Amanda Greene is the co-founder of Black Orchid Events NC, a planning and staffing company here in Asheville. After being in the wedding industry for years, she decided that she was ready go out on her own!

Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Staffing is so important when it comes to the guest experience, because it's the staff that interacts with the guests. Your flowers might look beautiful but they can't talk to the guests! (don't get me wrong, I love good florals).

2. A good planner will take care of any hiccups without you even realizing it.

3. When your guests are coming from all over the country - make sure that they dress for the weather and know how to drive in the mountains. Maybe get a shuttle!

She reminds folks to be flexible and open to possibilities regarding the realities of your wedding.
