Made our wedding perfect

My wife and I could not have asked for anyone better than Ashley! We hired her as a month-of-coordinator but she went above and beyond.

Prior to the wedding day she was there to provide wedding planning advice, stepped in when I was getting frustrated with one of our vendors and communicated perfectly to us + all vendors regarding the timelines.

On the wedding day her and her team were superstars. Not only did she ensure all timelines and vendors were kept on track but did it with patience, professionalism and assertiveness. Many guests and catering staff members have told me how personable but effective she was. She set up our decorations and tables better than we even imagined could happen. She has an eye for design and a creative vision. Some things went wrong but my wife and I only heard about them after Ashley swooped in and provided quick solutions. She also encouraged a great party environment by giving advice to our DJ to make the dance floor more electric, took initiative with using our Polaroid cameras to take guest photos, and just created a happy environment with every interaction with our guests.

I am not always the easiest person to work with but she “managed” me perfectly! She heard me out on my ideas, but wasn’t afraid to make herself heard on important topics. She gave great advice backed by over a decade of experience.

I would highly recommend Ashley as a wedding planner, month of coordinator, day of coordinator, or anything else. She can help you make your event better than you would ever imagine!

Thank you Ashley for being a huge reason why our wedding was so special!
