About

Hi. I'm Ashley Lachney.

I started assisting on events in a corporate role beginning in 2012. From there, I moved to an internship assisting on ten weddings in one Summer and planning my own wedding. I left my corporate role then and worked two solid years planning everything from meetings to weddings to charity galas, ensuring that every client felt heard, cared for, and supported in the journey of bringing their event to life. I’m now planning weddings and events full time with Alston Mayger Events, and I’m so.damn.proud to have the opportunity to work with you.

Simply Flawless

Alston Mayger Events is the only planner I would recommend if you're getting married in this area. From the very first meeting with Ashley, her attention to detail and willingness to adapt was apparent. She helped us create a budget and found vendors that fit within it. Ashley was great at responding to emails, setting meetings, and always making us feel heard. The day of our wedding, I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing. The team of vendors Ashley put together made the day seamless and anything that went wrong wasn't brought to my attention. My husband and I had a great time with no stress. So many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they've been to "in a long time". We owe it all to Ashley and her team at Alston Mayger Events.

Osimiri Dream Wedding, by Ashley

If Derek and I could give Ashley 6 stars out of 5, we ABSOLUTELY would. She was THE MOST lovely, patient, proactive, engaged, and kind person to both of us throughout the entire wedding process. All of our family and friends echoed similar sentiments. EVERYONE needs Ashley for their wedding. We’re so serious, haha. Derek and I just had to show up and our dream wedding came into fruition. Thank you Ashley for leading this and for being such a great leader to all of our amazing vendors. We loved working with you.

Ashley & her team will make your dreams a reality!

Ashley is one of the most thoughtful, conscientious, funny and delightful people we've ever had the pleasure of knowing. We cannot emphasize enough how seamlessly Ashley & her team brought our vision to life and executed every aspect of our rehearsal dinner and wedding day with perfection and attention to detail. Our meetings were always filled with laughter and excitement, and reassurance in the process when we needed it most. Ashley got to know us on a real level and remembered details about us that were reflected everywhere on the most special day of our lives.

When we hired Ashley we were a little over a year out from our big day and we had no idea where to begin. We felt her compassion and warmth come through our initial zoom meeting and we appreciated her commitment to being an ally and her values that align with our own. Ashley did a stunning job of helping us dive right in to curate and fine-tune what we wanted our day to look like, down to details that we hadn't even scratched the surface of, without ever making us feel overwhelmed.

As our day got closer, we unexpectedly ended up in the process of buying a house and moving while both working full time and finishing our degrees. I look back at that period of time and I honestly can't imagine how we would have navigated that level of stress without Ashley as our rock, working tirelessly behind the scenes to alleviate any pressure on us.

She helped us select 5 star vendors, built relationships with them and communicated every detail to them, and brought it all together during our wedding weekend by orchestrating everything beautifully and seamlessly. Ashley goes above and beyond to prioritize your well being and your ability to enjoy yourself as a couple, scheduling in time to have a bite to eat (it's harder than you think!) and time to spend with one another as a couple to take a breather and reflect on what getting married is all about. As others have noted here, when working with Ashley, your other vendors will continuously tell you just how amazing she is to work with, and if some kind of act-of-god incident happens on your day, you won't even know about it because she's just that damn good! You know you hired the right person when your wedding guests can't stop talking about how smoothly things are running and how jaw-dropping and stunning the space is.

As a type-A bride, I never thought that it was possible to spend our wedding day fully present and in the moment, but thanks to Alston Mayger we were in a state of bliss and relaxation all weekend without ever encountering a moment of stress. It's not often in life that you meet someone that redefines their industry by being so truly excellent at their job, but that's the level of professionalism and thoughtfulness that Ashley provides.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
