Okay let start off by saying we decided to have our wedding early this year in the mountains as my husband is in the military and his schedule would be changing a lot this year. Yes it was very cold but we loved it! The venue had an awesome view of the mountains and most of our guests stsyed at cabins nerby so very easy. We found this compajy on zola and needed help so we hired them. We had to make changes for our ceremony since we planned to have it outside but decided to move it inside last min because of how cold it was but Cece and Alex made this happen quickly. The caterer showed up a little late but it wasnt too late and the food was great. During one of the dances my dress came apart in the back ans Cece caught it a fixed it!!! I was so thankful for all the little extra details that were done. Cece also helped woth the bar ehen our bartender we hired was a little backed up, Alex was super nice and gave us a little gift at the end of thr night, We couldnt be more happy of our mountain wedding

This place is amazing! Our wedding was in October of 2020 and it turned out beautiful and just about as stress free as you can get. The owner is so helpful sits down with you so she can make everything perfect. The decorations were gorgeous and if you don’t have a DJ, catering, etc. she has recommendations. We planned on getting married at the oak tree, but we had to use our rain plan when it drizzled all day but it worked out perfectly. It was an easy fix and turned out way prettier than I could imagine.

Rocky Top bartending did an amazing job at my wedding! We had Amy as our bartender and she was wonderful in so many ways. Not only was she extremely polite and professional, she also picked up and delivered all of the alcohol to the venue for us! That was a huge stress relief throughout the wedding planning and packing process. She also kept a close eye on my champagne glass, and made sure it was full at all times, no matter where I was.

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!

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.

Hiring Anastasia was one of the best decisions we made for a wedding. She has photographed so many friends of ours and came highly recommended by them, so I already knew she would be amazing. From the sneak peaks, I was already blown away. The gallery felt so natural, smooth and emotional. We instantly fell in love with it. She’s very talented, but she is also an amazing person. She would calm me down, but at the same time make me positive about everything even little details that were beyond our control. I was amazed by her professional and creative view. She definitely sees something that we don’t see. We are so grateful she was part of our wedding and would recommend her to anyone, especially if you are considering a destination wedding in Sevierville and Gatlinburg she truly made our experience unforgettable.

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!

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.
