I am so happy we booked SmashEvents for our catering! The planning process was so smooth due to Ashley. Even in a snow storm her team made it possible so that we could taste our wedding food and accommodated us when we lived out of town! Our guests raved about the appetizers and dinner which made us feel so happy! Our wedding party also complimented the way they were taken care of after we took photos and they kept some appetizers to the side for them!

Best food and best service hands down. Ashley was so helpful through this entire process and super communicative. And as I already mentioned . THE FOOD WAS EVERYTHING. The presentation was stunning. The options were top tier . It was hard to pick and choose . Forever grateful for making our wedding day that much more memorable. Highly recommend. You don’t need to look for another caterer.

We used Smash for both catering and floral for our daughter's wedding just last weekend. Everything was superb. The food was fantastic and we received so many compliments on it. The flowers and decorations were absolutely stunning. Ashley and the team took my daughters vision and brought it to life. We couldn't be happier. Linda O.

AMAZING FOOD!!!! Our wedding guest raved about their meal. Ashley and her team are incredible!!! They have amazing prices, the most delicious food, and incredible customer service. There is a reason they have 5 stars.

Smash was absolutely incredible to work with. We are so thankful that we were able to find Smash to help us with most of the most critical parts of our wedding.
We started our journey with Dominique as our planner. She immediately jumped in and started to collaborate with us on a plan to get everything we needed in order for the wedding. Throughout our planning journey she was a constant calming voice and resource we could lean on for questions/concerns big and small.
Following Helene, she jumped into action in helping us move our wedding to Charlotte in 3 weeks. With her help, it turned out like it had been planned in Charlotte all along. We are incredibly thankful for all of her help and guidance.
Not only did we get to work with Dominique, but the rest of the Smash team for our catering and florals as well.
Ashley, from the floral team, worked with us to custom design and install a disco ball themed installation. It was a huge hit and just showcased the skills she has in taking a concept to reality.
For our food, everyone was blown away. We still have people coming up and talking about how much they enjoyed our meal to this day (over a month later!)
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to the efforts and flexibility of the Smash team.

You fed our family along with thousands of others within the community post hurricane Helene. With the grocery stores closed for the 730pm curfew, your warm dinner truly made our night. It was so delicious, too. I still think about the rice!
Thank you for being there for Asheville.

We used Smash Events for our month of coordinator for our wedding at Highland Brewing. We made a lot of decisions regarding our wedding but this one was ESSENTIAL to making our day run smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about Dominique. She felt like so much more than a month of coordinator- giving us tips and recommendations throughout our wedding planning process. She was so responsive and kind. As a type A bride I had zero doubts handing things over to her for the day. All of those little details you can't think of or remember for your day? She has all the answers, tips and tricks! Not to mention everyone in the area knows and loves her. On the day of our wedding we just showed up and enjoyed our day in peace knowing she had everything covered. She executed the timeline perfectly and not a single thing went wrong and I owe this to her! Amazing to work with in every way- if you're unsure if you need a month of planner or more... this is your sign to do it, trust me it's worth every penny!

Smash Events was simply incredible to work with. Dominique was our wedding planner. From our first meeting at a coffee shop, we knew she was the perfect fit—calm, cool, energetic, and knowledgeable about the Asheville area with strong connections to local vendors. She kept us on track while allowing us the space to make decisions. We had a seamless experience working with Smash Events for florals and catering as well!
The day of the wedding, Dominique and the Smash Team were essential! Despite a huge rainstorm just two hours before the ceremony, she ensured everything was set up perfectly on the rooftop once the storm passed. The entire day—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—flowed beautifully, and she even helped us pull off an epic bubble exit! Thanks to her expertise, we never felt stressed during the process. Dominique's confidence, experience, and great vibes made our wedding truly epic.
As mentioned, we also worked with Ashley from Smash for catering and florals. I cannot tell you how perfectly Ashley met my vision for florals. When I saw the floral arrangements & my bouquet, I truly gasped! They were stunning and were the perfect balance of tropical, lush, and minimalist - yet had a fullness that created a balanced and fun look! Plants and greens were artfully woven with vibrant flowers. I couldn’t have loved them more!
Ashely also was in charge of catering and dinnerware! She had a collection of lovely vintage floral plates that were perfection as well as vintage glassware. Our family style meal was timed nicely and our guests commented on how great the food was! Ashley also packed us up a to go meal - this was such a thoughtful gesture since we were honestly having too much fun with guests to fully appreciate the food!
We cannot recommend Ashley, Dominique, and the rest of the Smash team more! They truly rock and are a dream to work with.

