Simply fantastic
If you are looking for a wedding planner who is well-organized, an excellent communicator, and truly cares about making your special day everything you dream of and more, then look no further than Altar Ego. We recently had the pleasure of working with Jen for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
From the very first consultation, Jen took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for our big day. She was attentive, responsive, and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Throughout the planning process, she was extremely organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that no stone was left unturned and that everything was running smoothly.
What really stood out to us, however, was Jen's communication skills. She was always clear and concise in her instructions and kept us up-to-date on every aspect of the planning process. She also took the time to listen to our ideas and concerns and provided valuable feedback and advice, making us feel confident and at ease every step of the way.
On the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. Jen and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran like clockwork, leaving us free to enjoy the day with our loved ones. The attention to detail was impeccable, and every little touch was just as we had imagined it. We got such incredible feedback from our guests about just how seamless the entire weekend felt.
In short, Jen is an exceptional wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you are looking for someone who is organized, communicative, and passionate about making your wedding day the best it can be, then we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Jen, for making our wedding day the happiest day of our lives!Altar Ego Weddings's reply:

Organized, attentive and wonderful
As the mother of the bride, I could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Jen and her team. From the very beginning, the planning was incredibly organized, attentive, and truly committed to bringing the couple’s vision to life. She listened closely, offered insightful ideas, and executed every detail flawlessly. She immediately connected with me and my daughter, asking personal questions about how the couple met and what ultimately was important to the bride to be!
Jen’s professionalism and genuine care made the entire journey smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free for all of us. The wedding day itself was seamless and absolutely beautiful — everything we hoped for and more. If there was a major problem we never knew about it.
I would overwhelmingly recommend this Altar Ego to anyone looking for a planner who delivers exceptional service, creativity, and heartfelt dedication. They made an unforgettable day even more magical. Thank you Jen for making our wedding dreams come true!-

Jen is a cheat code to weddings!
Our wedding experience wouldn't have been as wonderful without Jen. She came recommended by a friend. We opted for the month of package. Don't let the title fool you as she helped us way beyond that! She knows her market and has a positive reputation in the business. It was reassuring when reaching out to other vendors and sharing Jen was our coordinator, the resounding response was 'Oh I've worked with Jen. She's great!' She had worked weddings at our venue as well so it was helpful to have insider knowledge.
I loved her organization and spreadsheets. It was a lot but they really helped her get inside your brain of what you were envisioning so she could take care of anything that came up. You could tell she cared by her attention to detail. She kept us on track and I truly did not have a worry day of. And if there was a worry, I didn't know about it because Jen took care of it. I was confident in her skills and appreciated her guidance.
We are so fortunate to have had the best coordinator. Thank you Jen!Altar Ego Weddings's reply:

You will NOT Regret This!
If you want to be stress-free on your wedding day - or throughout the entire experience then Jennifer is absolutely your girl! She and I went through some... difficulties with our original vendor team, and before I even had a chance to stress she was presenting me with backup options, reaching out on behalf of my event and ensuring we had the best vendor team possible at every moment. Her planning website is full of incredible resources for you to manage all the moving pieces of planning a wedding, and she is extremely responsive for any questions or concerns at any time! I was able to be completely stress & (mostly) decision free all week leading up to my wedding, because I knew that Jennifer and the team had everything under control. If you are looking for someone to be honest, on top of it and ensure your event goes off exactly as planned - please consider Altar Ego Weddings and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Jennifer for everything - we could not have done it without you!! -

Jennifer is YOUR gal!
From our very first interaction with Jennifer at the Ma Maison open house to our final send-off on our wedding night, she was nothing short of exceptional. Professional, personable, and incredibly dedicated, Jennifer went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
Although we hired Jennifer for month-of and day-of coordination, she was an invaluable resource throughout the entire planning process. She was always responsive, transparent, and willing to help with vendor communications, timeline organization, and every little detail. On the big day, she ensured all of our vendors were on time, fully prepared, and knew the flow of events, allowing us to be completely stress-free. She even navigated our unique family dynamics with grace and understanding, making potentially tricky moments seamless and comfortable.
Jennifer’s energy and enthusiasm brought such a fun, positive presence to our reception—my bridesmaids adored her just as much as I did! She and her team made sure everything ran smoothly, and we are beyond grateful for their support.
If you’re looking for top-tier, class-A service, Alter Ego Weddings is the planning team you want by your side. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our day absolutely perfect!

You won’t regret your choice!
Finding the right planner for your wedding can feel overwhelming—it truly can make or break your big day. Well, let me tell you, we hit the jackpot with Jennifer Ashford from Altar Ego Weddings! From our first meeting, we knew she was the rockstar we needed to bring our vision to life.
Jennifer was incredibly conscientious of both our needs and our budget, making magic happen every step of the way. She worked seamlessly with Memory Lane's owner, Bobby, to ensure our day was absolutely stunning and everything I had dreamed of. There wasn’t a single question or crazy idea she couldn’t handle—she made us feel so heard and special throughout the entire process.
Her organization and calm-yet-commanding presence on the day of were unmatched. She struck the perfect balance of chill and focused, making sure every detail was executed exactly as we envisioned. I was even able to fully relax the day of (which is not easy for me—I’m usually pretty anxious!) because I knew she had everything under control.
Jennifer’s day-of assistant was also phenomenal—so sweet and helpful the entire night. Together, they made our wedding day run like a dream, and I genuinely felt no stress, just pure joy.
If you want your wedding to be magical, stress-free, and expertly executed, I cannot recommend Altar Ego Weddings enough. Jennifer is simply the best, and we’re so grateful for her and her incredible team! -

10/10 Recommend!
I cannot recommend Jenn at Altar Ego Weddings enough! From the start, her experience and knowledge were clear. She has the best contacts in the business, and she helped me build an incredible vendor team for my wedding. While I wasn’t someone who dreamed of my wedding since childhood, I did have a vision, and Jenn brought it to life while ensuring we were good stewards of our budget.
Jenn was a pro at handling tough conversations with vendors, providing clear feedback when needed, and reviewing contracts to ensure everything was in our best interest. Her negotiating skills helped us secure great deals, and she kept me organized with payment deadlines, form requests, and every other detail I would have overlooked.
The planning process had its stressful moments, but Jenn was my biggest supporter and advocate, always reminding me to focus on the bigger picture—marrying my husband. In the end, she wasn’t just a planner but a true friend and accountability partner throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Jenn was organized, calm, and collected, which helped immensely when I was feeling scattered and stressed. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better planner! -

Best Decision Ever!
Working with Jen was the best decision we made! Even from my first phone call with Jen, I could tell how professional, experienced, and passionate she was about what she does. She was super receptive to our vision for the wedding and made everything go beyond anything we could have ever wished for! Even though we were planning our wedding from out-of-state, Jen made the process so seamless and stress-free. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Jen was able to pivot the entire wedding day less than 24 hours before it began - and you never would have guessed it was plan B because of how intentional and beautifully everything came together. It was the happiest day of our lives and I know that we have Jen to thank for that!Altar Ego Weddings's reply:
What a beautiful review to read! Thank you for sharing this and for letting me plan your wedding. It was a joy to have your trust in executing your vision. I wish you and Lucas many years or happiness! -

