Incredibly trustworthy, kind, & creative!
Sierra from PWS was beyond helpful, warm, and on top of things for our planning process. She was very organized and a great resource for questions and vendor planning help. On our wedding day, I trusted her with feedback and follow-through for everything from communicating with tricky family members to last minute decor updates. We love SIERRA SO MUCH!!!! -

Caroline C. Sent on 10/18/2023Erin and PWS were our heroes!!
PWS and especially Erin, who worked as our coordinator, were probably the most instrumental pieces of making our wedding day as beautiful and as smooth as it was. We chose the ‘plain with a cherry’ package with added design help, and Erin listened to all of our scattered ideas and helped us from the beginning to put everything together and make our wedding come to life. She also met with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding and helped us both with the coordination/planning side and with just making sure that we were feeling and doing okay. Every single time we were feeling overwhelmed or a little crazy, after talking to Erin, we felt instantly more at ease and secure in how things were going. Erin made us feel genuinely cared for and supported throughout the whole planning process and wedding day, and thanks to her, we were able to relax and enjoy knowing that things were in her ultra capable hands!
We found so many of our vendors through PWS, and, as a queer couple, we felt so safe and comfortable knowing that the vendors PWS recommends are vetted and trusted by them. We also luckily got to work with Sierra, too, through her own signage business (Freckles and Ink), but she stayed around and helped with so much on our actual wedding day beyond just the signage! We cannot recommend PWS enough, and we are so, so grateful to them (and especially Erin) for all of the hard work put into us and our day. All of our guests, our parents, and everyone in our wedding party couldn’t stop singing Erin’s praises throughout our wedding day, and we won’t either. :) -

Where to start... We were initially drawn to Plain with Sprinkles by their fun and inclusive website. After our first conversation, we know we were in the best of care with the team. Sierra was our planner and she could not have been a more perfect match for us. As big geeks, Sierra encouraged our geekery and all the little touches and inspirations we might have shied away from really made the day that much more special. Her calm demeanor and organization kept us on task and always made us feel like we were preparing at an appropriate pace, despite family members who would have had us feel otherwise. Speaking of family members, she was also a great buffer and willing to jump in to tell people "no" when we no longer had the strength to do so ourselves. Her wealth of knowledge and connections to the wedding scene ensured we had the best of the best for our big day, while also giving us "permission" to trim things that just weren't that important to us (though they may have been more traditional). The staggering amount of things she was able to accomplish on our wedding day seems herculean, but also meant we were able to enjoy ourselves and be present with each other, rather than worrying about the details. If you're looking to get married, find room in your budget to hire Plain with Sprinkles. They are worth their weight in gold! -

Emilie Sent on 11/26/2023All hail Erin and PWS!
My partner Jeff and I recently tied the knot at Brown Mountain Beach Resort in Lenoir, NC, and we owe the seamless execution of our beautiful day (and weekend, honestly) to Erin and her assistant Amber.
We were drawn to PWS by the inclusive, loving language on their website. After our initial call with Erin, we could tell she was going to be the best option when it came to representing our values (love, tolerance, inclusivity, ETC) and have our back throughout the process!
We didn't have a venue decided when we had that first call, and Erin recommended Brown Mountain Beach Resort based on our wish for an outdoor celebration where guests could stay onsite. It was the perfect choice, and I don't know that we would have found it without Erin's recommendation!
From the beginning, Erin's calm and reassuring presence made the entire process a joy. We did the "Just a Scoop" package, which was a great fit for us. The phone check-ins throughout helped us feel like we were running on track. Her organization skills on the day were spot-on, ensuring our day flowed seamlessly without too much input from us. She and her assistant Amber worked together to handle everything from vendor coordination to keeping us on schedule.
In the end, we had a wedding that exceeded our wildest expectations where we were able to remove ourselves from the details and focus on enjoying a damn good party. Erin's expertise and passion for creating unforgettable moments truly made our day special.
Our heartfelt thanks to Erin and the PWS team for making our wedding weekend one we'll treasure forever! -