My wife and I used Smash for several of their services including catering, floral, and wedding planning. In each category they exceeded our expectations! We had a BBQ buffet for our catering and so many of our guests commented that it was "the best food I've ever had at a wedding!" They did an excellent job with all of our floral arrangements; everything was just as we imagined it. And our planner Dominique, helped to make our day stress free, fun, and extra special for us! She was so warm and attentive to our needs and really made sure we enjoyed every aspect of our experience. We highly recommend Smash for any and all of your wedding vendor needs!

Smash Events absolutely *smashed* our wedding!! We worked with Ashley for both our catering and florals and they turned out truly incredible -- we've received non-stop compliments. Throughout the planning process I was so impressed and grateful for Ashley's organized approach, as well as her flexibility (and patience) in accommodating a few unique requests, answering all the questions I peppered her with, and working within my budget.
The food: So good, so unique, so much! We opted to include some Latin inspired dishes and everyone loved them. The ropa vieja may have been just as good as my abuela's and the Nica plate with the queso frito was a crowd favorite. Plus the apps and late night snack bar were a hit. No one went hungry and a guest even told me it was the best wedding food they'd had.
The cake: We went with a smaller carrot cake for us + a sheet cake for the guests. Both were delicious, but tbh we still dream of the funfetti sheet cake with dulce de leche filling and the recommended swiss merengue. We ate the left overs for a week and nearly cried when we finished it, it was that good. I've had other bakers try to recreate it since but they haven't been on par with Smash.
The bar: We provided the liquor and Smash provided the bartender. They made our 3 signature cocktails to perfection!
The flowers / greenery / table decor / dance floor disco installation: This was where the Smash team really shined and knocked it out of the park. Absolutely exceeded expectations! They made our vision come to life and then some. Everything looked better than we imagined and we can't thank them enough!
If you're considering booking Smash, just do it. You'll be so happy you did!
Smash catering was above already high expectations! The food was amazing, staff professional and friendly, and their presentation was beautiful. Our guests were so impressed. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic! They did our catering, florals and day-of planning. Smash delivered above and beyond service, beautiful florals and delicious food. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience with them because it was PERFECT! So happy with them!!!
Audrey Chang
Smash is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I ended up using them for EVERYTHING - catering, desserts, florals, and planning. Each one was absolutely amazing. For catering, we went with a buffet style and everything was soooo delicious. We got so many compliments on our food, from our appetizers to the actual dinner. We specifically got MANY compliments on the steak which was incredible. We also did our desserts through them and they were AMAZING. We did multiple desserts as well as a cake, and again received so many compliments on all of them, especially the sesame cookie which had such a unique flavor profile. Ashley, who owns and runs everything, is extremely responsive and helpful. I felt like multiple times they went out of their way to accommodate me but never made it seem like a big deal. My husband wanted a very specific type of hot dog for the late night snack, and they were able to do those. They helped to come up with mocktail ideas and the signature drinks they made were amazing. It was also very easy to book my plates, silverware, etc through them as well. My florals were gorgeous - I was not somebody who came in with anything very specific for florals, and what they created with very little guidance from me was beautiful. Finally, Dominique (planning) is amazing. She is the perfect mix of relaxed but directive. I never once felt rushed or lost or stressed, which I think is a true testament to her character, style, and actual planning. I was initially hesitant to book everything through them because it seemed too good to be true. But I have absolutely 0 regrets and I would do it 1000 times over. Thank you Smash to helping to put together the best night of my life.

I want to send a huge thank you to the Smash Events family. You made our wedding day truly memorable. Ashley was so helpful and accommodating through our catering process. Her menu pairings are spectacular and the food is delicious. She is so patient when I asked a million questions and always offered great recommendations to help fit the wedding vibe. She is a great owner and her business is extremely special. Our guests raved about the food all night!
Dominique their incredible planner cannot be raved about enough. For an entire year she would check in and help me design and plan throughout the months. She is SO prepared and would think of things that weren’t even on my radar. She is the SWEETEST soul and made the entire planning process so relaxing.
Smash is a special team and will make your wedding such a memorable experience, thank you ladies you will be missed!
Michael Zinerco
Excellent! Working with Ashley and SMASH was such a nice experience. We used them for a multi day wedding and they handled 3 catered meals and our flowers. She was so helpful and knowledgeable leading up to the big day. The team on site was very professional and friendly. The food was incredible. I would recommend them for any catered event you may need!
