We believe in giving back to our community!  All of the Asheville wedding vendors of StudioWed are sponsoring a blood drive at our local Red Cross.  So if you are a bride, a groom, or one of our industry partners, please join us in giving back.  It’s super easy to make an appointment, and all donors for the month of February get entered into win a pair of Delta Airline tickets!

Happy New Year from all of us Asheville Wedding Pros from StudioWed Asheville!  2011 was a great year for us…

We moved into our new bigger space, and brides and grooms have loved it!  One bride told us it was like going to her girlfriends house to plan a wedding…so sweet!

We started our StudioWed Vendor Accreditation program.  A resource for all of our wedding professionals to take classes on a variety of topics.  Whether it be on social media and blogging, or our year end retreat, where we brought in top speakers in the wedding industry to speak.  Amazing.  The fab Sean Low from The Business of Being Creative and Rebecca Grinnals from Engaging Concepts spoke on business and the state of our wedding industry.

We helped many, many couples looking for their wedding team.  We had a record weekend of 19 appointments in 2 days.  Whew!  The energy in all the planning was so much fun!

We participated in a trunk show for local wedding gown boutique, Wedding Inspirations!  All brides received “bride” StudioWed hoodies and a bag to put all their wedding plans in.

We sponsored a family for Christmas for the Salvation Army.  We all got together for a holiday party…but instead of gifts, we all donated to help one family with 3 kids make their Christmas.

So what does all of this mean to you?

Your wedding team is here.  And when we say wedding team, it truly is a team of professionals.

We are here to help guide you through the process, and be a resource to you in this most amazing time.

We all invest in our own businesses to always, always strive to take it to the next level.  For you.  Because you deserve only the best on your wedding day.  Seriously.

We are a community, and we give back to the community.  My heart was warm on Christmas morning thinking of that family, and those kids…and knowing that they were all together, as a family.

From all of us, Happy 2012!  We hope to see you in the coming year!

Please join me at lunch to help Asheville wedding photographer, Realities Photography and her non-profit Sleep Tight Kids!  Have some amazing food from Luella’s BBQ, with proceeds going to Sleep Tight Kids.  I have personally helped Jill deliver items to these kids at shelters, and to see their eyes light up, is really just amazing.  To be able to receive items such as blankets, pajamas, and toothbrushes, that we sometimes take for granted just warms the heart.   So take a few minutes out of your day, and join us at Luella’s {right across from StudioWed Asheville} for some lunch!  See ya there!

When we found out Kathleen from Asheville Wedding Dance Company, I Do Dances was going to be teaching the famous last seen from Dirty Dancing…we just HAD to share!  Can you imagine what a great first dance {or even last dance} this would be at your wedding!!  I think my hubs and I are going to take the class, just because it is going to be fun!  I have taken from Kathleen before, and she is an amazing teacher.  See below for more details on the class from Kathleen:

My dance partner, Daniel, and I will be teaching the Dirty Dancing routine to “Time of My Life” from the oh-so-famous (local) movie! I’ve gotten many requests to teach this dance for a long while and now is the time to unleash it! And now is the time to unleash your Dirty Dancing desire! This is a super hot, sexy, playful, fun, easy to break down dance that is pretty irresistible.

If you need a refresher of why this could be…one of the most fun dances to learn, take a looksy.  Don’t worry if you don’t have dance experience!  Daniel and I will provide many different modifications that will make the dance accessible to all levels.

This will be an eight week course, starting Wednesday, November 2nd at 7:30 P.M., running through December 28th, skipping November 23rd for Thanksgiving.  Get your honey, or a friend you don’t mind dancing close to, and sign up! I need six couples to make this class happen and no more then 9 couples. The cost of the 8 week series is $144 per couple, that’s just $9/class/person.

We strive to provide an unintimidating atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable trying something new and have fun doing it! I would love for you to join me!
