Wedding Connections

me ideas from the beginning. The wedding day was amazing. We had both a Hindu ceremony and Christian ceremony and Nicole made sure the day went as smoothly as possible. It was such a magical day!

person wedding party listened and followed her, and everything ran so smoothly. Day-of, she fielded all questions away from me and my mom, so we didn’t need to worry about anything other than enjoying the day. 10/10 recommend using her to plan your events!

of the night! Highly recommend.

ven just a dose of moral support. She found solutions to countless problems and did so with patience and ease. Leading up to the wedding it was a pleasure partnering with Nicole — I didn’t think it could get any better. Plot twist, it did! Nicole made the wedding of our dreams come to fruition in the most seamless and expertly organized way. I could not recommend Nicole enough. She goes above and beyond.

ride to really enjoy the engagement and the build up to the wedding. On the wedding day, Nicole was indispensable. She is easy to be around, good to bounce ideas around with you, and then proficient in executing what is decided. During the wedding weekend, I heard from many people involved in the wedding that they were impressed with her and appreciated her talent. I would definitely use her again if I had it to do over.

t I have in my mind and even better. This is a life time memory for me. She is amazing! I chose full planning service because I don't know much about planning an event nor do I have time for it. She did most of the things by herself. I feel like I only need to enjoy the moment. Highly recommended!

absolutely blew it out of the water with every aspect of her wedding planning. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, extremely organized and professional in every aspect. I would highly recommend her and consider yourself lucky if you get her to plan and execute your wedding!

the big day. Both Nicole and Sara were very responsive (which I cannot stress enough how amazing this was), extremely well organized, and clear subject matter experts in their field. Their large network of wedding vendors ensured we had the best that was to offer in Asheville. They were also extremely helpful in navigating us through delays because of the pandemic and were with us every step of the way. Through their guidance, we had a wedding that our attendees say was “the best wedding” they’ve ever been to Nicole loves what she does, and the results speak clearly to that. Our wedding day was a work of art, with so many moving parts, all of them expertly managed by Nicole. The best is that through the planning, the delays, and everything else, we gained some amazing friends.

tail truly made my wedding the dream it was. I would have been lost without her. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking. She is incredible!

k in event planning myself so knew I could potentially be a demanding, type A bride, but Holly had every little detail covered and truly put me at ease!! There were a few hiccups during the day/night and she made sure everything went on without a hitch, and overall was such a huge part of making our big day as perfect as it was!!! Would highly recommend Holly and the Wedding Connections team to anyone!!

nd those you may not have thought about! Highly recommend using Sara and her team!!

onded to all of my emails and questions. She kept us organized with budgets, vendors, room blocks, everything! Planning a wedding is a daunting task, and my husband and I felt so relaxed, confident and positive with Sara's help every step of the way. She has such a gift for being kind, friendly and personable while also advocating for you and your needs when communicating with vendors. We are forever grateful to have had the pleasure of being married under Sara's guidance and expert planning. Highly recommend!

ces with whom we were equally thrilled - florists, baker, DJ, rentals, stationer, Website and print designers... But her greatest contribution was communicating with my daughter, my son in law, his parents and my family - some of us wanted the full details, others wanted only the key decision factors and she accommodated everyone in planning the entire weekend. Harmony survived and abides - and budgets were met. Her bright attitude and flexibility made a wonderful and memorable wedding.

as so kind and really gave me confidence that I needed in a wedding planner. I ended up going with month of - day of coordinator as I had done a lot on my own since I was living out in Puerto Rico. I started early and paid for extra hours for specific things that I couldn't just do due to my location. I was honored to work alongside Holly. She was an absolute dream! She is a DYI queen and let me text, email her even at 1 am to tell her an idea, what I needed help with or just to freak out - she was there for me! On my wedding day, Holly turned my visions into a reality and I am just so amazed at how everything turned out. She exceeded beyond what I imagined and I was super relaxed that day because I knew I could trust her. She is the sweetest person and I am so HAPPY with her work, dedication and commitment she had with me. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and company to work with for my special day!

sonalities makes her services extremely valuable. Here's the groom's perspective- Sara worked between my wife, my mother in law, my parents and me. She got a feel for each family member's desired level of participation and tailored her presentations and inclusions accordingly. For example, I didn't need to know about all of the tiny details in the reception. There were a few things that I had an interest in, but I didn't need to be part of all of the planning conversations. Sara picked up on this rapidly and adjusted accordingly, saving my sanity. Can't say enough good things about Wedding Connections.

ur family would have been lost without them through this whole process. We love you Sara!!!

. Upon switching locations to our hometown in Atlanta, however, Sara was ready to take on the challenge in a brand new city, and she did so beautifully! We worked with Sara on the Day-of Wedding Coordination + 25 hours of Communication. Throughout the entire planning process, Sara was transparent with us on budget/costs, responsive to our requests and needs, and made us feel taken care of, listened to, and supported. The month leading up to the wedding, Sara took care of every detail. The Wedding Connections team has literally thought through everything. We couldn't have done it without her. Because nothing goes PERFECTLY on the day of the wedding, I'd like to share a story on Sara's professionalism. During the reception, one of the servers from our catering company suffered from a seizure. Sara worked with the on-site staff and identified a nurse who was attending the event. The Wedding Connections team called 911 and made sure the server was attended to in the meantime. Sara even requested that the ambulance turn off its siren when coming up to the reception site to avoid any alarm or panic. She had her team standing in front of the closed door to divert any attention away from the emergency event. All of this was done without the bride, groom, bride's family, groom's family OR guests knowing that this was happening behind the scenes!! We still felt taken care of, we still felt like everything went off without a hitch. In fact, we didn't even find out until the next day! I think it speaks so highly to how Sara works swiftly, calmly, and thinks everything through carefully. I am grateful for the Wedding Connections team. Our day would not have happened without them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

d for so much more. She came from Asheville to Raleigh twice beforehand to visit our venues and made contact throughout the planning stage, including the week before, with our vendors. She asked the questions we didn't know we needed to ask, helped us with our day-of timeline, and checked in with me often in the weeks leading up to the wedding to help with anything on my mind. It was a wonderful experience! She's like That Girl who happens to fabulous, cool, smart, and plugged-in, but also supportive and always very professional.

