Smash Events: Our Wedding Dream Team
Smash Events was simply incredible to work with. Dominique was our wedding planner. From our first meeting at a coffee shop, we knew she was the perfect fit—calm, cool, energetic, and knowledgeable about the Asheville area with strong connections to local vendors. She kept us on track while allowing us the space to make decisions. We had a seamless experience working with Smash Events for florals and catering as well!
The day of the wedding, Dominique was essential! Despite a huge rainstorm just two hours before the ceremony, she ensured everything was set up perfectly on the rooftop once the storm passed. The entire day—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—flowed beautifully, and she even helped us pull off an epic bubble exit! Thanks to her expertise, we never felt stressed during the process. Dominique's confidence, experience, and great vibes made our wedding truly epic.
As mentioned, we also worked with Ashley from Smash for catering and florals. I cannot tell you how perfectly Ashley met my vision for florals. When I saw the floral arrangements & my bouquet, I truly gasped! They were stunning and were the perfect balance of tropical, lush, and minimalist yet had a fullness that created a balanced and fun look! Plants and greens were artfully woven with vibrant flowers. I couldn’t have loved them more!
Ashely also was in charge of catering and dinnerware! She had a collection of lovely vintage floral plates that were perfection as well as vintage glassware. Our family style meal was timed nicely and our guests commented on how great the food was! Ashley also packed us up a to go meal - this was such a thoughtful gesture since we were honestly having too much fun with guests to fully appreciate the food!
We cannot recommend Ashley, Dominique, and the rest of the smash team more! They truly rock and are a dream to work with. -

Best One Stop Shop Vendor!
I cannot recommend Smash Events enough! While they offer many services to be combined, I only required their catering and event coordinator services.
For the catering, we had an incredible tasting where Ashley was able to walk us through all our options and let us ask a million questions. She helped us play with design and flavors until it fit exactly what we were looking for. Everyone complimented us on the food day of and I'm sad there weren't more leftovers for us because we just wanted to keep eating it!!
For our day of coordinator, Dominique was a literal angel. Our wedding was a whole weekend so there was SO much planning, but Dominique handled every one of my stresses. Even day of when there were minor hiccups, not once did I feel overwhelmed because it was already handled. Dominique took all my ideas and comments and gave me the wedding of my dreams. Everything was on time and exactly what I was hoping for.
I truly got to just sit back and enjoy my wedding day and I could not have done that without Smash. They were so affordable and had so many different add-ons and options so I could truly get all the things I needed without any unnecessary items. -

Highly recommend
Smash Events was absolutely incredible! The food was amazing — we received so many compliments from our guests, everyone couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. They truly knocked it out of the park!
The service was just as impressive. The team was so attentive, quick to help, and incredibly professional and polite throughout the entire event. Our buffet display looked gorgeous and was beautifully decorated — it added such an elegant touch to our reception.
Ashley was so easy to communicate from the first day we reached out. She was very flexible, accommodating and responsive to all emails.
I honestly couldn’t recommend a better caterer. Smash Events went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect, and we are so thankful for their hard work and talent! -

10/10 thank you dominique
Of all of the people we hired for our wedding, Dominique was our best choice. She was so responsive to our many emails, so relaxed about the planning of the day, and so on top of every detail I never would have thought of. She felt like our advocate for the entire month leading up to the wedding, and, even though we only went with month-of service, she was still responsive and willing to help in the many months leading up to the wedding. Dominique brought my husband and I peace of mind through the whole process, and we are both so grateful that we had her.
Our wedding day went smoothly, and it was the best day ever. We had many people--even married people!--tell us that our wedding was the best they'd ever been to, and that is all thanks to Dominique's organization, people skills, and eye for the best way to do things. She was adaptable and not stressed about a thing, and that made it easier for my husband and I to just relax and enjoy the day! If you're wondering whether it's worth it to get a coordinator even for just a month, hear me when I say it's not only worth it, it's the best decision you could make for yourself and your future spouse. Thank you Dominique!!! -

Couldn't recommend more!
We booked Smash Events for our wedding day catering, as well as their wine+beer pour service. We couldn't be happier with our decision! The food was delicious (LOTS of options to choose from and so many fun appetizers) and our guests loved everything. Ashley was so great to work with and answered our (many) questions very promptly. -

Great food and service
We used Smash for our wedding and everyone loved the BBQ buffet! There was plenty of food, and everyone flowed through the buffet line super smooth. We had plates brought to us at the head table and the wait staff made sure we had everything we needed, and packed us to go boxes for the end of the night! They had great vegan and vegetarian options for our guests as well. -

Amazing Wedding Caterers!
Smash Events catered our wedding and were so wonderful to work with! The food and presentation were amazing, and we had guests saying that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had! Our wedding nearly got cancelled due to Hurricane Helene knocking out all power and water, but Ashley and her team were incredibly kind and helpful and worked hard to create backup plans in case the water at the venue wasn’t restored in time. We’re so appreciative of their flexibility and determination to make the wedding happen during such a stressful time, and highly recommend them! -

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire!
We used Smash Events for our month of coordinator for our wedding at Highland Brewing. We made a lot of decisions regarding our wedding but this one was ESSENTIAL to making our day run smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about Dominique. She felt like so much more than a month of coordinator- giving us tips and recommendations throughout our wedding planning process. She was so responsive and kind. As a type A bride I had zero doubts handing things over to her for the day. All of those little details you can't think of or remember for your day? She has all the answers, tips and tricks! Not to mention everyone in the area knows and loves her. On the day of our wedding we just showed up and enjoyed our day in peace knowing she had everything covered. She executed the timeline perfectly and not a single thing went wrong and I owe this to her! Amazing to work with in every way- if you're unsure if you need a month of planner or more... this is your sign to do it, trust me it's worth every penny! -

Month of Planner was the best Decision we made for our wedding and Food was DELICIOUS
My partner and I hired Dominique for month of planning for our wedding. From the moment we interviewed her, Dominique made us feel at ease and excited about our wedding day. She was prompt to respond and always had a solution to any problem or question that arose. She was kind and respectful to my family that had many questions throughout the planning process. Dominique provides you with a planning site that offers great structure and guidance for the planning process. She makes the day flow seamlessly and alway checks in to make sure it's going according to your vision. If you want a smooth wedding you need Dominique! You won't regret it!
Ashley and the catering team did a phenomenal job with our wedding menu. They helped us coordinate family differences in opinion when planning and were always quick to give us suggestion on how to elevate our guests dining experience. Ashley is extremely organized and prompt in her responses. She made us feel at ease and that everything was covered food wise for our guests. She ensured that every dietary restriction was met with a special meal ensuring no one was left out or went hungry. On the wedding day the service was spectacular. Our guests were all impressed and had so much praise for Smash. -

Absolutely amazing!
Smash is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I ended up using them for EVERYTHING - catering, desserts, florals, and planning. Each one was absolutely amazing. For catering, we went with a buffet style and everything was soooo delicious. We got so many compliments on our food, from our appetizers to the actual dinner. We specifically got MANY compliments on the steak which was incredible. We also did our desserts through them and they were AMAZING. We did multiple desserts as well as a cake, and again received so many compliments on all of them, especially the sesame cookie which had such a unique flavor profile. Ashley, who owns and runs everything, is extremely responsive and helpful. I felt like multiple times they went out of their way to accommodate me but never made it seem like a big deal. My husband wanted a very specific type of hot dog for the late night snack, and they were able to do those. They helped to come up with mocktail ideas and the signature drinks they made were amazing. It was also very easy to book my plates, silverware, etc through them as well. My florals were gorgeous - I was not somebody who came in with anything very specific for florals, and what they created with very little guidance from me was beautiful. Finally, Dominique (planning) is amazing. She is the perfect mix of relaxed but directive. I never once felt rushed or lost or stressed, which I think is a true testament to her character, style, and actual planning. I was initially hesitant to book everything through them because it seemed too good to be true. But I have absolutely 0 regrets and I would do it 1000 times over. Thank you Smash to helping to put together the best night of my life. -

