The Franchise StudioWed, established in 2008 in Asheville, NC has grown nationwide in the past 4 years with additional studios in Atlanta, Denver and Nashville. As the StudioWed brand grows, it is the goal to become the standard for wedding planning. StudioWed Atlanta Wedding Planner, Michelle Gainey, opened StudioWed in March 2009 with the hopes of streamlining the wedding planning process for brides in Atlanta. Knowing the planning process can be stressful and overwhelming, she wanted to create a haven for engaged couples to find quality vendors and resources to plan their wedding. Michelle has carefully selected vendors and created a stylish and sophisticated studio where brides can draw inspiration, sip a cup of coffee or enjoy a glass of wine, while meeting Atlanta’s best vendors.

Vendor Testimonials
Roy said... My personal experience with StudioWed has allowed me to work alongside some of the best vendors Atlanta has to offer. Being able to keep up with the high standards that the studio and its vendors demands has not only grown my business, but has also brought credibility to my company. The education program and the exposure the studio provides have also had a positive inlfuence on my company. I definitely look forward to returning to StudioWed and would recommend it to any business that is ready to step up their game. ...Roy Arriaga, Unique Event Management Sarah said... StudioWed has been instrumental in helping me build a name for my business in the local wedding market. Not only has it connected me with potential clients, but it has provided me with a family of area wedding vendors, all of whom have become like my business partners, creative sounding boards and mentors. Folgio Press would not have grown the way that it did this year without my partnership with StudioWed. ...Sarah Sorrentino, Foglio Press Mark said... Branding of a business is important. The integrity and quality of that brand determines its overall success. Here at One Sound and Entertainment, we pride ourselves on impeccable quality and we only partner with others who do the same. StudioWed has shown unmatched quality and integrity and it attracts clients who do the same. We have built lasting partnerships, enhanced the integrity of the One Sound and Entertainment brand and expanded our client base in the short time we’ve become an exclusive StudioWed vendor, and it’s all due to our StudioWed affiliation. ...Mark Adams, One Sound and Entertainment
