Absolute perfect experience

Ashley and her team went over and above making the perfect wedding for my wife and I. The attention to detail was out of this world. If I could go back there is nothing I would change about the experience, I would recommend her to all of my friends. Ashley is such a creative mind and lovely soul.

Ashley - the G.O.A.T!!! (Greatest of All Time)

What can I say about Ashley and her team that will capture the truly INCREDIBLE experience we had? It is very difficult to put into words!

Ashley and her team are without a doubt the most professional, friendly, and flexible team we have had the pleasure of working with for event planning. Our wedding planning was something we had stressed about for some time, but from day one of working with Ashley... it became a breeze! Not only that, but we were kept in the loop 100% of the time so there was never a question of where things were headed, what we needed to do, etc. We felt like we were in control even though Ashley and her team did EVERYTHING! Even little things that we couldn't decide on, Ashley was always there to lend advice and keep us on track without pressuring us into anything. Our stress turned into excitement thanks to her!

For the day itself, we had ideas of what we wanted and those ideas, once in Ashley's hands, became a reality and exceeded our wildest expectations. There was not a single thing I would change and I still receive texts/calls weeks after the wedding from friends saying how incredible it all was. I've seen some other designs/events that Ashley has done and I have to say... she can do it all. Whatever your dream is, she will deliver!

Ashley made our wedding the event that we wanted and then some. Something we will remember for the rest of our lives. From start to finish... PERFECT. She is the only event planner I will ever recommend to anyone from this point on. The greatest of all time, the G.O.A.T!!

Incomparable Attention to Detail and Our Wedding Dreams

Festoons & Flourishes is the best wedding planner we could have ever dreamed of working with for our big day. We truly cannot imagine our dream day or the journey to getting there without Ashley. From our very first meeting, she listened and paid attention to who we are as a couple, our story, our style, and more to create a unique vision for our wedding. With her creative genius and artful eye, this vision highlighted and celebrated our love story/journey in very personal ways. She made everything magical and beautiful. It was a gorgeous day with large and small details that were beautiful, elegant, and personal! The experience of working with Ashley, from the very first day we reached out to even after the wedding day, has been such a pleasure. We so enjoyed working with Ashley and collaborating with her throughout the process - it was really fun to bounce ideas off of each other, learn so much about each other, and share so much together. Getting engaged is so exciting and the idea of wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Ashley’s level of experience, expertise, and calm demeanor helped to ensure that the process of planning was enjoyable and reassured us that our wedding would be seamless and spectacular…which it certainly was!!! She is extremely organized was able to bring soooo many moving parts together in amazingly efficient and effective ways. Ashley was an amazing advocate and support system during such an exciting time. After having to postpone our wedding date by almost a whole year and dealing with the uncertainty of planning during a pandemic, Ashley made what would have been a difficult/uncertain time for us alone, manageable and still celebratory every step of the way. She truly thought of every detail leading up to and on the wedding day - we were able to fully enjoy the day without any worries because we were confident Festoons & Flourishes had everything handled! Our guests were blown away and still talk about the amazing experience they had on our special day. We could go on and on about the fantastic experience we have had with Ashley. She made sure we felt celebrated and cared for throughout this entire process. Thank you so much for making our wedding our most magical day ever - we love you!

Festoons and Flourishes made our event seamless, beautiful and an incredible experience for guests

Ashley made our wedding reception everything we could've dreamed of and more. My husband and I are not "normal".... We have a very unconventional way of going about things. What's more, is that we are lazy and didn't want to have to come up with any plans on our own. Our ideas of "awesome" are a bit over-the-top but Ashley handled us like the pro that she is. She went above and beyond down to every detail and made our Wedding Bash not only speak to our personalities in a classy way (NOT easy to do, lol) but made our reception the best experience for our guests. And we barely had to lift a finger! My husband and I were told multiple times by our guests that our reception was the best and most fun they'd ever had. Guests couldn't stop talking about it for a week afterwards. None of it would've been possible without Ashley. I would hire her 100 times over if I could. If I ever have another wedding (hopefully not, lol) she'll be the one to help me plan it. If you're lucky enough to book her, don't waste any more time. Your event is guaranteed to be incredible in the hands of Ashley.

The absolute best!!

Ashley is hands down the planner you want on your side for your wedding day. From our initial meeting she was so kind and patient with my ever changing design decisions. She enhanced the vision I had for my wedding and designed an absolutely stunning event. She has an eye for design and is so unbelievably organized - nothing is too much for her to handle. Multiple people asked me for her information because the day not only flowed flawlessly but also looked and felt like a million dollar event. She didn’t skip a beat when I had her coordinate my zeffa group and belly dancer! The best decision you could make is to hire Ashley for your event!

In A League of Her Own

This is an unqualified and enthusiastic review of Festoons & Flourishes as the very best wedding/event planner in Michigan. Ashley and her team organized and executed the most breathtaking wedding imaginable for my son and daughter-in-law following one pandemic postponement from 2020. I had so many guests say they have never been to a wedding that was a more perfect combination of elegance and just crazy good fun. It was absolutely gorgeous (kudos to Detroit Design Co), and every detail was executed flawlessly. Ashley channeled the bride and groom’s desire for a guest focused wedding which ensured everyone had an absolutely wonderful time. It was a weekend destination event involving 4 different venues over a three-day period - in other words, so many moving parts that it was impossible for a mere mortal to track. Notwithstanding the complexity, it all went incredibly smoothly thanks to Ashley. She’s a true pro - positive, unflappable, persistent, and flexible. She has a great relationship with the best vendors in the State and pulled off more than her share of miracles for us over this past year. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Highly reccommended!

Ashley was amazing! Her team was always responsive and available to talk about the vision for our wedding. We only had a short amount of time during a pandemic, but they were able to accommodate us and we could not be happier with the service we received.

The best decision ever

Ashley is hands down the best event planner around. She planned my Bridal Soiree in just three weeks! An unconventional bridal shower, a seven-course dinner party with ALL the details was executed so excellently as if she’s done this type of event a million times over. A party that would have easily taken my family and I months to put together. She truly left me speechless day of my party, and most importantly made ME feel like a guest and not a host. She literally did it all and then some.

Ashley is a real pleasure to work with- A true professional who is respectful of your budget and is all about honesty. Her confidence, her brilliant & new ideas, her passion is truly showcased in her events from start to finish. I’m forever grateful to have found somebody who cares so much about the event as if it was her own. Ashley doesn’t just bring the event to life; she creates an experience that will last as a memory forever! I will continue to work with Ashley for any event - wedding, baby shower, birthdays, and anything in-between. Ashley is an event planner that turned into family after three short weeks, and that to me speaks volumes about somebody’s character. Take a chance with Festoons and Flourishes – I promise you will not regret a single thing along the way!