Your wedding planner/coordinator search stops here! :)
It is hard to put into words how important it is to choose the correct wedding planner/coordinator. The minute we got off the phone with Jen, we knew she was our type of person. Jen communicates clearly, is heavily organized/detailed, and honors FUN. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having the resources she provides and the open line of communication made my entire process run so smoothly. At the end of the day, your wedding is going to be the biggest party you ever throw and it is 100% worth the investment in Jen to help you take some of the load off and ENJOY the process.Altar Ego Weddings's reply:
I'm so glad to read this! Sarah, you made my day. It was such an honor to serve as your wedding coordinator. You were a wonderful client and I wish you and Pat a long and happy marriage! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your wedding. -

Love Altar Ego Weddings
I do not have enough kind words! Exceptional planner - she listens (#1 in my book), she's not afraid to step away from the 'traditional' or 'norm' ideas and/or update them to match the bride and groom (not my wedding, but you have to see the Jurassic Park theme she pulled off - brilliant). I absolutely loved working with her! -

You need jen!
Jen is the best, simply put. Her services are cost effective and her efforts are beyond what I had ever hoped for. She thought of things that I would have completely forgotten, she went the extra mile to fix a decor issue two weeks before my wedding, and she never made me feel needy or stressed. Jen anticipates the needs of her couples and excels at helping create the best wedding weekend possible. Thank you, Jen we are truly and forever grateful! With love and Steely Dan, M + C. -

The Best Wedding Coordinator Ever
We booked Jennifer as our Day of coordinator and she was amazing!! I cannot recommend her enough for all your wedding planning and/or coordination needs. In hindsight we probably should have done full service because our wedding day went off without a hitch! Everything was handled professionally and efficiently! As part of her coordination services she allowed us to email her questions and she reviewed contracts for guidance and that was invaluable. Her wedding portal checklists also helped me stay organized throughout the year I was wedding planning. Seriously hire Jen! She is THE BEST. You won’t regret it. -

The Perfect Wedding Planner for Us
My daughter’s wedding was just last weekend and the whole experience working with Jennifer from start to finish was fantastic! We chose the Guide package for month-of planning and coordination as well as a design option. Throughout the process, Jennifer answered all of our questions promptly and in a straight-forward manner, which my daughter and I appreciated very much. Her help with fine-tuning the design helped get us over the initial moments of indecision. The month before the wedding, Jennifer takes complete control and checks every tiny detail of every contract, talks to every vendor multiple times and produces a timeline document that everyone can follow down to the minute on wedding day including diagrams of where each member of the wedding party stands and where family will be seated. There was really nothing for us to do the week before the wedding except pack things that we were bringing. The whole day was organized and actually effortless on our part. We were all able to enjoy the day without stress. The only glitch that occurred was a transportation issue due to traffic and Jennifer handled it directly with the company and kept us updated. I truly believe that Jennifer Ashford is the ultimate professional in the wedding planning business and offers services well worth the cost no matter which plan you choose! -

Working with Jen was the best investment we made in our wedding budget. She was thorough, knowledgeable, organized and responsive throughout the entire process.

Fantastic Experience, a True Professional - Go with Jen!
We worked with Jen to plan our wedding in September 2022, and picking her as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. We purchased a “guide” package, and I think we certainly got our money’s worth of help from her (and then some). I can’t comment on how Jen compares to other wedding planners in Austin (since I only plan on getting married once!). But I can comment on how phenomenal it was to work with Jen, and how I have a hard time thinking someone else could do it better than her.
For my wife and me, the two most important traits we wanted in our wedding planner were effective communication, and an enjoyable personality to work with on wedding day. When we first interviewed with Jen, we quickly knew that Jen would easily check both those boxes. She wonderfully blends a joyful, friendly personality with diligence and professionalism. Sure, other planners were less expensive, but even after our initial consultation we knew that we were getting a fantastic planner with her, well worth the price.
Right off the bat, I was impressed with Jen’s organizational skills. She provides her clients with a virtual toolbox of documents/slides which have every little detail of the wedding laid out. She included helpful timelines, organized structure to manage your contracts, advice on rehearsal dinner locations, and much more. You get this level of professionalism with Jen, since she’s been in the industry for so long. And if you’re like me, you will have thousands of questions throughout the planning process - Jen answered them all, always in a timely manner. Since we purchased the “guide” package we didn’t get much direct planning from Jen before our wedding week (we had her handle the transportation, which she did wonderfully), but all the advice/responses to our questions were incredibly useful.
Her experience in wedding planning made the biggest difference on our actual wedding day. For her and her team, managing a wedding is just another day - and that’s important! Because you don’t want your wedding planner to be stressed at all, because then you’ll be stressed. And with Jen, she and her team have the experience and confidence to seamlessly manage your wedding day, so you don’t end up worrying about a thing. And at the end of the day, that’s why you get a wedding planner - so that you don’t have to sweat the details, and can instead focus on your special day with your spouse, together. That’s what we got with Jen, and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding day turned out.
Here’s some of the ways she went above and beyond for us:
1. Maintained excellent communication throughout all our planning (including while she was moving & had COVID!)
2. Dealt with our transportation company running over the church’s mailbox (oops!)
3. Patiently helped us decide whether we should move our wedding date due to COVID
Ultimately, if you want a compassionate, knowledgable, professional and fun wedding planner in Austin, you go with Jen. And who doesn’t want that? -

Jennifer saved the day!
Jennifer was a huge help, and was always ready to be real and up front with the implications of any wild ideas I had. When I struggled to articulate what I wanted, she knew all the right questions to ask to get me there, and when a random emergency struck on wedding day, she went above and beyond to handle the problem without stressing me out. -

