“The venue was perfect for our beauty and the beast themed wedding! The director of sales was so helpful from start to finish? She communicated everything before the day, was available on rehearsal day and understanding when I wanted to do a run through like 10 times LOL. The day of the wedding was perfect and more than we could’ve ever asked for! My mom did all the decorating and catering and the tremont was there to help every time she needed!

“The Mustard Seed Venue was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick and efficient. The entire venue was beautiful, from the cabin for the reception to the ceremony site. I think the fact that the owner, Kathryn, took it upon herself to help dry seats for guests because it started raining just shows how much they care. The staff is super kind and the stay was great. It was literally exactly what we both wanted for our big day. The kindness they showed and the fact that we could reach out and immediately get a response was wonderful.”

“I can’t say enough about how great Black Orchid is for event service and catering. I had them cater my cocktail hour and heard endless compliments about how great the appetizers were, and they really were! I was so glad one of the awesome servers came and brought my husband and I a few servings, which was so thoughtful! They then helped service our reception with food we ordered from 12 Bones, which was excellent as well. We felt so cared for, having food brought to us and asking how we were doing throughout our wedding. I spoke a lot with Heidi before our event and she was an absolute joy to communicate with. In fact, she helped me figure out pretty much everything we needed for the cocktail hour and reception. Anything she recommended I immediately clicked add to cart and trusted her advice wholeheartedly, and I’m so glad I did. Everything was amazing and exactly what I hoped for.”

“The Loralei Inn was the right choice for our wedding. She and her team were incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and stayed on top of every detail—we literally didn't have to lift a finger. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with a picturesque setting that made for the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What really blew us away was how they handled all the small touches that made our day feel so special and personal. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how welcomed and cared for they felt throughout the night.

“My partner and I worked really hard to bring together wedding vendors that fit with our intentions for a personal and intimate wedding. Leah was an absolute perfect fit!! Relaxed, friendly, and kind, Leah brought much needed peacefulness to the day and captured beautiful moments that I will cherish forever. I knew I wanted documentary-style photographer because I didn't want to spend my wedding day shuffling around for the perfect shot. I wanted someone to be a fly on the wall, taking photos that represented the true emotion and energy of the ceremony and celebration. When we met with Leah, she was genuinely interested in getting to know Sam and I as a couple and individually. We felt like we were collaborators, not just clients. When WNC was affected by Helene, Leah was the only vendor we were able to communicate with and so she became our boots-on-the-ground, giving us information and helping us to make the decision to postpone our wedding a year. 364 days later, Leah arrived onsite and immediately brought a calming energy: sweeping through family photos, knowing there was a bit of tension; snapping a quick photo and then flitting away for my partner and I to have some alone time; and deftly navigating the many folks that approached her for group photos during the reception. Our photos were delivered via email on Christmas Eve, perfect timing to peruse through with visiting family. The images were everything I wanted and more. Leah's talent is astounding and I'm so glad that she was part of our day.”

“Absolutely stunning venue. From the moment I found this venue, I was so excited. Patricia was so communicative and answered all of our questions. We even had the opportunity to view the venue, and well, it’s even more beautiful in person. The reception hall, the cabin itself, and the deck with a view, it’s all so amazing. My wedding itself turned out so wonderfully with all of my vendors. We did end up having our ceremony and reception outside on the deck, for more dancing room. We had 60 guests and it was perfectly spaced out and just wonderful. There is so much decor that Patricia allows you access to, and her website easily shows you a lot of it. I 1000% recommend this venue. We loved it and our guests loved it!”

My work is defined by the intersection of European art influence and American classics. I offer a highly intentional, elevated approach to wedding photography — one that prioritizes both aesthetic excellence and emotion. With a bilingual background and experience working with international clientele, I easily find the right approach to my clients needs. Through a balance of intuitive direction and unobtrusive observation, I capture both the grandeur and the quiet, fleeting moments that others often miss. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, sophisticated, and deeply personal.

“One of the biggest decisions you’ll make for your wedding day is choosing your photographer—and let me tell you, Anastasiia is truly the best of the best. She is thoughtful, intentional, caring, and incredibly kind. Not only will she give you the most beautiful photos you could imagine, but she also has a way of making your entire day feel even more magical because of the vision she has in her head. Our wedding gallery full of moments we didnt even knew she is capturing along with some creative shots, and that made it even more special to us, because that takes more than just being a photographer but talent. Her talent is unmatched, and her ability to capture every moment so seamlessly and beautifully means you’ll have the most incredible memories to look back on for years to come. I feel extremely glad to have worked with her—and you will too.”

Hey there! We are a team of event planners located right in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains. We are driven by our desire to create celebrations uniquely personal to your love stories. Our teams also provide videography and custom event stationary.

“I planned a destination wedding in Tennessee and it would not have been possible (no exaggeration) without Whitney and her team at Emerald Cut Events! Unfortunately, our selected venue did not effectively communicate with me before or during the wedding but I was so grateful to have someone on my side. Whitney went above and beyond to execute everything we had planned and make our day special. Even in the pouring rain, Emerald Cut Events impressed me, my husband, and our families with their dedication and determination. When your wedding coordinator is willing to hijack a golf cart for you because your venue left you stranded minutes before the ceremony, you know you chose the right person! If you are looking for a team that cares about your special day and is hard working and reliable, pick Emerald Cut Events. Choose them, you will love them!”
