My finance set up our initial meeting with Ashlee because he and I had such different ideas about our big day. With grace and humor, she helped us refine a cohesive vision that we were both excited to be a part of planning. We agreed on a beach wedding that would focus on celebrating our union, and Ashlee made even the tasks I dreaded fun. When our original location didn't work out, she helped keep attitudes positive and the sense of joy alive and well. Her experience in event and wedding planning was invaluable, as she was able to anticipate options, challenges and opportunities that would have left me stymied. Her creativity is tremendous, and it helped us create a party that represented the personality of our relationship. I am sure that several things probably didn't go according to plan the day of the ceremony (because when you get married on a public beach the unexpected is bound to occur), but I am completely unaware of any of them, because Ashlee had all the skills to handle it with a smile on her face. While she handled the details, I focused on the celebration. I wouldn't change a thing.

Its months after the wedding, and I still have friends from all walks of life calling to tell me how beautiful and how much fun our wedding was to be a part of. The quote that summarizes the product Ashlee creates was from a reluctant wedding attendee to his girlfriend "That wedding was so great we stayed until the end...we never stay to the end!"