Smash catering, dessert, florals
WOW! What can I say! Ashley and the entire team at smash events went above and beyond for my May 4th, 2024 wedding. We went with Smash for our catering, baker for desserts and florals and we wouldn’t have it any other way. From the very beginning, Ashley made the entire wedding planning process perfect. She is so easy to talk to and the communication skills are stellar. She was always there to ease my nerves and played an essential part in our big day.
Here are some mini reviews for each service:
Catering:
Three weeks later and I am still getting so many complements on the food served. From the appetizers, to salads to main dishes everything was amazing and the presentation was beautiful. I had many guests take picture of their plates because they looked to perfect to eat. The table set up was also provided. They had the cutest antique plates and amber water goblets that complemented the theme. The serving staff was on top of it and friendly throughout. We even received a goodie bag full of Asheville snacks that was an amazing surprise!
Desserts:
The cake was amazing!! Our baker Cay was so friendly during our tasting. We did the vanilla cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing and it was so good. Smash added florals to top the cake that fit perfectly!
Florals:
Smash literally made my Pinterest vision come alive!!!! We were aiming for a woodsy antique meets folklore vibes and smash killed it. All decorations were included with the price and when I say all decor I mean ALL decor. There were terrariums, antique books, brass candles, cloche jars, etc. which were all provided. I could not believe that I did not have to provide almost any decorations because they had me covered. Everything was so unique and exactly what I was looking for. Our bouquet and boutonnières were to die for. The team really hit every single look we were going for. I could not have imagined changing a single thing.
I HIGHLY recommend Smash to anyone. Utilizing them for all three services made everything so easy and convenient. My only regret was not using Smash for their planning services because that would have been the icing on the cake. -

Hire Dominique for full service planning!
We hired Dominique as our month of wedding coordinator and if I could do it all again, I would hire her for full service planning! Seriously. She was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond and helped make our big day the most magical experience. Everything was seamless. We are so grateful that we got to work with her- she was invaluable. -

Incredible - Book Smash!
I am so happy we booked Smash Events for our wedding dinner! From the very start, Ashley was so nice and easy to work with. I knew I wanted a Family Style meal as a way of connecting everyone at tables and "breaking bread" so to speak. Not only did Smash do this wonderfully, it looked and tasted absolutely amazing. The little details did not go unnoticed by my husband and I, or our guests. We got so many compliments on how good the food was, and it can be hard to please 100 people and make sure all dietary restrictions are handled appropriately. Ashley and her team did all of that seamlessly. They also helped us pick out our settings, which were an absolutely dream! We went with the mismatched vintage plates and clear goblets, and It added such a nice tough to our reception. I can't recommend them enough - they were truly amazing and handled everything from start to finish. Thank you so much, Ashley and the Smash Events Team. You are amazing!

Perfect Wedding Planner!
We hired Dominique and Smash right after booking our venue and it was probably the best choice we made for the wedding! Everyone always talks about how stressful weddings are and when we got closer to the actual date we were mostly worried that we weren't stressed! Dominique handled everything perfectly to the point where we had no worries. It appeared to have come together seamlessly. She even handled an issue with the venue quickly and effectively for a situation that could have caused months of worry. I can't recommend them highly enough. Not only are the affordable for the area but their also just amazing planners! -

Best decision we made
My daughter and I decided on Dominique Bedrosian at Smash Events to be our wedding planner for her wedding in Asheville and that was the best wedding decision we made.
Both of us live out of town and were not familiar with vendors in the area. Dominique was amazing at guiding us to vendors who were able to deliver exactly what we wanted. She was the perfect intermediator for us and assisted us with the contracts and communication.
She was so prompt with her responses to our emails and phone calls. She answered all of our questions to our satisfaction and gave us excellent advice on how to handle all of the nuances of wedding planning.
My daughter and I have a wonderful relationship but we were on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to our vision for this wedding. I am very traditional and she is not so there was potential for disagreements between us.
We both interviewed Dominique and decided that she was the one who could best handled our differences and get us on common ground. It was the best decision we made!
We both could approach Dominique and have her guide us home without feeling like she was taking sides with one or the other. She handled each of our different opinions on a matter with delicate tact and professionalism. She helped us see both sides and recommend how we should approach a resolution. She was amazing and we could not have done it without her.
I would highly recommend Dominique. I was able to go Asheville for the wedding without a care in the world and have a fun and relaxed weekend. The wedding was perfect! Not a single thing went wrong and many of our guests said it was the best wedding or best party they had ever been to.

Stop what you're doing and hire Dominique
I hired Dominique in September of 2019 to plan my June 2020 wedding. You see where this is going...3 reschedules later, we FINALLY had our celebration in September 2022. Dominique was there through every postponement, contract adjustment, guest count change, vendor shakeup, seasonal tweak, all of it. I can't say enough about her flexibility, patience, professionalism, and support through all of that chaos. and our day was PERFECT! Wouldn't have changed a thing, and I know that's due in large part to her work behind the scenes.
We also used Smash for our floral needs, and Ashley nailed it. After 3ish years of planning I was a little scattered by the end, but she kept my vision in check and blew it out of the water. I'd hire both of them again in a heartbeat. -

Hire Smash for your AVL wedding!
We hired Smash as our caterer for our New Year's Eve wedding, and it was a great decision!! They came highly recommended from our venue, Highland Brewing, and as soon as we had our tasting we knew we'd made the right choice. Their food is amazing, they have so many options to choose from, and everything we had was delicious. The "Smash Bash" package is a great deal for everything you get – plates/silverware/napkins/etc, appetizers, salad, entrees, desserts, and a late night snack! Our guests loved all the food and the s'more bar we had for dessert was so much fun. The Smash team is super friendly, professional & easy to work with, and I'd highly recommend them for anyone getting married in the AVL area! -

We love Smash!!
After doing some research I found Dominique with Smash, and BOY OH BOY did we luck out with that! Dominique is the BEST! Friendly, responsive, incredibly helpful, she handled last minute family requests and changes with grace and aptitude. There is no one better to help you with your wedding.
After deciding to work with Smash for planning we ended up working with them for catering and floral as well. Everyone says that guests never notice your floral, well if you work with Smash that will not be the case, 6 months later I am still getting compliments about their designs. I had given them a general outline of the asthetic that I wanted and they took my vision and brought it to life better than I could have ever imagined. I am so incredibly lucky to have worked with this team.
Ashley and Dominique, we miss you guys! Hope you are doing well and THANK YOU!!!!-

Amazing caterer for a 3-day summer camp wedding!!!
TL;DR: SMASH IS AMAZING! We planned a three-day summer camp wedding and were looking for a caterer who could provide two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners -- all vegetarian. We spoke to a few vendors before settling on Smash. And boy did we make the right decision. From the get-go, Ashley and her team were enthusiastic about our vision. They were game for cooking all of our favorite foods; our meals included tacos, Carolina BBQ, paninis, biscuits and gravy, and an Asian noodle station. Not only was the food delicious, but the service (hi, Liz!) was incredible. They were unbelievably organized, managing to pull off six meals without a hitch, and every single Smash staff member was friendly and helpful. I also really appreciated Smash's commitment to environmentally and socially responsible practices, including paying a living wage and composting food scraps (at our request). I can't tell you how many guests raved about the food (even though most of them were not vegetarian) and the service. We are so grateful to them for making our wedding such a memorable and delicious event -- and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer! -

