Great team, great commununication, even better food and service.
Ashley was extremely easy to work with and responsive. They came to our Airbnb and cooked, cleaned up, served, and had a bartender. Everyone was extremely impressed by the food and service. Would work with them again in a heartbeat! -

We hired Dominique as our month of wedding coordinator and if I could do it all again, I would hire her for full service planning! Seriously. She was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond and helped make our big day the most magical experience. Everything was seamless. We are so grateful that we got to work with her- she was invaluable. -

Adrienne F. Sent on 01/07/2023Hire Smash for your AVL wedding!
We hired Smash as our caterer for our New Year's Eve wedding, and it was a great decision!! They came highly recommended from our venue, Highland Brewing, and as soon as we had our tasting we knew we'd made the right choice. Their food is amazing, they have so many options to choose from, and everything we had was delicious. The "Smash Bash" package is a great deal for everything you get – plates/silverware/napkins/etc, appetizers, salad, entrees, desserts, and a late night snack! Our guests loved all the food and the s'more bar we had for dessert was so much fun. The Smash team is super friendly, professional & easy to work with, and I'd highly recommend them for anyone getting married in the AVL area!Smash Events's reply:
Thank you Adrienne and Family! We loved every minute of working with you. What a fun NYE celebration of love with family and friends. Congrats again. Cheers! xoxo -

Jenna M. Sent on 11/10/2023Incredible - Book Smash!
I am so happy we booked Smash Events for our wedding dinner! From the very start, Ashley was so nice and easy to work with. I knew I wanted a Family Style meal as a way of connecting everyone at tables and "breaking bread" so to speak. Not only did Smash do this wonderfully, it looked and tasted absolutely amazing. The little details did not go unnoticed by my husband and I, or our guests. We got so many compliments on how good the food was, and it can be hard to please 100 people and make sure all dietary restrictions are handled appropriately. Ashley and her team did all of that seamlessly. They also helped us pick out our settings, which were an absolutely dream! We went with the mismatched vintage plates and clear goblets, and It added such a nice tough to our reception. I can't recommend them enough - they were truly amazing and handled everything from start to finish. Thank you so much, Ashley and the Smash Events Team. You are amazing!

I hired Dominique in September of 2019 to plan my June 2020 wedding. You see where this is going...3 reschedules later, we FINALLY had our celebration in September 2022. Dominique was there through every postponement, contract adjustment, guest count change, vendor shakeup, seasonal tweak, all of it. I can't say enough about her flexibility, patience, professionalism, and support through all of that chaos. and our day was PERFECT! Wouldn't have changed a thing, and I know that's due in large part to her work behind the scenes.
We also used Smash for our floral needs, and Ashley nailed it. After 3ish years of planning I was a little scattered by the end, but she kept my vision in check and blew it out of the water. I'd hire both of them again in a heartbeat. -

Susan Sent on 09/10/2022Amazing caterer for a 3-day summer camp wedding!!!
TL;DR: SMASH IS AMAZING! We planned a three-day summer camp wedding and were looking for a caterer who could provide two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners -- all vegetarian. We spoke to a few vendors before settling on Smash. And boy did we make the right decision. From the get-go, Ashley and her team were enthusiastic about our vision. They were game for cooking all of our favorite foods; our meals included tacos, Carolina BBQ, paninis, biscuits and gravy, and an Asian noodle station. Not only was the food delicious, but the service (hi, Liz!) was incredible. They were unbelievably organized, managing to pull off six meals without a hitch, and every single Smash staff member was friendly and helpful. I also really appreciated Smash's commitment to environmentally and socially responsible practices, including paying a living wage and composting food scraps (at our request). I can't tell you how many guests raved about the food (even though most of them were not vegetarian) and the service. We are so grateful to them for making our wedding such a memorable and delicious event -- and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer! -

After doing some research I found Dominique with Smash, and BOY OH BOY did we luck out with that! Dominique is the BEST! Friendly, responsive, incredibly helpful, she handled last minute family requests and changes with grace and aptitude. There is no one better to help you with your wedding.
After deciding to work with Smash for planning we ended up working with them for catering and floral as well. Everyone says that guests never notice your floral, well if you work with Smash that will not be the case, 6 months later I am still getting compliments about their designs. I had given them a general outline of the asthetic that I wanted and they took my vision and brought it to life better than I could have ever imagined. I am so incredibly lucky to have worked with this team.
Ashley and Dominique, we miss you guys! Hope you are doing well and THANK YOU!!!! -

Caroline B. Sent on 06/13/2022So Thankful We Used Smash for our Caterer!
Okay when I say that our guests won't stop talking about our food - I mean it!! If you have been looking for a caterer for your wedding, you can stop here and book Smash. It was a big goal of mine for our guests to be able to enjoy our food at our wedding. We decided to do stations and people ranted and raved about the Steakhouse and Southern Favorites stations. There was plenty of food for all of our guests and people also loved the sliders for the passed appetizers! Ashley and her team are incredible and will make sure that you are happy with your selections. I am so thankful that we used them and will forever be singing their praises! You will also be so happy you hired Smash :) -

