    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!

    Black Orchid did an amazing job catering our wedding. They were very helpful in answering all our questions leading up to our wedding and flexible with us as we made changes. They picked up from 12 Bones BBQ and had zero issues providing everything we needed. They also set up a Harvest Table for our reception/happy hour and the guests loved it! It was the perfect setup and the timing of dinner and service went very smoothly. Sometimes you go to a wedding and it’s a long wait for food or the food is cold or there’s other issues, but we had zero problems with Black Orchid. Their wait staff was also extremely professional.

  • Black Orchid is my go to event planner!

    I have worked with Heidi and team on 4 separate occasions! The first time was for my Mom's 75th birthday party with a throwback 50s diner theme, my Dad's 80th birthday weekend which included coordinating guests coming from out of town, my team Fall Planning event and finally our family reunion. I cannot speak highly enough for the level of communication, professionalism and creativity that was put into each and every event. The team was simply amazing and took a tremendous amount of stress off of me. Heidi attended to every detail and made all of our guests feel incredibly special. She is a great communicator, detail oriented and will make your vision come to life! I would not even attempt to have an event in Western Carolina area without her!

    Kirin was absolutely incredible and played a huge part in making our wedding day go so smoothly. From the start, she was super organized, calm, and just really easy to work with. She helped take all the stress out of planning and made the whole process feel fun and doable. On the actual day, she was a total rockstar—handling everything behind the scenes so we could just enjoy ourselves and be present. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better planner (or person!) to have on our side. Kirin went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. If you're thinking about working with her, do it. You’ll be so glad you did.