The Best Planner in the Business!! World Class Planner!!
Wow wow wow where do I even begin to start with this review. Jennifer Ashford is a WORLD CLASS INCREDIBLE wedding planner. We hired her for her full service wedding package as we were planning the Austin wedding from out of state, and so beyond glad we did. I planned my wedding with her for over 18 months. I’m a very “type A bride” who loves to try new things and she executed everything at our wedding with excellence and answered my thousands of emails over the course of almost 2 years, which was absolutely amazing. We planned a larger wedding ~200 guests, mostly out of town guests, at Addison Grove and knew nothing about planning a wedding nor planning a wedding in Austin. We learned so much from Jen! And it was such a fun process to work with her! Our wedding had all the “things”- Photographer, Videographer, Content Creator, String Band, DJ, Catering, Bar, Photobooth, Desserts, Florist, Beer Donkey’s, Fireworks, Getaway Cars, Charter Buses, Full Glam team, Rentals, And more- and Jen managed each and every vendor with excellence, taking us along for the journey throughout the whole process. I really don’t know how she does it all on top of having younger kids but she is really the best in the business. Jen is one of those planners who always will support your goals and dreams you desire for your wedding, while maintaining what’s realistic and execution-able. She tells you the “really really” and makes sure you make smart and educated decisions for your wedding day. Jen not only was able to deal with my “type A bride” many asks, but also balanced our demanding parents asks in parallel and made sure we as the couple’s voice was represented. She was always on top of her email and communication clarity, speed, and actionability was superb. Her wedding network within Austin is also outstanding- far better than most planners. She’s highly connected with all the vendors and her years of wedding planning experience show in her work- and she will make sure your day is perfect with the perfect vendors for your specific needs. Every single vendor we worked with, as recommended by her, was incredible. She also was always open to trying new things and new ideas for the wedding that were different than the average wedding and was willing to be creative and flexible with the vendors to make our dreams happen! And trust me we had a lot of out of the box ideas we learned from social media that stretched vendors to think differently! Above all else she was a joy to work with! She’s a wonderful person, has a good sense of humor, and is so kind and caring. I felt like she was such a good friend by the end of the process. I’m going to miss working with her, and hope you hire her so you can enjoy this wedding process as much as I did. Thank you Jen for everything you did for us! Our wedding was the most wonderful day of our lives, with everything we could have ever dreamed of!! The wedding was executed flawlessly and we had the time of our lives. We will never forget all you did for us!! And will miss you so much!!
Highly highly recommend Jen for your wedding planning needs, our INCREDIBLE wedding day would not have been possible without her. She’s the best in the business!!-

Jennifer is simply the best!
My husband and I got married in August at The Addison Grove, we had the most amazing team. Jen from start to finish was genuinely devoted to doing whatever she could to make our wedding day as seamless and the way we envisioned. With a very A-type personality, surprisingly Jen was always one step ahead of me and made sure to have everything ready for a stress-free wedding week/weekend and especailly the day. She is a GEM, an encourager, friend, and the biggest blessing preparing for our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jen. From the bottom of our hearts, we dont know what we would do without her help and support throughout that time. Run fast and book her, you will not regret it one ounce.-

An incredible experience
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. Her planning tools were incredibly useful, she was extremely thorough and did everything in her power to make sure I didn't have to stress during my wedding day. As soon as she stepped in as my month of coordinator I felt all my stress go away and knew everything was in great hands. The entire day was so seamless and resulted in us having such a fun night. Jennifer, thank you so much and to anyone looking for a planner - this is a no brainer.Altar Ego Weddings's reply:

Dream come true
Jennifer provided month of service for my daughter's wedding and she was a joy to work with. She listened to all of our ideas and on the day of, set everything up for us. She worked well with our vendors and kept everything running so smoothly that I was able to spend quality time with my daughter vs setting things up and worrying about what might go wrong. The day was perfect. The bride and groom had a blast and we have beautiful pictures to remember every minute. Jennifer and her team were key to making it all perfect. She is worth every penny. -

Stress-free month before our wedding!
Jen with Altar Ego was such a blessing the month before our wedding. We selected all our vendors on our own and signed up for only the month before and day off service. Let me just say the attention to detail was amazing. We eventually added the design service and so glad we did as the reception was everything we imagined and more. We also had the reception cocktail hour entertainment have to pull out last minute and Jen hooked us up with a great quartet, and she helped me find a wedding cake only 3 weeks before the wedding. I can truly say I enjoyed my entire wedding day and had absolutely no stress what-so-ever (besides my Latin family being on time to the service ;)... IYKYK).-

Bride and Groom
Jennifer was amazing! She knew and had great relationships with a lot of different vendors which made choosing everything super easy. We had our wedding in Austin but live in Houston, she was great at ensuring to schedule appointments around our schedule. Jen was flexible and responsive to emails throughout the entire planning process. The day of the wedding she ensured that everything was running smoothly and on time. My husband and I felt the planning process was stress-free and could not have done it without Jen. We owe Jen so much gratitude for giving us a great wedding planning experience and an amazing wedding day. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner.Altar Ego Weddings's reply:
Thanks so much, Lexi! I loved helping y’all have the wedding of your dreams with no stress. I wish y’all the most wonderful marriage! -

Best wedding planner!
Jennifer was our wedding planner from the very beginning and we could not have done any of it without her! She took so much stress off of our plate and was so professional! When I changed my mind or wanted something added, she was on top of it. When I emailed her, she emailed me right back. I cannot say enough good things!!! After my wedding, I had SO MANY people come up to me describing how every detail was flawless, with several asking who our planner was! I would 10000% recommend Jennifer and Altar Ego Weddings to anyone!!! -

It’s no surprised Altar Ego Weddings in the best!
Jennifer really went above and beyond planning my wedding. She handled every detail and made sure wedding day went without a snag! I told her my vision for my wedding and she she made it all happen; the colors, the vendors, the vibe! All I had to do was say “yes or no,” “this one not that one.” She made it so easy for me! I literally could not have asked for a better wedding-planning experience; I owe so much of my gratitude to Jennifer and the vendors she helped me select! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have the wedding of their dreams!!! Thanks again Jen!!! Xoxo-

Absolutely amazing!
Highly recommended Jennifer! Jennifer did an amazing job decorating my surprise proposal in Austin, Texas! She was able to make everyone look amazing after raining. She communicated very well with my Fiancé to ensure his vision for the perfect proposal came to life. She provided a “She Said Yes” banner and bouquet of my favorite flowers!

a fairy tale dream turned into a proposal
Planning an engagement with Jen was seamless. Jen remained an effective and proactive communicator all while remaining patient and encouraging. She took a small idea and formulated it into a creative masterpiece. She pays careful mind to the budget and is eager to please. Coming from out of town, Jen provided excellent recommendations and assistance with outside vendors. I cannot imagine planning such an important day with anyone else. Thank you Jen—truly a pleasure. -

Easiest decision ever - hire Jen and team!
Jen is wonderful and far exceeded our expectations! Given there was so much uncertainty surrounding COVID, in addition to our venue not cooperating all the time, there was nothing Jen hadn't already thought of or asked about to clarify how it would be handled. Even when she was back to back with weddings, she always made us feel like everything was under control and ensured us things would come together -- which they did perfectly! As the bride, I was able to feel free of any stress on the day of the wedding to focus on what was most important knowing Jen had it handled. Spend the $$ on a planner. -

Amazing Experience!
Shannon from Altar Ego is AMAZING! I can't even count how many times Shannon calmed me, saved me, and took care of things during our postponed COVID wedding. She literally took care of everything. I was stressed a lot of the time and she helped me so much. I would have been lost planning my wedding without her! Shannon is absolutely amazing, calm under pressure, organized, responsive, kind, and just fabulous. We love her! She even calmed me down on a Friday via text when I was worried about COVID precautions! If you need a wedding planner, I highly recommend Shannon. She is the best!!!! Thank you, Shannon! -

