Next Event

We cannot say enough good things about Ashley and her team. We only hired her for partial services and honestly she went way above and beyond than what we contracted her for. She truly took the time to answer every question or stressful moment I had and she made me feel calm and excited entering my wedding day. I will never forget me feeling anxious about to walk down the aisle and she told me you look beautiful and you got this! It helped me relax and smile, I will never forget it! Thank you Ashley for everything you did to make our day a success and it truly was the best day of our lives!

We interviewed a lot of planners, but Ashley made us feel comfortable, calm and we connected right away. She really understood our vision and helped design the most beautiful rehearsal dinner and wedding! It truly took the stress away from us and we are so thankful that we found Next Event.

We planned our wedding from Chicago and we were looking for a planner that is established in the Monterey area. Ashley and her team are extremely thorough and kept us updated with all planning details. They are fresh with new ideas and on trend keeping us in budget. We felt so calm that everything was taken care of it was truly the best day of our lives. Don't hesitate to hire Ashley as your planner!

Ryan and I hired Ashley early on in the planning. We knew we wanted a planner and she was a perfect fit for us. We had just moved to the Monterey Bay area and her knowledge and relationship with other vendors was priceless. Our original wedding date was 6/20/2020 and because, ugh- covid) we had to reschedule. Twice! Ashley was a lifesaver. Each time she contacted all the vendors and venue and worked with everyone to find a date that would work. The day of her and team ran things like clockwork. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I just had to show up, ready to go. And it was perfect. Almost 2 years later Ashley had become someone Ryan and I consider a friend and its bittersweet to finally have had our wedding because we had to say goodbye to such an amazing person.

I honestly didn't think we even needed a coordinator. I am such an organized person and planning has always been a strong suit of mine. But I could not have been more wrong. Ashley was EXACTLY what we needed. We hired her as our day-of coordinator, but she was there for us long before the day of. Months before the wedding, she was calling our vendors, making sure each and every one of them was confirmed, and knew and adhered to the timeline she created. As for the day-of... it was beyond what I had even pictured in my mind. Best day of our lives, and it couldn't have been nearly what it was without her. A brides worst nightmare happened the morning of our wedding - suddenly we didn't have linens for our reception tables. Ashley called me from Bed, Bath, and Beyond and was literally shopping for linens for us on the morning of our wedding. If that doesn't explain how amazing she is, I don't know what does. Ashley - THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day the best day of our lives.

We got married at Holman Ranch and needed a hands on wedding planner to help us plan our wedding. Ashley designed our wedding and made it so easy for us. We shared all details through an online profile and emailed nonstop! She truly made me feel at ease and handled all the details like a pro. Seriously find the room in your budget for an amazing planner it is so worth it and necessary!

We booked a custom partial package for my wedding. I was so lost and had no idea where to start. Ashley is so calm and creative that I am so lucky to have found her! She is very professional and never made it seem like I was too needy and we talked weekly. Her communication is great and she made my day better that I expected.

My wedding day was a dream and seriously do not hesitate to book her! She books up quickly and we had to change our date due to COVID and were able to reserve her as our planner. Thanks again Ashley!!!

We got married in Big Sur and never planned a wedding before. We were torn between needing a planner/coordinator or not and boy are we glad that we found it in our budget! Ashley and her team went above and beyond for us. She does whatever it takes to make sure her couples are happy and stress free! We enjoyed working with her so much and were sad when our wedding was over. She made sure all the details were organized, everything was on schedule and helped lead us in the right direction. She is so calm and great at what she does! Thanks again Ashley for being our rock!

We hired Ashley and her team to coordinate our wedding day of. She went above and beyond and doesn't nickel and dime like most coordinators do. She started and finished past what was contracted and made sure our day went perfectly. She is very knowledgeable and I wish we hired her sooner to help more with our big day. Every detail was just as I imagined and she shielded us from any mishaps that came up on our day. You will not be disappointed, hire Next Event!

We cannot say enough about Ashley! She was hired as a month of/some partial planning event coordinator, but she went above and beyond! As we neared our big day and the stress was becoming too much, Ashley took the reigns to lead the way all while being available for anything throughout the planning process! She was extremely responsive, kind, organized, thoughtful and pulled so much weight behind the scenes that we were at ease and able to trust her to tie up any loose ends while we enjoyed the moments leading up to becoming husband and wife! I truly felt we were working with a friend along this journey to make our dream day become a reality and we could not have done it without Ashley 💗 She really advocated for us and what we wanted our big day to be, then delivered this seemingly effortless perfect day! Request Ashley for any of your planning needs; you wont be disappointed!