So Thankful We Used Smash for our Caterer!
Okay when I say that our guests won't stop talking about our food - I mean it!! If you have been looking for a caterer for your wedding, you can stop here and book Smash. It was a big goal of mine for our guests to be able to enjoy our food at our wedding. We decided to do stations and people ranted and raved about the Steakhouse and Southern Favorites stations. There was plenty of food for all of our guests and people also loved the sliders for the passed appetizers! Ashley and her team are incredible and will make sure that you are happy with your selections. I am so thankful that we used them and will forever be singing their praises! You will also be so happy you hired Smash :) -

Impeccable Event Planning!
I can’t say enough about the service and responsiveness of Dominique and Smash Events! Asheville was a destination wedding which meant we really needed to rely upon her expertise. Dominique was with us every step of the way, answering question after question and flawlessly executing a perfect evening for 142 guests. It was magical - we can’t say enough about the level of service. Highly recommend Smash Events. -

Dominique is Awesome!!!
We worked with Dominique for well over a year in the lead-up to our 6/4/22 wedding and she was GREAT throughout the process! She helped us identify vendors and worked with us even when we were overly picky or indecisive. On the day of the event, she was a rock star and made sure we were never stressed throughout! She's also just a super nice person and pleasure to be around. We would highly recommend Dominique for any Asheville weddings! -

Amazing Wedding Coordinator- May 28, 2022
Thank you.... Those two words couldn’t begin to cover the gratitude I feel towards Dominique.
Planning my daughters wedding was an overwhelming experience, especially since I was OOS, but throughout the process her calm certainty that everything would go as planned constantly reassured me.
She didn’t miss a beat, and covered every detail on the wedding day. Because of Dominique's wealth of knowledge (and her patience with the crazy MOB), my daughter had the wedding of her dreams!
We appreciate all that she did for us! -

Heaven Sent
I can not recommend Smash Events planning services enough. Dominique took care of my husband and I and all of our wedding needs for over a year! She is the reason my stress levels were so low going into a destination wedding. Her knowledge, support, confidence, and organization skills are impeccable. She, and the rest of her team are truly heaven sent! I told her over and over again that if I could have given her the world, I would have. She made the wedding of my dreams become a reality, and we’re forever grateful! -

Great Experience with Dominique Bedrosian
As the FOB and located in Atlanta, it was comforting to have a planner with the experience and expertise of Dominique in Asheville. She was hands on all the way from the biggest to the smallest issues. She was very helpful in choosing vendors, and they all performed at the highest level. Dominique was with us on the wedding day from the beginning to the end, and even through clean up at the venue, and always with a smile on her face.

The BEST Wedding Planner!
We used Smash for both our wedding planning and floral and can't recommend them enough! Dominique was so hands on from the start and know we couldn't have pulled off our out of town wedding without her. From helping with vendor selection to ensuring the wedding day went smoothly, we were truly in great hands. Her knowledge and experience at our venue (Highland Brewing) was invaluable and she was always responsive via Zoom or email as we moved through the planning process. Can't recommend Smash enough! -

Excellent planning experience!
Best decisions of my life:
1. Marrying Callie
2. Hiring Dominique
3. Hiring royal suits to play the wedding (recommended by Dominique)
4. Going to college
Dominique and the smash events team made planning our wedding a breeze! The value you get from their services is very impressive.
We had to cancel our original wedding date due to covid restrictions. Smash helped us align all of our vendors to find a new date and avoid losing deposits. Dominique is the best and did a fantastic job!
Every vendor they recommended was excellent! Smash events helped make our special day extra special. -

Beautiful farm wedding during the intensity of Covid
Beautiful farm wedding during the intensity of Covid
We cannot thank Smash enough for doing the food and wedding planning for our crazy wedding August 2020! We were originally supposed to get married April 2020, postponed, and then revamped our whole idea with the help of Smash. We felt safe, our friends and family felt safe. Smash held a high level of integrity for its own employees to keep them feeling safe as well.
Over a year later, people are still talking about how good our food was. We were very lucky to have found and hired them. Their food styling, flower styling, eye in general for what they pictured we wanted was impeccable.
And we didn’t have to clean up a thing. -

Ashley and her team are amazing!
Like with so many others, the pandemic created a lot of uncertainty around our wedding. We ultimately decided to postpone our wedding and hold an intimate family ceremony on our original date instead. But we still wanted to celebrate with all our friends and family once it was feasible. Unfortunately, our original caterer went out of business during the pandemic and we were scrambling to find another one with only 6 months to go. I contacted Ashley on the off chance they might have availability and luckily, she was already doing a wedding at our venue that same day so she was able to make it work. She didn’t hesitate to do all that they could to help us and make sure we could stick as close to our original budget as possible. And the food is TOP-NOTCH. Everyone was raving about it. We were also serving wood-fired pizza from another caterer and Ashley was really accommodating about working alongside them. She has an amazing attention to detail and fantastic customer care. So grateful that Ashley and her team were able to be part of our special day. -

Dominique was a dream planner!
Dominique was absolutely incredible! She helped us choose the best team of vendors with our budget in mind and made our vision come completely to light. All of our guests were blown away by how flawless the entire day went and it was 100% due to Dominique. She was completely blended into the backround yet would appear out of nowhere ready to help, my husband said he was outside trying to light a cigar and she popped up out of completely nowhere and helped him. My bridesmaid was helping bustle my dress and suddenly same thing she just popped up and helped. She took all the stress out of planning and was just such a pleasure to work with that she felt like an instant friend. I don't know how anyone could plan a wedding without her. -

Dominique was a game-changer!
When I say that Dominique was the most amazing, meticulous and FUN wedding planner ever, I MEAN she went over and above on every single detail.
I was given her name from our venue and did not have any idea of any others in the area, so after reading a few things we just went for it. And boy, did she deliver.
Her vast knowledge and her counsel on the wedding as well as her ability to calm nerves and answer every single question confidently and accurately was truly amazing. She steered us in the right direction at every decision point.
Plus, she’s freaking adorable and a complete joy to work with. She was never unavailable - even when she took a few days off over the 6 months, she got in front of everything, allowing us all to take a breather, and hit the ground running upon return. She got to know us, our family and my daughter and now-husband and was able to cut to the chase on entertaining ideas that made no sense vs. honing in on those that matched their/our desires and dreams.
We had a particularly challenging aspect, where our guests (old and young!) were asked to “hike” up a little mountain trail to witness the ceremony in the forest. Definitely my daughter’s number one requirement for her day, and Probably one of my most challenging aspects for the 3 elderly guests (of the 130) who had to have some special coordination. Not kidding when I say we had to have spent 20% of our planning time worried about safety and comfort for these special people, and while they had reservations about this aspect, they have no idea about the attention to detail that went in to ensuring their comfort and enjoyment, instead, they just appreciated the experience and loved every minute. Dominique never tired of revisiting the plan (or at least, was always pleasant and helpful) on this topic.
And, that’s just ONE of the reasons we couldn’t have pulled this off so beautifully without her help(along with the great team led by Tracey at The Vineyards of Betty’s Creek).
I think these two also had a long talk with Mother Nature, too, as a ceremony on July 31 outdoors up a trail could have gone wrong in so many ways - but instead-pure perfection.
Hire Dominique- and your will have A perfect wedding - and, a new precious friend For life! -

