ShutterBooth has released something BIG for the new year! It is called the ShutterPod.  It is a trendy looking kiosk that will show up at your event and allow your guest to have a blast with one click of a button.  The kiosk also prints the pictures onsite so you can take them home right away.  It is like having your own DIY photo booth at your event.  I know our Asheville brides love ShutterBooth and this is just another fun option for you to make an impact on your guest.

Fun tip! Having a photo booth where your guest can take their pics home with them, works as a great favor/keepsake for your guest to have.

Asheville is filled with so many amazing artist and musicians, and Braidstream is one of the best.  Their schedule is constantly busy and you can see this by just looking at their Facebook page!  They are truly one of the best ceremony musicians in town! Below are just few things about what they have been up to.

In December they had a holiday concert at the Blue Ridge community center!

When I say they are busy, I mean they are very very busy! Constantly booked up…

“A beautiful sunset gig the Biltmore, autumn in the air…how sweet!!”

When picking your weddings vendors, I find that a great way to pick a vendor that suits your style, is by checking out their social media accounts.  It is not only fun to see what weddings that they have recently done, but they are professionals at what they do.  They are always down to share some great tips with you.

That being said, 2015 is finally here and it is always nice to reflect and check in with each of our amazing wedding professionals in Asheville NC and see what news they are sharing through social media!

“Stephanie said…

We got married in western NC on the most beautiful late October weekend. I’ll never forget our first meeting with Colorful Palate, and how fun it was to go taste testing! My husband and I were completely blown away by the food and how it was simple, yet creative, and each item had a personal twist. We ended up hiring Colorful Palate to cater our Rehearsal Dinner, breakfast and lunch on Saturday morning, our Wedding Dinner on Saturday night, and then Sunday morning for our guests. They were able to help us create the most unforgettable and DELICIOUS menu! Our guests are still raving over the food! It was delicious. Everything was fresh and perfect. Not to mention the tasty food, but the entire staff is absolutely a joy to work with. They are professional, kind, creative, talented, and extremely helpful with any request you may have. We are so lucky that we had the chance to work with them! Wish we had more words to describe how amazing this caterer is!”

“A HUGE thank you to you and your staff for making our event such a success! The Farm was a highlight and a favorite for our guests. The food was off the chart!!!! Every detail was appreciated and noticed. Your staff went above and beyond.”
