Couldn't have done it without Ashley!

We really loved working with Ashley! She was a great help throughout the entire process and everything went super smoothly on our wedding day. She took care of all the logistics leading up to and on the day of the wedding so that we were able to just focus on enjoying ourselves. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good wedding planner and I highly recommend Ashley!

Fabulous!!

Ashley was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very transparent and helped refer me to another equally fabulous vendor when she was not able to create the larger backdrop. But the linens were so great and she worked with our venue to get them there early. 10/10 recommend!

Excellent!

Ashley planned our wedding and I could not be more happy with our choice of her as our wedding planner!! She was so incredibly helpful and very organized and detailed! She was very available anytime I had questions or needed help throughout the wedding planning process and very quick and responsive with communication. She was so easy to work with and became like a friend! She is very knowledgeable about vendors and was especially helpful to us since we were planning our wedding from out of state. She carried out all the details we wanted on our wedding day and helped take care of all the logistics which made it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding day!! Highly recommend her, you will love her!!

An Amazing Day!

We originally hired Ashley to create the draping backdrop for the bridal table at a lovely wedding venue. But when my daughter’s wedding turned into a backyard event about 6 weeks before the big day, Ashley jumped in to coordinate the vendors we had already contracted with & find whatever we still needed. Ashley and her assistant Madison put everything together beautifully and helped bring our new vision to life! We were all able to relax and enjoy the big day knowing they had everything under control! Thank you Ashley & Madison!

Absolutely amazing!!

Ashley was always on top of everything. She kept everything and everyone on track and it was because of her that my husband and I had such a perfect wedding day. She decorated beautifully, coordinated all the chaos flawlessly and was there for anything that me, my family or bridal party needed. I would hire Ashley over and over again. Not only is she professional, but she is very personable and super fun! We plan on keeping in touch even though the wedding was on 9/6/2020. If you have the chance to have Ashley as your coordinator take full advantage of that!

Wonderful wedding planner

Ashley is an exceptional wedding planner, she is extremely organized, friendly, and professional. I was so thankful to have her there to coordinate the day of my wedding and rehearsal dinner. She did a great job directing the bridal party during the ceremony and everything went smoothly.

Married During COVID Thanks to AB Occasion Design

We decided we needed a wedding coordinator after selecting our venue and realizing we would need help getting things organized the day of. Ashley from the start was on top of everything. She was always quick to respond and willing to speak to any of our vendors. She was a guiding light for us when Coronavirus made us change our wedding date and find a new venue. The day of our wedding I knew I had nothing to worry about because Ashley and her team had everything under control.

Graduation Dinner Party Review

I contacted Encore Event Design to help with my design and decor needs for a graduation dinner party I hosted for my husband. I specifically worked with Ashley from Encore. We started with an initial consultation where I was able to provide her with my vision and theme. Ashley was very professional, kind, and took my vision and made it a reality. Encore provided my party with linens, plate chargers, custom made centerpieces, fireplace candles, balloons, custom made signage, plus other miscellaneous items. The party decor came out absolutely beautiful!! My guests complimented the party for days after. I was 100% happy with the work of Encore and could not have had a successful event without Ashley. I would utilize their services for future events without hesitation. Thank you Ashley for helping to make such an important day turn out so beautiful and run completely smooth!
