At Abernethy Center, we know that planning a wedding isn’t just about choosing vendors, it’s about feeling confident in your decisions, supported throughout the process, and connected to professionals who truly understand your vision. That belief is what led us to create SMOOCH, and it’s the foundation of the SMOOCH Vendor Community.
SMOOCH is Abernethy Center’s planning-forward wedding community and a trusted resource for couples navigating the wedding planning journey. Through curated events, educational content, and meaningful connections, SMOOCH exists to replace overwhelm with clarity, confidence, and genuine connection.
WHAT IS SMOOCH?
SMOOCH is a modern wedding planning resource designed to help couples feel informed, energized, and supported every step of the way. As an industry leader and trusted source, SMOOCH offers more than inspiration, it provides truly useful tools that help couples make confident decisions.
From planning shortcuts and budget guidance to timeline support, expert Q&As, and mistake-proofing tips, each SMOOCH experience blends modern inspiration with practical education. The goal is simple: to help couples plan smarter, feel prepared, and enjoy the process just as much as the celebration itself.
ABOUT THE SMOOCH VENDOR COMMUNITY
The SMOOCH Vendor Community is a thoughtfully curated group of wedding professionals we trust, admire, and love working alongside. This community includes vendors across a wide range of styles, services, and investment levels, allowing couples to explore options that truly fit their needs, priorities, and vision.
Rather than focusing on a single aesthetic, the SMOOCH Vendor Community celebrates variety, flexibility, and approachability. These vendors are exceptional at what they do and bring professionalism, creativity, and care to every wedding day. Any couple would be lucky to work with them.
This list is designed to serve as a reliable, planning-forward resource, giving couples a strong starting point while still allowing space for personal expression and choice.
WHY WE RECOMMEND THESE VENDORS
Every vendor included in the SMOOCH Vendor Community has earned their place through experience, collaboration, and consistency. These are professionals who:
Deliver high-quality work with care and intention
Communicate clearly and professionally throughout the planning process
Show up prepared, organized, and collaborative
Understand the flow and function of weddings (especially at Abernethy Center!)
Prioritize the couple’s experience above all else
Our recommendations are rooted in trust. We’ve seen these vendors support couples behind the scenes, adapt gracefully when plans shift, and contribute positively to the overall wedding experience.
WHY WE LOVE WORKING WITH THEM
Great wedding days are built on teamwork, and the vendors within the SMOOCH Vendor Community embody that spirit. They collaborate seamlessly, respect timelines, and approach each celebration with professionalism and heart.
Because of the relationships we’ve built with these vendors, wedding days run more smoothly, from communication and logistics to the overall energy of the event. That familiarity creates a calmer, more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, especially our couples.
A PLANNING RESOURCE DESIGNED FOR CLARITY
We understand how overwhelming wedding planning can feel, especially when couples are faced with endless options and conflicting advice. The SMOOCH Vendor Community exists to cut through the noise.
This list is intentionally designed as a planning-forward resource, one that helps couples feel confident in their choices while still encouraging creativity and individuality. Whether you’re just starting to explore vendors or refining your final team, the SMOOCH Vendor Community is here to guide you with clarity and confidence.
FOR VENDORS: A RELATIONSHIP-CENTERED COMMUNITY
For vendors, SMOOCH serves as more than a recommendation list, it’s a relationship-centered hub. Through collaborative features, educational spotlights, venue socials, shared resources, and in-person connections, SMOOCH creates opportunities for vendors to showcase their work in meaningful, authentic ways.
Our goal is to connect engaged couples with trusted professionals who are actively invested in education, collaboration, and the planning experience, not just the final product.
