Ashley is a life saver!

Ashley is amazing! We were so stressed out with wedding planning and thinking we couldn't afford a day of coordinator. However, when we met Ashley, we knew we needed her on our team. Her presence is calming and she is so knowledgeable. She knows the PNW wedding industry inside and out, is never pushy or judgmental of our decisions, respected our budget and aesthetic, is bubbly and warm -- we really could go on forever. Our parents and bridal party members loved her as well. She even got the little kids comfortable enough to walk down the aisle (we were worried they would have a meltdown). There are probably a hundred different ways that Ashley helped us before, during, and after the wedding. She is absolutely our favorite vendor!

Fantastic Wedding Planner!

Ashley was a fantastic leader for our wedding team! She was very accessible and responsive throughout the whole planning process, and provided great insight into the various vendor roles that needed to be filled. We ended up relying heavily on her recommendations for our wedding team, and they were all great. There’s really no substitute for the local knowledge and connections that Ashley brought to the table.

The day of our wedding, it was incredibly relaxing to have Ashley and her team there to guide the proceedings and take care of the logistics so that we didn’t have to. She ended up taking care of things we hadn’t even thought of.

If you’re looking for a highly competent wedding planner that will bring a positive attitude and a great sense of humor to the process, we strongly recommend Ashley.

Star Coordinator!

Working with Ashley was the best wedding related decision my wife and I could have made. Ashley was organized, easy to work with, professional and always available for questions or concerns. With her help, we were able to focus and enjoy our special day without having to focus on anything other than ourselves. I highly recommend her to couples who want to be stress-free on their wedding day!

Fun Wedding on a Budget

My husband and I believe in saving money and not being extravagant. Ashley helped plan an inexpensive wedding that surpassed our expectations! The decorations were country shabby sheek mixed with some Celtic traditions and 80’s flashbacks! It worked and was a hoot! She managed set up, bridesmaids and groomsmen, grumpy venue manager, angry bartender, drunken guests and take down. She even came back the next day and picked up left over food to a family member!! She was so thoughtful...we never knew all of the things/problems she handled until much later. She protected us from the stress, handling everything and letting us enjoy our bid day. She is the BEST! She is like the sister and best friend you wish you had!

Exceptional!

Ashley was instrumental in making my daughter and son-in-law's special day absolutely flawless and stress-free. I have recommended her to many of my friends as an essential part of the wedding planning -- couldn't have done it without her.

Ashley is a DREAM of a Human

Ashley's priority was whatever the couple wanted. For us, we didn't want to be bothered with logistics questions so she was the point-person on all things related to catering, timeline, and any questions from family/friends. Everyone who worked with her loved her and, in turn, got to enjoy the day about as much as us--even the caterers said it was the most relaxed, fun wedding they had been to! This is absolutely credited to Ashley's positive energy, problem-solving, and professionalism.

The perfect, personalized wedding! BEST DAY EVER.

Our wedding day was truly the best day ever, and without being overly dramatic, Ashley is the only reason it came together as beautifully as it did.

When we were first engaged, we were completely clueless - no idea about vision, budget, logistics, timeline, what to look for in a venue and what to not worry about. Ashley asked thoughtful questions throughout the process to help us create our perfect day. She provided different options and perspectives that we hadn't thought about and was a wealth of knowledge for dealing with all things wedding. She SO much fun to work with and it shows how much she enjoys being part of your day.

The amount of help she provided with decor, and pulling the entire vision together while keeping us realistic with our budget was incredible. There are so many pieces to think about when planning a wedding that it's overwhelming. Having someone who understands the process fully, is sympathetic to issues that arise and helps to jump in and take care of something with professionalism and a bubbly personality is PRICELESS.

Ashley, we can't thank you enough for our wedding. It was beautiful, fun, and completely personalized to us.

Great price for a great day of coordinator experience!

Ashley was a pleasure to work with! I used her for day of ceremony coordinator and she stepped up. For pricing, she is the best around. Most other places charges over $1000 for this service, however You Knot Me was much for reasonable. I work long hours and Ashley was flexible on meeting me whenever. She was honest about other vendors I picked out and how much everything should cost.

She was a dream on the day of my wedding. It definitely wouldn't have gone as smooth with out her. I didn't have to worry about a thing. She was professional and calmbthe whole day.

My only criticism is that it was hard to get a hold of Ashley sometimes. It would take up to a week for her to respond to a question via email and a few days via texts. The response time needs to be quicker or at least a message acknowledging the question and saying she will respond in a few days.

Overall, Ashley was great. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kick butt day or coordinator!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
