Teresa is a life saver

As a wedding planner, I knew the value of having a support system throughout the decision making process, but the amount of stress that Teresa took off my plate is immeasurable. She helped me decide on every detail, created helpful vision boards and documents to share with vendors, and worked so hard to make sure things went as planned on wedding day. Heather was our official Day of Coordinator (also amazing) so that Teresa could spend time with us and enjoy the event she helped dream up - exactly as we requested! It couldn't have been more perfect.

Avail Weddings Review

I got married in November of 2022. My wedding was 3 hours away from where i lived. When I booked my venue Ashley came to visit us. I knew she had to be my coordinator + decorator for my wedding. She is so professional, organized, personable, creative, and overall the kindest person ever. Her team was AMAZING to work for. From calls at the beginning of planning, the day off, and even after my wedding Ashley and her team stayed in direct contact answering all of my questions. Her team helped coordinate my rehearsal as well. She decorated, coordinated, and directed my wedding. Everyone at avail weddings did an amazing job on the day of. I had 0 stress the entire day. I could say so much more about her team, but i would be typing for hours. If you need someone Avail is who you need to use. Very responsive and reasonably priced for what all the offer. You will not be disappointed!

Ashley Taylor
Ashley Taylor
Creative Director & Lead Planner

Ashley began working events with her aunt at the early age of 14. Setting tables, decorating, and serving guests sparked an interest that would lead to a joyous career. She developed a wedding planning guide for WNC at age 17 and fell in love with the industry working with multiple vendors and coaching small business owners while completing her BSBA and MSHR at Western Carolina University. Somewhere along the way, she earned a Pink Cadillac with Mary Kay and developed a passion for building relationships and helping other women feel empowered to make big things happen. She's a natural problem solver and would love nothing more than to make your wedding dreams come true!

In her spare time, she enjoys being present with her kids, Jeep rides to admire the gorgeous Great Smoky Mountains, and live music.

Teresa Vreeland
Teresa Vreeland
Operations Director & Lead Coordinator

With a passion for crafting and creating beautiful things, Teresa began making floral arrangements and designing decor for weddings in 2000. She opened her own shop in 2006 and started coordinating weddings for family and friends. Weddings quickly became her passion as she continued to bring each bride's vision to life. Ashley coordinated Teresa's daughter's wedding in 2019 and the two decided to work together almost immediately. Teresa has been an asset to the Avail Weddings team from the beginning, making every client feel like family. Her contagious personality is sure to keep you laughing!

Outside of weddings, she can be found loving on her grandchildren, crafting and enjoying trips to the lake with her family.

Madison McDonald
Madison McDonald
Communications Director & Event Coordinator

Madison has had a passion for organizing and planning events since she was a child, creating small elements to enrich and bring them to life. In planning her own wedding, she loved watching little details bring the overall vision together while adding personal touches that made her event unique. Madison's favorite part of a wedding is the recessional - seeing two people walk back down the aisle as one, feeling on top of the world, and seeing the nerves completely disappear as they start their journey as husband and wife. She believes our WNC mountains are the perfect backdrop for any event and looks forward to working with new clients to create their dream day.

When she's not working on weddings and events, you can find Madison hiking, chasing waterfalls, gardening and spending time outdoors. She enjoys cooking/baking and spending time with her husband, their baby Barrett, and their furry babes.
