We’re the perfect example of you get what you pay for.
Started our wedding journey trying to save as much money as we could and opted for hiring a wedding coordinator instead of a planner (we didn’t know the difference at the time).
Well… it took us 2 months of achieving absolutely nothing to realize that we had made the wrong choice.
Some Google searches and we came across Ashley Nicole Affair. We jumped on a call with them and immediately realized these ladies knew their stuff.
Our expectation was to hire somebody that would take us by the hand every step of the way and that’s what ANA delivered.
Although that’s not what impressed us the most…
We know we all make mistakes and sh*t usually happens along the way; and a lot can be said about a person’s character and values depending on how she deals with it.
Well, Ashley did an amazing job navigating through the curve balls life threw at us while planning our wedding and we respect that.
That being said, Ashley has built her team with a great system behind it. Everybody knows what needs to be done, how, why, and where. No matter what, they got you covered.
Kerri and Ashley planned and built our dream wedding from the ground up. The amount of rentals that ANA has for your special day is stunning! … and really helpful!
Ashley crafted beautiful florals and nailed our vision.
Amanda, Starla, and Diandra, were the coordinators present the day of our wedding and they were incredible too! They made everything super easy, fluent, natural, and made us feel taken care of. Not to mention the 3 of them were super sweet and everybody at the wedding loved them.
Because of Ashley Nicole Affair, we enjoyed our wedding day 100% stress free!Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
You have no idea how much this means to us! Thank yoi SO much for your kind words! We enjoyed being a part of your wedding day SO much and are so happy for you guys! -

The BEST Wedding Planners. Period.
If you've been researching wedding planners in Austin, stop your search here! I can genuinely say that our wedding would not have been as smooth or fun to plan without the Ashley Nicole Affair team!
At the beginning of planning, we had conversations with MANY wedding planners in the area, and after our first conversation with Ashley, we instantly knew Ashley Nicole Affair was the one. She really "got" us and was so easy to connect with, while also showcasing an impressive understanding of the wedding industry and an outstanding network of vendors in Austin.
Beth was our main wedding planner, and it was truly the perfect match! From the get-go, she put us at ease, established clear timelines/goals to set us up for success, and offered incredible vendor suggestions that were highly rated and matched what we were looking for within our budget. The planning process was nothing short of stellar. She took our scattered ideas and turned them into a cohesive, breathtaking vision, complete with a gorgeous look book to bring everything to life. From helping us with table settings (which she graciously met us MULTIPLE times to revamp to match our aesthetic after much indecisiveness on our part) to emails, calls, and constant texts – she was always there to answer our questions, calm our nerves, and make us feel like we were her top priority.
On the day of our wedding, Beth, Amanda & Weslyn made the day an absolute breeze. The flow of the day was flawless, and allowed us to bask in every moment with each other and our friends and family without worrying about a single thing. Every interaction throughout the day was light and fun, and they handled all the details of vendor management and unexpected logistical hiccups (as are bound to happen) without us ever noticing.
We've been married now for 3+ months, and we look back lovingly on the process and the day of our wedding with sincere gratitude and joy. Thanks to their recommendations, we were surrounded by vendors and people that, by the end of the day, felt like old friends - and that especially rings true for the amazing ladies at Ashley Nicole Affair!
We can't recommend Ashley Nicole Affair enough to anyone who wants their wedding experience to be filled with understanding, support, and flawless execution. They made our special day truly unforgettable, and we're forever grateful! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you for being a dream bride, Sophie! You and Preston's wedding day was one for the books - filled with so much personality and love and beauty! We love reliving your amazing day every time we look through your gallery! We wish you all the best! -

The best of the best!
I can not recommend Ashley Nicole Affair enough! The entire team is phenomenal. From my first introduction call with Ashley I knew they were going to be amazing. I chose the month of coordinator package and had the pleasure of working with Amanda throughout my planning process. Amanda was extremely helpful, supportive, and responsive. She promptly answered all my questions, coordinated with all my vendors, and gave me helpful advice throughout my planning process. My mom and MIL met Amanda at our tasting and were very complimentary of her. Amanda is an INCREDIBLE planner! On the day of the wedding I worked with Weslyn and Amanda, they were so helpful and organized. Thank you so much ladies for making my day as incredible as it was. It would not have been as amazing without you! If you want the most perfect wedding, Ashley Nicole Affair team will make that a reality!Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you so much! You both are the sweetest and we loved working with y’all and seeing all the love and joy you two share. We are so honored to have played a part! ❤️ -

