We are Jonathan & Audrey and celebrated our wedding on Nov 3, 2023. We decided to hire Kylie Haslem at The Planning to oversee and guide our wedding planning. Here we are on our...
honeymoon reflecting on the best moment in our lives and it was made possible by Kylie’s incredible attention to detail, consistent communication, joyful spirit and incredible creativity.
Audrey and I are busy professionals and needed a wedding coordinator that could carry the heavy lifting. We enjoyed the follow up and the scheduled check ins to ensure wedding planning aligned to our vision.
We would strongly recommend Kylie Haslem to lead you through one of the most important days for your life!
Thank you Kylie for delivering the most amazing wedding we have ever experienced!
I used The Planning for coordinating my wedding reception and it was a great decision! The communication was very clear once we started working together the last 30 days or so lead...

e was a massive help and truly made our vision come to life!! We would highly recommend The Planning as well as Kylie. She was very helpful and was able to provide ideas, advice and thoughts that we wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She did an amazing job at communicating with our vendors, guests and bridal party as well!
Kylie was a pleasure to work with! She was so thorough and organized. Her bubbly personality kept things from becoming too serious. We’re so glad we hired her to help us with thing...
s a month out. She took off the last minute burdens and did the thinking for us. She took all our decorations and made our vision come to life then broke it all down and packed it all up! Kylie, thank you so much, our wedding would not have been the success that it was without you!
We were so amazed with The Planning's services for our big day! Kylie was our planner and she literally saved the day by picking us up off the side of the highway after we got a fl...
at tire on the way to get ready for our ceremony. She is professional and so kind, and I highly recommend her. We could not be happier with the services we received!
Breanna, Kylie and the team at The Planning did an outstanding job helping with my wedding. I am fortunate to have a little experience in the wedding planning industry but I really...
needed them on my big day. They are professional, sincere, kind and thoughtful. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re on the fence and it’s in your budget just do it. It may be an extra cost on top of a very expensive day but nothing can buy peace of mind and trust that your event will run smoothly without any issues.
We are so thankful we had Breanna as our wedding planner! She was such a calming energy during the planning process and her communication could not have been better! She made sure ...
our vision was there and we really had our dream wedding.
I will say my only complaint about The Planning was that we had 2 different planners before we had Breanna. I am so thankful we ended up with Breanna but it did cause some stress that we shifted from 3 different planners during the process. Things totally come up and we are understanding of that but there was some gap in communication during the shift. I felt like we had to make a lot of the vendor decisions on our own without much insight from the 2nd planner who ended up leaving. That is not on Breanna at all and I am sure she has to pull a lot of extra time to get caught up!
Another consideration with using The Venue was that it was expensive to have any food modifications. I am sure that is common other places but the food cost was expensive if adaptations were made.
We hired The Planning for our day of coordinating of our wedding. Breanna was amazing! Our wedding could not have been any more perfect thanks to them! The execution of everything ...
was so smooth from the morning while we got ready & the ceremony /reception until the end of the night to making sure everyone left with the things they came with! They made my perfect wedding vision come to life and we are so thankful for that! 10/10 would recommend!
I could not be more thrilled with the team at THE PLANNING. My wedding was lead by our coordinator, Breanna Glover. Breanna and her team were professionals along every step of the...
way and were exceptional at timely responses, outreach to vendors and provided exceptional recommendations. If you want to do an event or wedding right - go reach out to THE PLANNING. Your needs will be met and then some.
Wedding planing can be very stressful especially as the date gets closer but not if you are working with Breanna Glover and The Planning out of Asheville NC. My daughter’s wedding ...
day was perfect. No stress, no hiccups, no drama just perfection. Ours was a Covid rescheduled, destination wedding and they helped us choose vendors, made suggestions on hotels, restaurants, rehearsal dinner sites etc. They kept in touch with all our vendors and followed up on even the smallest detail. I highly recommend The Planning
We had to navigate covid reschedules and the craziness that came with it.. but thankfully we had Breanna and The Planning handle everything so wonderfully that it did not take away...
from the fun of the event at all. It was zero stress and every experience we had with them was amazing. Deciding the hire Breanna to come navigate our private ceremony in addition to the party was also one of our best decisions. She rocked it and we didn't have to worry about a thing. She even came by my hotel the day of and picked up some things for us so we didn't have to worry about them. I have nothing but great things to say about this team. They know what they are doing, have their act together, and also will show you how to have a fun time! I wish them all the best.
Without a doubt in my mind, hiring The Planning and working with Breanna Glover may have been the best wedding planning decision I made! The months/weeks leading up to the wedding...
she was extremely thorough and most importantly (to me) responded right away. The wedding itself was seamless, I honestly can't believe how perfect it turned out. On our wedding day she was always 2 steps ahead of me like she could read my mind. She knew what I needed before I even did! I was hesitant to hire a planner because I enjoy it and even went to school for it, but I promise you – this is money well spent. Not only does she know her stuff, she is extremely sweet, professional and down to earth. Having The Planning in your corner is worth every penny, you will not regret it!
