om selecting vendors to logistics to answering every question we could think of, Allison was thoughtful, responsive, professional, and a joy to work with. She is incredibly organized and made sure our big day went off without a hitch. We cannot recommend WNC Weddings enough!
Allison and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. She is extremely responsive and takes the time to provide detailed responses addressing any and everything you need to ...
know. If Allison is on it, there will be no problems and no worries; you can show up and have the best day of your life while she manages everything and ensures it all runs smoothly. She knows ALL of the vendors in the Cashiers area which was wonderful as they were comfortable and familiar with working together. Even more of a reason to not have to worry! She is worth every penny and so reasonably priced. An absolute MUST!
I would highly recommend WNC weddings. Allison Taylor was an absolute gem to work with. She is very organized and paid special attention to all the details. She was very patient wi...
th me and politely would continue to tell me the things I needed to get done. She was very personable and professional at the same time. My daughters wedding would not have been the success. It was without Allison. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease, knowing that she and her team were taking care of things. I would 100% recommend WNC Wedding for your wedding coordination.

anning process, so that I could enjoy the planning rather than stress. When it came to the day of... just WOW. We had a few hiccups day of ( none of them the venue or Allison's fault), and by the time I arrived to the venue every issue was solved. Allison and Nicole were both so attentive to my husband and I from the moment we arrived at the venue to the moment we left. It was almost like they could read our minds - they had food waiting for us when we were too excited to eat but needed to, they pulled us away from guests when they could tell we needed a moment together, our drinks were never empty and they kept us on track with the timeline the whole night so that my husband and I could just enjoy the moment. WNC made our special day absolutely perfect!
Allison and Jennifer are incredible! I could not have made it through the wedding planning process without them. They are professional and kind and always willing to jump on a phon...
e call to discuss something. Cannot recommend them enough your any event. Thank you so much for everything WNC Events!
Allison was everything we could hope for and absolutely instrumental in what was a dream wedding! The week prior to the wedding, the weather forecast was for hurricane Ian to come ...
through the area on the wedding day, with lots of rain and potentially high winds. Allison worked with us and the venue to develop multiple contingency plans and alternate layouts for the ceremony, dinner and party. Ultimately the storm turned, and the day before the wedding we pivoted back to the outdoor ceremony that was originally planned and the whole wedding was perfect! Allison returned all texts, emails and calls promptly, and inspired confidence with all parties and vendors involved. She is a total pro and a complete pleasure to work with. Hiring her was the best wedding decision we made!
Allison was amazing to work with and guided me through the whole process of wedding planning. I really had no idea what I was getting myself in to in terms of wedding planning but...

ion we wanted. She guided us through each step of the wedding day, recommended outstanding vendors, frequently communicated with us prior to, and she was calmly present the entire day of the wedding, ensuring everything ran smoothly and giving me the peace of mind to relax and enjoy this special event. She is both professional and a gracious, very likeable person.

Allison very organized with lots of vendor contacts, she has such a calm demeanor and is a joy to work with. Could not be more pleased with her services!

ure we stayed on track with our timeline. She was great at working with our vendors and kept them in line with our wedding day vision. Allison's personality is contagious and made us feel very relaxed and at home. We would absolutely recommend her to any family or friend 100 times over!