I can not recommend Smash Events planning services enough. Dominique took care of my husband and I and all of our wedding needs for over a year! She is the reason my stress levels were so low going into a destination wedding. Her knowledge, support, confidence, and organization skills are impeccable. She, and the rest of her team are truly heaven sent! I told her over and over again that if I could have given her the world, I would have. She made the wedding of my dreams become a reality, and we’re forever grateful! -

Julie B. Sent on 03/07/2022The BEST Wedding Planner!
We used Smash for both our wedding planning and floral and can't recommend them enough! Dominique was so hands on from the start and know we couldn't have pulled off our out of town wedding without her. From helping with vendor selection to ensuring the wedding day went smoothly, we were truly in great hands. Her knowledge and experience at our venue (Highland Brewing) was invaluable and she was always responsive via Zoom or email as we moved through the planning process. Can't recommend Smash enough! -

Kaitlin M. Sent on 11/29/2021Dominique was a dream planner!
Dominique was absolutely incredible! She helped us choose the best team of vendors with our budget in mind and made our vision come completely to light. All of our guests were blown away by how flawless the entire day went and it was 100% due to Dominique. She was completely blended into the backround yet would appear out of nowhere ready to help, my husband said he was outside trying to light a cigar and she popped up out of completely nowhere and helped him. My bridesmaid was helping bustle my dress and suddenly same thing she just popped up and helped. She took all the stress out of planning and was just such a pleasure to work with that she felt like an instant friend. I don't know how anyone could plan a wedding without her. -

Kelly P. Sent on 07/13/2021Amazing every step of the way
I was referred to Smash Events by my wedding photographer, and let me say it was one of the best wedding vendor choices I made. Dominique was an EXCELLENT month-of coordinator, and to be honest, she did so much more work than just the month-of. She was responsive, professional and so very helpful with everything I needed. Best of all is her easy going and calm nature; it rained on our wedding day, and when I was stressed, she kept me sane and everything was beautiful. My personality is such that I don't like giving up control, but Dominique made me feel confident in doing so and really helped the day run so smoothly. We also used Smash for our florals, and Ashley did an amazing job, especially with the ceremony arch and reception space installation. On top of it all, Smash Events is so affordable, which is of course a welcomed surprise in the wedding industry. I cannot recommend working with Smash enough! -

Ashley and Smash Events handled our flowers for our wedding and were recommended by our venue. Ashley was INCREDIBLE. About two months prior to my date I changed my entire vision - she made sure to make me very note and helped me make choices on what would look best. What her and her team created was amazing - it was better than any vision I had. I sent Ashley two ideas and she went above and beyond to make those ideas my wedding. Absolutely unreal - I could not recommend more!Smash Events's reply:
Taylor, you were such a joy to work with! I can’t wait to see pics! Congrats again and thank you for trusting us with your vision. xoxo -

Amazing food and service!
Ashley was so responsive and helpful during the ever changing plans of the Covid-19 crisis. She was accommodating for our tasting. And her food blew our minds. Her menu was diverse and fun! So many different options and styles to go with. We used her for both our wedding and rehearsal dinner. For the wedding we did stations, a taco bar, kids table, and grilled cheese station. There was no shortage of food, the stations were beautifully displayed and so many guests raved about the quality of the food! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. For the rehearsal dinner we had a bbq spread. Sooo good! There was no shortage of food for either event and Ashley offered to box the food up for left overs or donate to a local shelter. Ashley and her staff are an amazing team and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They also have a mobile food truck I would totally recommend trying if you see them in the Asheville area!

We booked Smash for catering, floral, and planning for our Oct 17, 2020 wedding that ended up being in the middle of Covid-19 changes. I am SO glad we went with Smash because they absolutely know exactly what they're doing! I asked Ashley for so many food swaps, alterations to dishes, and even requests that weren't on the sample menu (my extended family are picky eaters) and she was so accommodating and never made me feel like I was asking too much! The floral she designed was also completely gorgeous! Though I never found the ideal bouquet inspiration picture to show her, Ashley somehow created my perfect bouquet and also made a floral clip for my hair which was one of my favorite details of the day!
We also had the pleasure of working with Dominique for planning and she was just as wonderful! She handled so many details, from the big ones like coordinating rentals and running rehearsal to small things like bustling my dress and finding the perfect spot to hang our custom neon sign that we loved. My family kept expecting for there to be things they needed to do throughout the day (you always expect at least a little stress on your wedding day, right?) but Dominique and Ashley handled it all!
If you want the most seamless wedding day possible and to work with such kind and talented people, you need to book Smash! -