Amazing every step of the way
I was referred to Smash Events by my wedding photographer, and let me say it was one of the best wedding vendor choices I made. Dominique was an EXCELLENT month-of coordinator, and to be honest, she did so much more work than just the month-of. She was responsive, professional and so very helpful with everything I needed. Best of all is her easy going and calm nature; it rained on our wedding day, and when I was stressed, she kept me sane and everything was beautiful. My personality is such that I don't like giving up control, but Dominique made me feel confident in doing so and really helped the day run so smoothly. We also used Smash for our florals, and Ashley did an amazing job, especially with the ceremony arch and reception space installation. On top of it all, Smash Events is so affordable, which is of course a welcomed surprise in the wedding industry. I cannot recommend working with Smash enough! -

Perfection
Let me say that no matter the number of positive things I say about Ashley and her awesome team in this post, it will still not describe how truly super they were for our wedding this past weekend. They catered and bartended our entire wedding weekend - a rehearsal BBQ, welcome party, wedding reception, and a Sunday brunch. Every single aspect of our experience with them was just plain easy. Ashley is unbelievably responsive to a point where it seems that she must be superhuman. Their catering options are so diverse, but all executed creatively and presented in a way that our guests just loved. Soooo many of our guests commented on the incredible food, and as I was mingling with guests during our reception dinner, I saw that plates were either empty or people were getting seconds at the buffet. I also want to mention their bartending. Wow. We had a few signature cocktails that we wanted served - a skinny margarita at our rehearsal BBQ and then a French 75 and Old Fashioned at the reception. Our guests raved about all of them. Truly excellently done and exactly what my husband and I wanted to drink! They also were able to make anything the guests requested, which was fantastic. Working with them was an easy, efficient, creative, fun process, where I didn't have to think at all. Highly recommend the great folks at Smash a million times over. Thank you for helping make that weekend the best of our lives! -

Amazing!!!
Ashley and Smash Events handled our flowers for our wedding and were recommended by our venue. Ashley was INCREDIBLE. About two months prior to my date I changed my entire vision - she made sure to make me very note and helped me make choices on what would look best. What her and her team created was amazing - it was better than any vision I had. I sent Ashley two ideas and she went above and beyond to make those ideas my wedding. Absolutely unreal - I could not recommend more! -

The BEST for everything!
We booked Smash for catering, floral, and planning for our Oct 17, 2020 wedding that ended up being in the middle of Covid-19 changes. I am SO glad we went with Smash because they absolutely know exactly what they're doing! I asked Ashley for so many food swaps, alterations to dishes, and even requests that weren't on the sample menu (my extended family are picky eaters) and she was so accommodating and never made me feel like I was asking too much! The floral she designed was also completely gorgeous! Though I never found the ideal bouquet inspiration picture to show her, Ashley somehow created my perfect bouquet and also made a floral clip for my hair which was one of my favorite details of the day!
We also had the pleasure of working with Dominique for planning and she was just as wonderful! She handled so many details, from the big ones like coordinating rentals and running rehearsal to small things like bustling my dress and finding the perfect spot to hang our custom neon sign that we loved. My family kept expecting for there to be things they needed to do throughout the day (you always expect at least a little stress on your wedding day, right?) but Dominique and Ashley handled it all!
If you want the most seamless wedding day possible and to work with such kind and talented people, you need to book Smash! -

Amazing food and service!
Ashley was so responsive and helpful during the ever changing plans of the Covid-19 crisis. She was accommodating for our tasting. And her food blew our minds. Her menu was diverse and fun! So many different options and styles to go with. We used her for both our wedding and rehearsal dinner. For the wedding we did stations, a taco bar, kids table, and grilled cheese station. There was no shortage of food, the stations were beautifully displayed and so many guests raved about the quality of the food! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. For the rehearsal dinner we had a bbq spread. Sooo good! There was no shortage of food for either event and Ashley offered to box the food up for left overs or donate to a local shelter. Ashley and her staff are an amazing team and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They also have a mobile food truck I would totally recommend trying if you see them in the Asheville area!

Great food and experience
Smash was amazing at working with us when we had to reschedule our larger ceremony/party due to covid! We were able to book them again for 2021. We also decided to elope on our original wedding date and Smash agreed to cater a dinner for two for us. They helped make a potentially disappointing set of circumstances into a really special night for me and my husband. Also, the food is absolutely amazing!!!
Update: Smash an amazing job catering our wedding weekend. We had Ashley and her team cater the wedding, rehearsal dinner, and breakfast at our venue. They were totally accommodating for dietary requests and the food was AMAZING. Everyone was talking about how good everything was for weeks. Thanks so much guys!!!!! -

We absolutely loved working with Smash Events for our wedding. We used their month of planning package and they continuedly went above and beyond our expectations. We worked primarily with Shayla who was an absolute angel through the ENTIRE planning process. She always had great ideas, recommendations, and encouragement even during COVID-19. We also worked with Dominque who also was exceptional. These ladies are professional, creative, and SO good at what they do. Smash Events did the perfect job pulling off our wedding full of details. -

The best of the best!
I began the planning process before covid hit and booked Smash for our catering, floral and planning. They were truly amazing through the entire process, including a reschedule and a new venue. Ashley created a delicious menu that my guests raved about and the flowers blew me away! I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she hit it out of the park. She answered my 10000 questions and concerns, especially when I was freaking out over having to change the date. Dominique did my month-of planning and was SO professional and helpful. She was very easy to contact and got back to me quickly with answers which was a huge deal to me. The big day went so smoothly and my fiance and I felt relaxed because Smash handled everything with such confidence and ease. They made sure our guests felt safe with the covid regulations- our guests felt so well taken care of. I can't recommend these women enough! -

SO Amazing!
Smash Events provided catering and month-of-planning for our wedding on September 7, 2019 and everything was truly phenomenal! Ashley was incredibly responsive and helpful planning our cocktail hour and family-style reception dinner; her team is so professional and kind (they even brought me over an appetizer plate during cocktail hour while making my rounds, SO sweet!), and the food was absolutely delicious! Dominique is an incredible wedding planner, I don't know what I would have done without her, our wedding process and wedding day was so seamless, stress-free, and most importantly fun! I can't thank y'all enough, our wedding was the best day of our life, thank you SO much for being a part of making our day so special. -

Dominique was a god send! She made everything so easy for us and helped us relax when we were overwhelmed with details. We looked into a day of coordinator 2 months before the wedding. My only suggestion is to start working with one sooner to avoid any stress. She was absolutely amazing!! -

Smash Events is AHmazing!
When I started looking for my wedding vendor team, I started with catering. I had so many people tell me they were booked or extremely expensive 1.5 years before my wedding! When I finally found Smash, it was the biggest relief! Their preferred vendor package was everything we needed plus some. Ashley and her team were so accommodating and understanding. Chef Nestor really cares about the food and what he is serving. We asked for southern comfort foods and boy did they deliver! All together, they are an amazing team and the food was AWESOME! We got nothing but compliments. I only wish I could've eaten more! -

Delicious and Dedicated
Smash Events wears many hats and is FANTASTIC at them all! They were our caterers, bartenders, and event assistants at the wedding, and they NAILED IT!
The food (for both the cocktail hour and dinner) were delicious and beautifully presented. The bartenders were fun and attentive. The staff was friendly, helpful, and a step ahead of our needs.
Needless to say, they know what they're doing, and they're doing it right.
Any and all questions were answered timely and professionally. They eased us through the process of planning this out-of-state destination wedding.
On our special day, Smash Events made our guests feel at ease with their hospitality, and truly brought the day together with their attentiveness and flexibility.
Give Smash Events a go. You will not be disappointed!