e managed to host a formal wedding ceremony and a sit-down-dinner/dance-the-night-away reception on our own property. Doing it at home is not easy, but with Allison's oversight we created an amazing event for the bride and groom, ourselves, and all of our guests. I highly recommend WNC Weddings & Events and would use them again.
Pandemic weddings are a difficult thing to plan and execute. My wife and I had a small ceremony in 2020, and postponed the celebration to 2021. As the date grew closer, we found ...
it harder and harder to stay motivated, on track, and remain optimistic. We heard through a friend that she procured Allison’s services to plan her wedding, and so we reached out to book a video chat. From the very first few minutes we felt a connection with Allison. She put us at ease, she was knowledgeable and forthright, and she was kind and encouraging… exactly what we needed. We were already shopping around, so we knew what other planners and coordinators in the area could offer. Some felt like they would plan everything, and we would just have to show up, but after my wife and I talked it over we decided that wasn’t what we wanted. Allison helped us pick vendors and suggested options for things we hadn’t even considered; her experience was invaluable. She was there to meet with our vendors in person, she kept in touch with everyone, and her coordination of our day of was perfect. Our day would not have been as perfect and special as it was without her, and so thank you Allison, again, and to anyone reading this: I highly recommend you book Allison for your next event.
Allison was fantastic to work with! She was a great communicator along the way and was always quick to respond. She was so amazing on the day of that I didn't have to think about a...
thing. Even through all of the challenges (COVID, pouring rain the entire wedding day...) we had THE BEST day! Highly recommend!
Allison was so great to work with. She was the event coordinator to my now sister-in-law's wedding years ago so she was a no-brainer for our pick. She helped us stay on track duri...
ng the planning process and she made sure our day went smoothly. Our wedding day was so relaxing and stress-free because she ran everything from getting ready to ceremony and to reception and working with all our vendors. I am absolutely happy she coordinated our event.
Allison was absolutely amazing in every way! Could not recommend a better person to coordinate your special day! If you want a stress free experience look no further. As a bride p...
lanning a wedding during COVID, it came with a lot of changes and flexibility. When our original wedding plans fell through we had only little time to spare. In those short moments, we were able to meet Allison and right away she began making our plans a reality. I instantly felt so much relief. Not to mention she is very personable, approachable, and will make your big day everything and more you could hope for.
I am SO grateful that we chose WNCWeddings and Events (Allison) as our wedding planner! Allison is very organized, professional, knowledgable, and personable. She always made me fe...
el like we were a priority and helped us navigate through some very tricky situations (and at times emotions) due to Covid. I loved the way that she worked with us and all of our vendors. We had the most amazing, dream wedding for our daughter and it was in no small part due to the creativity and thoughtful planning with Allison. If there was any hiccup on the wedding day we were completely unaware. Thanks a million Allison! We HIGHLY recommend WNC Weddings and Events!
When I started to plan I initially did not want a day of coordinator or planner. About six months prior to our wedding we went to a family members wedding and witnessed how chaoti...
c and disorganized it was and I decided I wanted someone to help us. I wanted my family to be able to relax and enjoy the day and not stressed out or running around. Allison made that happen for us. She was professional, respectful and a delight to have. She helped me with the finishing touches and made my dream wedding a reality. It was such a comfort just knowing she was there to make sure everything was running smoothly. She was easy to get a hold of prior to the day and was always available when I needed a question answered. I highly recommend Allison and just having the peace of mind that someone was there to help. Thank you!
Allison was the best choice we made in wedding planning, we DIYed quite a bit (my mother even made our grooms cake), so we were nervous about getting everything set up the way we ...
envisioned. Allison worked with our venue seamlessly, executed our rain plan, and got us where we needed to be on time with a few day of calls. I would hire her again in a heart beat, especially if you have multiple locations like we did. Her vendor recommendations during the planning process were key as we are not full time in the area. She made it easy to enjoy the day!! Thank you, Allison!!
Allison was wonderful from the beginning. From the day we hired her, she gave us a timeline and a list of recommended vendors--which is amazing, especially when planning from out o...
f town! She was great at anticipating things that I had not considered at all. She allowed it to be a care free experience communicating with our vendors in a professional, but effective manner.
All though she wasn’t with us on our wedding day, to do another wedding she was with us along the way. Kelley one of her assistants did a great job running our day of.
Kelley ensured that everything went smoothly from start to finish, but she was just quietly in the background getting it all done.
Thank you so much Miriam & Andrea
Allison with WNC Weddings & Events was our weekend coordinator for our Summer Camp wedding and we are so happy to have had her guidance and assistance during this exciting and stre...
ssful time. With many elements of the wedding being DIY, Allison communicated great feedback and ideas on what we might need assistance with. She communicated with vendors in a professional way and really worked to make sure the day went smoothly. We would highly recommend WNC Weddings & Events!
As with many brides, I hesitated at the beginning of the planning process with the decision about whether or not I needed a wedding planner. I was planning a destination wedding ...
in western South Carolina and I live full time in Ohio. No review I could write would do Allison justice. She helped with vendor suggestions and detailed day of decision making. Every single email I sent was answered within days (but most of the time within hours) of when I sent it which helped me quickly make decisions to move on to the next thing. She kept me on track with monthly updates and I trusted her to make decisions that I didn't have the time or expertise to decide on. Our wedding day was perfect and I know that was in part because Allison was behind the scenes. Do not hesitate to hire Allison, she will be everything you need to make your day as perfect as mine was.
