We are so proud of our Asheville wedding vendors! The 2016 Year in Review that the lovely Nicole shared with us focused on some of the amazing moments from 2016 that were not necessarily wedding related, but rather community related. But do not let that fool you into thinking that Studiowed Asheville wedding vendors were not involved in creating, producing, and capturing some seriously fantastic weddings during 2016.

We know that our Asheville wedding vendors are amazing, but it is always wonderful to have someone on the outside confirm that for us. Borrowed & Blue just recently came out with their Best of B&B 2017 awards.  Here is the blurb from their website explaining exactly what these awards are:

THE BEST OF B&B 2017 AWARDS ARE LIKE THE MICHELIN GUIDE FOR WEDDINGS, AND WE’VE GOT YOUR STARS RIGHT HERE. PUT ON YOUR SHADES―THESE WINNERS ARE PLENTY BRILLIANT.

A Best of B&B award is the equivalent of a Michelin star in the wedding world: it identifies only the most talented, well-respected vendors in all of Asheville. How do we know? The winners have been chosen by Asheville vendors themselves. It’s a royal feast of planning insight: know-how taken from those in the know.

So basically, these Asheville wedding vendors are kind of a big deal!

Here are the Studiowed Asheville wedding vendors who made B&B best of 2017 awards (there were three chosen for each category, just to explain any overlap you might see):

I believe a round of applause is warranted here…go ahead, you know you want to :)

Over the years we’ve spent in the wedding industry, we might have had the opportunity to see the occasional Asheville wedding band in action;)  Some were good, some were….not so good. Then we met the super talented people from East Coast Entertainment, and we fell in love. Because this wasn’t just an Asheville wedding band…this was actual entertainment!

We recently received and email letting us know that East Coast Entertainment has gone through a full image update, with a new name, logo, and website! The new look is so clean and modern, and the shortened name, ECE, is easy and memorable.

Doug Daniel, President and CEO sent out at email with this update, and we wanted to share with you his words about the new look:

As we’ve grown and grown up, at EastCoast Entertainment, we’ve always stayed true to what got us here…incredible talent, attention to detail, great customer service and a dedication to making every gig go smoothly.

The result has been countless performances and events that remain some of our clients’ most cherished memories. Providing these kinds of experiences have always been, and always will be, at the core of what we do. And we couldn’t do it without having great artists and great clients.

As we embark on our next 40 years, we are thrilled to reveal our new brand identity–including a new name, logo and redesigned website.

A more creative and modern logo better represents who we currently are and what we do, and the evolution of our name ensures people understand we can service almost any need anywhere across the country and even internationally, not just on the Eastern seaboard.  Effective immediately, EastCoast Entertainment will be calling ourselves “ECE.”

ECE is how we will refer to ourselves, although our legal name is still EastCoast Entertainment.

Over time we will drop “EastCoast Entertainment” as a tagline and replace it with one that is more descriptive of what we do, rather than who we are.

At ECE (see how easily that rolls off the tongue?) we couldn’t be more excited about these updates and hope you are inspired to book your next event with us. It will be the same legendary service and amazing, indelible experiences, just with a new name and logo.

We LOVE seeing brands evolve and transform, and we are super excited to see where ECE goes with this look in the future!

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

We always say over and over again how lucky we are to have so many great wedding venues, that are all very different, apart of StudioWed Asheville.  I am sure you have seen previous blog post in the past about how each one is special in its own way.  From ballrooms, to lakes, to a modern feel, we have really got all the varieties apart of StudioWed Asheville.  That being said with busy season (October) coming to an end (it actually never spots being busy around here), we felt like it was time to do a quick recap and venue spotlight of our StudioWed Asheville wedding venues.

1. This picture was shot by Sunday Grant Photography Fall 2016 at Lake Lure Events.  At Lake Lure you have the lake, barn, and beautiful mountain views to enjoy.
2. This wedding shot was taken by Two Ring Studios at Homewood! Homewood look like a castle.  With both indoor and outdoor spaces and just walking distance from downtown Asheville it is truly a great spot to get married at.
3. The Mozingo Photography team took this stunning picture at The Grove Park Inn.  The Grove Park Inn is not only a famous hotel but has some of the most gorgeous views in all of Asheville.
4. This shot was taken by Aaron Imaging at the Grand Bohemian.  The Grand Bohemian also has both indoor and outdoor options, with one of the most gorgeous ballrooms in Asheville North Carolina! 
5. Last but not least… The shot was taken at The Venue by the Mozingo Photography team.  The Venue is a great modern spot to get married at located in downtown Asheville.
