She is kind, understanding, quick to respond, and skilled at her job. Planning: Angie helped us save money and stick to our budget by helping us find high-quality vendors that fit the size and shape of our wedding. She is responsive and patient when handling the many logistics of hiring vendors- and so well-established that we were able to get discounts through her relationships with those vendors! Whenever we told other wedding workers that we were working with Angie, you could tell they were relieved, because they knew Angie would have it all taken care of! We got to focus on the fun stuff, because we knew Angie had our backs- this is exactly the planning experience we were looking for. Flexibility: We changed our mind on vendors, added on services for rehearsal dinner planning, and through it all Angie was so supportive in our decisions. She really listened and offered her expert opinion when she felt it was necessary. Rehearsal dinner: Especially for wrangling our families into doing the actual rehearsing, Angie did an amazing job! She thought of so many logistics for the ceremony that we didn't have to worry about because she was there. Day of Ceremony and Reception: Everything went so smoothly because of her work! She received all the deliveries (flowers, catering, cake, decorations, rentals, photobooth, DJ equipment) and helped problem solve any issues, while I relaxed in the bridal suite! Worth every penny and was a joy to work with. Cannot recommend more highly.

Angie is the BEST! I would give her 500 stars if I could…read more Angie is extremely experienced - which really made the wedding planning process so simple and easy. She knows a lot of vendors in the area, and was able to get us deals that we could not get on our own. She did all of the research and presented us with 2-3 options for each vendor that fit both our preferences and budget, so all of the stress was taken out of wedding planning. She also helps create a budget at the very beginning and helps you stick to that budget. She also creates very detailed timelines and makes sure the day of goes very smoothly. My wedding day was very calm/ stress free which is all because of her. I was engaged for two years (during Covid) and she replanned the wedding once and completely downsized it another time. Angie handled the entire thing - she basically planned 3 weddings for us. She really is so incredible - I cannot recommend her enough. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and it's all because of her

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with this elopement company. From start…read moreto finish, everything was effortless and beautifully orchestrated. We chose to elope in Tennessee on the breathtaking Foothills Parkway, surrounded by our closest friends and family, and it was more perfect than we ever imagined. The team took care of every detail so we could truly just show up and focus on each other and the moment. The view was stunning--mountains stretching as far as the eye could see--and it created the most romantic, peaceful backdrop for our vows. What touched us most was how personal and stress-free the entire experience felt. No chaos, no pressure--just love and nature and the people who matter most to us. The photos we received were absolutely beautiful and captured every emotion of the day. We'll treasure them forever. If you're looking for a meaningful, simple, and unforgettable way to say "I do," this is it. Thank you for helping us begin our forever in such a magical way!

Everything was fine and dandy until my fiancé fell ill and we requested to cancel our wedding…read morebecause of unexpected medical bills. Just know they are firm on the 35% retainer which ended up being over $700 for us- they will not refund any of it and said that they already paid the venue, etc. So I asked for a breakdown of where my money was spent and Alisha refused to provide that. She said my attorney can contact her for a copy. Regardless of the circumstances, they will not work with you. So don't book unless you are 100% sure or you are ok with losing a lot of money should something come up. We may end up keeping our date so as not to lose that money if we can scrape up the funds to still go.

I had no idea that Cordial and Craft had a Yelp page! I'm even more bummed that I didn't think to…read moreadd one. How can I be the ambassador for Yelp in Asheville when I'm not thinking outside of the box of things to review! Cordial and Craft is seriously righteous. Being that I live in Asheville, I attend a lot of weddings. I don't know if that's because something in the air here makes people want to get married, or perhaps it's just this sort of band wagon thing... like, HEY! Our friends are getting married, we should get married! I mean look, I got married! What's even crazier is that people come to Asheville to get married and throw awesome weddings that they can post all over instagram because they look so damn cool and everything is perfect and it's got that wonderful and charming handmade rustic class. So yeah, I think I'm up at about 5 to 6 weddings a year, which is great. But when I spot the bartenders of Cordial and Craft as I approach a wedding reception I'm ready to high five everyone within a 30 foot radius. When it comes to charm, class, and presentation nothing beats the bartenders from Cordial and Craft. I'm having a tough time even figuring out how to communicate just how great they are. You know those pictures you see on pinterest of drinks that make your mouth water, that have been custom designed for the event, with cute straws and beautiful colors? That's what we're talking about here. When you go to a wedding that has chosen Cordial and Craft to provide their bar program for the evening it's basically a sure fire sign that the event planner/bride and groom/venue has put great thought and care into each element of the event. Call them mixologists, call them craft cocktail masters, call them friends, just make sure to call me a cab because after a wedding reception with this wonderful company I'm not driving home.

Our daughter and new Son-in-Law also chose a few speciality drinks as well - which they served to everyone's enjoyment. At the end of the evening - they even created a special drink that they named in their honor. We did supply our own alcohol but as the day drew near I knew we wouldn't have time to get all the fruit, mixers, etc. I called Heidi the day before the wedding and she was willing to do that portion for us and collect the costs at the venue the next day. These ladies were so pleasant to work with - everyone commented on what great service. We would recommend them and would recommend you allow them to handle the shopping part as well - that is a service they can provide! Vicki and Gary

My husband and I are both a bit awkward in front of a camera, and I often am not crazy about how I look in photos, but Leah did an incredible job making us feel at ease, capturing beautiful memories and really documenting the joy of the day. She also recommended several other vendors and we hired many of them-- they were all great! Really our only complaint is that we've got so many great photos that narrowing down which to frame and put in a wedding album is a challenge! 100% would recommend Leah to other couples getting married in the Smokies or Knoxville area!
