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!

I am a wedding photographer and had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Shelby for a wedding in July of 2025. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and expertise. She was truly on top of every detail, organized, calm under pressure and had an incredible way of connecting with the couple, their families, myself, and other vendors involved which made the day flow seamlessly! Her attention to detail ensured that nothing was overlooked. Her personality flowed perfectly with the day, vendors involved, and the couple. She was able to meet every question with a clear and confident answer which also helped the day run so smoothly. In this industry, it’s truly hard to find someone who can combine such perfect attention to detail with kindness and grace and I have to say The Southern Planner is just that!! Shelby’s skill had the poise, skill, and client experience that perfectly aligns with the luxury wedding space. I have no doubt that she will continue to grow and thrive in the industry and I would be truly honored to work with her again. I would recommend Shelby, without any hesitation, to any couple looking for a planner who can deliver an exceptional, elevated wedding experience.

I can't say enough good things about our wedding coordinator Kate and her assistant! From start to finish, Kate was incredibly organized, attentive, and professional.

Working with Chynna through partial planning was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From day one she felt like a best friend — warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day feel like us. She has such a unique eye for design and style, offering incredible suggestions while fully embracing the things we wanted to do our own way (even the DIY projects many planners try to steer couples away from!). She even went above and beyond by still committing to our wedding after moving from the West Coast back East — a true testament to her dedication and how much she cared about bringing our vision to life. Because she took the time to really get to know us, every detail of the wedding reflected who we are. And when the day-of weather turned terrible, Chynna pivoted instantly and handled everything with such calm confidence that I didn’t have to stress for a single moment. Chynna is creative, steady, stylish, and truly exceptional at what she does. We’re so grateful she was part of our wedding team.

I have received over 1,000 images/videos in content, and still have even more coming! What’s crazy is half the time, we didn’t notice Katelyn there, but she still somehow captured every moment! I love that she wasn’t in our faces or constantly bothering us for photos/videos. This way, we were able to enjoy every aspect of our day! Katelyn truly embodied what being “behind the scenes” means! She was also always there when someone did want to ask for a photo, and always obliged, even when my mom was constantly asking her LOL.

Theresa Marcus, owner of Venue Decor and More, transformed our daughter's dream of a fairytale wedding into a breathtaking reality. We began planning the “Big Day” about 16 months out. From the start, Theresa's ideas only enhanced our own, and her ongoing communication with us was timely, organized and professional. She really listened to our vision for the wedding and reception, and brought the outdoor celebration at Waterstone to life in a stunning way. Theresa transformed the waterside venue, using its a 70-foot waterfall as the backdrop, into the storybook wedding we all imagined. She perfectly captured the woodsy, fairytale vibe -- from the ceremony aisle lined with lanterns, ferns and rose petals, to the rustic arbor covered with whimsical purple-and-sage spring flowers strewn across a sweeping swag, with a meandering meadow at the water’s edge…to the reception featuring vintage dishware and glassware in romantic shades of purple and green on moss-covered tables topped with an assortment of candelabra and fairy lights. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the space, and we couldn't have been happier with Theresa’s work. We highly recommend her to any couple looking to create a truly magical wedding experience.

It was such a privilege working with Kaite and we could not recommend her enough!! Katie was AMAZING to work with and I can’t imagine my wedding experience without her. I hired Katie for partial planning which I am so beyond thankful for because she was the only person who kept me sane through this entire process. I knew I was in great hands after our very first meeting. I was very indecisive on a lot of decisions I had to make, and she was my hype woman through it all and reassured me through every step of the process. She was very meticulous, organized, and knowledgeable. She had no issues with me reaching out and asking questions leading up to her takeover on the 3 month out mark and once she stepped in, it was a huge sigh of relief for me. She was always very quick and prompt to respond to any questions I had. I truly looked forward to speaking with her in our meetings to update her on how everything was progressing/next steps. Our wedding day was seamless, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment with all our friends and families. I am so grateful for all of Katie and her team’s hard work- their dedication and expertise allowed us to enjoy our special day. My wedding was everything that I envisioned and more, thanks to her.

Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris! From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor. Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why. She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE! Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds. My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life. My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend. If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her!

I had a wonderful experience working with Cause We Can Events for a wedding I photographed in Buena Vista, CO. They were direct and kind in their communication, and proved to be great listeners as they helped the client as well as the vendors with ease. The team at Cause We Can Events is highly creative and forward-thinking, with excellent time management skills. They were incredibly supportive and generous throughout the process, contributing greatly to making the wedding day truly special. As a fellow vendor, it's hit or miss on planners/coordinators being truly helpful and Cause We Can Events is a HIT. Book 'em!