Top wedding planner in Western North Carolina
Shayla is one of the most helpful, thorough wedding planners that I have ever worked with. She made my job as a wedding photographer so much easier. Shayla, at Smash Events Inc. developed the timeline with my clients. She took care of the needs of the family the day of the wedding and kept the ball rolling which allowed me to photograph every detail and moment. I appreciate that so much. Shayla, Appalachian Wedding Photography loves you.

Outstanding team & service!!
I cannot speak highly enough of this team! Just WOW! We were so lucky to hire Smash for planning, floral, and catering services. A true one stop shop. If you want an easy, cool, and reliable team to work with, these are your people.
Dominique was the most incredible wedding planner I could imagine. She is kind, calm, professional, organized, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. She kept me on track and kept my nerves at bay. Ashley is an expert florist and designer. She understood my vision and brought it to life. The catering was delicious, with a gorgeous presentation. All of our guests were raving about how tasty and amazing the service was.-

Delicious food (And great for special diets!)
Smash Events catered our wedding to perfection. We had a great initial meeting with them where they make you some test plates of their most popular dishes, then they help you create a cohesive menu for you and your guests with advice and suggestions. One of the most important things was that they provide vegetarian and gluten free options for some of our guests, and they more than came through with a variety of dishes that filled up everyone. All of the food was well prepared, well displayed, and absolutely delicious. They also made sure we were fed as well by bringing us plates personally. By the end of the night, they were completely cleaned up and cleared out, making the whole night easy and worry free. -

Above & Beyond & Then Some
Y'all hire Dominique and her team yesterday for everything! We just had Dominique as our full-service planner, but I wish we had hired Smash for food + flowers too because we were *so dang* impressed with Dominique's professionalism, her attentiveness to detail, and her calm and anxiety-relieved personality (we needed it). She worked with us every step of the way (though I wish we had hired Smash even earlier in our planning process), and helped us make all kinds of decisions (color palette, catering choices, flowers in bouquets v. tables, etc). I am SO GRATEFUL to have had Dominique to make our wedding come together, and y'all, she's so great! So friendly! Hire her and the rest of the Smash team before you do anything else. -

Great food, easy to work with
From the start, Ashley at smash was responsive and helpful. Smash events was a huge attribute to our wedding. We used the food truck for the rehearsal dinner, it was delicious and I liked that it made for a more informal dinner, allowing people to be able to mingle instead of all sitting down at the same time for a formal dinner. The food at the wedding reception was spectacular! No over cooked steak or dry chicken! There are so many menu options and they are probably all delicious. The staff was prompt, professional, and accommodating. The bartender made excellent drinks!!
We also used smash for our wedding planner. Dominique was great! She did an excellent job of setting up, making sure everything ran smoothly and sending us off. She listened to my ideas and help make them come to life for a perfect wedding day! She was quick to respond to my emails, answered all the questions I had, and help finds solutions to any issues that arose. I had no doubt that we were in good hands with this team! -

Perfection!!
It was our pleasure and delight to work with Dominique and Smash Events for our daughter's wedding on May 5, 2018 ... Samantha Ruckman and Lucas Randazzo at Betty's Creek. She was always several steps ahead of us in thinking of what might need to be done or needed to be taken care of and she took what could have been a very stressful time and turned it into a breeze for us. I honestly don't know how we would have been successful in accomplishing such a carefree wedding without her and her staff!! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning a wedding - YOU NEED Dominique and Smash Events at your side because she won't forget a thing and you will be delighted with the results she and her staff bring to the day you want to be perfect!! Fred and Autumn Ruckman -

Wow, just wow!!
Wow, just wow!! How can I express how amazing Ashley and her team are?!? I used Smash Events for catering, floral, and wedding coordination (Dominique) and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Ashley's client's dreams are her dreams. She is amazingly talented, doing all sorts of different events, but she makes you feel like your event is her favorite! She delights in learning your personality and tastes, being creative, and making your day a million times better than expected! I emailed her in a panic, at the last minute questioning the florals I'd asked for. She asked me a few questions and in seconds, her brilliant mind crafted the most amazing plan! I walked into the space the day of and was overcome with emotion at how perfectly she had understood my vision and executed above expectations! Smash's food is incredible...everything is the best version of that food you've ever tasted, trust me, and guests commented that it was better than the 5 star dinner they had had the night before! Presentation is awesome, an art of its own, and creatively blending effortlessly into the space. Lastly, coordination...Dominique was fantastic! I emailed her way too many documents full of questions, details, schedules, and lists and she kept them all straight, read every last word, and executed flawlessly! She has a great eye and took all of our visions and made them 100x better, making great suggestions, keeping everyone calm and on time, and ensuring we had everything we needed! It was a tremendous bonus to have our coordinator, caterer, and florist all connected, all on the same page, used to one another's flow, and blending everything together perfectly! I cannot say enough about Smash Events and I absolutely promise that if you book them, you will not be disappointed!!! -

Wonderful experience with SMASH
Ashley and the Smash Events Team did an EPIC job for our wedding. We worked with Smash for our food and flowers which was a big help as my husband and I planned our wedding while living in Europe.
I had almost decided to go with a different vendor but decided to email Ashley on a whim. She wrote back almost immediately! When I read the quote I couldn’t believe it. The quote was very affordable and had the add in bonus of a late night FOOD TRUCK at the end of the night. When I read that, I was SOLD!
As we were living so far away we had to make a food vendor choice before trying the food. Ashley and the Smash Events Team had already catered weddings at my venue Honeysuckle Hill and had awesome reviews online. I trusted my gut and we were not disappointed.
As we continued to plan our wedding I learned that the Smash Events Team could add in flowers. I figured it was a no brainer to bundle the two together and working with less people made it one less thing for us to worry about.
We were able to meet with Ashley in person during our very short visit during the December holidays. She was WONDERFUL! We had the best time at our tasting and the food was incredible. As Ashley had worked in the venue she was a great person to bounce ideas off of for my vision.
We just had our wedding a week ago. Everything was beautiful and delicious! The flowers were gorgeous really adding a romantic touch to the venue. The food was incredible and portions were HUGE! No one went hungry. I am still dreaming about the chicken and waffle bites. We also added in a s’mores bar which was a fun touch and I believe will be a lifelong memory for all the kiddos in attendance - they were loving it and gave them an exciting activity for the end the night.

This will be a long review so let me start by saying – AMAZING! YOU MUST HIRE THEM! Wedding planning can be stressful. You need people you can rely on and Smash Events is the way to go! I would get married every weekend if it meant I had Ashley and Dominique on my team!
Wedding Coordinator Review: We hired Dominique as our month-of coordinator. Having Dominique was hands down the BEST decision I ever made when hiring vendors. She went above and beyond my expectations! (And I should mention, my expectations were high since I used to be an event planner myself.) I must also mention, I had a vendor that was difficult to work with and Dominique made it seem so easy! She stepped in where other vendors were slacking, she stayed professional and handled difficult and stressful personalities well and she was my listening ear when I had to call her every day the week leading up to my wedding just to hear her say everything is fine! With Dominique on your team, you honestly don’t need to worry about a thing.
Florist Review: Ashley did an amazing job with my floral. All I had to do was show her my Pinterest board and she ran with it. It turned out better than I could have ever imagined and better than any photo on my Pinterest. The floral décor was by far my favorite décor at our wedding – I can’t tell you how many guests commented on my bouquet.
Food Review: We used Smash Events Mobile Kitchen (their food truck) for our rehearsal dinner. I’m still craving their Holy Mole Quesadilla. We had 36 people and I was so surprised at how quickly the guests received their food and how organized it ended up being. Not to mention, all my guests loved the food!

