Shay Brown Events played a *huge* role in our wedding. They managed the venue that we got married at (Asheville Masonic Temple), and also were the wedding planner and coordinator for our event. Our planner, Alex, was fabulous. My husband and I opted for a less traditional wedding with a courthouse ceremony and reception later in the week. To be honest, my husband and I were overwhelmed by all of the details of planning the reception. I am so grateful that Alex took the time to help us understand the ins and outs of working with vendors, things to remember, and ideas to make our non-traditional reception an *absolute smash*. The days leading up to the reception and the throughout the reception, we had full confidence that every detail of the event was handled with grace and composure. Every member of the Shay Brown team was a pleasure to work with, and was so dedicated to creating a special event for their client that I couldn't recommend another vendor more. -

Shay and her team are the best of the best. As a fellow wedding vendor (founder of Carolina Music Planner), I've had the privilege of working with her for years. When it was time to plan my own elopement, I knew that I wanted her by my side throughout the entire process.
Whether you are in need of a venue, venue management, wedding design, or full service planning, Shay Brown Events is the easiest wedding vendor decision you'll make.
Thank you to Amy, Shay, and the rest of the team for years of seamless timelines, events, and finally, a perfect elopement. Cheers!
Shay helped to set the mood for our day, and I can't imagine how the day would've gone without her there. -

Hi Amy and Shay,
Just wanted to send over a thank you from our entire family! You all were unbelievably so sweet, detailed, and organized throughout the event that we could not have had a better weekend than this! All of our guests had the best time and raved about how much they loved you guys!
Amy, cannot believe the amount of back and forth you had to go through with Sheraton, thank you so much for everything! I have not idea what I would’ve done without you. Also with all the other vendors, you were absolutely so amazing in making sure everything was well thought of, as well as making sure all the finer details were to my liking and comfortability. I hope that you’ve had some time to sleep and rest up after the long weekend! My family could not stop talking about you and how dedicated and prompt you were with every single detail and timeline. You seriously prevented me from worrying about anything at all! Having you was such a blessing!
Shay, omg you worked magic on all of the decor and background details! Thank you so much for making everything look so much like a fairytale—even with working on low budget. Your experience and guidance really helped us in making everything a success! You have this warm presence about you that makes me realize why people love and adore you so much.
Seriously, I could not have picked any better people to help plan and carry out the most important weekend in my life! I am so grateful for all that you all have done and the amount of understanding and flexibility you all had with my crazy families! We definitely hope that we’ll be able to work together again in the future!
Thank you so very much!
With all the love,
Mr. and Mrs. Jay and Nidhi Patel (: -

Jessica Sent on 04/25/2019Don't hesitate to hire shay and her team for your wedding
We came from a bad experience working with a different event planner and Shay really helped us finish our planning and execute the wedding of our DREAMS! Our vendors were amazed with how easy she made everything. There was no detail left untouched. We had a destination wedding in North Carolina and having that assurance and confidence in everything while being across the country was worth every penny. I considered myself a pretty easy going bride but I know I had some family members and bridesmaids that got a little bossy and overwhelming. Shay handled everything with grace. She allowed us to live truly in the moment for our whole wedding weekend. We barely noticed her or any of the vendors. Everyone that attended RAVED about how everything was perfect and went off without a hitch.
We are SO thankful we found Shay Brown Events for our wedding!! -

Colleen Sent on 09/21/2018I've known Shay Brown since I was a kid, so the decision to have her do the floral for our wedding was a no-brainer. Every little touch was perfect. We couldn't be happier with her work! Professionally, I work with Shay and her team frequently and they are continually striving to make each couple's big day the most magical it can be. I count myself lucky to have had her on my team! -

Allison Sent on 11/18/2013Amy was the best and deserves most of the credit for our wonderful wedding. We purchased the all-encompassing package, so Amy handled almost all of the day-to-day emails and logistics of our day. If we had not had an experienced wedding planner, there would have been many details that would have been forgotten. She has worked with most of the other vendors in the Asheville area and was able to help us narrow down our choices. In the end, however, we got to make the important decisions. I'm sure the amount of work she did behind the scenes was astounding. We did not live in Asheville and were quite unfamiliar with the area so it was great to work with someone that knew what she was doing. Our "destination wedding" exceeded our expectations. Our guests had a wonderful time and had nothing but great things to say about our wedding. We got married at a very busy and hectic time in our lives and I was able to stress a lot less by leaving most planning details in Amy's hands. The little details did not go unnoticed. From ensuring that we got to enjoy our appetizers (during family pictures) to keeping a drink in my hand during the reception to packaging everything up at the end of the night, everything was taken care of meticulously. I highly recommend Amy, Meredith, and the rest of the Shay Brown team. -

