I was referred to Amy and Ashley by my girlfriend who was a bridesmaid of another mutual friend and I'm so glad that I decided to go with them. Ashley was really quick to set up our initial call, go over what I thought I wanted and helped set me up with all other vendors like our photographer, florist, DJ/lighting, etc. With no knowledge of the industry/connections and planning a wedding period, we admitted we were like a blank slate, but they were both really good about explaining time frames, connecting us with the right people, making sure everyone was on the same page, and explaining what had to be taken care of immediately and what could wait.

It was a little scary at first because you're trusting a team of individuals to go off of a dream you've created in your mind and execute what one would imagine only you could envision. They KILLED IT! From other friends who got married, I heard that we should expect something to go other than planned whether it was the cake, timing, other vendors, etc. However, everything went off without a hitch and was literally what we planned - from music queues, timing for pictures with the guests, cake-cutting, and of course having fun. I didn't expect both Amy and Ashley to be there, but I was happy I had the chance to work with both and that they could see the finished product in person. Although, we went over what we thought our budget was, it was worth it. Five months later and we still hear compliments from guests on how beautiful they thought everything was. Thank you!!!

Ashley was wonderful! She is so sweet and with her help the big day ran seamlessly! She was easy to work with and gave me confidence that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. We were so happy to have her be a part of our big day and would highly recommend Ashley and her team! :)

We were referred to Ashley and eighteenth ave events by a mutual friend, we had no idea what type, where, or any idea of how to plan the wedding. Ashley and her team worked hard to help us create our dream wedding. She was so patient with us during the whole process...she helped us look for the best possible vendor choices while keeping our budget in mind. We were really impressed with Ashley during the planning process but the day of the wedding she totally blew us away...from seeing everything put together and looking like it was straight out of a magazine, to being super organized, super & punctual she made our special day a dream come true and we didn't have to worry about a thing! She really has a special design eye, and we are so happy we chose her and her team!

Ashley was everything we needed in a planner. From prior to the start of our partial service contract, she was already on top of it and getting us on track to get everything done ahead of schedule and with as little stress as possible. The day of the wedding was seamless and everything was handled without any concerns or need for us to do anything. She and her staff handled it all! She met every expectation and created an event beyond what we had even imagined ourselves.

I could not have done this without Ashley. My situation was a bit unique because my husband and I were living in SF, got engaged and started the planning process. Shortly after we secured our date and venue, we found out that we were moving to Austin Texas for work and suddenly we had a destination wedding on our hands. Ashley was my right hand. She was absolutely incredible. Not only did I find the best wedding coordinator, but Mike and I found a friend (cheesy but true). Thanks again for everything, Ashley. You are truly amazing at what you do!

I had the opportunity to work with Eighteenth Avenue Events for a bridal shower. I found the owner to be very creative, used innovative ideas for the theme, provided unique details for the event. In addition, they cumin ated all throughout the event planning process both with emails and phone calls in a timely manner. My guest were "Wowed" with the decor presentation, catered foods, cake, and entertainment.

Thank you for all of your support. Your experience and talent as a wedding planner shined throughout the day as you managed to care for the bride and grooms needs, even with situations that were out of your control.

What really stood out to me was your care for all of the contracted workers. You demonstrated effective communication by keeping us in constant awareness of the schedule, through its many changes. You recommended placings fir different segments of the event. Finally, you provided us with an amazing meal.

The moment that stood out for me, was when you asked if I would like the Church doors to be closed to remove the backlighting. Wow. Talk about customer service, attention to detail, and experience with vendors. That one action demonstrated the quality of service you provide, not only to the bride and groom, but to vendors.

Thank you again Ashley. It was a pleasure meeting you.

PS---My wife also thought you were awesome.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
