The Mustard Seed Venue was breathtaking! It was so cozy and was perfect to accommodate all of us. I am an outdoor person and so I was right at home. Katherine and Wendell were so helpful and I felt like I’ve known them for years. They were also helpful because we live in Buffalo NY, and they helped us so much with other planning and recommendations etc. It took so much stress off of us. Since I love cooking and baking, it was my dream kitchen and pantry! I wish I could bring it home with me! I brought homemade cookie dough that I made at home to bake there. I also brought a frozen homemade wedding cake and frosting to finish the job over there in their absolutely cozy pantry! Baking the cookies there with my other daughter, who was the maid of honor, made it a very, very memorable family time for me. I will cherish the memories that we had there forever from the day before the wedding all the way to the day after the wedding! The weather also cooperated perfectly! The day was just so blessed! Thank you so much for these cherished memories. Sincerely, Becky Deer

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.

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!!!

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.

We celebrated our wedding at Trillium venue in Sevierville TN, they offered me list of photographer but I decided to search myself and after 3 phone consultations I found Anastasiia. From the very first moment we talked with her I knew we were in good hands! Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident throughout the whole process. She excels at her craft, takes her time and brought the best of us in each photo. If you’re looking for a photographer with a great personality and who will go above and beyond to make sure you get the best pictures look no further! She had a second shooter with her, that girl was taking care of the grooms bridal party and guests, everyone complimented us on both of them, as they made everyone feel their best! Grateful that we found her and will be returning customers when we visit the smoky mountains!

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.

If you're reading this and trying to decide on bar services or staffing for your event, STOP LOOKING! THIS IS THE ONE! Heidi and Tristen are the most wonderful, creative, and kind people and they make delicious drinks to boot! After finding Black Orchid on our wedding planner's vendor shortlist, I am so, so happy we chose Black Orchid for our wedding. Even before we signed a contract, Heidi was so helpful in sharing experience and industry knowledge - my partner has worked in the restaurant industry and has been an amateur cocktail connoisseur since COVID times, and he felt so comfortable in their first meeting that we booked them immediately. Heidi was enthusiastic about planning our signature cocktails alongside us - even making a black walnut syrup from her own tree to use in our old-fashioned AND juicing carrots for my gin cocktail!! Helene hit a month before our scheduled wedding date, and (second to our venue - s/o Twisty Maple!!) Black Orchid was the vendor we knew we couldn't move forward without. Luckily, after communication was re-established, Heidi was flexible and we worked with her to reschedule. Once our second date got closer, my partner and I visited WNC to get back into the wedding spirit and Heidi and Tristen *came to our AirBnB* to sample our signature cocktails. They became fast friends and we chatted for hours! On our wedding day, it felt so special to have both Tristen and Heidi (as well as their staff) working our event. Professional and poised, they brought the perfect calm energy that we wanted to our small and personal celebration. I highly recommend reaching out to Black Orchid for your event. You won't regret it. Tell them Jade and Sam sent ya!

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. Check out our website for more details!

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!

If I could give The Trillium Venue more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I always dreamed of getting married at a mountain venue, and from the moment I found The Trillium, I knew it was the one. It was actually the only venue we looked at—we booked site unseen and didn’t even visit until a couple months later, but somehow we just knew. From start to finish, Sydney and the entire team were incredible. Everyone was so friendly, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. They answered all of my questions, provided amazing vendor recommendations, and had beautiful rental options that made planning so much easier. The cabins right across from the venue were perfect and made everything so convenient for us and our guests. The getting-ready spaces were gorgeous, spacious, and such a fun place to spend the morning getting ready. The entire property is stunning and so well-maintained. All night long, our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was and saying it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Choosing The Trillium was one of the best decisions we made, and I wish we could relive that day there all over again. Highly recommend to any couple dreaming of a beautiful mountain wedding.

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! It was the most magical day a bride could’ve ever asked for

Hi I’m Sav and I do things differently :) I offer digital, film, & super 8! I’m a full time lover girl and have been photographing love stories since ‘21! I’m a cinematic/documentary style photographer based in East Tennessee but I’m all over the globe documenting true love. I’m a wife, mom and lover of Jesus. I love people SO much it hurts and weddings are so special to me. So welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here :)

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way. Savanah's work is truly of the highest value, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
