“My husband and I eloped in the Smokey Mountains and Kayla captured our day perfectly!! We had never had professional photos taken before our wedding day so we both felt very awkward and out of place. Kayla had so much energy towards us that after only 10 minutes we felt so much more comfortable. She made our photo session so much fun and it truly showed in our photos! I absolutely love all of the photos we got back and have received tons of compliments on them! I would work with Kayla again in a heart beat!!!”

“The folks at Cardinals Nest were absolutely amazing! They let us stop by a few times to check out the venue and walked around with us to show all of the fixes they were doing. They were genuinely so sweet and welcoming and it was great to have their experienced input on how we should decorate and arrange the space. We had some bad weather the morning of so we unfortunately had the walls of the tent down but they actually opened it up for me once the rain passed because they knew I wanted to! Even with the rain the venue managed wonderfully with a pavilion for the ceremony and the tent for the reception.”

Black Orchid Events is a local WNC event production company specializing in event planning, bar and event staffing in and around Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Highland, Cashiers, and beyond. Based in Western North Carolina we have extensive knowledge and experience in the area. Our team has long-standing relationships with local vendors, venues, breweries, restaurants, and attractions. We can help you find the perfect vendor team to plan an unforgettable event that fits your budget and personal style.

“Kirin & Heidi stood out from the many wedding coordinators I considered because they were the only ones who got me really excited to plan my wedding. I was anxious about planning a 5-day destination wedding that was 4 hours away from where I lived. A wedding where all 50 of my guests were flying and driving from out of town. But Kirin & Heidi's expertise, organization, knowledge of the area, and overall excited energy helped me through a very long year of planning. They were responsive to all my emails, and from the second I booked them they took the initiative to schedule meetings with my venue and vendors. We did video calls for things I could not be in person for and relied on their eyes and taste to help me select things. Despite the distance, it was easy to connect and sync. On wedding day, we simply got to relax and enjoy. It was clear that Kirin & Heidi had my back. Despite my vague, minimal instructions, they did an absolutely beautiful job setting up the ceremony and reception area. If I needed or wanted anything, I only had to say it once and it simply happened. They were SO sweet to our family and guests. When you have a small wedding like we did, the presence of the people who are working at the wedding can be felt. And they fit in as if they were part of the family. Kirin & Heidi - thank you for turning our abstract ideas into a beautiful reality. You helped me make a meaningful day something truly special. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!