Ashely and the Smash Team were amazing to work with! Their food was delish and gorgeous AND they helped where our other vendors fell short - so grateful!!! It was very clear that they care about their quality of service and that showed through the whole process.
I really couldn't imagine our wedding without Ashley and the Smash Team. I would recommend them to anyone needing catering and/or event planning!! -

We had a welcome party the night before our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. It was a destination wedding which we had never been to the venue or tasted the food. Shot in the dark. Ashley was so professional, always responded to my calls and emails as soon as she received them, and walked me through the whole event. Can't express enough how pleased we were with the staff, the service, but most of all the food! Absolutely delicious, good comments from the guests, and very creative. I highly recommend the food and the staff! -

Ashley did such an amazing job with our wedding food and floral! We had a super fun menu of tacos, BBQ sundaes and a mac and cheese bar, as well as some delicious passed appetizers. People said it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding, and I agreed with them! Ashley was also very flexible and down to create whatever menu we wanted.
We also tapped Ashley's team to do signature cocktails, which were so so good. (Watermelon mojito of my dreams.) AND she did our personal florals and wedding arbor decor, which was incredibly beautiful.
Hire Ashley and her team, you won't regret it! -

When I first started working with Ashley and Smash Events, I wondered if things might be too good to be true-- their pricing is incredible, their catering services include set up and clean up, full service (we opted for plated dinners over a buffet), bartenders, etc. AND all of their personnel are paid a just wage, which was very important to me. I realized quickly that things are not too good to be true- Smash is just AMAZING at what they do. The catering tasting was so much fun, and Ashley was great about communicating during the months prior to the big day. I felt comfortable emailing her with small detail things, and she was a great advisor as I made decisions. She was also incredibly flexible as some of the wedding plans shifted here and there-- she was generous in amending our contract together several times so that it really reflected what my husband and I wanted.
Wedding Day (11/18) was absolutely perfect. Every detail in the catering and the floral design was intentional and creative. The guests LOVED the meal -- it was classed-up BBQ (meat and veggie) and many of them are still talking about the cheese display during the cocktail hour. Ashley and her team were super kind, fun, and easy to work with. Afterward, everything was cleaned up within 30 minutes! The flowers and greenery were stunning- they really made the space come to life. I was wow-ed. If you are getting married anywhere in the Asheville area, I can't recommend Smash more. They are truly an events company that will put their all into your day! THANK YOU SMASH! -

Delicious!!!! We had multiple guests tell us this was the best wedding food they had ever had. Smash provided our cocktail hour food, family style dinner, and a late night taco/quesadilla snack (served from their food truck). All were outstanding. They also provided wait staff, bartenders and drink stations. The service was amazing; the family style dinner was served hot and looked fantastic. Leading up to the wedding, Smash was amazing as well. The tasting was awesome and gave us a great idea of what would be served at the wedding. We had multiple changes right before the big day, and they handled them in stride (including requests for dietary restrictions from a few guests). Again, and most importantly though, the food was AMAZING!! -

Smash provided catering, bartending and florals for our wedding on 8/26/2017 and they were absolutely amazing. Their entire team was incredibly professional, kind, and talented! Ashley was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, answering all of my (many) questions and offering advice. She was also flexible and willing to work with us on our ideas and budget. The food was DELICIOUS- our guests were blown away and said that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! Everything we ate was amazing (and we highly recommend the chicken and waffles)! Smash also provided my bridal bouquet and flower crowns, which were colorful, fresh, and gorgeous- they completely fulfilled my vision!
The best thing about Smash is that they put me completely at ease- this team provides much more than just catering and were a joy to work with. We could not have asked for more and are so grateful for their help in making our day one of the best of our lives! Thank you!! -

(almost) Literally from soup to nuts! We used Smash for wedding planning (Dominque was a delight, professional, supportive and detailed: she made it seem like nothing was too much to ask and...we asked-lol), florals and food. The pricing was excellent and we got great value for our money. The florals were exactly what we wanted at a great price. The food was interesting, delicious and won rave reviews at great pricing. Even the food truck got raves from guests who said things like, "This was the best quesadilla" we ever had. I asked the chef what made the food so special and they said they even make their own spices! I cannot say enough great things about this company and how I felt they took such good care of the wedding party and guests. They did not miss a trick...as I said, "from soup to nuts!" -

I can't say enough great things about SMASH events. My husband and I are living in Atlanta and wanted to get married at my parents' mountain house in Maggie Valley. I never would have been able to pull it off without SMASH. Dominique handled all of the rental orders and was with us every step of the way. Ashley was able to create our dream wedding without me having to give much input at all. Everyone, including myself, were blown away by the florals, centerpieces, and all the decor Ashley created. You can easily tell they pour their hearts into what they do and just want you to have the best experience possible. I'm so happy I chose SMASH to handle everything. I had zero stress that day only because I knew all the details were taken care of by them. The food was incredible. We still get comments about how good the passed apps were. All of the staff the day of the wedding were very nice and accommodating. I just can't thank you guys enough. It was truly the best day of our lives. -

They are so helpful, so knowledgeable, and the food was SO GOOD!!! I recommend them 100%. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, choose Dominique! She was patient, kind and had the best ideas. She executed everything flawlessly and made sure we stayed on track. I cannot say enough nice things about working with her! -

You are in the best hands with Smash Events. Doing a destination wedding can be very stressful. Having professional wedding planners like Smash Events eliminates that stress. Everything was absolutely perfect. Ashley and Dominique were both wonderful to work with. Always on top of things, accomodating, pleasant, professional, nice, fun and calm. -

Smash was excellent!!! I worked with Ashley, and she provided both catering and florals for our wedding and exceeded expectations for both. She was so flexible and accommodating, and even when I was taking weeks to answer emails she was incredibly patient. I knew nothing about flowers or planning a wedding and she truly went above and beyond her job description to help me, I felt like she was really invested in me and my wedding. I got so many compliments on the beauty of the flowers, they were my primary decoration and people adored them. The food was out of this world (even reheated at midnight when me and my husband finally ate haha) Their stations were really cool, and unique and completely customized to us. I had forgotten a major component and Ashley was able to handle it for me last minute, absolutely no problem, she was so kind and accommodating. I definitely recommend Smash for Florals and Catering, both were out of this world. -

There are a few things that people remember from your wedding, and one of the MOST important is the food. We saw Smash Events on Wedding Wire and decided to make an appointment to meet with Ashley. She was very warm and inviting, easy to talk to and responsive to our questions. We were hooked by the reviews, so we booked with them. We met up with Ashley again to determine our menu and were blown away by the flavors. At our wedding, the food truck was on site, so all of the food was fresh and they were accommodating to our guests with food allergies and special diets. We were able to book servers as well with them to have a plated dinner, although buffet style was also an option. We opted to get an additional service with them - their day of coordinator, Dominique, who ensured that every part of our wedding day went off without a hitch. If there were any problems that day, we were not aware of them. We were very happy with the service we got with Smash Events. -

Brides and mothers of the bride will love Smash Events for wedding planning services! Our wedding planner, Dominique Mitchell, was a joy to work with! We relied heavily on her to help us with all aspects of planning and had complete confidence in her ability to manage the big day with competence and a sense of humor. We didn't have to worry about a single detail which enabled us to stay in the moment and thoroughly enjoy the wedding and reception. -

Oh my goodness! There are not enough words to say to explain how happy we were with Smash Events being a part of our wedding. Dominique was amazing, and she really helped us bring our dream day to life. People literally came up to me at our wedding at told me they had never been to such a well organized event. Dominique asked all the right questions, answered any silly questions I might of had, was very in touch with our other vendors, and probably the sweetest human I have ever met. We couldn't have done it with out Smash Events and we were so very fortunate that Dominique was part of our special day! -

Dominique was awesome and made our wedding day enjoyable for my wife and I. We can't thank Dominique enough for all of her help. Exceptional service is hard to find these days! Dominique even asked if she could bring us drinks while we were taking photos. Her help started way before the wedding and lasted until after the wedding. Looking back, the one thing I would not go without is and exceptional wedding planning / coordinator. Dominique / Smash events will make your wedding stress free and make sure everything is executed properly.

