What makes Erin Lowndes with Plain with Sprinkles Events a good neighbor?
When Erin Lowndes hired a traditional wedding planner for her own 2017 wedding, she discovered a critical gap in the industry. As a self-described "non-traditional person," she felt the disconnect between rigid wedding conventions and her authentic self. This experience sparked a vision that would eventually become Plain With Sprinkles Events—a wedding planning company specifically designed to serve couples who don't fit neatly into traditional wedding frameworks.
From her home in Hot Springs, North Carolina, Erin now leads a team dedicated to creating safe, authentic celebrations particularly for LGBTQ+ couples and others who find themselves underrepresented in wedding traditions. With a background in theater stage management from VCU, Erin brings the perfect blend of logistical precision and creative vision to each celebration she coordinates. Her approach flips conventional wedding planning on its head: rather than starting with discussions about napkins and place settings, she begins by asking couples how they want to feel on their wedding day—a question many have never considered.
What makes Erin's philosophy truly refreshing is her rejection of the "best day of your life" wedding ideal. Instead, she sees weddings as a beautiful moment that should propel couples toward even better days ahead, filled with the love and energy they cultivate on their wedding day. After finding her own chosen family and building a beautiful life in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Erin brings a profound appreciation for authentic community to each wedding she plans. Whether you're planning a traditional celebration or something completely unique, Erin's parting wisdom resonates: approach life with love and beauty, stay present, and when you feel a wiggle of joy, hold it in your heart—because that's where the real magic happens.

This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Skip Monty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, hello everyone and welcome to the Good Neighbor
Podcast.
So I am really psyched todaybecause we've got a very special
guest in the studio with us andwho owns several businesses but
and is from one of my favoriteplaces on the planet, Hot
Springs, North Carolina.
And I'm sure you'll be just asexcited to hear from her,
(00:32):
because today I have thepleasure of introducing your
good neighbor, Ms Erin Lowndes,who is the owner-operator of
Plain With Sprinkles.
Erin, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Well, thank you, I'm glad to be here.
Well, like I said, we'rethrilled to have you, big fan of
your hometown there and superexcited to learn all about what
you do.
So, if you don't mind, whydon't you start us off by
telling us about your business?
Plain with Sprinkles Events.
It is a wedding planningcompany based in Asheville,
(01:06):
north Carolina.
I clearly work in Hot Springsat my home right now, but I've
got a team of really great youknow planners and assistants who
serve a really amazing part ofour population that is
underserved in our community.
When I moved to the Ashevillearea, I originally moved to
(01:28):
Marshall and I started mybusiness thinking that because I
just I'm an untraditionalperson, a non-traditional I
don't have a same kind of familystructure as everybody else
does, and when I got married in2017, I hired a planner and
(01:48):
learned a lot through theprocess of what it's like to
have a traditional planner hiredfor your event, when you're a
non-traditional person in theway that you approach things,
and I decided that I needed tomake sure that I serve a
population that feels like theydon't want to have a wedding
(02:08):
just like everybody else.
They want to have more support,they want to feel as safe as
possible to express themselvesand to show themselves and to be
able to share that with theirfriends and family and their
community.
And that's really important tome and I found that in my work
(02:31):
that I speak to my own community, which is the queer community,
the LGBTQ plus people who getmarried and don't really have
the same kind of resources andthere's no traditions that
really are set in place likeweddings are.
It is set up in a traditionalsense of male and female and you
get married.
There's a bride and a groom, youdance with your father.
(02:51):
You do these things, but as aqueer person, you don't have
those same opportunities.
You can't just do the samethings.
You can't walk down the aislethe same way.
Even so, it was exploring thesetraditions and creating new
ones to work with my clients.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Very cool.
I love it.
I love it.
I did an interview the otherweek with I don't know.
I was going to ask if you hadever officiated or not
officiated but planned a weddingat Fleetwoods.
Have you ever been there?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I have.
I have.
I actually did a styled shootthere.
I have not I have actually notplanned an event there or an
elopement or anything, but Ihave actually gotten married to
my friends there, which was sofun very cool.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, I love that place, I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, I got very good it's like midnight and we uh
were having drinks, uh, at thedouble crown down the street and
we decided like, hey, let's allget married together.
And six of us got together andbe like all did it and they
played us David Bowie and it wasphenomenal.
So our two year anniversary iscoming up.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Very cool, very cool Rock and roll chapel, yeah.
So how did you?
You kind of touched on this,but, aaron, how did you get into
the wedding planning business?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, I got into the business in kind of a sideways
way.
I have a background in theaterstage management.