WOW! Allison is the best! Her recommendations and organization were spot on. She was always quick to respond while being practical and thoughtful. When it came time for the wed...
ding weekend, I was totally relaxed because I knew she would handle everything without my ever having to worry. Thank you Allison...you are amazing!
Where to even start?! Allison was wonderful from the beginning. She had worked our venue before, and we immediately felt taken care of. From the day we hired her, she gave us a ti...
meline and a list of recommended vendors--which is amazing, especially when planning from out of town! She was great at anticipating things that I had not considered at all. She was SO RESPONSIVE via e-mail!! I usually got an e-mail response the same day or the next day. She also was great at communicating with our other vendors in a professional, but effective manner. I felt like she was our voice, which was great as I was an anxious planner and didn't want to ever come off as a bridezilla to our vendors. On our wedding day, she was such an incredible support. She ensured that everything went smoothly from start to finish, but she was just quietly in the background getting it all done. The wedding day was such a whirlwind that having someone there simply to coordinate allowed for me to relax, as well as our mothers the day of. She also got every detail perfectly-she did a lot of set up prior to the wedding. My mother was hesitant to hire a planner, and after experiencing Allison, she cannot recommend it enough!! I could talk all day, BUT HIRE HER!
Absolutely amazing! I cannot thank Allison with WNC Weddings and Events enough for making sure that our wedding went off without any problems. She handled all the vendors and set u...
p so my bridal party and myself could enjoy the day getting ready. She made sure our ceremony and reception went smoothly. She also made an incredible spur-of-the-moment decision to have us take photos in the sunset (which came out sooo amazing!). She was prompt and polite in responding to all my emails and answering any and all questions that came up during the planning process. She also did a superb job at recommending vendors. I would strongly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
Our wedding in NC was a destination wedding and we chose WNC Weddings to help us. Allison was always available and helpful as we weren't so familiar with the area and only had a ch...
ance to visit once. Her recommendations and insight were invaluable to us and our wedding was spectacular! Working with Allison took a lot of the "worry" out of the planning process which could, at times, be very stressful.
We highly recommend using WNC Weddings. Thanks, Allison!
Decision fatigue is a very real thing while planning a wedding and at each step I found myself thinking "I hope I don't regret selecting this [insert vendor/decision/menu item]!" B...
ut I can tell you that there were ZERO REGRETS with WNC Weddings and Events. From the very first phone call I had with Allison, prior to any contracts or money being exchanged, she added value to my wedding day by asking practical and thoughtful questions. She was always quick to provide her recommendation when asked, while also reminding me that it's my decision and she will support it no matter what. When it came time for the wedding weekend Allison was always available, smiling, encouraging, and never in the way. We were able to relax and enjoy the moment knowing that if there were any potential issues (ie Who is available to transport gifts from the reception venue? Where did my drink go?) then Allison was handling it quickly and quietly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
I had the weirdest chance and luck finding WNC Events. Turns out that Allison, who is so insanely helpful and responsive, is friends with my family who lives in the same little tow...
n as her.
As a professional wedding photographer in NYC I was so very reluctant to hire an event planner/day of coordinator because they tend to hamper my time. However, working with WNC was like heaven. They helped me not concentrate on the little things and not go into wedding photo mode on my day and actually enjoy it. And everything ran so very smoothly! I truly hope that I get to work with them in the future : )
Our investment in Allison's services delivered the most value to our wedding of all our wedding purchases. If you are debating whether or not to use a wedding planner.... do it! An...
d if you are getting married in Western North Carolina.... choose Allison! Allison is the consummate professional. Her communication is prompt, her advice is sound, and her connections to the area are unmatched. She will guide you throughout the process and provide excellent service throughout. And when it finally comes to the big day... she knows what she is doing! You won't have to worry about anything other than saying your vows. Thank you, Allison!
Allison is AWESOME!!! She tailored her planning services to fit our needs perfectly! She was available, attentive, and a true professional! All the vendors she recommended were top...
-notch as well! I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a special event in the WNC area.
Saying Allison was exactly what I needed is an understatement. I plan for a living and when I was looking for an event coordinator I needed someone as detailed & organized as mysel...
f. From the first conversation with Allison I knew she was the perfect person for us. Throughout the process she was responsive, there with suggestions, helpful advice and a listening ear. Even if she didn't have the immediate answer, she had one within 24hrs. The day of the wedding I was completely relaxed because I knew Allison had it handled and for a self proclaimed control freak that was an amazing feeling!
We were so grateful to have Allison's services leading up to and on our wedding day. She was an incredible ally - a sounding board with great insight on the Western NC region, as w...
ell as local vendors and resources, that helped this out-of-state bride tremendously. Leading up, she answered all of my questions with patience and honesty. During the rehearsal, she helped us with a rain plan as there was a chance things would have to be moved at the last minute. The day was amazing and I know that we could not have done it without her help. I can't speak enough to the reassurance and comfort we had knowing she was in charge on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Allison and her awesome crew to anyone planning an event/wedding in Western North Carolina.
Allison was very helpful in my day of planing! Helped me with things I wouldn’t have thought about and was on top of organization for the rehearsal and the wedding!
