April 2017 Archive

Spring is in full force here in Asheville, and this weekend looks to be a preview of things to come this summer with temperatures in the 80’s (already! It’s not even May yet!)…so of course, we’re already dreaming of fall. We were looking back through Asheville wedding photographer Sunday Grant’s Instagram page, and these gorgeous images from last fall made us long for those crisp evenings and gorgeous colors!  

 

Such a beautiful wedding at Lake Eden Events! Anna and Mark are perfect #thestysthelimit ………………………..#ashevillewedding #ashevilleweddingphotographer #fallwedding

Fall is our love language, too!

While planning your Asheville wedding, regardless of whether you’re a local, or whether you’re planning a destination event,  there’s a big chance that you are going to need a hotel. There are SO many Asheville hotels for you to choose from…we thought we’d help your search by sharing one of our favorites with you. Aloft Asheville Downtown is not just a lovely venue for both ceremonies and receptions, it is also an awesome space for your guests. It’s located in the heart of downtown, walking distance from some wonderful local eats (and drinks!), and the atmosphere is perfect for those who love the urban side of Asheville.

And don’t worry… your guests will still have a stunning view of our mountains!

And just for fun… here are three recent posts from their Instagram page that made us love them even more!

#1. Tech-savvy hotel rooms!

Technology and design are two of our passions at Aloft Hotels. Our hotel rooms are tech-savvy, and we are a co-working space for you.

#2. Local art supporters PLUS pet friendly!

We love decorating with Asheville’s local art (especially when it involves pets), such as this @angelaalexanderart piece. Also, we are a pet-friendly hotel. We have a no pet fee policy, and our Arf program includes a dog bed, water bowl, toy, and treat!

#3 Live music every weekend!

Live music? Check! Live at Aloft Hotels happens every night on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We’ll see you at all three this week! We love the local music scene in Asheville, and it’s one of our five favorite things about this beautiful place.

What’s not to love?!?

Just a quick throwback to that time when we were planning our very first ever StudioWed event (this was in 2010, y’all!), and the lovely people at Colorful Palate created a signature cocktail named after the fabulous folks at Verge Events. We are in the midst of planning our upcoming industry party in August, so we thought this would be a fun share!

1.5 ounce vodka
.5 blue curacao
splash simple syrup
splash of Sprite
shake with ice and strain.

Hope you enjoy The Verge! And we’ll keep you posted on this year’s StudioWed party plans!
