Ashley and I have talked about this day for a long time. To see it come together and be able to trust that the day off set up could be handed off to her took a lot of stress and time off my shoulders. We walked into our venue and it was what we'd hoped it would be. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding Midwestern Bride!

So happy I had Ashley at my wedding

I hired Ashley a year and a half before my wedding, actually the week after my sister’s wedding when I saw her work first hand. She impressed me that much.
“Do I need a wedding planner?” a bride (or groom) may ask. Surely it is an added expense but the best way I can describe Ashley’s services is that she allows the bride and groom to feel like a guest at their own wedding. We had a meeting about a month before wedding when she went over EVERYTHING. She then followed up with all vendors to make sure everything was addressed and made a timeline (which is a lot harder than it seems). I had a lot of decorations planned and knew I was going to need someone to move them. A budgeting technique of mine was to reuse the ceremony decorations again in the ballroom. Ashley set up the ceremony and then moved it all to the ballroom. And not only was she spot on with decorations, she made sure the rest of the wedding went without problems. Once the wedding was over and guests were transitioning to cocktail hour, she was there asking us if we needed anything. She showed up during professional pictures outside of just the groom and I with waters (almost on que when photographer asked us if we had plenty of water during the day). She brought me appetizers and wine while my hair and make up got touched up. She came running into the ballroom to inform us of an unique photo opportunity (a rainbow). She was really there for EVERYTHING and I was almost stress free thanks to her and her team. Trust me brides (and grooms), her service is something that is worth it- I promise. Also, I commend her for her response to COVID and the postponement of our wedding. She allowed a change date without added charges or headache.

Unsung hero of our wedding

Reviews for day-of wedding planners tend to focus on the competency of the planner's ability to put together the big day. Ashley is to be commended on her work marshaling all the components of our wedding, and her work in this area alone would merit a 5-star review.

However, let me underscore the most valuable contribution Ashley provided us on our wedding day: preventing disaster. Inexplicably, we had several gigantic problems before and during the wedding - including a major traffic accident 20 minutes before the ceremony that blocked off the venue entrance. Ashley expertly handled everything and was able to conceal the
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We love working with Ashley at Midwestern Bride. This planner is probably the best around, she is so attentive to detail, puts the couples needs first, and treats all vendors as peers. Ashley and her entire staff are always easy to get a hold of and works as a team with everyone to make sure the day goes perfect.
