Couldn't Have Imagined a Better Experience

Shay Brown Events played a *huge* role in our wedding. They managed the venue that we got married at (Asheville Masonic Temple), and also were the wedding planner and coordinator for our event. Our planner, Alex, was fabulous. My husband and I opted for a less traditional wedding with a courthouse ceremony and reception later in the week. To be honest, my husband and I were overwhelmed by all of the details of planning the reception. I am so grateful that Alex took the time to help us understand the ins and outs of working with vendors, things to remember, and ideas to make our non-traditional reception an *absolute smash*. The days leading up to the reception and the throughout the reception, we had full confidence that every detail of the event was handled with grace and composure. Every member of the Shay Brown team was a pleasure to work with, and was so dedicated to creating a special event for their client that I couldn't recommend another vendor more.

Experienced and Artistic

Shay and her team are the best of the best. As a fellow wedding vendor (founder of Carolina Music Planner), I've had the privilege of working with her for years. When it was time to plan my own elopement, I knew that I wanted her by my side throughout the entire process.

Whether you are in need of a venue, venue management, wedding design, or full service planning, Shay Brown Events is the easiest wedding vendor decision you'll make.

Thank you to Amy, Shay, and the rest of the team for years of seamless timelines, events, and finally, a perfect elopement. Cheers!

Shay helped to set the mood for our day, and I can't imagine how the day would've gone without her there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
