When we started our wedding planning company, Verge Events, in Asheville, NC in 2005, we never could have imagined as to how far and how much it would grow, and how it would eventually shape our lives. We watched Verge grow organically, from word of mouth and referrals, eventually leading to us building a strong team of planners and planning 40-50 weddings a year. During this time, after planning hundreds of weddings, we realized our love for the wedding community and those amazing individuals, mostly who are also entrepreneurs, who loved creating their art for couples every weekend. But there was something missing …a gap that needed to be filled.
As small business owners, we worked out of an office suite {read: cubicle} that was completely uninspiring for couples, and not conducive to meetings. Not to mention that the rent was high, upwards of $10k a year; add marketing dollars to that, and you have a high expense for a small business. Knowing that there had to be an answer to this, we started along the path of a boutique bridal studio. A fun, inspiring place where wedding professionals could meet their clients, and couples could find their “wedding team” as we like to call it. And thus, StudioWed was born.
Never in a million years did we dream what StudioWed would turn into. We opened our flagship studio in April of 2008 in Asheville, NC, and over the next few years opened StudioWed’s in Atlanta, Georgia, Denver, Colorado, and Nashville, Tennessee. And there begins the family.
In every studio we visit, we always hear the term, “The StudioWed Family.” And that, at the heart of it, is what we are. We are a community of wedding professionals that always strives to better our businesses, grow together, and always perfect our art. Because all of our creative partners go through an application process to join the studio, we know they are vetted and at the top of their game. They are true artists, and believe in providing the absolute best with every single wedding, every single weekend.
For the couple looking for wedding professionals for their wedding, StudioWed is a resource that can be utilized in so many ways. It is a place to get inspired, get advice, and most importantly, find their team of wedding pros and have confidence in the fact that they are going to be taken care of in the best way. We believe in carrying over the family feel to each couple that comes into our doors. Come hang with us on the couch, and get to know us, just as we like to get to know you.
Welcome to the StudioWed Family! We appreciate you stopping by!
