    Incredible Wedding Planning Experience

    From the moment we started working with Nicole, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Nicole’s communication was impeccable. She consistently kept us in the loop with updates, ideas, and suggestions, ensuring that our vision was brought to life in the most stunning way possible. Her ability to listen and truly understand what we wanted made all the difference.

    Nicole's organizational skills are second to none. She was always prepared and had everything under control without ever being pushy. Her calm and reassuring demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Nicole really took the time to get to know my mother and me, creating a personal connection that made us feel supported and understood every step of the way.

    One of the many ways Nicole went above and beyond was by arranging for the grass to be cut last-minute, ensuring that every last detail of our ceremony was perfect. Her foresight and dedication didn’t stop there—she even had an on-site seamstress available, who quite literally saved the day. This level of care and attention to detail is what truly sets Nicole apart.

    Nicole's incredible staff and assistants were just as professional and kind. They worked seamlessly together to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day without a worry.

    Thanks to Nicole, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day truly magical. Thank you, Nicole, for making our wedding unforgettable!

    BEST Wedding Planner in the Carolina's!

    If you are lucky enough to have the chance to work with Nicole as your wedding planner, do it! Could not recommend her enough. Not only did she bring my vision to life - she made our wedding day beautiful, seamless, and so much fun. I will truly miss working with her! She has the kindest heart, and such a positive energy. She is incredibly talented - she has a subtle way of being your fearless leader, but also being your teammate throughout the process.

    Nicole worked behind the scenes coordinating every single detail with our venue and vendors while and eased my worries that I was forgetting something every step of the way. Planning a destination wedding is not easy but she perfected every detail. I promise, you will LOVE her as much as we did!

    Exceptional Wedding Planning

    We had the pleasure of working with Nicole for over a year and a half as we planned our wedding. From the very beginning, Nicole's expertise and unwavering attention to detail shone brightly, guiding us through every step of the journey with grace and professionalism.
    About six months before our wedding, our family faced an unexpected medical emergency, throwing a curveball into our wedding plans. In this challenging time, Nicole went above and beyond, extending her support beyond the realm of wedding logistics. Her compassion and empathy were invaluable, and her proactive, organized approach shielded us from unnecessary stress, allowing us to focus on what truly mattered.
    Nicole’s wealth of knowledge, intentionality, and down-to-earth demeanor made collaborating with her an absolute joy. We are forever grateful for her role in making our wedding truly unforgettable. If you're searching for a wedding planner who will not only execute flawlessly but also support you with warmth and compassion every step of the way, look no further than Nicole and the Wedding Connections team!

    Very helpful and a great experience

    We worked with Nicole for our wedding at the Cathedral of All Souls and she was great! She helped us coordinate with the church, determine the best possible flow and kept us on track on the day of the wedding. Nicole made the decision-making process so easy and much less stressful with her hands-on approach. Nicole is a great person who I would highly recommend working with for your wedding!

    This wedding will be a Life time memory

    The wedding has much more exceeded my expectation. It was so perfect and beautiful. All of the guests enjoyed this a lot. The magic thing is that I only put some photos on pinterest and shared with Nicole. She has made my wedding exactly as what I have in my mind and even better. This is a life time memory for me. She is amazing! I chose full planning service because I don't know much about planning an event nor do I have time for it. She did most of the things by herself. I feel like I only need to enjoy the moment. Highly recommended!

    Amazing Wedding Planning

    Wedding Connections
    When we began planning our wedding almost three years ago, Wedding Connections quickly impressed us as the wedding planning service of choice. We worked with the original owner, Sara Field-Bridges, and the new owner, Nicole Luka, to get us to the big day. Both Nicole and Sara were very responsive (which I cannot stress enough how amazing this was), extremely well organized, and clear subject matter experts in their field. Their large network of wedding vendors ensured we had the best that was to offer in Asheville. They were also extremely helpful in navigating us through delays because of the pandemic and were with us every step of the way. Through their guidance, we had a wedding that our attendees say was “the best wedding” they’ve ever been to Nicole loves what she does, and the results speak clearly to that. Our wedding day was a work of art, with so many moving parts, all of them expertly managed by Nicole. The best is that through the planning, the delays, and everything else, we gained some amazing friends.

    Asheville destination wedding made easy!

    Planning a destination wedding is tough enough but with Sara and Wedconnections you won’t have any stress. They are a professional, well-connected team that can make your wedding dreams come true. The planning process was organized, having monthly to weekly check-ins made us feel very comfortable. The day of logistics were amazing, Sara kept the people moving. Everything went according to plan and I was overwhelmed with how professional her team was. She really does take the time to get to know you both while being your advocate they entire time. Loved it all, I would highly recommend Sara and her team to anyone planning a wedding in Asheville.

    Calm, Cool, and Collected!

    I worked with Holly and her team for my wedding "day of coordination" and it was the best decision I made! Holly did way more than "day of" services for me. We had several phone calls and email exchanges leading up to the wedding weekend. She helped me stay organized and prompted me to think of important details that I probably wouldn't have even thought about had I not been bouncing ideas off of a professional. The thing I loved the most was Holly's calm and confident personality. She was very assertive without stressing anyone out which is so important when surrounded with domineering personalities. She was so knowledgeable and kept everything running smoothly. I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything. It went off without a hitch and I couldn't be more grateful!!

    A must for a unique, beautiful, and stress-free wedding

    Hands down the best money we spent on our wedding! Sara is so creative, thoughtful, professional, and detail oriented. My in-laws decided to hire her for the rehearsal dinner/welcome party as well, and the whole weekend was perfect! She makes sure you will not be worrying about anything on your wedding day. We loved all our vendors so much, and that was due to Sara's expertise and recommendations. She really listened to our vision and gave honest advice and unique ideas. I wanted a beautiful wedding that was a unique reflection of me and my husband, and that's what we got with Sara. I can't recommend her and the Wedding Connections team enough!

    Professionalism and Attention to Every Detail

    We had secured the venue, florist, photographer, etc for our daughter's wedding and felt we had everything in hand. We hired Frankie Keller and Holly Rogers with Wedding Connections as our Day-of-Coordinator and quickly realized we hadn't thought of so many details! Their professionalism and attention to every detail was instrumental in executing an absolutely beautiful wedding. I cannot thank them or recommend them highly enough!

    A Perfect Day

    Holly was an absolute treat to work with! My wife and I got married this past September in Asheville and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. Being a destination wedding, we knew we needed someone we could trust to get everything done from states away. She kept us at ease throughout our engagement in planning and the line of communication was always available. She's impossible not to get along with. Truthfully, she exceeded expectations and would recommend her and her team to anyone looking to have their perfect day met.

    Do yourself a favor, and get the best there is in Asheville.

    We knew when we interviewed Sara for our daughters Asheville (out of town for us) wedding, that she was our wedding planner, and so glad we did! She was a fountain of knowledge and was easy to work with, and very organized and attentive to our questions, and there were a LOT of questions. Super great ideas and ways to trim costs, and has great connections. We gave our daughter a "not to exceed" budget and I'll be darned if they did not come under budget. We could not have had my daughters wedding without Sara steering the ship, and that's no joke. The day was perfect. Sara even made my wedding speech when I introduced her as "the world's best wedding planner". Enough of the accolades. Do yourself a favor and hire the best, trust me on this one. Worth every penny.

    Beyond thrilled

    They took the stress off it all. Kept us on track for budget and gentle reminders of what to do next. We love WEDDING CONNECTIONS and are sorry we don't have another daughter getting married so we can work with these amazing women again. They have the best vendors and a wonderful working relationship. with all of them. Who could ask for more?

    Absolute pleasure!

    We had a destination wedding where my parents (who were a part of the planning) were in Chicago, we were in New York, and Sara in NC. She is unbelievably responsive and flexible, as in response to emails within an hour no matter what. I always felt comfortable and cared for and the wedding would have not been the same or as good as it was without her! She always calmed any anxiety and took care of us like we were her family. She is extremely organized and always willing to make your vision work! We love you Sara!

    Peace of mind for an out of town wedding

    Sara and her team were so easy to work with and gave me and my mom a stress-free wedding experience. I am an event planner day to day and was so nice to be a client for once! Being from out of town I was worried I wouldn't trust anyone and have to make multiple trips to Asheville, but Sara and her team made my wedding the wedding of my dreams with just two real visits to Asheville to plan. I went with all of their recommendations from floral to gifts to photographer. I cannot express how wonderful this group is and how good they are at what they do. My mom and I instantly knew from the day we met Sara that we would be taken care of. I will recommend ALL brides to work with Wedding Connections for the rest of my life!

    Holly is amazing!!

    Sorry if this is a double post - We worked with Holly and to say she was the best vendor we hired is a huge understatement! We started talking a few months out even though we only had a month-of package, and she was super helpful with recommendations the entire process!! I work in event planning myself so knew I could potentially be a demanding, type A bride, but Holly had every little detail covered and truly put me at ease!! There were a few hiccups during the day/night and she made sure everything went on without a hitch, and overall was such a huge part of making our big day as perfect as it was!!! Would highly recommend Holly and the Wedding Connections team to anyone!!

    Sara and Wedding Connections are THE BEST!

    After getting engaged and deciding we wanted to get married in the mountains of WNC, we flew up to NC, found our wedding venue and shortly after met with Sara. I left our meeting saying, "We need to have Sara for our wedding!" It felt like she just understood us instantly and on top of that she was SO GENUINE! Hiring Sara was the best decision we could have ever made! We were planning a wedding from Florida while also building a home at the same time, so I was in way over my head! She guided me through the whole wedding process and ensured I didn't forget a single detail. She was always accessible and a TOTAL pleasure to work with. One of the things that I greatly appreciated was how honest Sara was with me. She would also tell me if there was a less expensive option for something that I wanted. I talked to Sara several times each day leading up to the day of the wedding and she was my rock. On the day of, we had all the confidence in the world that everything was going to run smoothly and it did (or, if it wasn’t, we never had a clue??) - our wedding was a dream and so perfect. I am grateful for the Wedding Connections team. Our day would not have happened without them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Grace, Kindness, and Design Genius

    Sara is an amazing planner that consistently makes you feel like you’re her only client. Her kindness and grace made our wedding planning process run as smoothly as our wedding. Sara handled everything with ease and kept us blissfully unaware of any unexpected challenges on our big day so we could focus on each other and our guests. The Wedding Connections team was consistently amazing and designed a special day that was beyond our greatest imagination.

    Wedding Savior

    I cannot begin to describe how amazing Sara is. Choosing Wedding Connections was the best decision I could have made. The entire process was seamless with her. Sara was on top of everything and any question I had she had an answer. I was the lucky bride who picked the Saturday that Hurricane Florence threatened and Sara was amazing. Sara worked with the all the vendors and venue to make sure the hurricane was not going to ruin anything and everything ended up being perfect. She also had to deal with a difficult wedding guest and she handled it so flawlessly that no one even knew what happened. I had the most amazing, stress free day and it’s all thanks to Sara and Candice. They were on top of everything and made sure it was perfect and exactly to my liking. I cannot thank Sara enough for all she did for me in the planning process and the day of. If you are on the fence about a wedding planning, my advice is to get one, and the one you should go with is Wedding Connections! You will be making the best decision and your wedding will turn out amazing.

    Signing on a 6 month contract with Sara was the best money I spent on all of the wedding! I was planning a wedding from afar and in way over my head, and she provided us guidance, assurance, and made sure we didn't forget a single detail. The week leading up to the wedding and day of was a breeze - only room for excitement and enjoyment! She was extremely professional and receptive to all of our ideas, handled so many of the details (especially on site), and really made the wedding happen. Whether you are new to the wedding industry (like me) or have lifelong vision - Sara will help make your day perfect!

    We had a wonderful experience with Holly and everyone we interacted with at Wedding Connections from start to finish. I first spoke to the owner, Sara, for the initial consultation and one of the things that really sold me was that she explained what they offer first and then asked me questions about my wedding and what we would be looking for, so I knew that when she was talking and ticking my boxes it wasn't because she was just telling me what I had just told her I wanted to hear, they truly were a right fit for me (even mentioning things I wouldn't think of like knowing our drink orders so they can get it for us when we are too busy with our guests!). I have been an event planner so I'm a bit familiar with the process but had never planned a wedding so I was thankful for the resources they could provide as guidance and wanted to be sure that we (or our family members) wouldn't be working our entire wedding. I could tell by speaking with them that Holly was going to make sure the day-of we would only need to focus on eachother and our guests. In my opinion this is well worth the money.. the value of getting to enjoy your day that you put so much effort into is priceless.

    Holly was our day-of coordinater but we were able to communicate a lot beforehand. She checked in on me to make sure I was on track with my planning and made me feel very confident heading into the weekend. Candice was there to help her the day of and they were both extremely professional and positive and did a fabulous job setting up the venue. Holly also kept us both calm and collected when some last minute issues with our DJ came up and was able to help us make decisions so that guests never even knew anything went wrong. My mom also made a comment on how impressed she was with them. I am so glad we found wedding connections and would highly reccommend this talented team to any bride. They know their stuff and to top that, they are people you will want to remain friends with after :)

    Sara was so wonderful in making sure our big day went smoothly! We used her as a day-of coordinator but she went above and beyond just helping us that day. She's so sweet and pays attention to every detail, those you feel are most important and those you may not have thought about! Highly recommend using Sara and her team!!