WOW is one word that I would use to describe my experience with Smash Events. They catered our wedding of 170 people and also did all of our flowers. We had mini chicken and waffles and grilled cheese with tomato soup as our passed h'ordeuvres and everyone LOVED them. Our taco bar and mac n' cheese station was also a hit and people couldn't stop bragging about how amazing the food was. Ashley was so easy to work with and gave us plenty of food to try at our food tasting. Not only was the food amazing but they did an outstanding job with the flowers too. All of the centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres were beyond beautiful and unique and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Their prices are extremely reasonable and the experience you get with Smash Events is truly amazing. The price, the amazing people and the awesome experience is why I would recommend Smash Events to anyone! -

Ashley and her team are wonderful. We have gotten nothing but compliments on all of the food they served at our wedding. The Smash team worked so closely with us to craft just the menu we wanted for our big day. Ashely paid attention to every food preference and allergy. We chose Smash above other caterers based on their attention to detail and willingness to help coordinate our rentals and bar service- that made a huge difference when we went with a venue where we had to bring in everything! I appreciate that they pay their staff a living wage and all of the employees were very friendly and seemed to be happy to be part of the Smash team. Everything was itemized and there were no surprise charges, we got a ton of food and it was a great value. The food was so tasty and fresh, we are so happy that we went with Smash for our catering! -

Ashley is a dream to work with. She 'got' my vision and brought it to life... in a way that didn't break my bank account. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat the food at my wedding (too busy feeling the love!!) but I still have guests today - five months later - say how delicious it was. And my florals? Stunning. Thank you to Ashley and the dream team. xx -

I was trying to be critical in my ratings but Smash Events really deserved five stars across the board. From the moment I contacted them for a quote, they were responsive, professional, and also just super nice. We used them for florals and wedding coordination and they went above and beyond (for an unbelievable price). Our wedding planner Dominique was so organised and just amazing leading up to the wedding; it honestly kind of felt like she had a few clones of herself to manage a million details at one time. Ashley did our florals and was a pro at translating my hodge-podge Pinterest board into an actual wedding. They consistently went above and beyond and made me feel so special before, during and after. We're really happy with a lot of the decisions we made about our wedding, but hiring Smash has to be up there as one of the best - I can't imagine our wedding without them! -

We used Smash Events for my daughter’s wedding and are sure glad we did! We used them for catering, floral and wedding planning and were not disappointed. Smash has their own mobile kitchen food truck so all meals are prepared on site. They don’t pre-cook their food, which is a big bonus as most caterers do this. When we decided on Smash for the catering, we went to a tasting at their house. Every single dish was delicious. My daughter wanted a tapas style menu and boy were we in for a treat. We started with passed appetizers at the cocktail hour. Our guests were delighted! The chicken and waffles was superb. Each of the tapas were served at the reception dinner by a great staff, who also promptly picked up the empty dishes. It was all perfect including the signature drink they created for us. The bride requires a gluten free diet and Smash even went out of their way to accommodate her diet and several of our guests, including the vegetarians. Ashley also did all of the floral arrangements. All I can say is wow. She nailed the bride’s bohemian vision. Check out their FB page for photos. We had thought about doing our own arrangements but I’m so glad we didn’t do that. It would have made the day too stressful. I saw how hard Ashley was working to get it all done and that could have been me. Dominique was the wedding planner and she is also a gem. She spent ample time with Sarah so she understood the vibe she was trying to create. Sarah had made many of the decorations and designed the look of the rest. It’s generally hard to implement someone else’s ideas but Dominique took care of so many details & nailed it! We were so grateful for her help. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding team. We are very thankful to them for creating a magical and amazing wedding. Our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Sarah and Drew said it was the best weekend of their lives. You can’t get any better than that! -

Smash simply rocks! Wonderful folks to work and plan with- we were so fortunate to have them for the best food EVER (and extremely reasonable!) and for their attention to every detail. Ashley and Dominique are creative beyond words and so supportive of our desire to have a non-traditional wedding. They understood our vision and worked so very hard to make it happen for us. We loved every minute of working with them. You can't go wrong with the entire Smash Events crew! -

Ashley helped me plan our destination wedding! We mainly communicated via e-mail and phone and she was excellent. We ended up having the macaroni station and heavy hors d'oeurves as our main meal, which was extraordinary. I have no idea how she made everything so classy and beautiful. I wanted a woodsy aesthetic and she provided a layout that went beautifully with our theme. We also booked their hot chocolate station and s'mores station and OH MY GOSH, it was worth it. It gave the guests something fun to do and the kids loves making their own dessert. Everything was incredible and, trust me, I'm picky. I would recommend them to anyone (especially the mini chicken and waffles)!

We absolutely loved working with Ashley and her husband from Smash Box! Our guests loved ordering from the food truck, and are STILL talking about the incredible food. Ashley helped provide a stress free atmosphere so we could dance the night away without a care in the world. I even had two guests that needed assistance and her team was right on it. The Smash Box team was accommodating, thoughtful, and hardworking! Brides, if you want to focus on your special day and nothing else..then you must hire smash box! Thanks for making us feel like family! -Nick & Lael -

Ashley and her team were PHENOMENAL for our wedding. She is so chill and was super accommodating to what we were looking for. Our food was DELICIOUS and we got tons of compliments on it. She also provided our florals and when I saw them, I almost started crying--they were so beautiful! Smash just made the process much easier on me. I completely trusted them which took away half of my stress. I would 100% recommend Smash Events Inc. to anyone getting married! -

Smash Events catered our rehearsal dinner, and they did not disappoint! Their food was absolutely amazing!! So many guests commented that it was the best food ever. We got to do a tasting beforehand, which left us over-the-moon and nearly comatose. Everything was delicious...it was extremely hard to choose our menu. They were also accommodating for some guests with dietary restrictions. We can't express how friendly the staff were. Ashley and Nestor (her husband and head chef) are an incredible team that made everyone feel welcome. The rest of their staff fit this mold as well. We are thrilled that we were able to book Smash Events. We definitely recommend them to anyone that likes great food! -

A wedding may happen once in a life-time. It can also be the most stressful event for a couple and parents. With that said, I had no idea how much was really involved when my daughter and I began planning her wedding. Not only did she live on the other side of the country, but the wedding would be held in Asheville where neither of us lived. Smash Events handled it all so smoothly and beautifully. Even when the forecast called for torrential rain for our outdoor wedding, they calmly and smoothly controlled the changes and eased our minds. The value for their services is so much greater than what they charged. The creativity of their services is also outstanding. We simply could not have had a more beautiful event and a more easy process. They handled everything - even coordination of things they did not arrange. The food was delicious! The wedding beautiful! A more memorable event I cannot imagine. Smash Events has my gratitude and kudos for such a wonderful experience. We had their full attention from start to finish and it could not have been smoother. -

