hire a planner, and after experiencing Allison, she cannot recommend it enough!! I could talk all day, BUT HIRE HER!

p so my bridal party and myself could enjoy the day getting ready. She made sure our ceremony and reception went smoothly. She also made an incredible spur-of-the-moment decision to have us take photos in the sunset (which came out sooo amazing!). She was prompt and polite in responding to all my emails and answering any and all questions that came up during the planning process. She also did a superb job at recommending vendors. I would strongly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

ance to visit once. Her recommendations and insight were invaluable to us and our wedding was spectacular! Working with Allison took a lot of the "worry" out of the planning process which could, at times, be very stressful. We highly recommend using WNC Weddings. Thanks, Allison!

ut I can tell you that there were ZERO REGRETS with WNC Weddings and Events. From the very first phone call I had with Allison, prior to any contracts or money being exchanged, she added value to my wedding day by asking practical and thoughtful questions. She was always quick to provide her recommendation when asked, while also reminding me that it's my decision and she will support it no matter what. When it came time for the wedding weekend Allison was always available, smiling, encouraging, and never in the way. We were able to relax and enjoy the moment knowing that if there were any potential issues (ie Who is available to transport gifts from the reception venue? Where did my drink go?) then Allison was handling it quickly and quietly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

n as her. As a professional wedding photographer in NYC I was so very reluctant to hire an event planner/day of coordinator because they tend to hamper my time. However, working with WNC was like heaven. They helped me not concentrate on the little things and not go into wedding photo mode on my day and actually enjoy it. And everything ran so very smoothly! I truly hope that I get to work with them in the future : )

d if you are getting married in Western North Carolina.... choose Allison! Allison is the consummate professional. Her communication is prompt, her advice is sound, and her connections to the area are unmatched. She will guide you throughout the process and provide excellent service throughout. And when it finally comes to the big day... she knows what she is doing! You won't have to worry about anything other than saying your vows. Thank you, Allison!

-notch as well! I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a special event in the WNC area.

f. From the first conversation with Allison I knew she was the perfect person for us. Throughout the process she was responsive, there with suggestions, helpful advice and a listening ear. Even if she didn't have the immediate answer, she had one within 24hrs. The day of the wedding I was completely relaxed because I knew Allison had it handled and for a self proclaimed control freak that was an amazing feeling!

ell as local vendors and resources, that helped this out-of-state bride tremendously. Leading up, she answered all of my questions with patience and honesty. During the rehearsal, she helped us with a rain plan as there was a chance things would have to be moved at the last minute. The day was amazing and I know that we could not have done it without her help. I can't speak enough to the reassurance and comfort we had knowing she was in charge on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Allison and her awesome crew to anyone planning an event/wedding in Western North Carolina.
