I cannot possibly recommend Ashley-Adrien highly enough. I was on the fence about needing a day of coordinator because it felt like I was already doing most of the advance work anyway and it’s a bit of an extra expense. But it was 110% worth it. Ashley and Tiffany took my very minimal instruction— which was honestly a wave of the arm and a “you know, do stuff with all of the stuff on that table and in that corner!”— and made my dream a reality. I didn’t handle or worry about a single thing on my wedding day, freeing me up to spend the entire time with family and friends. Our family and guests even noticed and commented on how amazing they were. Even if you’re not totally sure you need a day of coordinator, I suggest hiring Ashley-Adrien.

I booked Ashley-Adrien Events for Wedding Day Management/Day of Coordination for my wedding on 04.20.24. After the exhaustion of finding a venue for our wedding, I knew the next thing I needed to look for was some assistance in the planning department. I am a very type-A individual, so it is difficult for me to give up control but after one conversation with Ashley, I had complete confidence in her and her team. This package included standard Day of Coordination but Ashley offered customization as needed for additional services such as: Create & Distribute Welcome Packages, Hotel Block & Transportation Management... This allowed me to do most of the planning myself (which is what I wanted) but helped reduce decision fatigue. Instead of filtering through 200+ options for each vendor, Ashley provided me with 3-5 vendors who met my needs and budget. This made picking vendors so much easier, and every recommended vendor was absolutely incredible! Ashley really understood my needs and made the planning process a breeze. When working with Ashley and her team, you also have access to Aisle Planner which is a website that helps to organize guest count, meal selections, seating chart and many other aspects; and also includes some perks such as discounts for invitations, standard photo lists that can be edited to your needs, go-bys for other wedding planning needs and much more. As we got closer to the big day, Ashley used what I put in Aisle Planner and created a complete production schedule/timeline with all of my many specifications and vendor specific details. She let me make edit after edit, then her and her team worked with my vendors to distribute this information and coordinate with them for the big day.
Ana was my coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She was at my final walk-through with the venue, conducted the wedding rehearsal, kept track of every detail and made sure our big day went off without a hitch. As things progressed throughout the day and changes had to be made, Ana handled everything but made sure to keep me in the loop. I was involved just as much as needed, again I am very type A so I wanted to be involved in every aspect, but I appreciated that Ana handled everything and already addressed/fixed what was needed so I didn't have to do anything but give her the thumbs up. I was so nervous that something would go wrong, as it seems something always goes wrong at weddings, but nothing every did! Ana made our day absolutely perfect! She was also so kind and calm throughout the process; this helped to keep me calm which is not an easy task. Ashley and Ana were so responsive, professional, organized, detail oriented, and kind. Everything you need in a wedding planning/coordinating team! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Ashley was such an amazing planner! One of my bridesmaids even said this was the most organized wedding she had ever been to. For reference, I had a 150+ guest wedding at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. There was a lot of activity and detail to tend to with 8= bridesmaids all getting hair and makeup done professionally and Ashley did not forget a thing. She provided a 40 page PDF with a full timeline and all wedding details that I was able to share out with all my VIPs. It included the wedding party names, the seating chart, all vendor contact info, hair & makeup schedule as well as a full and detailed timeline. Multiple people remarked on how low my stress level seemed the day of the wedding and that is large part due to Ashley! She is friendly, professional, organized, and detail--oriented. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Ashley was amazing to work with! She was extremely Prompt in responses to my million questions. On the wedding day she was so flexible and on the ball with every detail! Would highly recommend!!!

Ashley was great to work with! She is very responsive and ensured we had a stress-free day. Highly recommend!

After spending almost 2 years planning every detail of my wedding, I knew we'd need a month of coordinator to bring the vision to life. We had a consultation with Ashley and immediately booked with her and I'm so glad we did. Ashley went above and beyond! She literally brought our vision to life and helped us have the PERFECT day. Ashley and her co-cordinator Kaylyn were incredible. They were kind and compassionate but also firm and professional to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of. Things that I didn't even think about, they made sure it got done! Even before month of services started, Ashley was still there for any support or questions I had. I'm so happy we went with Ashley and can't recommend her enough!

We hadn't initially planned to hire a day-of coordinator, but we are SO GLAD we did! Ashley and Kaylyn were absolutely amazing! They stepped in about a month before the wedding to help with confirming vendors, doing the final walkthrough, putting together the production schedule, and so on, and helped to take on a lot of the last minute stress. They ran the rehearsal the day before the wedding and helped put everyone at ease. We handed off all of our decor then as well, and Ashley made me feel confident everything would be set up just as we envisioned, and MAN did she deliver! Ashley was extremely patient with me through all of my stressing out about the rain plan (we were facing a slight chance of rain), and was very helpful on the day of to make sure the right setup plan was enacted. She took care of every little thing on wedding day, and if there were any problems, we didn't have to deal with any of them! Kaylyn was also really great, and was especially helpful with our unruly flower kids as we lined up for the processional (thanks Kaylyn!!).

I highly recommend a DOC, and even more highly recommend Ashley-Adrien Events!

I was blown away by the attention to detail Ashley displayed from the day she was hired. Couldn't have done it without her and Kaylyn. They even worked with a vendor to facilitate a refund. Best DOCs, highly recommended.

I don’t even know what I would have done without Ashley and her team. She kept me so sane amidst all the wedding stress. Ashley and her assistants were all on point. I hired her as a day of coordinator, I had decided to plan most of everything on my own because of the type A person I am. She did an amazing job coordinating and making sure the day was the best. I heard so many good things about her and her team from my family and friends. They were so cool and meshed well with my family and guests, they were dancing with us a couple times! I’d 100% hire Ashley again for future events!!

Ashley-Adrien Events definitely stepped up and guided us (from single to HAPPILY MARRIED) through from beginning to end. The support and professionalism was endearing and unmatched!!!!!