Shannon at Altar Ego was AMAZING!
Shannon at Alter Ego ushered us through the whole Covid bride process with kindness, compassion, and expertise. She was absolutely invaluable to our wedding’s success. She answered every email promptly, no matter how anxious or repetitive, and helped us understand the vision. She wrote a detailed itinerary of the day with NO detail forgotten, but helped us through the entire planning process. She really made the experience flow. We had so much fun at the wedding and reception because Shannon took care of every detail. The event was unforgettable, thanks to Shannon of Altar Ego. As a new mother of the bride, my biggest piece of advice is: hire a wedding planner like Shannon! I was able to enjoy the entire wedding weekend and actually spend time with the people I love most.-

A Stress-free wedding? Possible if you work with Altar Ego Weddings!!
Altar Ego Weddings absolutely was the key to my stress-free wedding! Jen is amazing, so kind and fun and makes the whole process easy. I truly enjoyed every second of my wedding day, and so much of it was because I didn't have to worry about anything! Jen made sure vendors were coordinated, everything was set-up perfectly, guests had all their questions answered, just flawless. Thank you Altar Ego Weddings for taking such good care of me, my family, and my friends. Can't recommend y'all enough!! -

Amazing Experience During Weird Times
We hired Jen in December 2019 and started full steam ahead with wedding planning for our November 2020 wedding. Obviously in March, we had to take a step and figure out what to do next. Luckily, Jen was with us every step of the way from figuring out venue limits and coordinating with our vendor team throughout the process. From her experience with weddings from July on, we were able to have an incredibly safe and fun wedding. We had our wedding on the original date in November, and it is definitely thanks to Jen. Everything ran smoothly, and I got to enjoy my wedding fully. It was the most beautiful, perfect day, and we are so grateful to have had Jen as our wedding planner. She is worth every penny and more.
Jen was very responsive in answering questions and providing materials. We always knew what we needed to get done with her awesome ToDo list using one of the many online tools she provided us. Jen listened to what we wanted and worked to make it happen. Hire Jen and Altar Ego, best wedding decision we made.Altar Ego Weddings's reply:
Thank you for all your kind words, Courtney! I am so passionate about doing exactly what you described I did. No stress, support you and make sure you get to enjoy your day. -

Incredible service
The Altar Ego team was phenomenal. I worked with Shannon from February 2019 until September 2020 (postponed our original wedding date in April 2020) and she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire process. She coordinated all of our vendors seamlessly. I had multiple phone calls, endless emails threads, and a zoom call to ease my mind during the planning process. I couldn't have done it without Shannon. Jen Krause filled in for Shannon on my actual wedding day and she was an absolute dream to work with. She didn't miss a beat when it came to organizing our vendors, setting up, and breaking down/collecting our items at the end of the night. She coordinated all of our vendors on the day-of and allowed us to be completely hands off and enjoy the day. I didn't have to worry about A THING on my wedding night. I would highly, highly recommend the Altar Ego team. Thank you guys again!-

BEST wedding coordinator!!
Jennifer is AMAZING!!! We hired Jennifer before we even had a wedding venue! I think most people hire a wedding coordinator after they have a date and venue but we loved her so much that we hired her first. She went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. She really focused on myself and my husband to make sure we were happy. She took all my wedding worry away and allowed us to be in the moment on our wedding day which is extremely important. Not only did she make our wedding day run smoothly but she also answered all my pre-wedding questions and I had a lot of questions. We will forever be grateful that Jennifer made our day so special.

Couldn’t have done it without Jen! She was professional and super helpful. I appreciated her thoughtfulness throughout the planning process and she worked with our budget from the beginning.
The day of the wedding went super smoothly because she was working behind the scenes and doing everything I could not have managed without her!! Thanks Jen! -

Perfect and we love her
We booked Jen in the fall for our summer wedding. We got the unlimited email plan with month of and day of service. She was worth every penny. She gave great advice, was timely in her responses, took a phone call or 2 from my Dad (who needed to talk things out), and took so many fears and concerns off my plate. The vendors and she worked together so seamlessly, it was like I had booked them all from one fairy godmother. She's a leader in her field and well respected, which was super obvious in her leadership and professionalism. My rehearsal was quick and painless, her plans were executed and thoughtful. I loved that she told everyone to go to her with question, not me. Whew! She listened to all of my needs and made them happen. She made changes along the way and was flexible with details that changed and then changed again. I felt supported and cared for. My wedding day was perfect, thanks to Jen's attention to all of the details. I would hire her again tomorrow, she is helpful, kind, efficient, calm (yessss, I needed and used her calm energy), and professional. Her assistant, Shannon, was poised and helpful as well. I didn't have to do anything hard that night, it was magical. I posted a picture of her making me laugh right before the ceremony plus my sweet husband and our drink donkeys!Altar Ego Weddings's reply:
We are honored to have been a part of your wedding day, Michelle. We wish you all the happiness in the world. -

Hire Jen--Seriously She's the Best
I could not have asked for a better wedding planning experience than I had with Jen and Altar Ego Weddings. Jen was always accessible for my questions and responded quickly, and she had thoughtful suggestions for each step of planning! She is also well connected and respected in the wedding community--I used her referrals for the cake and the flowers and, in addition to receiving excellent service with everyone, they all told me that I had found a great wedding planner with Jen.
Then on my wedding day, Jen was an invaluable resource. I felt like we had a million balls in the air, but I didn't have to do anything! Jen was several steps ahead, communicating with all of the vendors and support staff to make sure the day went off without any issues!! Jen managed set up, tear down, and everything so I could sit back and enjoy the day! It was such a huge relief to know that all of the details were being handled by someone much more capable than myself.
And on top of all of that, she's so easy to talk to and a very fun person to work with! I'll be recommending Jen to literally anyone who asks--she's the best!

Would recommend to ANY Austin couple!!
Jennifer Ashford and her company, Altar Ego Weddings, played a HUGE part in why our wedding day was so special. Throughout the entire planning process Jen was available via email to answer any questions and give us guidance. We were planning the wedding long distance over about a year and a half. Along the way we met Jen on a couple trips home and she was always an email or call away, which was so reassuring. My husband and I are both big planners for life in general, so we very much appreciated Jen's attention to detail, promptness, reassurance, and overall organization. It was all of this that allowed us to completely trust her leading up to and on the wedding day. We knew we were in good hands all day and that things would go according to plan with her at the helm. It was so comforting for us and our families to just enjoy the wedding day and not have to worry about logistics. Our parents were in awe of how smoothly everything ran, and we had the most special time with our friends and families. Thank you for everything Jen!! Please, do yourself a favor, and put yourself in her hands for your big day! :)Altar Ego Weddings's reply:

Amazing wedding planner to work with!
100% would recommend!! We can not thank Jen Krause and Altar Ego Weddings for an absolutely perfect day! Jen helped plan and execute our recent wedding and was amazing to work with - I had narrowed down a venue that I liked and caterer that I was interested in hiring, but she made it and all of the rest of the details happen! My venue hadn't hosted a wedding reception before, so Jen was a godsend figuring out the logistics, orders, timing, and vendors. She was so helpful in narrowing down so may Pinterest-options into things that made sense with our space, season, and overall feel for the wedding and reception. The area experienced catastrophic flooding the week before our wedding and Jen managed our rain plan 2.0 with such ease - I didn't think about a single thing that day other than marrying my husband and enjoying all of our family and friends celebrating with us. For that and such a pleasant and stress-free planning experience, I would absolutely recommend Jen Krause and Altar Ego Weddings!Altar Ego Weddings's reply:

Wedding of your Dreams kind of Wonderful!
My husband and I had such a good experience with Altar Ego! Truly the best wedding ever--in no small part thanks to Altar Ego's amazing planning skills! We had the privilege of working with Jen Ashford--who was super organized, punctual, and kept us on-top of all of our to-do list items starting about 9 months ahead of our wedding. I loved how Jen Ashford was willing to adapt her system and priorities to fit with what worked for us and what was most important to us. Jen incorporated what we called the "weekly huddle email" where she would check in on our progress from the previous week and remind us of upcoming to-dos for that week. It worked wonderfully for us! I also loved how Jen incorporated good humor and a good attitude with all our communications--she was also excellent at being diplomatic when tensions and stress were high between family members. And! Without missing a beat, she gave a very educated and thorough explanation to my MBA-holding, Business-minded father, as to why weddings tend to be much more expensive than other events--*note* it is not completely what you think it is--remember that you're paying for a higher caliber/ better trained personnel and vendors when you are talking about your wedding, also if you are paying for a plated dinner, you're asking that all the food be ready at essentially the same time--things like these wedding details add up! Jen can explain better than I am, but it satisfied my business-minded dad. (Thanks, Jen!!). I also appreciated that Jen had so many great vendors to recommend to us--she is a leader in her field and has many many years of experience and networking under her belt in a very competitive field. I don't know what we would've done without her guidance and recommendations--it is so easy when you're on your own to get bogged down just in trying to select one vendor. And we all know there can be MANY vendors to hire for a wedding. Additionally, I so appreciated Jen's openness to learning and working with our request for a wedding ceremony that was very reverent and religious (and which had quite a few logistical details to work out). The vendors that I selected (especially ones that Jen had never worked with before), all said that Jen was amazing and a pleasure to work with! Finally, Jen is able to calmly roll with any unforseen glitches in weather etc--since our wedding was outside, we had arranged a rain plan, but had decided to go ahead and get married outside. The morning of our wedding it was pouring rain and Jen very calmly helped my family and my husband to make the decision to continue moving forward with the plan to keep the wedding outside. The weather was amazing during our ceremony--only a couple drops of rain and perfect temperature. We are so grateful that Jen led us through and had umbrellas etc ready to go, if the rain had persisted. I also want to give a shout out to Jen for sending us to her in-house graphic designer, Jen Krause! Jen Krause is not only an amazing event planner too, but she created an entirely custom style guide and suite of wedding invitations (with beautiful hand-calligraphy), place cards (also done by hand!), thank you cards, custom return address stamps and day-of signeage that was gorgeous and stylistically pulled everything together in an amazing way! We are so grateful! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! The best day of our lives! -

I wasn’t sure that I wanted a Wedding Planner, but I decided to meet with a few anyway. My mind completely changed when I met Jennifer Ashford. We clicked instantly, and I knew that I wanted to work with her! Jennifer is well connected in the industry and was more than happy to give recommendations, connect me with vendors and answer all my questions (I had at least one a day!). I also had the unique experience of tagging along with Jennifer to work one of her weddings. From behind the scenes, she completely rocks at what she does. She took care of things before anyone knew they needed to be taken care of and made sure that everything ran smoothly the whole night. This was the experience for our wedding day, too! Jennifer is a complete joy to work with. Thank you times a million for everything!

I couldn't have met with Jennifer at a more perfect time than I did. She absolutely delivered and then some and I could have not done it without her and the rest of the team, Jennifer Krause!! Jen answered all our questions and knew exactly what I was feeling or wanting when meeting with specific vendors. I felt very comfortable explaining my vision for the wedding and she completely knocked it out of the water, I couldn't be happier about how it all turned out! Having The Jennifer's for the entire wedding process was by far the best decision I ever made! Jennifer Krause, was also absolutely wonderful to work with on the calligraphy for the table placements and invitation details. She was very thorough and quick to respond with any changes that were made. They made wedding planning enjoyable, stress free, and breathtaking memories!! -

Where do I begin?! I would not have made it through wedding planning without Jen. Starting from Day 1 with the consultation, Jen was open to hearing what I thought I needed help with - and suggested a hybrid package between full-time wedding planning and month-of coordination. Throughout the few months leading up to the wedding, we would have periodic meetings and phone calls - she would sense when I was getting stressed out about something and would offer to handle those items for me! She had great suggestions for vendors - I used all vendors she recommended and was not disappointed in any of them. She was always available to chat even just for me to vent or bounce ideas off of her - she kept me from losing my mind with all of the details and reassured me everything would be great! And it was!!! On the day of the wedding, I honestly did not worry at all and everything went perfectly - she knew every detail and executed the whole day exactly how I wanted. I had so many people come up to me during the reception saying they had never seen a wedding day go smoothly - and it was all thanks to Jen! This was the best money we spent on our wedding and we are so grateful for everything Jen did for us - thank you! -

Jen was extremely responsive from day one. She was the first vendor I hired and had nothing but great recommendations and advice throughout our wedding planning process. Though we only contracted Jen for day of services, we got so much more than expected. She recommended vendors, reviewed contracts, answered any questions I had, and was very organized when it came down to the last few weeks before the wedding. On the day of our wedding, I was completely stress free and did not worry about a single detail. Jen had everything covered and made sure my husband and I had a wonderful evening. Our family was blown away by Jen's attention to detail, professionalism, and what all she handled on the day of. We cannot thank Jen enough for allowing us to have the most amazing time at our wedding! -

We are so happy we hired Jennifer for our special day. She made the planning process and the wedding weekend so much easier on us. Jennifer was extremely responsive, organized, and professional. She helped with setting up vendors and making sure they were on time and delivered what was needed. Jennifer and her assistant were so helpful on the wedding day that everything seemed almost perfect to my husband and I! I would 100% refer Jennifer and Altar Ego Weddings to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator. -

Heidi is the best! I can't thank her enough for coordinating our wedding and help us build such a great memory for everybody. When I started planning the wedding, I didn't want to have a wedding planner and just wanted to DIY everything to save money. But my venue required a wedding planner and I'm so glad I found Heidi! She's one of the four wedding planners I interviewed and her professionalism, enthusiasm, and flexibility on the timeline immediately made me feel she's the one! I had a special situation that I had to finish most of the planning two months before the wedding day. Heidi was really supportive and helped me make this process much easier. I am a pro of procrastination and planning a wedding stressed me out a lot. Thankfully Heidi constantly checked in with me and provided helpful tips and suggestions. The wedding day was when she really shined, she and her assistant Kiersten put everything together beautifully. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time. We had a few last-minute crises, and she firstly told me don't worry about them and then handled them properly. In short, having Heidi was the second best thing I had on my wedding day (the best thing was that I got married)! -