I knew from the moment I talked to Ashley that ANA was right for us. I had so many questions and she made me feel completely taken care of immediately. No question too small. ANA has all the services and more you could need in a planner. They provide countless vendor referrals, their own rentals which we used for welcome signs, table numbers and seating charts. They even have an AMAZING creative calligrapher on staff that we worked with on our stationary, named Liz of Green Girl Design Co.
Beth and team brought my vision to the finish line. Taking us to Premiere to sort through linen & flatware rentals, flawlessly organizing & coordinating all additional vendors and finalizing all of our day of details. From setting up our bus with our DIY “Just Married” sign and cans to all the other details we brought in (which were a lot!) - everything was just as envisioned. Beth even helped connect my dad with musicians at the University of Texas to surprise me with a live performance of a song he wrote day of, in addition to documenting so many details and videos for us throughout our big day. I truly cannot recommend this group enough. Look no further - ANA is IT.
Thank you Ashley, Beth, Liz and everyone else who helped make our day so special. My family cannot thank you enough. ❤️Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you so much! Your day was so beautiful and filled with so much love and we couldn’t be happier for you two. Thank you for entrusting us with all your details and bringing your dream to life! -

Working with Ashley Nicole Affair for my wedding was a wonderful experience. From our very first informational phone call, I could tell I would be in good hands. Amanda was our day-of coordinator and she was amazing to work with. She was so organized, thoughtful, understanding, supportive, and helpful throughout the entire process. Things went so incredibly smoothly on the day of my wedding, and I know it's because I worked with Ashley Nicole Affair.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
We can't thank you enough! We appreciate your kind words and wish you all best! Thank you letting us be a part of your day! :) -

The best decision we made for our wedding!
Ok, so let me start off by saying that there is a reason Ashley and her team have a 5 star rating at almost 200 reviews and honestly I’m not sure what else I can say that is different from every over couple who is raving about them. However, I will try my best to convey my gratitude and talk about my experience- and buckle in because it’s a long one.
I personally loved every second of planning my wedding and found many of the tasks enjoyable that friends of mine hated doing. However, when it came to turning that Pinterest board and my ideas into a realistic plan, I was helpless. I knew I needed help and definitely wanted someone for the day of my wedding to run the show (Trust me, if you are on the fence about having a planner do not skip hiring one)! I booked ANA for the design full service planning about 2 years before my actual wedding and it was the perfect package for what I needed!
During the entire time (that’s right, not a month before your wedding or some limited communication package) I could email Ashley and ask for recommendations, advice or really anything! Her response time is also unreal which is just amazing. Furthermore, her portal and documents are perfection when it comes to staying organized. Ashley and Beth created an absolute dream look-book from my ideas and Pinterest boards using their rentals (I essentially exclusively decorated my wedding with their inventory). When it came time to my actual wedding and saw everything in person, it took my breath away. My guests described it as a “fairytale wedding” which couldn’t sum it up better. They nailed it. I had Beth as my lead planner and Mandy as my second planner during the wedding day. And holy moly you guys… when I tell you that if it were not for Beth the last 2-3 months before my wedding I don’t know how I would have gotten through it. Seriously, I can’t even think of a way to convey how amazing she was anytime I needed help or had a change in plans (or another change…). She was on top of it!
During the wedding I knew I was in the best of hands and was able to truly enjoy the day and not worry about a single thing. I mean… zero stress at a wedding for the bride?! Unreal! But Beth and Mandy made that happen for us.
If you’ve stuck through this review to this point you’re either a couple still deciding or Ashley and her team. For my couples out there, you have found your wedding planner. Stop looking and reach out already. Best vendor decision I made and worth every penny. For Ashley, Beth, Mandy and her team… thank you. From the bottom of our hearts you are doing amazing work and are true professionals in this industry. We were so lucky to have you a part of our journey and wish you all the continued success and love.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Oh My Gosh! Erika! Thank you SO much! I cannot even begin to describe how much your kind words mean to us. You and Joe were absolutely amazing to work with and we are so honored we got to be part of your wedding day. We wish you guys the happiest life!!! -

Salina C. Sent on 11/04/2022WOW! Amazing ladies!!
These ladies were at the top of my list to hire! Amanda Bartz was my planner for my wedding and she knew what she was doing. She listened to me when I needed to vent, and was patient when I couldn't decide on many things. She was a rock star on the day of as well. She was in charge of setting up my flowers, setting up table settings, and making sure everyone was doing what they needed to do. I recommend hiring them with rentals involved. At the beginning of your planning process it may not seem worth it, but trust me it is! My day wouldn't have gone smoothly without her!Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you SO much for your sweet words Salina! You have no idea how much it means to us! We are so incredibly honored you chose us to be part of your wedding day! We wish you and Corey all the love and happiness! -