I went to VCU in Richmond,virginia, and got my bachelor's
of fine art in theater stagemanagement.
I worked in that kind of careerfield for a while and ended up
moving to Tucson, arizona, formy then partner and ended up
(04:29):
finding it hard to work in thetheater industry there.
I had to piece together a lot ofthings and then I decided that
I needed a career shift and tofigure out so I can have like
one job instead of four or fivedifferent jobs at the same time.
And I landed in working withthis beautiful woman, colleen
LaFleur, who she just sheinspired me.
(04:53):
She was a florist and weddingplanner and she trained me up
and I just fell in love with thewedding industry in a different
way.
I never thought that I wouldland in something that would be
in such a commercial orcommercials field like field
that's not as creative, but itis such a creative field, and
decided that, like my you know,my career in stage management
(05:16):
has the same kind of skill setsas a wedding planner would have
and immediately took on to itand I loved the ability to work
with people who are just in loveum, and to have an impact on
their day and to allow them tobe themselves.
Um, it felt like the coolestthing to be able to bring their
(05:36):
personalities into the day.
Um, in a way that I couldn't inwedding.
They're in theater in the samevery cool.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, yeah, I imagine it's really rewarding to be
involved in.
You know, for a lot of peoplethat's the happiest day of their
life and you know a big eventand to be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, to be a part it's got to be exciting it can
be, but also in the same mindsetof like, um, the way that
people think like this is thebest day of your life, I
honestly don't want this to bethe best day of everybody's of
their life.
Um, I wanted to just propelthem into better, if that makes
sense, and to propel them intoan energy where they're like,
(06:16):
filled with love and life, andthey get to keep sharing that
with people.
I don't think it should be thebest day of your life, because
that feels sad to me.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, me too.
Me too, I get it.
Well, what are some myths ormisconceptions in the wedding
industry or event industry?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I mean the misconceptions.
I mean people think that theyneed to do the thing that their
cousin did.
They think that they need to dowhat their sister did.
They need to do what theirparents did has gotten in such a
expensive, huge thing that youhave to spend tens of thousands
(06:57):
of dollars to be able to have agood time, to be able to have
the luxe flowers that yourcousin also had, to have the
same stuff.
You don't have to have all ofthat.
You can do things on ashoestring budget and be able to
still have a magical day foryourselves budget and be able to
like, still have a magical dayfor yourselves.
So I don't.
(07:17):
I think people can findthemselves with money in the
wedding industry thinking thatthey can't have the same things
or they force traditions onthemselves because they thought
they had to.
So I like to kind of approachworking with my clients being
like what's important to you,what are your priorities?
What do you want to feel onyour day?
What's that's the importantthing?
Like, what do you want tocreate with your, with your
partner, what do you want toshare with your friends and
(07:38):
family?
And kind of just stripping awayall the extra stuff of like
what kind of plates, what kindof napkins?
Let's just not even talk aboutthat yet.
Let's talk about what you wantto feel first, and that, and a
lot of people, when you walkinto that conversation, don't
have not even thought about ityet.
They haven't thought about howthey want to feel on their day
yet.
So I like to make, I like tostart there.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Very good, very good.
Well, outside of work, what doyou like to do for fun, erin?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I'm an artist, so I paint, I draw.
I also make all kinds of reallyfun fiber arts and things like
that.
I love hanging out with myfriends.
We go to the river.
I mean, we live in Hot Springs.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
North.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Carolina, so we're river people over here and we've
got mountains surrounding us.
I have six dogs, so I spend alot of time at home with my
partner and my dogs and and Ilove traveling.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Time with family Absolutely Best.
You got the AT going rightthrough the middle of town too.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I do.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's literally a block from my house, so you can
hike anytime you want, justwalking down the street.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I walk on it almost every day.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Love it crazy.
Well, let's switch gears forjust a second.
Can you describe a hardship ora life challenge that you've
overcome and how it made youstronger in the end?
Oh boy, either professionallyor or personally, whatever.
Yeah, I mean there's.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I have a lot that I can go from.
In that scheme of things, Ithink the hardest thing that
I've ever had to go through wasmy career shift into wedding
planning and to figure out whatactually that I wanted that and
to start this business, ratherthan staying on with LeFleur and
(09:29):
becoming a business partnerwith her, because that was
proposed to me when I was livingin Arizona.
My dad died.
My father died and I was livingsuper far away from my family,
so it was a tough transition tobe able to take the time to
grieve and I found myself in thewedding industry and then I
(09:53):
decided, like I want this formyself.
I want to.
I want to work with the clientsI want to work with.
I want to create the day that Iwant to work with, or, like the
, with the people that I want towork with.
