Shay & Company is a team of event planners and community connectors who create meaningful experiences by producing festivals, weddings, non-profit fundraisers, and various other events. They manage a portfolio of boutique venues in and around Asheville, NC, and work with the best vendors and talent in the Southeast. A caterer and private event chef who has worked with Shay & Company for over 15 years shares their admiration for the team's exceptional production and the strong relationships they build with clients and vendors. They believe Shay & Company has constructed a well-oiled machine that takes excellent care of everyone involved. As a client, Shay & Company played a huge role in a non-traditional wedding, managing the venue and serving as the wedding planner and coordinator. The client's planner, Alex, was described as fabulous, providing guidance on working with vendors and sharing ideas to make the reception an absolute success. The Shay & Company team handled every detail of the event with grace and composure, leading to a positive experience for the client and attendees. Hope Chest for Women also had a great experience working with Shay & Company for an event at their managed venue, MHCC. Team members Beth Edwards, Kristen Boddy, and Morgan Whatley were praised for their guidance and assistance in meeting the organization's needs. Hope Chest for Women plans to secure the venue again next year due to the positive feedback from attendees. Overall, Shay & Company is highly recommended for their dedication and exceptional event planning skills.