Simone D. Sent on 06/30/2023Best Decision We Made!
We had an incredible wedding planning experience with Sierra from Plain With Sprinkles. While the idea of planning a destination wedding can be daunting, they provided us with resources to stay organized, vendor recommendations, and countless video meetings whenever we had questions along the way. Sierra showed so much care in our day and advocated for what was important to us. Our wedding day went so smoothly with her behind the wheel-- our family and wedding party were extremely complimentary of how amazing Sierra was as well! We will be forever grateful to Sierra and Plain With Sprinkles for bringing our dream wedding to life. -

Working with Sierra at Plain With Sprinkles was a dream. We knew we needed a wedding planner to help mitigate stress because we both have demanding jobs. Our wedding went perfectly and I can honestly say it was the best day of my life. At the end of the night my wife said, “Sierra made our dreams come true.” Highly highly recommend hiring Plain with Sprinkles! -

Hiring Sierra from Plain with Sprinkles was definitely the best wedding choice we made (other than getting married). She was amazing and helpful from the beginning of planning, and then flawlessly carried out our vision the day of. I could not imagine having a more perfect wedding day, and so much of it was thanks to her and her skills. We absolutely love her and will be recommending Plain with Sprinkles to anyone and everyone we know! -

If you are thinking of booking Plain with Sprinkles to help plan your wedding DO IT!! We worked with Erin and she was the most incredible wedding planner! We went with the “Plain with a Cherry” service and it was perfect. Erin checked in with us every 3 months leading up to our wedding and helped us navigate through all the little details that went into planning our wedding. She was so reliable and did a great job communicating with us and all of our vendors. I had zero worries going into our wedding because I knew Erin was on top of everything which was such a great feeling! Not only was Erin super professional, she was also fun, bubbly and the nicest person to work with! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we had no problems or issues and I have Erin to thank for that. Our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without Erin!!

Erin Sent on 01/02/2023Guests told us our wedding was their favorite ever, even including their own!
I cannot speak highly enough of PWS. Erin (our planner, not me!) was our wedding planner and she did an absolutely incredible job. We also worked with Sierra, who helped with logistics and communication. We got the "Plain With A Cherry" wedding management package and are so, so glad we did.
PWS was incredibly helpful from the start. We met with Erin virtually several times throughout the year, where she both encouraged and pushed us to make sure we were on track with our planning. She was never judgmental and was always quick to respond and happy to answer our questions, making sure we were taking care of our mental health and not losing sight of the joy we wanted from our wedding.
As a queer couple, it was extremely important for us to trust our planner to understand the unique challenges we faced in planning our wedding and to recommend vendors who were wholeheartedly queer-friendly. This was especially important since we do not live in the area, and PWS was crucial in helping us find reputable vendors who all did an excellent job. Also, if there was ever a vendor who didn't respond quickly, just having PWS on the email would prompt the vendor to reply when needed. And if we forgot to respond to something important, Erin helped us stay accountable by sending us a reminder too.
In the month leading up to the wedding, PWS coordinated our vendors, taking over and answering questions when needed. Erin kept us on the right track and handled numerous logistics, allowing my wife and me to keep working full time right up until the week of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she was there from the early morning until late at night, coordinating vendors, corralling family, and making sure we had everything we needed (including plenty of water!) More than anything, she never lost sight of our dream: to have a wedding filled with joy, where our guests felt as honored to be there as we were honored to have them attend.
I would highly recommend PWS for anyone planning a wedding in the Asheville area. They are INCREDIBLY worth it. Thank y'all so much! -

We cannot tell you how wonderful it was to have Erin and PWS help us create the weeding we dreamed of and that fit us as a couple + our guests and bridal party loved every interaction that they had with Erin. What sets them apart, is that they go above and beyond to ensure you feel supported and seen during every step of the way. We love you Erin and PWS!!! -

