Whenever us wedding vendors see that Colorful Palate is the caterer hired for the wedding we are working at we get pretty excited around here.  Yes we do get a vendor meal that is delicious, but we also know that the wedding guest are going to be filled with happy bellies! They can not only cook pretty much anything, and set up the food stations to look beautiful , but they are also the best to work with.  We love the team at Colorful Palate, and have loved that they have been apart of StudioWed Asheville for so long now!

Tip :: Your vendors are going to need to eat while working all night at your wedding.  Which means you will need to provide them with a vendor meal.  Make sure to ask a head of time if your vendors have any allergies and how many meals they will need (especially when it comes to the band).  Trust us, you want your vendors to be happy while working your wedding.  No hangry vendors please!

Events by Kiersa blog has always been one of our favorite blogs to follow.  Kiersa is one of the top wedding planners here in Asheville NC, and her blog always has everything from great ideas to real weddings that she and her team have planned themselves.  That being said here is a taste of some of the great articles that are currently on Events by Kiersa blog.

How to choose the best event team and how to go about doing it?  This blog post is everything for what StudioWed Asheville is about.  So many great tips!

“The first lesson, often learned the hard way, is you cannot do it all. You may have the knowledge, experience and desire, but you may not have the time. Decisions and execution of those decisions are always tied to deadlines when it comes to planning an event. Decor must be sourced with enough lead time to ship to your destination, yet floral installments cannot take place until hours before the event. Then, you begin thinking of your closest friends who happen to be the best at making crowd-pleasing fare. But wait! You want them to enjoy the pleasure of being a guest at your event, right? Right.” – Events By Kiersa

We say over and over again how lucky we are to have so many great vendors apart of StudioWed Asheville.  Each vendor is different and special in their own way which makes working together so easy! We are all so supportive of one another and always down to share tips and advice.  We even host a monthly Think Tank where we all get together to chat, share ideas, and to help one another out.

That being said today we are featuring Two Ring Studios on the blog.  Two Ring Studios has been a part of StudioWed for quiet sometime now and we couldn’t be more thankful.  Galen is amazing at what he does and always seems to capture the perfect moment that really sums up the entire day.

“I love catching those moments that happen in the blink of an eye that can be captured and shared for years to come. I have been honored to have photographed weddings here in Asheville and all over the United States. To be able to tell a love story though photos is a great honor and one I do not take lightly. ” – Galen Mcgee
