Simply Smith Weddings

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Ashlyn and Layton Smith. If you are considering hiring them for your wedding, do it!

From the rehearsal through the very end of our wedding day, they were absolutely incredible. They helped with décor, setup and cleanup, communicated with all of our vendors, kept everyone on track, and somehow managed to make everything feel completely effortless. They were organized, flexible, responsive, patient, and always had great suggestions when we needed them.

What I appreciate most is how calm I was on our wedding day. I never once felt like I needed to worry about what was happening next, whether a vendor knew where to be, if something had been set up correctly, or if everything was running on time. I honestly couldn't tell you if anything went wrong that day—and if it did, Ashlyn and Layton handled it so seamlessly that I never knew about it. I was able to just enjoy our wedding and be completely present, and that is priceless.

They also work together flawlessly. You can tell they know exactly how to play off each other's strengths, and they have such a great way of keeping everyone organized and on track without ever making things feel stressful or chaotic. Our family and wedding party absolutely loved them too.

There wasn't just one moment when I thought, "I'm so glad they're here"—I felt that way the entire time. Knowing they were there meant I didn't have to think about anything other than enjoying one of the most important days of our lives.

Ashlyn and Layton went above and beyond for us, and I genuinely don't know what we would have done without them. They are amazing at what they do, incredibly easy to work with, and exactly the kind of people you want by your side on your wedding day. We would recommend them over and over again.

Ashley was so thoughtful and helpful throughout the whole process of planning, and she and Layton were superb on the day of the wedding! Would strongly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Ashlyn and Layton! From the moment they arrived, they were organized, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They made sure everything ran smoothly, kept us on schedule, and handled all of the little things behind the scenes so we could truly enjoy our special day.

Their communication, professionalism, and calming presence made such a difference. We never felt stressed about what was happening because we knew everything was in good hands. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we hoped it would be.

We are so grateful for everything they did and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated wedding coordinators!

Working with Ashlyn and Layton was so so great! We hired them for day-of-coordination for around 100 person wedding at the Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill, NC. They were amazing day-of and truly so helpful in the whole planning process, from trouble shooting our timeline, providing guidance for how we wanted the ceremony to go, and communicating with all of our vendors. They were responsive, kind, professional, and our wedding day was truly seamless because of them! The best part was how perceptive they were and stepped in to help with any problems that arose. Everything was so much less stressful because they were on top of things and our families enjoyed the day so much! Would hire them again in a heartbeat! (photos courtesy of indie bird photo)

I want to start this very positive review with… STOP LOOKING ELSEWHERE AND HIRE SIMPLY SMITH WEDDINGS FOR YOUR WEDDING PLANNING, COORDINATION, AND DAY OF NEEDS! I can only give the highest praise to Ashlyn and Layton for making my wedding a beautiful and stress-free day. I remember asking Ashlyn in Fall 2022 to help me plan and execute my May 2023 wedding as I noticed how thoughtful, thorough, and kind she was in everything she did. Layton is her right hand man and went above and beyond to ensure my wedding day sound/music was working. Ashlyn and Layton have also coordinated another wedding my husband and I attended recently and everything was executed perfectly. They continue to perform their services to the best of their abilities which not only makes them the best kind of support for an engaged couple looking to have a wonderful wedding day, but demonstrates that their quality of work continues to improve and will meet any couple’s wedding needs. Like a fine wine, their services and expertise get better and better over time. If you want to ensure a wedding day where both the bride and groom feel supported, then you MUST hire Simply Smith Weddings.

From day 1 working with Ashlyn I knew i would have no problem entrusting her with my wedding day. She is professional, detail oriented, she thought of things that never would have crossed my mind, and she is so easy/fun to work with. I like to have things under my own control, and she never gave me a reason to doubt her ability to turn my wedding wishes into reality. My wedding day was truly the best day of my life and my husband and I both attribute most of that to Ashlyn and Layton. She didn’t burden me with the fires she had to put out on my wedding day and she stayed calm, proactive, and just on it alllllll day. 10/10 will forever recommend.

Helped coordinate a 200 person wedding. Could not have been better. Few things happened and were taken care of immediately; also things we didn't even know about! Everything was perfect. Easy to work with and accommodated our requests or made suggestions and were discussed and done. Thanks again for all you did!

I got married October 12, 2024 and decided around July I needed someone to help with the wedding timeline. Simply Smith was on top of communication for the months ahead over the timeline, the parents precessional, the bridal party, the decor, everything. They attended the rehearsal and guided everyone on their part. We even had a last minute change we wanted with the officiant and they communicated to make sure it was how we needed. On the day of Layton and Ashlyn helped tremendously! They helped decorate and set everything up exactly how I wanted it. I even had a couple things I was unaware needed to be assembled and they were quick to make sure it got assembled. This duo worked phenomenal and went above and beyond my expectations for wedding day!
