We had a beautiful ceremony with family thanks to Katrina and all her partners!!! With an adventure elopement on the Blue Ridge Mountains, things do not always go according to plan, but Katrina and our photographer from Ashley Steffans photography were flexible and made sure everything worked out! We stopped at an overlook on the parkway for our ceremony and then drove up as far as we could with weather conditions for more photos. We then went back to our Airbnb for cake and more photos. The whole experience was designed just for us, which made it so special.
If you want a stress-free, intimate, & romantic day Destination Elopements - Asheville is the way!
Thank you again, Katrina, for making our special day perfect -

Katrina was amazing to work with. Friendly, kind and helpful, she found our vineyard, worked out a great price, recommended an expert photographer, and really made our wedding special. We are so grateful we found her. We would totally choose her again and may just do so when renewing our vows.

Katrina was a wonderful officiant! She is a sweet lady who truly connects with her couples and we didn't even meet her until about 30 minutes before the wedding. She is quick to respond to emails and talk to you on the phone to touch base. We booked her in January and she helped us find a location to get married and a spot for a small reception. Many of her guests commented on how heartfelt her ceremony was and that they weren't bored by it like they find themselves at other weddings. Our photographer even thanked her because she makes sure that she steps to the side before she tells the couple to kiss! That way she isn't in the back of all of your photos! I am so happy that I came across Destination Elopements and decided to book her! -

From our very first communication, we knew Katrina was the one! She is a wealth of knowledge in all things wedding and has a way of asking the right questions in order to visualize and plan our dream wedding!
We had 9 months to plan our destination wedding. We live in Raleigh but wanted to get married somewhere in Asheville, with waterfront/scenic landscape. It was to be an intimate family gathering with our children and aging parents. Some of the spots we liked along the Parkway would have been too difficult for our parents to walk/hike to, or just not feasible given the number of guests. After talking to Katrina multiple times, we decided on Olivette RoseBay Park. It was perfect!
One of the many things we love about Katrina is the relationships she has with so many vendors. We didn't want to spend a fortune for our wedding and were looking to cut costs anywhere we could. It was clear in our first conversation that Katrina had our best interests in mind and could match us with the right vendors. She made the wedding planning so incredibly easy - taking all the stress out of the process. One thing at a time, she presented the next vendor decision (9 months out = photographer, 8 months out = flowers, cake; 6 months out = hair, makeup), taking away that overwhelming feeling of "OMG where do I even begin looking?". Her lists of vendors is top notch and we did our homework researching all of them. You can't go wrong with any of the vendors Katrina works with, and because of her quality professional relationships, we saved a ton of money!
Her experience in performing weddings in Asheville makes her the go-to officiant in town! There's no task too big or small. In fact, we opted not to rent (10) chairs from the venue to save money, and instead buy them from Amazon. Our only dilemma was how to get them from our house in Raleigh to Asheville. Katrina again saved the day! She offered for us to have them shipped from Amazon to her house - and she delivered them to the ceremony on our wedding day! She also picked up our cake and flowers as well! We communicated with her numerous times throughout our 9 month engagement. She is easy to reach via text, email or phone and responds so quickly. We had so many chats with her that once we finally met her face-to-face on the day of our wedding, we felt like we had known her forever! She has that caring, warm personality backed with the confidence and knowledge of the best of the best. You can’t go wrong!
Katrina functioned as our "day of wedding coordinator" and officiant. This was beyond helpful in the days leading up to our July 2 wedding. Weather in the area had been rainy and stormy, and it looked like a high chance of some amount of rain for the ceremony. Katrina had it all under control and was in contact with all of the vendors to make sure everyone knew where to be in the event of Plan A, B or C! Unfortunately the only thing none of us could control was the Phil. Airport where the groom’s parent’s got stuck and at last minute were unable to get to our wedding. Katrina made sure to rearrange the ceremony just a bit to mention them and how much we wished they were there.
All wedding things big and small, Katrina can handle it! She’s amazing and our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful start to our marriage! Whether you have 1 day, 1 week or 1 year to plan your destination wedding, be sure to use Katrina @ Destination Elopements WNC! We are so happy we did!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Katrina and Destination Elopements! From first talking to Katrina, my husband and I knew we had found the perfect person to help us make our elopement dreams come true. Katrina helped us create the most perfect day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Our whole experience was such a gift and we could not have asked for a better officiant to join our lives together in marriage, especially during the times we are living in today. Our ceremony was so meaningful, spiritual, and most importantly filled with so much love in and around us. Katrina helped us make the day exactly what we wanted and more! We also booked with Ashley Steffens Photography who captured the day perfectly. -

Katrina was on the ball at the beginning of the wedding planning! She called me at least once a week to help us with the planning and helped suggest places to stay and eat as we were coming from Florida. As we got closer to the big day some things were miscommunicated (which is bound to happen when communicating via phone and emails) But everything was resolved quickly!
Our wedding day was beautiful even with a slight change in scenery and I couldn't of asked for a more unique wedding adventure! -
