Summer Wember

Summer Wember

Owner, Event Planner

 

Summer has been planning, designing, and coordinating events in Western North Caroling for 15 years.  She started her event planning career in the  non-profit world in 2008 and then morphed those skills into the wedding landscape in 2013.  Summer also has a background in textile design and her deep love for both beauty and detail, ensure that every event is stunning and seamless.  Whether she is producing textiles or events, she is organized, calm, grounded, and a true powerhouse to have on your team.

Having grown up with a summer home in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Asheville has always held a special place in my heart. Special enough that when she and her husband came home from living abroad in Namibia, they decided to make Asheville their full time home. When she is not planning events, she can be found gardening, riding horses, practicing yoga, and spending time with her husband and two daughters!

Kate is our Cincinnati based planner.  After growing up in the Cincy area she left to attend the University of South Carolina and lived in various places before returning to her Cincy roots in 2022.  

She has worked at luxury hotels and resorts such as the Omni Severin in Indianapolis and the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC.  In 2019 she left the hotel industry and became a wedding planner with Firefly Event Company! She can’t imagine doing anything else! 

When not planning events Kate can be found spending time with her husband, daughter or one of her many furry friends including a giant Newfoundland and too many kitties.  What can we say, she is a huge animal lover! She also loves anything vintage, sauvignon blanc, reading, and plants.

Camille loves all things weddings and spreadsheets.  She believes in sticking to the budget, thought through planning, and on point execution.  Camille is a graduate from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.  She worked for a few years in private equity in New York City, and enjoyed working on budgets, schedules, and contracts, but missed the human element in her day to day. Wedding planning was the perfect way to bring together her love of organization and the human experience.  She is living her dream job every day!
 
Camille brings her experience to the wedding planning process, but maintains the mindset that this is YOUR wedding.  Her role is to support you and your vision, no matter your style or goals.  Camille believes everyone should have the type of wedding that makes them excited, and she is here to help you get there.
Camille met her husband met on the Colorado ski slopes and they currently live in Asheville, NC.  When not working, she can be found taking her dog and cats on walks, coaching at her CrossFit gym, baking along with Great British Bake Off, or learning a new art and craft skill!
