Smash Events: Our Wedding Dream Team

Smash Events was simply incredible to work with. Dominique was our wedding planner. From our first meeting at a coffee shop, we knew she was the perfect fit—calm, cool, energetic, and knowledgeable about the Asheville area with strong connections to local vendors. She kept us on track while allowing us the space to make decisions. We had a seamless experience working with Smash Events for florals and catering as well!

The day of the wedding, Dominique was essential! Despite a huge rainstorm just two hours before the ceremony, she ensured everything was set up perfectly on the rooftop once the storm passed. The entire day—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—flowed beautifully, and she even helped us pull off an epic bubble exit! Thanks to her expertise, we never felt stressed during the process. Dominique's confidence, experience, and great vibes made our wedding truly epic.

As mentioned, we also worked with Ashley from Smash for catering and florals. I cannot tell you how perfectly Ashley met my vision for florals. When I saw the floral arrangements & my bouquet, I truly gasped! They were stunning and were the perfect balance of tropical, lush, and minimalist yet had a fullness that created a balanced and fun look! Plants and greens were artfully woven with vibrant flowers. I couldn’t have loved them more!

Ashely also was in charge of catering and dinnerware! She had a collection of lovely vintage floral plates that were perfection as well as vintage glassware. Our family style meal was timed nicely and our guests commented on how great the food was! Ashley also packed us up a to go meal - this was such a thoughtful gesture since we were honestly having too much fun with guests to fully appreciate the food!

We cannot recommend Ashley, Dominique, and the rest of the smash team more! They truly rock and are a dream to work with.

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire!

We used Smash Events for our month of coordinator for our wedding at Highland Brewing. We made a lot of decisions regarding our wedding but this one was ESSENTIAL to making our day run smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about Dominique. She felt like so much more than a month of coordinator- giving us tips and recommendations throughout our wedding planning process. She was so responsive and kind. As a type A bride I had zero doubts handing things over to her for the day. All of those little details you can't think of or remember for your day? She has all the answers, tips and tricks! Not to mention everyone in the area knows and loves her. On the day of our wedding we just showed up and enjoyed our day in peace knowing she had everything covered. She executed the timeline perfectly and not a single thing went wrong and I owe this to her! Amazing to work with in every way- if you're unsure if you need a month of planner or more... this is your sign to do it, trust me it's worth every penny!

Month of Planner was the best Decision we made for our wedding and Food was DELICIOUS

My partner and I hired Dominique for month of planning for our wedding. From the moment we interviewed her, Dominique made us feel at ease and excited about our wedding day. She was prompt to respond and always had a solution to any problem or question that arose. She was kind and respectful to my family that had many questions throughout the planning process. Dominique provides you with a planning site that offers great structure and guidance for the planning process. She makes the day flow seamlessly and alway checks in to make sure it's going according to your vision. If you want a smooth wedding you need Dominique! You won't regret it!

Ashley and the catering team did a phenomenal job with our wedding menu. They helped us coordinate family differences in opinion when planning and were always quick to give us suggestion on how to elevate our guests dining experience. Ashley is extremely organized and prompt in her responses. She made us feel at ease and that everything was covered food wise for our guests. She ensured that every dietary restriction was met with a special meal ensuring no one was left out or went hungry. On the wedding day the service was spectacular. Our guests were all impressed and had so much praise for Smash.

Working with Smash Events was an absolute dream! What an amazing team! They handle catering, florals and decor as well as planning for weddings. They can book independently from each other, but what a great combination of talents that work seamlessly together to ensure the entire event goes off without a hitch. We worked with Ashely and Dominique from start to finish and they were always on the ball and generally a step ahead which truly makes a huge impact on a wedding day. We highly recommend Smash Events and know you will not be disappointed!