Smash did a wonderful job catering the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding. They were a delight to work with ahead of time, always very responsive to questions and accommodating of our requests. The food was absolutely delicious. I had rave reviews from our guests all weekend. It was beautifully presented, tasty and unique. Nothing ordinary -- all extraordinary. The staff who served us were excellent too-- perfect balance of professional efficiency and friendly banter. My son and daughter-in-law were so pleased and so was I. Without question I'd use them again and recommend them most highly. -

It was our lucky day almost a year ago when my daughter and I met this outgoing, energetic, happy young woman named Ashley from Smash Events. From the moment she walked in the door to the moment we hugged at the end of our wedding festivities she brought so much positive energy into our lives and into the wedding my daughter dreamed of. She is more then an "event planner", she is now our friend. I mention this first in my review because I think it is a rarity to finish the long, emotional process of hosting a wedding and to be able to honestly say that not only was the end result PERFECT but the process was fun, stress free and I found a new friend in the journey. There is no doubt in my mind that Ashley was born to do this....her passion, attention to detail, creative spirit, organizational skills, team building attitude and good heart set a new standard for this business. My advice to ANYONE planning ANYTHING is to bring Ashley into the process, give her space to be creative then sit back and watch the magic unfold. We did and the results exceeded anything we could imagine. If the highest rating were a 10, I would give Ashley and her Smash Events Team a 20. -

What can you say about a person that makes your dreams come true? Ashley and her crew at Smash Events gave us a wedding beyond our wildest dreams. Smash Events provided us flowers, catered our wedding, and provided wedding planning. The flowers that Smash Events provided were stunning and unique. The food was (and still is) the talk of the town! It was all fresh, made at the wedding site, and absolutely delicious. As a wedding planner, Ashley is attentive, thorough, thoughtful, and enthusiastic and the wedding that she created for my (now) husband and I was a work of art. Throughout the year of planning, Ashley was always there for us with whatever questions that we had and she went above and beyond in the days before the wedding. As an example: Ashley and Smash Events arrived at the wedding venue (it's about an hour and a half away from her home) on Thursday (worked until about 1:30 am), came back on Friday morning, worked all day and stayed Friday night at the venue so she could get up early on Saturday and make sure everything was perfect...and it was. My advice to any couples out there looking for a wedding planner, florist, caterer, and friend...go with Ashley at Smash Events. My other piece of advice is to give her creative and artistic freedom and what you get will be beyond anything you could imagine. -

We used Smash Events to cater our wedding and create the bouquets and boutonnieres. Ashley was amazing! The food was unbelievable and the flowers were exactly what we wanted! She and her staff were professional and courteous. Ashley listened and understood the vision we had for our wedding and was able to recommend other vendors and ideas along the way. She was always available and happy to answer questions. Our guests were extremely pleased with the food and all left the wedding happy and full! Wedding planning can be stressful and having a great person on your side is so important. Ashley made the wedding planning process easy and enjoyable for us and we would highly recommend Ashely and the Smash Events crew for any function! -

Smash Events was excellent from the start all the way to the very end. They really exhibited great organization, enthusiasm and lots of creativity! We really appreciated their ability to stay with in our budget yet still come up with SO many ways to bring elegance, class, and beauty to our wedding ceremony & reception. It was sooooooo wonderful for us not have to worry about all the details and just enjoy every second of our day and all our guests! I really was able to trust Ashley & Ashley knowing that they would get the job done with complete perfection! They really went above and beyond in all categories thinking of every detail and really capturing our vision of what we wanted everything to look like! I also need to mention that Smash Events (Ashleys x's 2) did all of this within 4 months since we wanted to get married soon after our engagement! They really are EXTREMELY talented in what they do. I would highly highly recommend them to anyone for any event especially weddings! They have the best of both worlds, creativity & organization; not to mention they are a blast to work with! -

We had Smash Events for our son's rehearsal dinner the night before their wedding. We wanted the dinner to be a fun and casual event, and outdoors. We put up lights, tables and chairs, and Smash Events took care of the rest. It was beyond amazing - it was magical! The food was fantastic, everyone loved it, and it was fun for guests to order their selection right from the truck. The bride and groom wanted vegetarian and Ashley worked with me to come up with a menu to fit that. For desert Smash Box had a s'mores bar. Who would have thought of something so cute and special? We had a smallish fire ring in the yard and Ashley set up everything else: a sweet little table with a vase of sticks and marshmallows, and a display of gourmet fixings.
I think when you pick Smash Box for your event, you get more than great food, you get the whole experience, and the unique nature of it created a memorable event that all of us will cherish. I'd love to have another chance to have Smash Box for a party again! -

Ashley and her team were fantastic. Even though it was a rainy evening for our wedding rehearsal dinner, everyone had a great time, especially since we didn't have to leave our venue for dinner. Ashley set up the food truck early and had everything ready to go after our rehearsal. The food was wonderful and the service was great. The food was hot and tasty and several people, including me, went back for seconds. The wedding party is still talking about the BBQ sliders and fish tacos. We will definitely use Smash Events again for any future events we have in Asheville. -

Smash Events, Inc recently catered our Tech Show at Advanced Business Equipment. Working with Ashley was incredible she was able to help me keep within the budget I had but still provided the best food selection! The attention to detail that went into the presentation was incredible! I wish I had thought to get some pictures but everyone was too busy eating the delicious variety of food that was being served. And the best part because they are a mobile kitchen all of the food was fresh and being served as it was cooked. Everyone is still raving about how good the food was and a few of the attendees were so impressed they are looking to hire Smash Events for future catering jobs. I will definitely always use Smash Events for all of our upcoming corporate functions (and any personal functions that arise)! They are professional, friendly and the food was simply amazing! -

I am originally from China, so when my now husband and I got engaged, we
knew that it would be hard for most of his family to travel to our wedding there.
My mother-in-law organized a reception here in the States for members of my
husband’s family who could not attend our Chinese wedding. My mother-in-law
decided to hire an event planner to organize and design the reception, and allowed
me to make all of the decisions! Although we live in California and the reception
was to take place on the East Coast, Ashley was able to understand and execute
all of my ideas and even added special touches that we didn’t even discuss! On the
day of our reception, everything ran perfectly according to the timeline we had
written, and if anything went wrong, my family, as well as my guests, were blissfully
unaware. Talking to her via phone and email, I could tell that she was clearly
passionate about what she does, and her stunning design and attention to detail
at my reception were true reflections of that passion. I highly recommend Ashley
Teran and her team! -

I cannot say enough good things about Smash Events, Inc. and the amazing 1st birthday party they created for my daughter, Olivia. From my very first interaction with Smash Events, I got a sense of their excitement and desire to really create a spectacular event for us. Ashley sat down with me in the beginning wanting to hear what I had in mind for the event but was then able to come up with so many extra details and ideas that I could have never conjured up on my own!
The end result was a memorable 1st birthday party that truly “wowed” not only the guests but me and my husband as well! The party was absolutely gorgeous and their attention to detail was impeccable. From the homemade centerpieces to the cupcake toppers, and the presentation of the customized dessert bar – it was all completely breathtaking. The catering they provided for the customized burrito bar was phenomenal and received RAVE reviews from several of my friends whose palates are normally pretty hard to impress. On top of all that, their catering prices were way less than what we were quoted from other caterers in town AND their price included having an onsite chef & staff who served our guests!
I am so grateful for the staff at Smash Events, Inc. for putting so much time, effort and love into this event. They were completely professional yet personable from start to finish and were able to take care of all of the details as well as interactions with other vendors so that I didn’t have to! I was able to relinquish all responsibility of planning a party of such magnitude to these guys with complete confidence. Thank you guys SO much for everything! -