Audrey M. Sent on 10/31/2022Working with PWS is a dream come true!!
You NEED to book PWS for your wedding. I had the immense pleasure of working with Sierra & when I tell you she is a wedding planning goddess, I mean it!!! I went to school for & am an event planner myself so I planned a majority of my wedding, but knew that I wanted to relax a little more before the wedding so I wanted month of coordination leading up to the big day to take over vendor coordination so I could focus on myself & my now husband. Sierra. was. AMAZING. The service we booked ended up being around 8-10 weeks of coordination so she actually helped me finish up the last of my big decisions & planning details before taking over all the vendors herself. It was such a huge relief. I genuinely don’t think my wedding would have been half of what it was without her & I know the other team members at PWS are equally as amazing, so whoever you work with will make your perfect day come true. She listened to all my crazy ideas & honored all the little details I was so particular about beautifully. She also helped easy my mind in times of panic that every bride feels while trying to get everything in order. I’m also familiar with the Asheville/Western NC area but haven’t lived there in some time so she was a huge help decided where to host welcome/after parties as well as other last minute vendors I needed. She also has immaculate taste in decor/set up & made our venue look stunning. I had full trust in her & it totally paid off because my wedding was truly a dream. Honestly I could write an entire novel in how wonderful PWS is, so basically just hire them you will not be disappointed!!!! -

Kirsten C. Sent on 10/06/2021You're going to want Erin to be your best friend
You might think that you do not need a wedding planner, but you're wrong. Stop looking now and hire Erin immediately. We worked with Erin for almost two years when planning our wedding and she was amazing from start to finish. She helped us stay on track, introduced us to all of the best vendors, and most importantly, encouraged us to ditch the traditions that we did not love in favor of a day that represented who we were and what we wanted. Seriously, we cannot say enough good things about her. -

Penn H. Sent on 11/30/2021PWS (and ERIN!) were a wedding dream come true...and more!
Honestly, the thought of a wedding was 3 parts terrifying, 1 part exciting when we started planning (especially because it was in the middle of COVID and one of us was going back to school full-time). Neither I nor my spouse had ever been people to think that our wedding was going to be the best day of our lives, or that it would even run perfectly. Call us cynical (at least one of us is) but we were just going to be happy if the people who showed up had a decent time and were fed. Expectations were not very high.
Amazingly, it was the best day of our lives together. And it was very much the perfect day--everything we had never even dared to hope for. Literally the worst thing that happened was that a groomsman left the Pinot Noir in his trunk (oh no, we went home with two cases of wine!). And this is ALL. THANKS. TO. ERIN!
From the very first call, Erin was there not only to soothe all our worries but also to come up with great ideas and solutions, point us in the right direction, and be the biggest supporter of US in this whole thing. She was never pushy, always had our best interests at heart, and was so organized and collected--even in the middle of one of the busiest wedding seasons ever!
Not only were we planning a wedding from a different state, but we had a backyard, nondenominational ceremony with a reception at a nearby venue and a Thai wedding ceremony during cocktail hour (which she hadn't organized before), complete with the well-meaning but very involved and opinionated relatives. I thought the logistics of this would scare most people (it certainly scared me) but she took it all in stride, asked all the right questions, kept the relatives sated and happy, and ship-shaped us all in line. She was very communicative and on top of all the details, and on the day of, everything ran on time (and actually ahead of schedule!!) which was kind of crazy considering almost everyone was from out of town.
Erin thought of literally everything that could go right and wrong, and prepped for that and even more. She is such a selfless, thoughtful, caring, and amazing human being that we all (and especially the aforementioned well-meaning and opinionated relatives) loved her and thought she was working TOO hard. She and the PWS team went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was the perfect day, and it truly was.
I can't recommend PWS enough to plan and/or coordinate your wedding. She worked with our budget, always kept things real and down to earth, and was our biggest supporter and champion in all of this. Her team is one group of creative, hard-working, and experienced wedding people and you'd be very lucky to have them working with you on your own perfect day. -

Molly M. Sent on 07/04/2021Simply the BEST. 10/10 would hire again. LOVE SIERRA.
We worked with Sierra for our wedding and she was INCREDIBLE. I seriously can't rave enough about how wonderful she is. Through the whole process she kept me sane, gently guided me away from not so great decisions, responded to my emails and texts, met with me and vendors, and coordinated an insane number of logistics day of. She also went above and beyond in so many additional ways, she fixed an error on my menus, conveniently had a cake stand when I forgot one (and didn't even bring it up), always seemed to know when I needed something, and added so many special details to the day that I hadn't even thought of. If you want a true professional who is going to ensure you have YOUR day and not what Pinterest or anyone else thinks your day should look like, PWS and Sierra are the right move. Our day was perfect, and it wouldn't have been without her. -
