Ashley is one of if not the best person we had on our wedding team. We were lying on the bedroom floor both overwhelmed from wedding planning before we were lucky enough to stumble upon Ashley. Ashley was the most useful and helpful consultant/advisor we could have asked for. If we needed vendor suggestions, Ashley always had great recommendations. For us, we were able to find most of our vendors on our own. We think this decision is important for couples to make as you know yourselves best, and you will most likely have the best sense for which vendors will best fit your style and what you're looking for. However after we found our vendors, Ashley pretty much took care of everything. When it came to coordinating details and communications between the venue and different vendors, Ashley took care of everything behind the scenes. Ashley knew all the details of our wedding, and was super helpful in helping us figure out what we wanted if we didn't know. She played such a key role making things stay on track our wedding day too. We even decided to add an extra toast the very last minute, and all we had to do was tell Ashley and she then effortlessly made it happen.

In summary, we feel wedding planning for most people is a skill you use only once in your life. You can try to figure everything out on your own and put in extra hours and stress, but then you end up developing skills and knowledge you may not (ever) use again! For us, it was then 100% worth it to bring Ashley with all her expertise aboard our team. We are so happy with our decision. Not everyone needs a wedding planner, but if any of this review speaks to you, Ashley could just be the peace of mind and extra help you are looking for!

I cannot recommend Ashley Elaine Events enough! She is incredibly professional, organized, fun to work with, and cares about every detail of the couple's wedding experience. I am not exaggerating when I say our wedding literally would not have happened without her! Ashley is incredible at her job - she put together the most beautiful design plan, connected us with a fantastic vendor team, and made our day and wedding planning so fun for us. We did not feel one second of stress during our entire wedding day, and that is because Ashley handled everything for us, so we could sit back and enjoy the day. I never thought I would hire a wedding planner at all, but now I can't understand how anyone gets married without one. Ashley helped us navigate through difficult Covid guidelines, coming up with a plan B for us and when guidelines changed again last minute, Ashley came up with a perfect plan C for us at extremely short notice - less than a month before our wedding! I highly recommend her design plan service as well, it is well worth the price - I do not have a good eye for detail or design and our wedding looked like it should be from a magazine thanks to her vision and direction to vendors. Ashley's work is excellent, and maybe more importantly, her personality is perfect for the job. She just has a way of putting you at ease and assuring you everything is going to be fine, and it is, because she works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure of it. Ashley we can't thank you enough for giving us the most perfect wedding day!

Hiring Ashley was the best thing I have done (besides getting married, of course)! Many brides before me told me how stressful planning a wedding can be. With Ashley by my side, not only was I NEVER stressed, I had such a blast planning! She took my eclectic/nontraditional vision and absolutely delivered (and helped me stick to my budget, which, believe me, is not an easy task). She was more organized than any person I've ever met and always knew exactly where to go/what to do. She handled my request for a hanging swing (yes, a swing) in the venue with ease. When I found a beautiful wood pallet chandelier that I wanted to hang over the dance floor (and was well out of my budget) she found a company (shout out to DesignLight) who made it for us! I had the best wedding I could have possibly ever dreamed of. Our guests are still raving about how much fun it was. None of this could have been possible without Ashley.
