As Asheville wedding vendors, we see each other often on wedding days. It’s wonderful to have a work environment filled with people that you love, but when most of your interactions are quick life updates while sharing a vendor meal or a 3 minute chat while walking in from your car, it leaves you wanting a little more. Our solution to this is Friendsgiving. We make time to sit down and have a lovely (non vendor) meal together. Finally, we can talk to our hearts’ content without worrying if we’re needed elsewhere! We had a blast this year at Off the Wagon Dueling Piano Bar<\/a>. It was the perfect way to reconnect!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I love the way that the StudioWed Asheville family always makes giving back to our\u00a0community a priority. Work (and life!) will never cease to be demanding, but it’s more than worth is to take a break from the grind, and focus on bettering someone else life for a bit. The resulting warm and fuzzies will motivate you for weeks! We spent a day preparing and serving food to men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. It was wonderful to spend some time with our veterans and to try, in some small way, to thank them for their service.<\/p>\n

Not sure if you heard…but there were crazy wildfires<\/a> in the Asheville area this past fall. The gorgeous landscapes that we take for granted on a daily basis were burning away, and firefighters had to be\u00a0flown in from all over the country to help stop them.We asked…and the community delivered! From fellow wedding industry professionals, to past clients…even complete strangers! You brought hundreds of bottles of water, \u00a0thousands of wet wipes, and a plethora of other much needed items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I love how Nicole encapsulated it:<\/p>\n

“Heart = Full.”<\/p>\n

This year, Nicole and Ian<\/a>\u00a0were asked to speak at Reverie Retreats<\/a>\u00a0in Arizona. Nicole summed it up by saying, ” Nothing warms our heart more than to see our StudioWed Culture at work, here in Asheville and in our other locations. So when Ian and I were asked to speak about culture, we knew this is something that we wanted to help other small business owners with!”<\/p>\n

I think it’s amazing that Nicole and Ian had the opportunity to share this\u00a0topic that is so dear to their hearts and so integral to the success of their businesses. Plus, I heard that there were mimosas!! The StudioWed Asheville family is very proud!<\/p>\n

2016 was pretty amazing, but I have a feeling that 2017 might be even better! Can’t wait to see where this year takes us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