From the moment I reached out to Ashley Nicole Affair and described to Ashley my complete cluelessness as to where to start with wedding planning, she was the warmest and most supportive soul I instantly knew working with her and her team would be a joy and lifesaver. We went with the Design Full-Service Planning package and I am so thankful we did. We worked mainly hand in hand with Beth for the 9 months leading up to our wedding and she was the most helpful and calming person, any worry or fear i had she would immediately put me at ease and she was so responsive it was amazing. She put together the most beautiful design plan for our whole wedding and although i was extra picky when it came to little changes i wanted to make when i tell you i lost my breath when i first saw our wedding in person I truly mean it. Beth took everything we had been discussing and brainstorming and dreaming and made it all 10x more beautiful than i could have ever imagined. All of our vendors raved about how wonderful and easy it was to work with her and I just feel like she was the friend you always need when wedding planning who is also very much getting the job done. We also worked with Rachel on our wedding day and she was so sweet and so wonderful. Anytime my drink was close to running out i would spy Rachel heading our way to fill us up and check in on anything we may need. Highly recommend!!

Mandi F. Sent on 09/29/2022Amanda is an Angel!
Amanda was my ANGEL from start to finish! She calmed me down during my panic moments, kept me on track when I got busy/frantic, helped immensely with the most amazing vendor recommendations, then communicated on my behalf with many of my vendors, dealt with my crazy scatter-brained self, and on wedding day, she and Rachel absolutely KILLED it putting our whole vision together. There were a couple of hiccups on wedding day that I never knew a thing about until the next day (see transportation below) because she handled them before they could become an issue. I am beyond grateful that Amanda was there for me, and can't thank her enough for all of her help!Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
We can’t thank you enough for your kind words! We loved being part of your beautiful day and celebrating y’all! Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness! -

I can’t speak highly enough of my absolute amazing coordinator Amanda. She was there for us from start to finish. She was incredible to work with. From all vendors we dealt with in preparation for our wedding, Amanda was by far my favorite. Thank you Amanda and your assistant Mandy for making our day absolutely perfect, you guys are a dream team.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:

Kathryn L. Sent on 07/14/2022Book. Them. Now.
Let’s just start right off by saying… YOU NEED TO BOOK ASHLEY NICOLE AFFAIR!!!! I literally could not have done it without these ladies. By “it”, I mean planning the most amazing, magical, relaxed, fun wedding of my life. From the beginning of my engagement, I was just not really into the “wedding planning process”. I found it to be overwhelming and stressful, and this is coming from someone who loves planning things in normal life. When my mom and I found ANA, our world was rocked in the best way and we booked them for Partial Planning so they could design everything. We immediately clicked with Ashley and Beth and they quickly put us in touch with other vendors through their extensive network in Austin. When we were looking into floral vendors, Ashley jumped in to let us know about Fleur Affair (book them too!) and since we loved and trusted her so much, we knew she was also the best one to do our florals. Ashley and Beth were so responsive to my mom and I’s hundreds of emails and really helped us feel at ease.
Fast forward to April 2022, a few months before my wedding. We finally got to meet Beth in person (we do not live in TX so hadn’t even seen the venue in person yet) at our venue walkthrough and she blew me away! She was SO organized and prepared. She covered every little detail with us, and I knew we had someone in our corner who cared just as much as we did. Having Beth take over the vendor coordination after that meeting was truly a god-send so that I could focus on the 100 other things you have to do before your wedding :)
June 18, 2022 was the best day of my life and I owe SO much of that to Beth, Ashley, Amanda, Helen and Liz. THANK YOU SO MUCH ANA TEAM!Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
We could not be happier for you two and are incredibly honored you entrusted us with your beautiful day! We love you guys! -

Amazing Experience
Kerri and Graydon with Ashley Nicole Affair were phenomenal. They helped me with “Month of Planning”. They organized all my vendors and deliveries so that I did not have to worry about any of it on the day of my wedding. They also designed beautiful programs and menus for my guests. I cannot recommend them enough. My wedding was gorgeous, and because of them if there were any problems, I didn’t have to deal with them. They were easy to reach and responsive when I needed them. Their services are invaluable. Even if you want to “DIY” your wedding, having a month of planner is invaluable. They will set up everything for you and set up a timeline for your special day so that you can relax and enjoy the time with your family and friends. Time with those you love on one of your most important days is priceless. I highly recommend them and could not have done it without them.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Liz! Your day was gorgeous and we couldn't be happier for you and Rob! Wishing you all the love and joy life has to offer! -