Heidi is a treat to work with! She is exceptionably organized and helped bring my chaotic vision to life. We used Altar Ego as our month of wedding planner, which basically means that she ensures that everything I planned is going to run smoothly-- checking in with all of our vendors the weeks leading up, and then the day of making sure that my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Almost no one I have spoken to liked or would recommend their wedding planner but then Heidi's name kept popping up from friends. Even if you are doing the heavy lifting of the wedding planning, Heidi is there to make sure that you are not missing any important details, and knows what needs to get done for the day to run smoothly. Thanks for a great experience, Heidi! -

We are so happy that we chose Jennifer Ashford with Altar Ego Weddings as our wedding planner. She is not only detail oriented, conscientious, polite, friendly, caring, and compassionate but her wedding planning is outstanding! We knew the first time we met with Jenn that she was a great fit for our needs. She was quick to respond to emails, answering all questions, and offering suggestions. Jenn was there when we needed her at every moment during the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. There wasn't any task too little or too big for her to handle. Plus, she has a wonderful sense of humor. I highly recommend Jennifer Ashford with Altar Ego Weddings if you are having a Wedding in the Austin Area. She is absolutely the best! She went above and beyond! We love her! With Love, The Wilson's of Sugar Land -

Im from Minnesota and my daughter got married this last weekend in Melissa Texas. Now she lived there with her mother for the last 18 years. She didn't hire a planner but I did. Reason, one I'm a guy who knows absolutely nothing about weddings and 2 the distance. The DJ that my daughter hired highly recommended Heidi from Alter Ego. Now, I didn't need the full service they offer. But now going through the whole process and seeing how things didn't fall into place, I would never do this with out one. And remember, I'm a dude! I had Heidi line up all the alcohol and delivery of the alcohol, all the limos for my family, (I flew 54 family members down for the long weekend) and my Friday night family party. It went flawlessly. Everything she took care of went like clockwork and where she was not involved with went not so smoothly. And at the last minute, less than one week prior to the wedding, I thought of hiring a videographer to do a live stream video to my father in law who is dying of cancer. I didn't think there was any way of her pulling this off. Guess what- she found Josh. Josh did the live stream for the wedding then I did a tribute to my father in law and tears flowed in both states. What a gift! I can not thank her enough! Five stars does not even come close nor will it ever come close! If you ever have a doubt, don't! Heidi and Alter Ego are nothing but first class. Please, Heidi, if ever you need a reference, please have them email or call me. Words will never express what you did for my daughter and me. -

Jen is absolutely the BEST!
When I first started looking at planners on wedding wire, I sent multiple inquiries out. Not only was Jen the first one to respond, but met with me within 24 hours in person. She was happy and professional, and her organizational skills were obvious. I mean, when I tell a planner that I love Excel to stay organized, she immediately pulled up her software platform that she shares with her brides to stay organized.
I hired Jen as a day of + design services. Don't let 'day of' fool you. She was so involved throughout the entire process. She gives you unlimited e mails & phone calls and responds very fast. For phone calls, she always picks up the phone when she can. She has great advice and provided me with amazing vendor suggestions. Speaking of vendors, I think I totaled SIXTEEN for my wedding. Any planner that can juggle 16 vendors is a magician in my book.
For the design piece, that's where I personally struggled. Jen ran with my theme and went with me to multiple vendors to get the decor, rentals, and flowers just right. I wish I could post pictures here because she did an amazing job!
If you want a planner that you love to be around, get along with, keeps you in check with your progress, gives you tools to stay organized, and orchestrates the most amazing wedding day ever, chose Jen!
Jen, thanks for ALL you did. I keep telling Jeff that I want to renew our vows every 6 months just so we can have another wedding! ha. We had the most fun and flawless day with you by our side. So happy to have celebrated your 100th wedding with you!!
Lynne & Jeff -

If you don't know whether to hire a wedding planner in the first place...all I can say is this: unless you are unemployed or can take a 6-month to 1-year vacation to plan your wedding, then you absolutely, 100%, should hire a wedding planner in some capacity. You don't need to pay thousands of dollars for full-service wedding planning if you don't need it/can't afford it (and there are an infinite number of ways you can personalize a package with Jen or Heidi to fit your specific needs). You will not regret hiring a wedding planner for a single, solitary minute. I promise you that much.
Now for those of you that already know you want a wedding planner and want to know whether Altar Ego Weddings is the winner, I will say resoundingly: YES. I live in Dallas but booked a venue in Austin, so I was looking for someone that had connections with vendors in both cities. I knew 5 minutes into meeting Jen (who is Austin-based) that I'd found my wedding planner - she is sweet, funny, relatable, and above all, a GREAT listener. She understood my vision before I realized I even had a vision. That's how good she is. Jen was on top of things from day one in a way that I could never have been even if I had all the time and money in the world to do it on my own. She knew exactly what schedule to follow for when we should hire vendors and always provided 2-4 options for me to consider (more if I wanted). This by itself made her worth every penny because I never had to worry about reliability or reputation - I was able to trust her judgment completely. We had a great mix of Dallas and Austin vendors and - I had booked Jen even though I knew she wouldn't be available on my wedding day - her partner Heidi (who is Dallas-based) was my day-of coordinator and she was fantastic. I had a fairy tale wedding with amazing vendors and the best planning experience I think anyone could ask for. You won't regret hiring either of these ladies. 20 million stars for Altar Ego Weddings!! -

Jennifer & her team were AMAZING. Jennifer went above & beyond on our wedding day to make sure we were relaxed, happy & ready to celebrate! I would HIGHLY recommend Altar Ego for any wedding planning needs. She made sure that our 'vision' was executed and really made our day special. I don't think I could've gotten through the craziness of wedding planning without her - she's easy to talk to, friendly, professional and dependable. I knew right away that she was the planner for me with her cheery and happy attitude. I was happy to know that our day was in amazing hands and all we had to do was have fun! -

We thought about planning the wedding without using a wedding planner. With so much information available thru websites, we figured we could do it on our own and save some money. WOW were we glad we changed our mind. Heidi was a dream to work with- highly professional with an extremely warm personality. The day of the wedding she took care of ALL the vendors and ALL the details of the wedding and reception so that we could focus on ...the wedding. Everyone involved in the wedding loved working with Heidi- she was the best decision we made during the entire planning process. So, if you are thinking of planning the wedding on your own...DON'T! Hire Heidi so you can enjoy the wedding! -

Jennifer was the magician for our wedding. She helped me tremendously from the day I emailed her asking for info all the way until I had left the wedding. I never had a worry about something going wrong because Jennifer not only communicated with me, but she was on top of everything. She knew exactly what I needed and figured out my style so she would be able to make great decisions. I was skeptical of needing a coordinator, but did it since I was not living in the area--DO IT! She really did make the ultimate difference on my stress level before, during, and after the wedding. She was personable, easy to get along with, showed her knowledge, and went above and beyond. 100% recommend to everyone. -