g. Throughout the planning process, Sara listened to our ideas and made great suggestions. She steered us to just the right vendors, from the cake bakery to the photo booth to the DJ and the hair stylist! Her knowledge and professional demeanor made it possible for us to enjoy our wedding in ways that we couldn't have without her help. On the day, Sara was seemingly always at hand and yet never in the way, beautifully managing the details so we could spend time with family and friends. Our wedding day was more beautiful and more fun than we had ever imagined. Thanks to Sara, it was also far less stressful than it might have been without her excellent help!

r, I had many opportunities to work directly with Sara during and leading up to the wedding. Her assistance during the event was at once flawless and friendly; her presence, poise, and support were most welcome and appreciated throughout. I would never hesitate to contact Sara for her help or guidance in a future event, and hope to work with her again very soon.

make things run smoothly when that day finally arrives. She works quietly behind the scenes taking care of myriad details, which makes it possible for family and friends to relax and enjoy the festivities. She’s a great listener and communicator and knows everything about weddings. She is awesome! We couldn’t have done it without her!

ise. And in a role most of us would find stressful, she brings an air of calm kindness, light heartedness, and flexibility to the process that left us feeling happy and stress free after each meeting, and most importantly, on our wedding day. For every detail of our wedding, we felt total trust that Sara would bring our vision to life, and she did. She is charming and intelligent, and so was able to nimbly smooth over tricky personalities on both sides of our family while effortlessly managing and collaborating with all of our vendors. She was assertive and persistent when needed (hippie bus service that didn't respond to any calls or emails), and deferential when called for (prickly minister who felt territorial about the leader role). All-in-all, she made our wedding feel perfectly magical and allowed us the space to fully savor the day without getting pulled away to manage the logistics of the event. Hiring her is absolutely the smartest decision we made about our wedding aside from the best decision we made, which was to marry each other.

ite a few things ourselves (self DJ'd, a friend baked a cake, made and assembled all the decor ourselves, borrowed tables from friends) and Sara didn't blink an eye at our DIY plan, it was clear that she was committed to making our vision happen, whatever that looked like. In the week and days leading up the wedding, going over all the details with her left me feeling calm, prepared and ready to let everything go and just focus on getting married! We were planning the wedding from out of town and Sara was really flexible with meeting times to make it work for our travel schedule. It ended up raining nearly our entire wedding weekend , which put a few kinks in our plan for a backyard reception at my fiance's parents house. The wedding connections team came early to set up and was even out in the rain and mud helping to make and keep things as dry as possible. They were completely essential in getting everything set up and ready in time and we would not have had the wedding we had without them! I would recommend hiring Sara in a heartbeat - super professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and such an ally in a stressful and unfamiliar process - not to mention just a lovely person in general :)

edding coordinator was the best decision we made! Her professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication to our wedding vision made it possible for everyone to sit back and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about vendors arriving, décor being setup etc. We had a very specific vision for our wedding day and Sara took the time to understand every detail and made sure things went as planned. The day of the wedding Sara and her team handled EVERYTHING! As the bride, I was nervous and excited to be getting married but knowing that everything about the ceremony and reception were being taken care of kept me from being stressed. She made sure that we (the bride and groom) had everything we needed and that our bridal party and family members knew where to be and stayed on schedule. I was extremely impressed by Sara and her team! We are very thankful for all they did for our wedding! I would strongly recommend Wedding Connections for any bride-to-be!

ion band, ceremony musicians, the videographer and the photographer. Living in Florida, it became quite clear that I needed help finding quality vendors in Asheville for the flowers, linens, bakery, transportation etc. In viewing Sara's beautiful website I discovered that our photographer also had a relationship with Sara and that was it for me. Sara was the one who I knew could make it all happen. In my ignorance, I did not hire her as the wedding planner but over the course of the next 10+ months, I kicked myself for not having done so. Don't make that same mistake - hire her to plan your wedding or event! She and her team worked tirelessly with me - more hours than I deserved, and there was no question too dumb to answer and no problem that she could not solve. Her diplomacy is unfailing, her patience never ending and she is an absolute delight to work with. She has the patience of a saint, responded ever so quickly to any email or phone call I placed and her answers were always spot on. She is an exceptional listener and talked me off the ledge more times than I could count and without a hint of frustration. Sara's connections in Asheville and the surrounding region are with only the most talented and quality organizations, all of whom I consider to be masters of their game - just like Sara. She is an exceptional individual - so talented, trustworthy, responsible and genuinely committed to ensuring your wedding is THE most special day of your life. I really loved working with Sara and now that the wedding is over (and yes, it was spectacular thanks to Sara!) I am missing our communications. Sara is truly the best of the best!!!
