Ellender Experiences
Bringing breathtaking events to life in the Blue Ridge Mountains
At Ellender Experiences, we believe everything is worth celebrating and no detail is too small to be important. We specialize in event planning and flawless execution so that you can focus on creating memories with the people you love.
We provide wedding and event planning as well as wedding and event venue partnerships in Leicester, North Carolina and the greater Asheville, North Carolina area.
There is no event too big or too small for us, and no venue that we aren’t excited to partner with. If you’re looking to create an experience that your guests will never forget, or want to share your incredible venue with the world, we’d love to help!
