First Pick Planning

First Pick Planning, specifically Ashley Brantner, who was our day-of coordinator, was nothing short of a miracle worker! We had our wedding at Berkeley City Club, and Ashley went above and beyond in helping us navigate the venue & vendors, and made sure that all the details were executed to perfection. She made sure everything ran smoothly so that we did not have a single thing to worry about during the wedding, and were therefore able to fully enjoy ourselves. Her easy-going but reassuring manner is what sets her apart. We felt like she really cared about our wedding as much as we did, and that's something truly special. 100/10 would recommend!

We can not say enough good things about working with Ashley and First Pick Planning. We had Ashley has a our wedding planner, who helped us plan our everything from finding a venue, to booking our band, florist, deciding on decor, and photographers, while walking us through everything we need leading up to our wedding and during the day of. Ashley and First Pick made the process of planning very easy and help keep us on track with timelines and deadlines, while helping give us both vendors they have worked with as well as vendors they hadn’t worked with to give us options that we would be happy with. Having Ashley as our wedding planning was amazing and the best decision we made as she is very detailed oriented and was on top of coordinating everything with our venue and vendors leading up to and day of our wedding. Ashley was always willing to provide more options for us whether it was venues, florist, photographers or any other vendors and we couldn’t be more appreciative of her dedication and hard work. Again, we highly recommend choosing First Pick if you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner and would recommend you request Ashley as she helped make a year of planning and the day of our wedding go so smooth.

I really can't say enough great things about working with Ashley at First Pick. In a time when there are more weddings than ever, a pandemic, and a million other things going on – she made this process as easy and stress-free as possible. Not only did she go above and beyond with her communication and organization, I felt like she really took the time to "get" us as a couple and that was clearly reflected in the end result of our wedding. The big day went off without a hitch and we left feeling like everything went perfectly, not a single note. What a dream! Stop looking and just book Ashley already!