We feel so lucky that we found Heidi to help us with our wedding planning. A number of brides that we asked for recommendations did NOT like their wedding planner. My daughter found 2 clients of hers who recommended Heidi, then we discovered that a friend had used Heidi also. They all LOVED Heidi, so we felt very confident hiring Alter Ego.
We used Heidi for the month-of planning. She was very professional and laid out in her contract exactly what she would do for us so we know exactly what to expect. The part that was most important to us was having her make sure that everything went according to schedule at the wedding without us having to worry about it. She did that, but did so much more. She kept in contact with all our vendors and made sure they would show up and met them the day of the wedding. She met with us a few times to go over all our planning, went to our venue with us to figure out how everything would be set up with our caterer, and was available by phone or email anytime we needed anything! She was at the rehearsal to make sure everything was all set and everyone knew where they should be. Then she was there all day with her assistant, Jaclyn overseeing all the setup, the wedding itself, then the event breakdown. They both worked so hard!
We had a pretty complex setup because there were so many personal items my daughter wanted incorporated into the reception. Heidi took it all in stride and was great all day long. In addition to being detail oriented, she is also fun!
I've probably rambled on long enough, but just know that if you decide to use Heidi, you won't be disappointed. She has a lot of experience so she can give good advice and she will also keep you calm! -

Jen and Heidi were the absolute best! We contacted Alter Ego Weddings at the very beginning of our planning process and we are so glad that we had them through everything. An entire year of planning! They hooked us up with great vendors and made sure that everything would be taken care of the day of the wedding. We had absolutely nothing to worry about the day of and I am so thankful for that! Our wedding was even more beautiful than we had hoped for thanks to Alter Ego Weddings! If any other brides are still on the fence about hiring a wedding planner my advice is to DO IT! It will be the best money spent on your wedding without a doubt. We loved working with Alter Ego Weddings and will definitely be recommending them to everyone! I will miss you guys...until I see you at all of my friend's weddings! Love you! -

Jennifer was amazing. It was so comforting to know she was on top of everything - from scheduling to confirming with vendors. My father even mentioned how in-control she was of the whole event, and how she kept all of the "crazy" away from the family so we could enjoy the day.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE her! -

We hired Jennifer for "month of" coordination for my daughter's wedding. I am so glad we did! We could tell from our first meeting with Jennifer that she would take care of all the details for us. She did an awesome job keeping everything flowing and organized. When my younger daughter gets married, Jennifer will be our wedding planner again! -

Our wedding was just amazing! My husband and I woke up the next day and couldn't stop gushing about it!! All our friends said it was great and my parents even asked how did we do everything so wonderfully. We gave Jennifer our ideas and she executed everything perfectly! I did not have to worry about a thing and we were able to just enjoy the wedding without having to worry. What more could I have asked for? Oh, and not once did I have to worry about an empty glass. Jen or her assistant was always there with a fresh glass as soon as I was done :) Thank you, Jennifer!! -

I have to start by saying that I am a very organized and detailed oriented person so finding the perfect wedding planner was going to be a difficult task. I met with at least 20 wedding planners before I met Jen, and after I met her I knew she was it! She is so down to Earth and professional and just makes you feel at ease. During the whole process, she would respond to any of my many emails or text messages promptly and go out of her way to make sure I was okay with everything. She was also excellent in communicating with all my vendors and making sure that everything was in order so I wouldn't have to worry about a thing. On wedding day, Jen and her assistant were fabulous! Everything was perfect and ran flawlessly! And if there was anything that was wrong, I had no idea because they took care of everything! I had so many worries and concerns that my vision would not come out the way I wanted, but with Jen on my side, I knew I had nothing to worry about. If you want your dream happen to go on without a hitch, then there is no other choice than Altar Ego Weddings! -

Jen rocks my world!! I was the most relaxed and laid back bride on my wedding day because I knew Jen had everything under control. From the day my fiancé and I met her at Starbucks, I knew this was going to be a good relationship. Jen was very accessible....quickly responded to my emails...calmed me down when I had bride nightmares and freak outs and was always there when I needed an opinion or second opinion. She has WONDERFUL vendor recommendations as well. One awesome thing about Jen is that everyone loves her and loves working with her so it made our wedding day go so smoothly. Thank you thank you Jen for dealing with my detail-obsessed dad and making sure the umbrellas did NOT happen. We would hire you again in a second--maybe when we renew our vows :) We definitely have our happy ever after because of your efforts and attention to detail on our day. -

Jen is beyond amazing, I would had been completely lost without her! I didn't hire Jen until about 2 months before my wedding, she helped me fill in what I was missing and helped me find vendors that I was still needing. She helped me negotiate my contracts which I was really grateful for. She gave me the confidence that my wedding was going to be nothing short of amazing and exactly what I wanted. Whenever I emailed/called/text I always heard back from her within 1 hour or less. My wedding day went very smoothly and if I needed anything Jen was right there to make it happen.
My husband and I were at Hobby Lobby trying to find a cake topper and they had a binder/book titled, "The Ultimate Wedding Planner" my husband took it off the shelf and said, "Hey look a book about Jennifer!" We were beyond satisfied with Jen and I would recommend her to my friends in a heart beat! -

I hired Jennifer as a day-of coordinator. My mom thought hiring a day of coordinator was an extravagance, but by the end she was extremely relieved. Jennifer was at the venue getting everything ready with her assistant all day long, coordinating all of the deliveries and even helping decorate along with her assistant. She was a great resource to ask questions about logistics and the way to set everything up. Her and her assistant remained calm which helped keep me calm. She went above and beyond and helped us figure out to do when our venue completely neglected to tell our band that they didn't have an adequate power source until two days before the wedding. I would have had no idea what to do in that situation without her.
I highly recommend Jennifer as someone that is easy to talk to, a great value, a hard worker, and someone that is passionate about making her customers happy. -

I had a DIY wedding in Dallas but was living in California; I knew that planning a wedding from a different state was going to be more than difficult. Altar Ego Weddings provided "month-of" wedding coordination and this was the best decision I ever made! Jen made sure that the wedding (and myself!) were stress-free. She genuinely cares about her brides and is quick to respond to calls or emails. She was able to find me a last minute photo booth for my reception at a great price 3 days before my wedding! -

I cannot find the words to express just how wonderful it was having Jennifer, Altar Ego Weddings, by my side during the planning process and also on the day of my wedding. She was always available and very willing to help me with whatever I needed. I wasn't all that familiar with the wedding industry, so having Jennifer to assist me in choosing reliable and budget-friendly vendors was invaluable. The greatest part was having her there on the day of my wedding. I didn’t have to worry about anything because I knew no matter what came up, Jennifer was there to take care of it on my behalf. That reassurance helped me to enjoy my big day to the fullest rather than spending my time worrying or stressing about tasks being completed. If you’re looking for a planner, I highly recommend that you choose Altar Ego Weddings for your event. It was the best decision I made! -

When I first started planning, no one could understand why I wanted a venue coordinator and a day-of coordinator. After my mom worked with Jen though, she understood. Jen stepped in and handled just about everything from setting up decor, making our day run smoothly, and sending us off into the night. When I forgot my purse at the venue, she was there to help out. When my veil fell out during my walk down the aisle, she was there to put it back in. I don't know how the wedding day would have been without Jennifer's help and I am certainly glad I didn't have to find out! -

Jen is the best! As a former wedding planner I was not sure I would be able to let go and hand my vision over to someone else; with Jen I was able to do so! Jen was very responsive to my emails prior to the wedding. She was on top of the final details the week prior which allowed me to enjoy being a bride.
The day of I was relaxed and did not worry about anything! From making sure things were set up at the reception venue to taking my gum before I walked down the aisle, I was more than pleased. My family was very impressed with Jen's professionalism and her attention to detail.
I was a happy and stress free bride!!!

