Services Offered
Sweetwater Events specializes in wedding planning and caters to those couples seeking timeless beauty, southern inspiration and a calming presence. They will assist you in planning and styling your wedding ceremony and reception for a variety of wedding types. Prior to your special day, Ashley will sit down with you and go over your layout, review current planning details, and write up timelines and to-do lists to ensure your wedding day will be seamless from beginning to end. Sweetwater Events provides month-of coordination, partial and full planning services.
I have been in the hospitality/event business for over 30 years and I am truly blown away by the level of professionalism, patience, and detail exhibited by Ashley and the Sweetwater team. As the father-of-the-bride and a stickler for perfection, I needed to find a wedding planner who could rise to the highest level of service while providing recommendations to ensure that every guest had an amazing time and would remember the wedding for a long time. Ashley and Sweetwater came highly recommended by many of my friends in the Nashville event industry and I could NOT agree with them more.
Due to Covid, we were forced to move the wedding date from May to July. Then 2 weeks before the wedding, we were forced to move the wedding venue location from Franklin to Spring Hill, due to unnecessary and unfortunate restrictions imposed by the venue. A week before the wedding, we had to find a new wedding cake baker due to the prior baker coming down with COVID. Ashley didn't blink when faced with these last-minute changes and immediately adjusted the plans to accommodate the new venue. Her flexibility and suggestions and feedback made for an absolutely amazing day!
I can honestly say that the wedding would not have been the memorable event it was without the professionalism and grace of Ashley and Sweetwater! I had several industry friends at the wedding that commented how flawless everything was, given all of the major last-minute changes.
I would absolutely recommend Sweetwater events to ANYONE planning an event! You will not find a better event planner in Tennessee! Thank you Ashley and Team for making our daughter's wedding a beautiful event.

It was a true pleasure to work with Ashley. She is calm, confident and connected.

Our daughter's wedding was everything we could have ever hoped for! Ashley was key to making that happen and I can't recommend her more highly.
