The perfect wedding planner!!

Ash Events is absolutely amazing! Ashley and her team made the entire process feel so easy and truly brought our vision to life.

We were able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about a thing because we knew they had everything handled. Everyone was so organized, helpful, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We are so thankful for everything they did to make our day so special and would recommend them a million times over!

Best team!

If you are looking for a wedding planner, stop your search here — Ash Events is the one. From our very first meeting to the moment we walked off the dance floor, Ash was exceptional in every way. They took our vision and turned it into something more stunning than we ever could have dreamed. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, every timeline ran smoothly, and every little thing we cared about was handled with such care and intention.
What truly set Ash apart was the peace of mind they gave us especially with money, design, and just the process it’s self. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but we never once felt stressed because we knew we were in the best possible hands. On the day itself, we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment and that is the greatest gift a planner can give. Our wedding was the most beautiful, perfect day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Ash. If you want a planner who is talented, professional, warm, and genuinely invested in making your day extraordinary look no further. Highly, highly recommend. 10/10.

Amazing Experience!

As a mother of the bride, I highly recommend Ash Events as a Wedding Coordinator. Oh my…Ashley and her team’s attention to detail is incredible. Ashley listened to our daughter’s and her groom’s wishes and executed it all. Basically, she makes it happen! We enjoyed our meetings throughout the year of planning and all of her recommendations. The day of the wedding Ashley and her team gracefully glided through the event like a well-oiled machine always 10 steps ahead of us while focused on the needs of the bride and groom. Ashley has the beautiful gift of listening and retaining information during the planning year. Reserve Ash Events and enjoy this most special time!

A Stress-Free Wedding Thanks to Ash Events!

We chose Ash Events for their Event Management package, and from the very first conversation with Ashley, I knew our wedding day was going to be amazing. As a Type A bride, I loved being involved in planning all the details, but having their team step in about 10-14 days before the big day was exactly what I needed. Throughout the planning process I asked a lot of questions, and Ashley and her team were always quick to respond and incredibly kind and helpful every time. When they stepped in before the wedding, they took the reins, coordinated with our vendors, and made sure every detail was accounted for.

On the wedding day, I felt completely stress-free knowing everything was in their hands. I was able to truly relax and enjoy the day with my husband, family, and friends instead of worrying about logistics. If you're someone who wants to plan your wedding but still have professionals make sure everything runs smoothly, the Event Management package is absolutely the way to go. And if you're not as crazy about planning as I am, I'm sure they would be just as amazing to work with to plan your entire event from start to finish!

HIre Immediately

The only regret I have is not hiring Ash Events sooner. We were about 3 months from our big day when things started to feel extremely overwhelming. Ash Events swooped in and saved the day. We had such an amazing experience working with them. They held monthly meetings with us, helped make decisions and took so much off of my plate. The day before we had a bit of an issue with our venue. Thank God for Piper! She answered all of my chaotic messages and said don't worry I'll handle it. She was so good at validating how I was feeling but also taking it off my plate so I could focus and be in a positive mind set. The day of Piper and Carly went above and beyond! They set up the whole venue and managed everything. I was so thankful that I was just able to show up and get ready. We even had a wedding crasher that I had no idea about until much later that night! They handled it with such grace! They truly did everything in their power to make our day perfect! They even took their own pictures and send those to me. I was so overwhelmed by how amazing they were. It took a huge weight off of me. Hiring them was truly a game changer! Especially after talking to other planners. They are so professional, kind and really want to make these events special for their clients. I can't thank them enough!

You can’t go wrong

We hired Ash Events for month-of coordination, and they were absolutely incredible! From the start, communication was so easy — they were responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

As a very organized bride, I wanted a team who could step in and flawlessly execute my vision, and that’s exactly what they did.

They went above and beyond on the day of our wedding, with 3–4 team members onsite ensuring everything ran smoothly. There was always someone checking in with me, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Literally nothing went wrong — and if it did, I had no idea because they handled everything so seamlessly.

Even though our wedding was small (just 45 guests), they treated it like a royal affair. Every detail was exactly how I wanted it, and the entire Ash Events team was so friendly, professional, and calm throughout the day. I can’t recommend them enough — if you’re looking for coordinators who will care as much about your day as you do, Ash Events is the one!

Loved Them!

Ash Events was incredible to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. We chose to do with month-of coordination because we weren’t local to SC and wanted someone who knew the vendors/areas well. From the beginning, Ash and her team were helpful with even just getting started planning a wedding and providing resources throughout the process. They have excellent knowledge on Myrtle Beach weddings/events/contacts/etc.

Carlie was our lead for the wedding day and she was fantastic! She came the night before for rehearsal and helped walk our big group through everything. Her and the team on our wedding day were amazing and I am so grateful we had them there! They helped the day run smoothly, keeping everything and everyone on track. They coordinated with our vendors which was one less thing for us as a couple to have to worry about. Even little things that you don’t think about like someone following behind you for photos holding your veil and dress or giving advice on when to bring our dog in. Could not recommend them enough!

Fun Event Planner Alert!!

We instantly clicked with Ashley during our initial phone call which made our decision to work with AshEvents a no brainer!! Ashley was very patient with me during the planning process and helped keep me grounded. Exactly what I needed when I was feeling a little underwater. Ashley and her team really blew us away when we saw how hard working and committed they were during the entire wedding day. The took full control and never missed a beat. As far as I'm concerned there were zero hiccups and everything went perfectly! They completely exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend working with AshEvent for any event you have coming soon.