Morgan S. Sent on 08/15/2022Best decision to hire this planner!
Ashley and her team are the best wedding planners around and we are so happy we picked them for our June wedding at the Allan House. We had the "month of coordination" package but our planners (Beth & Rachel) of the team went above and beyond what they needed to do. First of all, they were available to talk to our vendors starting 60 days before our wedding. I felt we could reach out to them with last minute problems and everything was handled. Beth and Rachel were SO professional and uplifting on the day of the wedding. My husband and I were so impressed with how seamless the day went and I highly recommend them to my friends who are also planning weddings!! The day wouldn't have been as enjoyable and perfect without them.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Morgan! We are so incredibly happy for you two and loved playing a small part in your beautiful journey together! -

Jocelyn F. Sent on 11/01/2021Best. Decision. Ever.
Where to really begin with Ashley and all of her magic? Before booking any vendor, I think it’s really important to consider them in two parts; the planning process and the actual outcome on the day of. Ashley and her team exceeded any possible expectation on both.
My husband and I booked Ashley when we got engaged in 2018. From the beginning we knew we would likely have a 3ish year engagement and it was important to us that we found vendors early on. I can be particular at times and found myself looking through and messaging SEVERAL wedding planners in the ATX area. For some reason we didn’t feel the connection I was looking for until we got on the phone with Ashley. Even before our call, Ashley was intentional and asked about how my husband and I met, what was important to us, and how she could help us with any of those pieces. When we got on the phone, it was clear that Ashley treated us like people and showed a genuine interest in us and what we wanted. At the time, Ashley and her team were fairly small, and that didn’t really matter to me. Intentionality trumped any number of followers or extravagance. Her passion for weddings and design made us decide to book her full service planning. We were planning an Austin area wedding from Boston, and I wanted to make sure we didn’t leave any small details behind. Best. decision. made.
During the planning process (the full three years), Ashley was there to answer questions, help guide, decisions, and her vendor recommendations were on point. She was always honest when we asked for opinions and never tried to up-sell or add any unnecessary elements that didn’t match our vision. To say that Ashley went above and beyond is an understatement. Some examples: I pictured having dreamy drapery on wedding day. When I reached out to the drapery vendor, I was told that it might not be possible due to some logistical issues with the venue’s ceiling. I reached out to Ashley to ask if we could think of any other design element to make up for the fact that drapery was not possible. Within an hour, Ashley emailed me a sketch that the drapery vendor had created for our wedding, and it looked stunning on the day of. I remember crying when I saw it on the day of the wedding because it meant the world that she partnered with them to make it happen. She has such strong partnerships with vendors in the area and it truly shows. Each time I interacted with a vendor, they had nothing but amazing things to say about Ashley and her team. Another example: I really loved the idea of having some arches as backdrops for our altar. Ashley knocked on her neighbor’s door to see if they could help make them. She eventually did find someone to make them for us and they looked incredible. She loaded her car up with rentals and made several trips from her home to our venue to deliver them. Throughout it all, she was there to laugh with and advocated for us each step of the way.
On the day of everything was absolutely stunning and perfect. As with any relationship, trust is important. We talked with Ashley about what it was we wanted- I spent three years reformatting my Pinterest board but didn’t exactly know how I wanted things to look or come together. Ashley made an extensive look-book of our wedding day that was so incredibly detailed (included rentals, recommendations, color palettes, etc.) She thought of the smallest details and really helped make our wedding unique to just us. One of Ashley’s greatest strengths is her partnerships with other vendors and her team. We were introduced to her husband, John of Moodyography, during our initial phone call and booked him as well. He was fun and incredible. Ashley also partnered with her assistant, Liz Green, who made beautiful calligraphy for our seating chart. On the week of our wedding we were introduced to Emily and Amanda. Emily helped run our rehearsal dinner and Amanda joined on wedding day to assist Emily in organizing our very large (and at times chaotic crowd), and will always remember her helping fluff my gown/ veil right before walking in. We couldn’t stop hearing how kind, relatable, and organized they both were. And during that entire day, Ashley worked the logistics and behind the scenes to make it all look like MAGIC.
At the root of it, I knew everything would come out perfectly because throughout the past couple of years she always gave us patience and intentionality. We couldn’t of have dreamt a more beautiful whimsy fairytale wedding. Ashley and her team helped change my husband’s perception of what a wedding could be and gave me the confidence to relax and have the greatest time of my life (which is sometimes hard for me to do). It’s been such a privilege to see Ashley Nicole Affair grow professionally over the past few years. Still replaying October 16, 2021.
TLDR: Best decision we ever made was booking Ashley Nicole Affair. Ashley is a fierce advocate and intentional with each of her couples. Her eye for design is impeccable and her team (s/o to Liz, Emily, and Amanda) are incredible. Have a chance to talk to her husband/ photographer, John Moody of Moodyography, because he is magic as well! One of my favorite moments will be looking at Ashley and us saying “we did it” before she opened the doors before walking down the aisle. Thank you Ashley, for one of the most special days of our lives.Ashley Nicole Affair's reply:
