All the vendors involved from cake, florist, officiant, photographer, and videographer were amazing to work with. Cassie was outstanding to coordinate with - she helped us through every step of the process. Meghan Rolfe was also such an amazing photographer. Day of she made us feel so relaxed and reminded us to be in the moment. We absolutely love our photos! We also worked with Heartistree Studios for our wedding video and could not have been happier with the final product. We highly recommend going with a package that includes a video highlight - you will not regret it! We are so honored and grateful to have had Elope Outdoors plan and execute our big day!

I loved that EO gave the option to have a true elopement OR a micro-wedding. After emailing back and forth with Meghan, we pretty much had everything decided-- it was that easy! As we got closer to the wedding, I was in contact with Cassie, who could not have been more sweet! She made sure I was kept in the loop the whole time and made sure to address any questions or concerns really quickly. Our officiant, Michael, was great and really listened to what we wanted. He was also super cool about us adding our own vows with only about a month til the wedding. Our photographer, Amy, was also really sweet and very understanding when makeup was a bit late. Although I haven't seen pictures yet, I'm confident that they'll be beautiful. We had a very small ceremony (8 guests) at The Cabin Ridge in Hendersonville. What an amazing venue!! Pictures don't even do this place justice. The guys and gals had separate cabins to get ready in, which was perfect for hair and makeup and avoiding wrinkled suits from the car. The wedding day assistant, Ginny, was a dream to work with and even put up my arch decor while I got ready! If you're looking for something that takes the normal "wedding stress" off the table, Elope Outdoors is it. They took care of the photography, flowers, officiant and venue. Although a bit biased, our family said it was the best wedding they've been to. :)

I contacted her only a few weeks before the wedding date and she guided me through what I needed to do, and was even so kind as to make the most beautiful bouquets for my daughter and I, then return my husband's tux since we were flying back home. She knew exactly where the best photo spots were, and made sure the focus was on us, not her officiating. We got a speeding ticket on the way, her officiant got COVID last minute, and our baby was a nightmare, but she somehow still made our day perfect by doing both the officiating and photography. Absolutely the kindest soul and everything we could have asked for. Not to mention, our photos came out BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much Addy!!!

We came from out of town and were a bit nervous about spending money sight unseen. I think, we would have paid double if, we knew then, what we experienced on our wedding day. If you and your significant other are planning to get married, I cannot scream loud enough - DON'T WASTE MONEY ON A HUGE WEDDING! If you are able, go to Asheville and let JP and his wife guide you through a seamless ceremony. No stress, no worries, no regrets! We were able to pamper ourselves all weekend. We added the videographer to capture all the fun. It was just the two of us along with JP and Crystal. We honestly felt like we were with our friends. They made us so comfortable and relaxed. There was no rushing at all. We can't wait to get our photos and video. With all the money we saved by eloping, we were able to comfortably spoil ourselves to the fullest. Lots of Spa treatments, fine dining, shopping, Biltmore Estate....... Trust me on this......Don't waste money on some huge affair that you have to pay for, for years to come. Thank you so very much JP and Crystal.

It was my first experience for a destination wedding in an outside venue with guest accommodations on-site. If that is what you have in mind, look no further...this is THE place. They have weddings in a field of Sunflowers! You get a horse drawn carriage to deliver the betrothed couple to a field of wild flowers to begin the ceremony. All your guests, walk a short distance to a massive tent for the reception. You dance, you sing, you dance some more, you celebrate the joy with family & friends, all the people you care about are in one spot, not for just a wedding ceremony but for the entire weekend! You can experience all this in the natural beauty of a Western North Carolina valley right on the Swannona River. The Cherokee call it 'beautiful river' and it is that. They assist in coordinating everything. Yes, everything from flowers to photos, food, DJ and live music. Ben Pham, Andy Pond and other locals from Gypsy Grass were fantastic! Though it feels like you're in a remote farm/ranch type environment, you are just minutes away from East Asheville and easy access off I-40. We knew it was a farm when we heard the braying mule, the clucking chickens & crowing roosters all doing doing what they do while the horses roam in their pens. Ms Jeanne Sommer and her team provide all the resources for planning an event you will never forget. It was a wedding ceremony that finished with a flare of natural beauty, Ms Sommer...que the rainbow! What else could you ask for on such a special day?

They made the entire wedding planning process so easy and stress-free, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The kind of expertise, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness they exude is rare; you don't see this at many wedding venues. Jen is WONDERFUL: passionate, creative, incredibly responsive, and genuinely invested in making your wedding everything you've dreamed of. Kimberly, our day-of coordinator, was also 10/10 FANTASTIC. She went above and beyond for us and made sure every detail was taken care of so we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Honestly, the entire staff is so friendly and clearly cares a lot about this business. My family couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everyone was! And speaking of the big day... it was perfect. We owe so much of that to the Haiku team and their ability to bring our vision and dreams to life. Every single vendor we worked with also commented on how incredible Haiku is to work with, which says so much about the kind of team they are. I seriously cannot recommend this venue enough. If y'all are considering Haiku, stop looking and book it. You will be in the best hands! I promise.
