Kylie
Lead Wedding Planner
Hello there, my name is Kylie Haslem and I am so excited to meet you! While originally from Indiana, I am happy to call the beautiful mountains of Asheville home. In my free time I enjoy walking local trails, playing board games, scrapbooking all my adventures, and snuggling my cat, Nova. My favorite part of wedding day is setting out all the personal décor brought in by my couples, and watching their vision come to life!