Thank you Shay & Company!
Amy at Shay & Company helped make our wedding the happiest day of our lives. Shay & Company supported us in choosing all of our incredible vendors, and worked with them seamlessly throughout our wedding day. Amy saw us through a year of planning, steadily guiding us so that no part of the process was overwhelming or stressful. Communication was strong throughout. On the day of the wedding, she led the team through the timeline on schedule.
The evening of our rehearsal it poured rain and there was a leak in the ceiling of our venue. Amy calmly handled it without impacting our rehearsal and worked with both our venue and dessert vendor to change the plans for where our dessert table would be. On the day of the wedding, no one had any idea there had even been an issue.
Overall, Amy understood our vision for our day that was fun, nontraditional, and authentic to us, but still honored our more traditional family. She looked out specifically for my grandparents to make sure they were safe and had a good time. We felt truly taken care of, and cannot recommend Amy and Shay & Company more. They do amazing work with amazing people. Could not imagine our wedding without them! -

Seriously Incredible Shay!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Shay. We had originally hired her as our partial planner for our fusion destination wedding weekend in Asheville but due to Covid, decided to downsize and change our plans for this year to an intimate day in Charlottesville, VA. She was incredibly kind and offered to travel up for the day and act as our day of coordinator, even within our proposed budget. And she was 5000000% essential!!!! Shay is kind, experienced, level headed, warm, friendly, and efficient. During such a crazy year, we are most thankful for her help in navigating wedding planning. She made our intimate day this year truly so special - she organized and set everything up in such a GORGEOUS way and kept the day running smoothly. She literally did so many jobs in one - installing our flowers on our arbor, setting up food and drinks, decor, livestream, etc. I cannot express more gratitude for her. She has checked in often with us and continues to do so as we have postponed our original reception plans in Asheville to 2021. She is experienced in not only American weddings but also Hindu ceremonies and that made it so easy and wonderful to work with her as she knew exactly what was going on and when. Do not hesitate to book her!!! She is incredible. -

A dream come true
Shay Brown Events helped plan and coordinate the day I have dreamed of since I was a little girl. We started working together March of 2019 and I just got married July 18, 2029. We originally had a big wedding planned for May 2, 2020, but due to COVID-19, we had to cancel and postpone. Shay worked with us diligently every month to make every detail of our day absolutely perfect. Her creativity, support, care, and hard work made our day absolutely perfect and one we will never forget. Shay Brown Events introduced us to the best of the best vendors. They all worked with us amidst of the pandemic and were so kind and flexible. My now husband and I can’t thank you all enough for making this day unforgettable. Every detail of our wedding was so beautiful and perfect!!!! -

Sarah Sent on 08/18/2018I cannot say enough about how AMAZING of a wedding planner AMY WOOD from Shay Brown Events was! She was so organized, and when I think of my wedding at the Masonic Temple, I honestly could not have imagined a more perfect day.
I worked with Amy for about a year leading up to the wedding. She helped me locate vendors, would check in usually once a month, until we started getting closer to the big day. Amy kept a running list of everything we had done, and needed to do. She also checked behind us by contacting our vendors to make sure they understood exactly what we wanted. Having never planned a wedding before, Amy helped us think of all the details we didn’t even know we needed.
Amy also helped throw some awesome vendors our way. While some were a bit pricy, they all did exceptionally well getting the job completed to perfection. On the actual day of the wedding, Amy and the team with her made sure everything ran smoothly. I had no stress the day of because Amy knew exactly what we wanted, and kept things moving like clockwork. Even tiny details (like me forgetting my shoes under the sweetheart table) were taken care of. If you wanted a fairy tale wedding experience, Amy at Shay Brown is the way to go!
