Asheville NC is booming when it comes to tourism, weddings, and things to do.  Which is why it is fitting that we are witnessing so many great hotels pop up in Asheville NC.  One of our favorites has been the Aloft Hotel located in downtown Asheville.  So many of our StudioWed couples pick the Aloft for room blocks when it comes to places to stay for their guest.  If you would like to get a feel for what the Aloft hotel has been up to here is a little bit from their  social media accounts.

In need of a smile? The Aloft hotel recently had a special greeter at their door who was in need of some love.

“Say hello to Maxx! He just checked in this afternoon and, within the first HOUR, he had an application placed for him! He’s a 4 year old shihtzu and has a super sad back story. He’s a real sweetheart and is enjoying all the attention and hugs he’s been receiving today. Come by and say hello to him on this rainy night!” – Aloft Hotel

If you haven’t been to Wicked Weed you need to.  They are neighbors to the Aloft hotel and truly one of the best breweries in Asheville NC.  It is a favorite of some many of our StudioWed couples and now your wedding guest can also enjoy their brews in the lounge!  You can taste three different brews while sitting at the W-xyz lounge.

Lastly, their social media accounts are a great way to see what people are saying about them.  All good things of course and your guest will be happy that you recommend this place for them to stay at.

Flora is one of Asheville finest florist.  Not only are they professional but their timeless classic style is always a favorite of our brides.  Flora is also very active on social media.  Their Facebook page is very up to date with what they have been up to, deals, and gorgeous floral arrangements.  Like I always say checking you vendors social media pages is a great way to check out your vendors, see what they do, and help pick the perfect wedding team for you. So… Let’s see what they have been up to!

Okay, so when I first saw this I got super excited! ShutterBooth sent a series of three emails introducing a new concept.  Not only is it innovative, it is social media friendly (your # will get plenty of attention), and it is fun!

So here goes… I am going to tell you all about it and why ShutterBooth is such an innovator in the wedding industry!

The first email that was sent to us is this one…   You can now have a ShutterBooth kiosk at your Asheville NC wedding!  It looks really cool and is small and easy to use!

The second email that arrived in my inbox the next day was… how easy it is to “get social”.  You can share you pictures on your social media account right from the kiosk.  I know how much I love it when I can’t attend a wedding and I religiously follow that # for that day.  This just makes it that much easier!

…and the last big email that arrived in our inbox was the capture feature.  You can now treat your ShutterBooth experience like Instagram.  From filter settings, to goofy props, your guest are going to have a BLAST with this.  I personally can not wait to see this at future weddings.

So there you have it! 2015 means a new year with new concepts and ShutterBooth has totally scored on this one!

Since we have been checking in on Facebook with our vendors at StudioWed Asheville, today’s news roundup is on Mr.C’s Mobile DJ.  Mr.C’s is one of the best DJs in Asheville NC and our StudioWed Asheville couples love him… So lets see what he has been up to!

To start, I think it is important to mention, that Mr.C’s got a new logo! Love the new branding!

Their Facebook page is also constantly updating you on karaoke contests in the local area… who doesn’t love karaoke!?

“It’s that time again! Janitizio’s Thursday night for the first round of the Karaoke contest. We have prizes donated by Hendersonville Pawn. Each weekly winner will get a prize and a chance to sing in the finals in 4 weeks. Grand Prize gets $100. Only way to win is to come out and sing.”
