Best Wedding Planner in the Mountains!

Allison and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! We hired her for our daughters wedding in Lonesome Valley in June and from the very first moment we talked, she more than exceeded our expectations. From the early planning days she provided us with recommendations for all our vendors, reviewed all our contracts and made numerous recommendations and suggestions on things we should consider. She was there with us from the day we started planning until the new bride and groom left the event. Everyone we’ve talked to said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We would HIGHLY recommend WNC Weddings and Events to anyone who is looking for a truly professional event planner.

Wedding 6/1/24 - HIRE THEM!!

Allison and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. She is extremely responsive and takes the time to provide detailed responses addressing any and everything you need to know. If Allison is on it, there will be no problems and no worries; you can show up and have the best day of your life while she manages everything and ensures it all runs smoothly. She knows ALL of the vendors in the Cashiers area which was wonderful as they were comfortable and familiar with working together. Even more of a reason to not have to worry! She is worth every penny and so reasonably priced. An absolute MUST!

Everything you will want in a planner

Allison was exceptional to work with. We worked with Allison over the course of ~12 months to plan our wedding in March 2024. Over that period she was always extremely responsive and professional as well as happy to give recommendations on any wedding-related questions, even if they did not fall directly into her purview. She also had a great list of recommended vendors, walked through pros and cons and past experiences with each if asked, and provided tailored / additional recommendations based on our wedding size, location, budget, etc. Additionally, Allison made keeping track of planning items and timeline very easy by routinely providing status updates and calling out near-term decisions that needed to be made.

Furthermore, Allison was super helpful in managing our relationship with our wedding venue coordinators. She was very attentive, joined all of those calls, and kept track of key details and contract items throughout the process.

Where we really felt that Allison stood out though was in the week leading up to and the day of the wedding. Behind the scenes Allison ensured all the vendors were coordinated, prepared, and would be on time - we did not even get those email or have to worry about that at all. Finally, on the day of, we had absolutely nothing to worry about except enjoying our wedding. Everything seemed to magically appear throughout the day, and everything was exactly as planned and exactly how we wanted it. From overall timing, to décor, the ceremony, and all the minor details, everything was taken care of.

When we first started this process, we were skeptical of the value of a planner, especially full service, but we can say WNC Wedding & Events is a 100% worth it, and we would 10/10 recommend Allison and her team - she will ensure your wedding day is exactly how you want it to be.

Allison Taylor
Owner

I started planning events in 1998, while working for a marketing company. The first wedding I planned was in 2000, and I've been hooked ever since! I have a BA in Environmental Studies and previously owned and managed an Electronics Manufacturing business for 12 years - which contributes greatly to my attention to detail.

Volunteering in my community is very important to me, and I am an active volunteer firefighter/search and rescuer and serve as a Lieutenant at North Transylvania Fire Rescue. I am passionate about raising funds and awareness to combat sexual and domestic violence against women, and have donated over $36,000.00 to local shelters through fundraisers I've produced. I grew up in Western North Carolina, I'm an avid distance hiker, I love going on adventures, and exploring with my family. I have an awesome 15 year old son (Parker), an amazing partner (Ian), and a rescue pup (Miss Vader).

I have a diverse team of friendly professionals that help make WNC Weddings & Events such a fantastic resource. We work together to bring you impeccable service!

Jennifer is my right hand woman, and she’s been assisting us with weddings for about 7 years. She is also a Realtor with Fisher Realty in Brevard, and volunteers as a Guardian ad Litem for Transylvania County. She is a licensed minister by the American Marriage Ministries, so she is able to perform marriage ceremonies as well. She has a lovely 18 year old daughter (Gabrielle), a wonderful husband (Bill), several former exchange student “kids”, multiple foster-failure doggies, a couple of adopted neighborhood cats, and her daughter’s horse.

Allison is by far one of our favorite wedding pros in the area. Notice I said pro and not planner because she can do it all! Allison is so much more than just a "planner" or "coordinator". On the day of a wedding she is your rock, your best friend, that person that always seems to have the answers, and she handles it all with a sense of fun and grace not matched by many people we've worked with! Allison is one of the few vendors that we recommend to all of our couples looking to hire a planner/coordinator and you would be crazy not to consider her for your big day!

AnaRie AnaRie Wedding Hair & Makeup

Allison and her team make up such a fabulous wedding planning company! She's incredibly attentive and I recommend her to all of my bridal clients looking for someone incredibly attentive, organized, and creative. She is also phenomenal at recommending vendors and working well with every one of them. I always look forward to working with her very happy bridal clients!

Jen Yuson Photography Jen Yuson Photography Wedding Photographers

Allison with WNC Weddings & Events was extremely organized and she had a very calming presence -two qualities that you definitely want at a wedding! She knew exactly what to do and how to accommodate when a very large number of extra guests showed up to the wedding and reception. A true pro, I would recommend Allison to anyone!
