10/10! The flowers were breathtakingly beautiful. I have had so many people compliment the stunning floral swags and the style and arrangements, The color pops brought the entire room together. The bouquets were gorgeous and then wrist corsages even came with little bangle bracelets (so cute). Communication was excellent, they even have an a la cart option which saved us tons of money. Could not be happier that we went with them! Do yourself a favor and book Carolina flowers

  • Serves Swannanoa, NC

I’m Andy Wickstrom and I’ll help you bring your wedding day adventure to life, but document it all in a style that feels authentic, modern and full of emotion. With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Andy as our wedding photographer! From the start, he was very helpful as we laid out a plan for our day - giving us so many great recommendations for the area we wanted to have our ceremony, as well as vendors from the Asheville area. This alone was wonderful, but we were blown away by Andy's flexibility and willingness to work with us when we had to completely change our wedding plans at the last minute due to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene in the WNC area. We ended up moving everything to Colorado, and we are so grateful to the hours Andy put in to find great locations, research how weather could affect us and specific locations at the time of year we were there, as well as thinking of details to make our guests, and ourselves, more comfortable when we weren't thinking of these things at the last minute. Our wedding day in Colorado was absolutely perfect, and the photos are incredible, and we truly feel like so much of that was successful because of Andy's assistance. From the logistics, to being a fantastic photographer committed to getting the best, most beautiful shots for us, to also just being an all around wonderful, kind person to interact with - we can't recommend him enough. Thank you Andy for everything!!

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.

We loved having our big day at Weaver House. We used their full planning services and their catering. Alexandra is very easy to work with and is that calming presence on your wedding day! The venue itself if beautiful - we picked it partly because of the gardens outside since we love the outdoors and love spending time at our local arboretum. The catering was amazing as well - Chef Joey and Chef Brit take time to learn what you and your partner like and can put those spins on dishes you choose. The value is also great for the Western North Carolina area.

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!

If you’re considering Sage & Spice Catering or hiring Tori Frasher as your wedding planner—do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding, hands down. Let’s start with Sage & Spice Catering. The food was unbelievable. Truly, I’m still dreaming about it—and so are many of our guests who went out of their way to tell me how delicious everything was. From passed hors d’oeuvres to our late-night snack station, everything was flawless. The presentation, the flavor, the service—it was all next level. Their team was so much more than caterers—they were kind, attentive, and willing to lend a helping hand outside of their official duties. They were on top of every detail from planning to clean-up and brought such a calm, professional presence to our day. We also used Sage & Spice for our open bar, and they knocked it out of the park. We ordered all our wine through them (super easy), and they helped us create two specialty cocktails that our guests loved. Their guidance on how much alcohol to order was spot-on, and even with just two bartenders, they were so efficient that we never had a real line for drinks. And now for Tori. I could write a novel about how incredible Tori is. She’s not just a wedding planner—she’s a magician. Tori made the entire planning process easy, stress-free, and even FUN. She was always three steps ahead, thought through every detail, and had solutions to problems I didn’t even know I had. Her calm energy and expertise kept me grounded through the entire experience. And on the wedding day, she was everywhere. Coordinating timelines, making magic behind the scenes, and even getting down on the bathroom floor to help bustle my dress. I cannot imagine going through this process without her, and I’m endlessly grateful we had her by our side. Tori and the entire Sage & Spice team are, in a word, extraordinary. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

From the mountains to the coast I've been capturing amazing stories and moments for over eight years now. I absolutely love creating beautiful authentic films of couples and their wedding day. It's an honor really, so I'm always grateful! My goal is to create films that you'll fall in love with over and over again. I defiantly recommend checking out my Instagram, that's definitely a platform where I keep the most updated films and clips I've created, also a great place to find inspiration for the style and vibe of your wedding day. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

From the moment Tim from Be Creative Films arrived, his calm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease. He listened intently to understand what was most important to us on our wedding day, and his honest and efficient communication throughout the process was greatly appreciated. The final video he delivered captured all the special moments and emotions of our celebration in a truly incredible way. The quality of their work is priceless, and they ensured everything was completed on time without any hassle. We are thrilled with the final product and would highly recommend Be Creative Films to any couple looking for a talented and professional videography team to immortalize their wedding day.

At The Studio, we believe in supporting Asheville’s vibrant community of creatives and professionals, offering a space where big ideas can thrive in a way that works for the local market.