Also thank you for your recommendations on vendors. I could not have been more pleased. -

Being a self-proclaimed control-freak, I was hesitant to turn over any aspect of my wedding to anyone else. But, on the advice of those who love me, I decided to go ahead and hire a day-of coordinator. One of the best decisions I made... Jennifer was phenomenal!!! Not only did she help get things set up for the ceremony, she did a tremendous amount of work in getting the tables ready for the reception. Plus, she made sure the day ran smoothly into the night. That day was such a blur, but Jennifer helped make sure it was everything I wanted it to be. Trust me, ladies, do not try to go it alone. Let go of the reigns on your special day and just enjoy being the bride! Jennifer will make sure things are exactly how you want them to be. -

Jen is amazing! Probably the best money I spent on the whole wedding. I hired her for the rehearsal and day of. Even though I didn't hire her to help plan my entire wedding she would still keep in touch with me and answer any questions I had. The day of the wedding there were apparently a couple of issues, which I didn't know about until I got back from my honeymoon. It was so nice to know that she had everything handled and I could just enjoy everything. When I first told my husband that we were hiring Jen to help with the day of stuff, he didn't get it at all. He kept asking why we were spending the money. By the end of the REHEARSAL he completely got it! We were both so happy with everything she did! -

Jennifer was a huge help throughout the process, but really came through at the end. The last couple of days were extremely stressful, especially because we were having some catering woes, and were working in a very non-traditional venue and in a very non-traditional way. Jen was calm, organized, and in charge of every detail. She was great and I highly recommend her! -

Jennifer Ashford was awesome! Jennifer was my day of coordinator for the ceremony and reception. She did a wonderful job and made everything go so smoothly. She kept me calm, took care of all the little details, and reminded me that it was my special day. Jennifer is very friendly, professional, and very organized. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a wedding planner and or coordinator. -

We were trying to keep costs down, but recognized the value of having a go to person for the wedding day-off...an extra set of hands to coordinate lots of moving parts. Not only was Jennifer professional, nice, attractive, quick (she knew who everybody was in minutes), she made the ceremony rehearsal and wedding day MUCH less stressful for both families. One of the first things my husband commented on the following morning was how valuable Jennifer's help was. I hope to be able to refer any and all business her way as I'm that confident she approaches every wedding as the meaningful and important event it is. There is nothing I could complain about or give constructive criticism about. As an example of her attitude to go above and beyond (in my opinion), the cake stand didn't get returned and when I sent out and email to the hotel (where the even took place), the florist, and a few other vendors, Jennifer immediately responded (although she and I never discussed returning the stand) by 1) apologizing and 2) tracking down the stand and getting back to the cake people. It's a choice she makes to take responsibility (even if it wasn't) for much of/all the logistics in advance and day of that make Jennifer the very best at what she does. -

Jennifer was fabulous on the day of our wedding. Very sweet and always reminded me how it was my day. If anything did go wrong I was confident in her that I would not know about it to keep my day special. I highly recommend her. She is organized and does a great job planning. -

I am the MOB who hired, worked with, and was the one paying for Altar Ego's services. I live in Houston and needed someone to work with me and my daughter throughout the wedding planning process. I did a little bit of research on wedding planners, their prices and services and found my way to Jennifer Ashford. Quite frankly, one of the reasons I chose her was I liked the name of her business and that it showed some personality.
My daughter and I met with Jen several times but most of my communication was via email. Jen was responsive, reassuring and professional. She recommended several vendors, some I used and some I found on my own. She attended several tastings with the bride and groom and helped the bride find The Dress and recommended a great alterations lady. I had a tendency to micro-manage the process and Jen was right there on task. She was organized, efficient and had my back to make sure I was familiar with the contracts, payment due dates, etc.
About 2 weeks before the wedding, we met with Jen again and she assured me everything was under control and presented a detailed timeline for all the vendors. She confirmed with everyone so there was no surprises or missteps. The church did not allow Jen to be involved there so she spent her time the day of the wedding at Winfrey Point orchestrating the set up - which is no small feat! All went perfectly with one minor exception and Jen was on the phone the following Monday to make sure we got a credit on our bill for the undelivered table.
Jen was on task, calm, organized, unobtrusive, pleasant and worked very well with all the vendors. She followed up with us to make sure the event was as we planned and it more than met our expectations! I sincerely and highly recommend Altar Ego to brides and to MOBs who have high demands and expectations. We are very grateful to Jennifer Ashford and her attention to detail, follow up, follow through, and professionalism. -

Jennifer Ashford did a wonderful job as our wedding planner. While we knew we needed more than the "Day Of" coordination, we really didn't need the "Full Planning" either. Jennifer worked with us to come up with a package of services that we really felt addressed all of our planning needs.
During the planning process, she stayed a step ahead of us to make sure everything was done on time; she was always punctual and very responsive to email.
By the time our wedding day came, Jennifer made sure that we didn't have to worry about anything - and everything went beautifully!
I would recommend Altar Ego Weddings to anyone! -

I cannot say enough about Elicia with Altar Ego Weddings. She was much more than just my "day of wedding coordinator," also the keeper of sanity. Elicia was on top of everything from vendor timelines to wedding party timelines. My wedding was at a very DIY venue (The Filter Building) and there were so many vendors and moving pieces, having Elicia there helped me have peace of mind and if anything went awry, I certainly wasn't aware of it on the night of the wedding! We also rented our linens through Altar Ego because their prices were better than most rental companies in the area.
Hiring Altar Ego Weddings for day-of-coordination was definitely the best value for the money that I spent on the entire wedding. -

Jennifer was by far one of the best vendor choices I made for our wedding.
She was very quick to respond by email / phone and always had an answer for my answers.
She was on time for our meetings and always helped me realize what was worth worrying over and what wasn't.
I was lucky enough to book her as well as a few vendors she's worked with previously, which left me feeling VERY comfortable that all would go well.
On our wedding day, she quickly calmed me down when I had a flower emergency and made sure things went off without a hitch.
Thanks Jenn! -

Jennifer was my wedding planner last November and she helped me make my big day the best day ever. She thought of things that I didn't even think of that needed to be taken care of. Her experience with working with various vendors helped me make the right decisions when I needed to. You can't go wrong with choosing Jennifer, she is professional, patient, and punctual (and doesn't get mad at you if you aren't :) ). -