I want to collaborate on abigger scale, um, with these
people.
And I decided I was going tomove across, to come back across
(10:13):
the country, but not move backto Richmond.
And I moved to Marshall, northCarolina, which is the next town
over from Hot Springs, and Ijust fell in love.
I fell in love with thatcommunity and I.
I overcame it just by trying it, just by doing the thing that I
felt like I needed to do.
(10:33):
I felt a calling to provide asafe space for people, and with
that I was in weddings.
So why not do it in weddingsand make their love feel special
?
And it took a huge leap and ahuge jump.
I'd never started a businessbefore, I'd never done a huge
move across the country bymyself before, so it really felt
(10:54):
like a huge thing where I waschoosing myself and choosing a
place where I felt like I canfind the community that I've
always been looking for.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
From Arizona to Marshall, North Carolina.
That's crazy.
How did you pick Marshall?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I picked Marshall.
Well, my grandparents moved toAsheville about 20 something
years ago and fell in love withAsheville in a different sense
and I loved visiting.
My dad also fell in love withAsheville but then fell in love
with Marshall.
He found he was looking atproperty in the surrounding
areas and fell in love withMarshall and I grew up
renovating the family farmhousein Marshall with him.
(11:34):
Every summer I'd come down andrenovate and do things and paint
and build and it was such aninspiring time and with that I
learned the community.
Because it's so small, youcan't go anywhere here without
meeting everyone, and I alwayshad it in my heart as a place
that I feel safe, in, that I canbreathe.
And after losing my dad it feltlike, oh shit, oh sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Language.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I really just wanted to be in the place that I could
breathe and that felt safe to me, and so Marshall was calling to
me and just ended up needing tobe here and I didn't know why
or how.
And over the last like almost10 years it's been the most
beautiful time and I found mychosen family here.
(12:24):
I have like the most beautifullife and I'm so lucky.
Even after Helene it'sexponentially more special.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Awesome, awesome, great, great story.
Well, if, erin, if you couldthink of one thing that you'd
like our listeners to rememberabout you and about playing with
sprinkles, what would?
What would that be?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think not that everybody is getting married or
anything, but I thinkapproaching life with love and
beauty and being as present aspossible really does create
magic for you, and I know thatthis.
I don't know if your audienceis a little bit woo-woo or not,
(13:07):
but if they find themselvesfeeling a little bit of a wiggle
or a piece of joy, hold that inyour heart and feel it, and I
feel like that's what I like totry to bring to my clients and
to the people around me.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Awesome A wiggle.
You got to hold that wiggle in.
Hold that wiggle in or let itout.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Sometimes you got to let those wiggles out.
Yeah, you got to release them,you got to share them.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Absolutely, I love it .
I love it.

How did you pick Marshall?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I picked Marshall.
Well, my grandparents moved toAsheville about 20 something
years ago and fell in love withAsheville in a different sense
and I loved visiting.
My dad also fell in love withAsheville but then fell in love
with Marshall.
He found he was looking atproperty in the surrounding
areas and fell in love withMarshall and I grew up
renovating the family farmhousein Marshall with him.
(11:34):
Every summer I'd come down andrenovate and do things and paint
and build and it was such aninspiring time and with that I
learned the community.
Because it's so small, youcan't go anywhere here without
meeting everyone, and I alwayshad it in my heart as a place
that I feel safe, in, that I canbreathe.
And after losing my dad it feltlike, oh shit, oh sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Language.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I really just wanted to be in the place that I could
breathe and that felt safe to me, and so Marshall was calling to
me and just ended up needing tobe here and I didn't know why
or how.
And over the last like almost10 years it's been the most
beautiful time and I found mychosen family here.
(12:24):
I have like the most beautifullife and I'm so lucky.
Even after Helene it'sexponentially more special.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Awesome, awesome, great, great story.
Well, if, erin, if you couldthink of one thing that you'd
like our listeners to rememberabout you and about playing with
sprinkles, what would?
What would that be?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think not that everybody is getting married or
anything, but I thinkapproaching life with love and
beauty and being as present aspossible really does create
magic for you, and I know thatthis.
I don't know if your audienceis a little bit woo-woo or not,
(13:07):
but if they find themselvesfeeling a little bit of a wiggle
or a piece of joy, hold that inyour heart and feel it, and I
feel like that's what I like totry to bring to my clients and
to the people around me.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Awesome A wiggle.
You got to hold that wiggle in.
Hold that wiggle in or let itout.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Sometimes you got to let those wiggles out.
Yeah, you got to release them,you got to share them.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Absolutely, I love it .
I love it.