Nicole Ellington was the planner for our wedding and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She was amazing throughout the entire process. Very communicative, detailed, and r...
esponsive with us. I know our big day would not have been the complete perfection it was without all of Nicole's hard work!
Maddison was the wedding planner for my daughter's wedding in October at The Ridge in Marshall, NC. We couldn't have asked for a more organized person with such an amazing perky pe...
rsonality to guide us through this special day. Beginning a month before the wedding with all of the phone calls until the end of the reception, Maddison did such an awesome job! She decorated the reception venue in ways we would never have thought of! We all thank Maddison with The Planning!
Maddison and the entire group are absolutely WONDERFUL from beginning to end. Tony and I could not have picked a better venue or planner. They were organized, helpful, honest and e...
asy to work with which is so important when you are trying to plan your wedding. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding the best day of our lives-- We would recommend you to anyone and everyone! Tony & Jess
Our wedding was the most amazing day of our lives and that was fully due to the expertise of The Ridge, The Venue, and The Planning's (RVP's) amazing team. We are SO thankful to ha...
ve had the opportunity to work with Marta, Darian, Kay, Deandra, Amanda and Nicole throughout our planning process and extending into the actual event. I can’t speak highly enough about RVP – their professionalism was impeccable and kept me, as the bride, calm, confident, and organized while also being very efficient.
We made a full wedding weekend out of our event in August 2021. Starting on Friday we had a Chinese Tea Ceremony out on “The Knoll” which is THE most beautiful site. Following that we hosted our Welcome Party at “The Chateau” (which is also part of The Ridge). Our guests were blown away with the event orchestration and the simple elegance and undeniable beauty of The Ridge.
The following day we held our wedding and reception at The Venue. While getting ready my bridesmaids and I utilized “The Loft” – which was particularly charming with warm sunlight pouring in the windows.
Throughout our weekend, our bridal party was chartered around by the RVP Sprinter van. This wound up being perfect and ensured everyone was where they needed to be at the right time. For our actual wedding we utilized the entire space available at "The Venue". We started out by having our ceremony on the Second Floor, guests were then led downstairs for a cocktail hour on the first floor "Market and Mezzanine level" and then finally into the the reception in the back. I loved the way this was done as each room was a bit different and served as a little surprise for everyone! Our reception was catered by The Venue and our guests were blown away with the quality of food and service... Chef prepared a delicious meal with very satisfactory serving sizes (I was extra critical of this as I've been left hungry and unimpressed with the meals at other weddings I've attended!). As a whole, everything was orchestrated with precision and I was beyond thrilled with my wedding both during the weekend and in retrospect!
As for the individuals involved: Nicole was the most amazing planner throughout the process – she tolerated my questions and any last minute changes like a champ! She was always warm, welcoming, and helped to make it the best day ever! Darian, Kay, Deandra, and Amanda were equally wonderful and were able to put together the wedding of my dreams while accommodating and helping me put together exactly what I was envisioning.
I recommend The Ridge, The Venue and The Planning with every ounce of my being! They were wonderful - my husband and I are so fortunate to have been able to experience our dream wedding weekend!
Maddison was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Maddison during both the planning phase of our wedding and the day of. My husband and I faced cha...
llenging circumstances while planning our wedding. One being that we had to plan our wedding at The Venue in Asheville, NC, from Edinburgh, Scotland. Additionally, we only had 5 and a half months to plan our wedding, which for most people is considered really pushing it in terms of the average wedding timeline. Thankfully, we had Maddison on our side!! She found and booked the absolute BEST vendors for us, as well as made sure our vision was communicated to these vendors. She was always in constant contact with us despite her very busy schedule. Day of, Maddison made sure my husband and I experienced zero stress or worry. Her calming presence put both my husband and I at ease, and if she was at all stressed, she did not show it in front of the bride or groom (which is a fantastic quality in a wedding coordinator)!! She got us from point A to point B on time, made sure we were able to eat our food, and was always there to top off of our drink of choice. Because of Maddison, there was not a single hiccup in the day. My husband and I are extremely grateful that we did not have to do any thinking day of so that we could just be present and enjoy each moment. On a final note, the reception space was GORGEOUS! Many of our guests have told us that it was one the most beautiful weddings they have attended and that is in large part due to Maddison’s ability to communicate and help bring our vision to life. Thank you so much Maddison for the most perfect day and a wedding that exceeded all of our expectations :)

rfection. Although I booked the majority of my vendors, The Planning coordinated every detail for prep work, day of details, and event timelines for the vendors and decor. I met with my planners to coordinate day of details, then didn't have to think about it again. Everything was handled seamlessly. Our food and drinks all day, transportation to and from the venue and our stay for the night of the wedding were coordinated. Truly a dream come true. Would recommend The Planning at The Ridge to anyone!
