We booked Smash Events to cater our wedding reception & also our wedding coordinator was booked through Smash. For the catering - we had a taco bar. Ashley and her team took AMAZING care of us. The food was phenomenal, the service impeccable. They are so kind, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Our coordinator was Dominique, and WOW. What a warm, calm presence. (You want someone cool & collected on your wedding day). You can tell Dominque has done this many times, she's a professional and a great person to have guiding you through this event. Thank you Smash!!

Incredible - Book Smash!I am so happy we booked Smash Events for our wedding dinner! From the very start, Ashley was so nice and easy to work with. I knew I wanted a Family Style meal as a way of connecting everyone at tables and "breaking bread" so to speak. Not only did Smash do this wonderfully, it looked and tasted absolutely amazing. The little details did not go unnoticed by my husband and I, or our guests. We got so many compliments on how good the food was, and it can be hard to please 100 people and make sure all dietary restrictions are handled appropriately. Ashley and her team did all of that seamlessly. They also helped us pick out our settings, which were an absolutely dream! We went with the mismatched vintage plates and clear goblets, and It added such a nice tough to our reception. I can't recommend them enough - they were truly amazing and handled everything from start to finish. Thank you so much, Ashley and the Smash Events Team. You are amazing!Jenna + Ryan Filio

My wife wanted her 60th birthday party to be special and The staff at Smash Events gave us lots of good ideas in regard to the food, deserts, live music. We were a little hesitant to plan a large party, but Smash was there every step of the way and the party flow was great. Smash also help provide floral arrangements and suggestions and the flowers were gorgeous. All our guests were impressed and had a great time.

We had the wedding of our dreams and Smash Events, Planning and Floral made it all happen with ease.Our planner Dominique was amazing. She is thoughtful, professional, kind, patient and knows her stuff. She had tons of great referrals as well. We got married on our farm which had no amenities so we started from the ground up and the results were just as we envisioned....magicalWe did a tasting with Ashley in March which she was able to accommodate our busy schedule. The food was so amazing in taste and presentation. We chose stations instead of buffet and were every happy with the choices and variety. There was something for everyone. We even had them cater our rehearsal dinner. They thought of everything and I would not have changed a thing. All the guest were thrilled with the food. The mac & cheese station was a big hitI was really nervous about the décor because we were starting with a basic tent but it turned out to be amazing. The floral team really bought to life exactly what we were hoping for and more! Many of my guests were so amazed by the transformation, as were we! (See photos) Oh and our bouquets were just beautifulI cant say enough good things about the entire organization. Professional, talented, organized, friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend

I can't write enough great things about my experience with Dominique as our wedding planner from Smash. From our very first call, her confidence made me feel comfortable. I'm a very organized and detail oriented person and basically wanted a me at the event to make sure everything was flowing smoothly. This lady is a super woman! She did exactly that. Don't be fooled by her petite size. She may have a gentle voice but is very clear in what needs to be done. She was amazing at getting everyone together and moving everything along timely - even with the not so punctual people. ;) She helped me in times of crisis, reviewed my contracts, even reminded me to think of things i had forgotten about and so much more. I planned the wedding myself so it was important to me that everything went as I hoped. And thanks to her, it did! I actually was able to enjoy my wedding stress free because I knew that "Dominique has got this!". She had backup for backups, never made me feel judged on any of my choices or costs, and provided her honest opinion without being condescending or rude. I loved that because sometimes I just needed another set of eyes on things. I can't recommend her enough. When I gave her a hug good bye at the end, I felt like I was hugging my sister. I am excited to be see her again next time I'm in Asheville!

I have worked with so many wedding planners over the years and I definitely know which ones I would recommend without hesitation. The entire Smash Events team work so hard to make their events a success and do it in a calm and friendly way. SO important when it comes to weddings.

Smash Events served as our catering & florist service for our wedding this past weekend. Ashley was so incredibly helpful throughout the planning stage. Our vision was executed beautifully. Our guests were so impressed with the florals throughout our venue. To top it all off, the food & service provided made for a spectacular night for all!

We could not have been happier to use Smash Events as our caterer for our August wedding at The Barn at Honeysuckle Hill. From the start, Smash drew us in with their fun and creative menu options, and the rest of the process was as smooth as can be. Ashley was so communicative and made the planning process very easy from afar (we don't live in Asheville). And most importantly, the food was delicious and her staff executed the night flawlessly! We also used their bartending services and their bartenders were great and kept the drinks flowing. Would recommend Smash to anyone looking for a great wedding caterer.
TL;DR: SMASH IS AMAZING! We planned a three-day summer camp wedding and were looking for a caterer who could provide two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners -- all vegetarian. We spoke to a few vendors before settling on Smash. And boy did we make the right decision. From the get-go, Ashley and her team were enthusiastic about our vision. They were game for cooking all of our favorite foods; our meals included tacos, Carolina BBQ, paninis, biscuits and gravy, and an Asian noodle station. Not only was the food delicious, but the service (hi, Liz!) was incredible. They were unbelievably organized, managing to pull off six meals without a hitch, and every single Smash staff member was friendly and helpful. I also really appreciated Smash's commitment to environmentally and socially responsible practices, including paying a living wage and composting food scraps (at our request). I can't tell you how many guests raved about the food (even though most of them were not vegetarian) and the service. We are so grateful to them for making our wedding such a memorable and delicious event -- and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer!

Smash Events was AMAZING to work with!! Not only was the food wonderful but they set everything up to look beautiful as well. They were very responsive and helped make sure the food was what we wanted. Everyone LOVED the BBQ and the hor d'oeuvres. I highly recommend! Usually I am not a fan of wedding food but I ate so much! It was so good and Smash Events did a phenomenal job! EVERYTHING was great! Use Smash Events!!

After doing business with the owners, I can say that they are very good people with a high level of integrity and compassion. I highly recommend Smash Events!

I worked with Dominique for Alex and Julia’s wedding at Highland Brewing, and I cannot speak highly enough of her!As a wedding photographer, I have worked with plenty of planners and coordinators, but none compare to Dominique. She was communicative throughout the process, coordinated the day flawlessly, and was incredibly helpful to me as a vendor.I truly hope I get to work with Smash Events again, because it was an amazing experience!

Like with so many others, the pandemic created a lot of uncertainty around our wedding. We ultimately decided to postpone our wedding and hold an intimate family ceremony on our original date instead. But we still wanted to celebrate with all our friends and family once it was feasible. Unfortunately, our original caterer went out of business during the pandemic and we were scrambling to find another one with only 6 months to go. I contacted Ashley on the off chance they might have availability and luckily, she was already doing a wedding at our venue that same day so she was able to make it work. She didn’t hesitate to do all that they could to help us and make sure we could stick as close to our original budget as possible. And the food is TOP-NOTCH. Everyone was raving about it. We were also serving wood-fired pizza from another caterer and Ashley was really accommodating about working alongside them. She has an amazing attention to detail and fantastic customer care. So grateful that Ashley and her team were able to be part of our special day.
