How can I be the ambassador for Yelp in Asheville when I'm not thinking outside of the box of things to review! Cordial and Craft is seriously righteous. Being that I live in Asheville, I attend a lot of weddings. I don't know if that's because something in the air here makes people want to get married, or perhaps it's just this sort of band wagon thing... like, HEY! Our friends are getting married, we should get married! I mean look, I got married! What's even crazier is that people come to Asheville to get married and throw awesome weddings that they can post all over instagram because they look so damn cool and everything is perfect and it's got that wonderful and charming handmade rustic class. So yeah, I think I'm up at about 5 to 6 weddings a year, which is great. But when I spot the bartenders of Cordial and Craft as I approach a wedding reception I'm ready to high five everyone within a 30 foot radius. When it comes to charm, class, and presentation nothing beats the bartenders from Cordial and Craft. I'm having a tough time even figuring out how to communicate just how great they are. You know those pictures you see on pinterest of drinks that make your mouth water, that have been custom designed for the event, with cute straws and beautiful colors? That's what we're talking about here. When you go to a wedding that has chosen Cordial and Craft to provide their bar program for the evening it's basically a sure fire sign that the event planner/bride and groom/venue has put great thought and care into each element of the event. Call them mixologists, call them craft cocktail masters, call them friends, just make sure to call me a cab because after a wedding reception with this wonderful company I'm not driving home.

Our daughter and new Son-in-Law also chose a few speciality drinks as well - which they served to everyone's enjoyment. At the end of the evening - they even created a special drink that they named in their honor. We did supply our own alcohol but as the day drew near I knew we wouldn't have time to get all the fruit, mixers, etc. I called Heidi the day before the wedding and she was willing to do that portion for us and collect the costs at the venue the next day. These ladies were so pleasant to work with - everyone commented on what great service. We would recommend them and would recommend you allow them to handle the shopping part as well - that is a service they can provide! Vicki and Gary

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with this elopement company. From start…read moreto finish, everything was effortless and beautifully orchestrated. We chose to elope in Tennessee on the breathtaking Foothills Parkway, surrounded by our closest friends and family, and it was more perfect than we ever imagined. The team took care of every detail so we could truly just show up and focus on each other and the moment. The view was stunning--mountains stretching as far as the eye could see--and it created the most romantic, peaceful backdrop for our vows. What touched us most was how personal and stress-free the entire experience felt. No chaos, no pressure--just love and nature and the people who matter most to us. The photos we received were absolutely beautiful and captured every emotion of the day. We'll treasure them forever. If you're looking for a meaningful, simple, and unforgettable way to say "I do," this is it. Thank you for helping us begin our forever in such a magical way!

Everything was fine and dandy until my fiancé fell ill and we requested to cancel our wedding…read morebecause of unexpected medical bills. Just know they are firm on the 35% retainer which ended up being over $700 for us- they will not refund any of it and said that they already paid the venue, etc. So I asked for a breakdown of where my money was spent and Alisha refused to provide that. She said my attorney can contact her for a copy. Regardless of the circumstances, they will not work with you. So don't book unless you are 100% sure or you are ok with losing a lot of money should something come up. We may end up keeping our date so as not to lose that money if we can scrape up the funds to still go.

Do not use them. And definitely do not use their Pastor. I was not going to post a negative review…read morefor them but their pastor pushed me over the edge. This company is basically a middleman that wants you to pay them and they have their own vendors that you are unable to check out ahead of time. So to make a long story as short as I can, we had already chosen our own pastor ahead of of time, and so did not use their pastor. And my main complaint is that THEIR pastor, who was not involved in our wedding in any way, posted a VERY NASTY comment and LIE, that we didn't like nor pay for our photos. The real story is that they do not clarify the 20-photo package and that THEY choose the 20 photos to send to you. When we wrote a very professional email to Kim explaining that we were very disappointed that we did not receive the photos we hoped to see, and are willing to pay the difference btw the $500 we paid and the extra $200 for the flash drive to get all photos, Kim said she wanted us to be happy and so will send us the flash drive. We first thought this was a nice gesture to resolve the issue. However, after I posted a photo on facebook, their pastor, whom was not our officiant, not involved in our wedding in ANY way, posted the very nasty public comment that he was told we did not like our photos and got them for free. We feel whatever we agreed with Kim was not his business and he had it all wrong. And this is supposed to be a man of God? No thank you. We are so happy we chose our own very professional, wonderful pastor. Kim tries to accommodate brides during the process, however she has a hard time returning emails or phone calls while we are trying to make decisions. Many emails have to go back and forth rather than a more organized way to handle plans. We hired our own caterer, pastor and videographer. While it's a huge help for them to bring tables and chairs, we do not feel $250/ hr is necessary for day of wedding help. The day of the wedding, we paid $250/ hr for them to come decorate/ set up but my friend did most of the work already. The wedding coordinator forgot to hand me my flowers, therefore I walked down without them so no help there. Mostly, this is about the fact that it is just easier and best to pick your own vendors. They did have a great dj that we were happy with. But thank goodness we picked our own Pastor. Find a beautiful cabin, hire someone to drop off tables and chairs and hire your own pastor, photographer, caterer and videographer. That way there is no middle man charging you extra fees and you know who your vendors are. And Pastor Buddy, how can you call yourself a pastor. My wedding was none of your business. Shame on you.

My lady and I live in the heart of England, many thousands of miles from Smokey Mountain Weddings…read more We chose Pastor Buddy's team to help us cement our union based upon his web-site, a couple of phone calls and some emails. We could not have asked for a more professional, friendly and smooth ceremony. Our big day in front of Cataract Falls was superb. Managed superbly by Pastor Buddy's joyous team. Our travel plans meant we had to leave Pigeon Forge the next day and head for part two of our "grand tour" (Nashville) but a visit to Smokey Mountain Wedding HQ on route was a a pleasure because the photographer had pulled out more stops to get our photographs ready. Ang they were excellent. Have I forgotten anything? Nope. I don't think so. A brilliant day, leading to marriage to a brilliant lady. Did I mention the date? August 19th 2004. Every moment of the day is like it was yesterday. We could not have improved it in any way. And we still have the flowers preserved, and the photos on display. Of course the Marriage Certificate from the County of Sevier takes pride of place in our entrance hall. If you want a wedding ceremony that will live in your heart forever, head to Smokey Mountain Weddings. Graham Wood, England.
