Ashton Events will make your wedding dreams come true!

Without a doubt Laura and her team are the dream team! From the very first time we met Laura (via FaceTime) we immediately vibed with her and ended that call feeling relieved that we found someone that who understood our direction. Every step of the way we were confident that everything was coming together. Laura has such attention to detail and the confidence she exudes makes the experience of working with her so relaxed, something all brides want to feel. On our wedding day up until the time of the ceremony it rained but it never once stopped Laura and her team from still creating the most magical day of our life. (It was an all outdoor wedding btw)
Ashton Events made our wedding dreams come true! Tipi tents and all! We love you guys and miss you! Thankful we found you :)

Five stars!

Hands down, Laura with Ashton Events is the best wedding planner ever! Not only did I have the honor of working with Laura on my wedding, but my bridal shower too! Both turned out AH-mazing! AE made this process easy and enjoyable from start to finish! There was NEVER a time that I had to worry... literally! Laura and her team were organized, attentive, creative, patient, thorough, respectful, dedicated, and available. During the day of each event I was able to relax and celebrate with guests! Ashton Events is passionate about each event and has far exceeded our expectations! Thank you for bringing our vision to life and for creating such a beautiful memory!

What weddings are made of!

When Joey and I got engaged we honestly didn’t believe we would need a wedding planner. We started our first couple months engaged getting our feet wet; looking at different vendors, and gathering information about all inclusive venues. I personally LOVE to plan events and throw parties, my mom as well, so we didn’t think a wedding planner would be necessary. However, everywhere Joey and I would go and every person we talked to couldn’t offer us exactly what we needed or wanted. I heard about Laura Helm and her team at Ashton Events and decided to see what she could offer. I. Was. Blown. Away. Immediately Laura got to know me and my now husband and I and started piecing our special day together.
To be totally transparent, Laura went above and beyond for my family, Joey, and I. My sister, maid of honor, was on a heart transplant list. With our wedding being out of town for both our families, it was pivotal that we could find someone who was willing to work with us if something were to happen to my sister. Laura and her team where the only ones who could help (not even wedding insurance, yes that is a real thing, would cover our families medical need during this season of wedding planning). At that moment, I knew Laura was more than a wedding planner, she cared and became like family to us.
From phone call check-in’s, to vendor meetings, everything was so smooth working with Laura. Laura executed our vision perfectly! Both Joey and I are detail oriented individuals and we were able to trust Laura and her team completely with our dream day. There wasn’t one thing on the day of our wedding that I would change. All of Ashton Events are professional, trendy, and innovative! Laura brought to the table ideas you can’t find on Pinterest. She is an artisan and creator!
Laura and her team helped Joey and I rest easy throughout our engagement and not sweat the small stuff. Laura wouldn’t allow us to stress and offered to take things off our plate and remind us what the big picture was. We had the time of our lives. Joey and I are 8 months married and wish every day we could do our wedding all over again because it was that much fun!! All of our friends and family still talk about how fun our wedding was. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing Laura Helm and her team.

Not only to we love the people behind Ashton Events, but their creativity, experience, and skill is unmatched in Central Florida. Their ability to bring vendors together as a team while giving the bride and groom 110% attention makes for a great event.

Laura is so insanely good it's ridiculous. We've worked together on a shoot and she was so on top of everything and made the vision come together perfectly. I cannot say enough about the way she handled things from start to finish. Honestly, she's the best.
