We had an amazing wedding day! Every step of the way Ashley and her team made our planning process simple and straightforward. They listened to us and created a vendor list leading us to vendors that fit our style and budget. Ashley’s creativity made the vision of our day come true. In addition, the day of our wedding was completely stress free. Amazing! The Grit City team knows their stuff! -

Pretty much saved my wedding day !
WOW! Ashley and her team did an amazing job. Words can't really express how happy I am with the service, professionalism and creativity of Grit City Weddings. I used them for my day of coordination but I feel like Ashley really helped me stay organized along the way. She also helped me stay calm during this entire process.
The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly that my guests made comments on how easy and organized the event was. Ashley and her assistants Tirza and Logan were always around day of wedding to ensure bride, groom and wedding party were well taken care of.
We had an outdoor ceremony with reception in a tent. That evening there was an insane rain and windstorm. I was very very nervous but Ashley and her crew not only kept others calm but also sprung into action to save all my wedding gifts and signage from the rain. They went above and beyond to basically save the day! Ashley was fun to work work with and has so much knowledge it really takes the stress and pressure off. She has the perfect balance of getting the job done while not losing site of the bride and groom's vision. She really took time to understand who we were and what was important to us for our wedding.
I give my highest recommendation of Grit City Weddings and am SO happy with the service and really coming through on my big day. Thank you! -

Ashley is a pure joy to work with! Choosing Grit City for the day of coordination and design for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made through the whole process. Through every step of the process, Ashley was there to answer our questions and provide feedback on our ideas. Not only is she knowledgeable in all things wedding, but she takes all the stress out of planning. In the week leading up to the big day I was able to give her complete control over all vendor communications and all planning duties. Not once did I ever worry about something getting lost or forgotten about, Ashley exceeded every expectation and I was able to relax and just enjoy the celebration! I can’t give enough praise to Ashley and her team for how seamless they made the wedding day and the entire time leading up to it. They were excited, organized and prepared for anything that came up. The train of my dress ripped 30 minutes before the ceremony and they were there with a thread gun and a smile to fix me right up. Truly the greatest team, book them for your wedding you will NOT regret it!

I don't even know where to start about Ashley! Put simply, I wouldn't have been able to get married without her. She is so committed to the production of weddings, and her passion echoes in her work. She is detail-oriented while also managing to be down-to-earth and relaxed—a combination I did not think existed! We threw some complicated and wild things on her plate, and she handled them all with ease.
Throwing these types of events is already stressful enough, if you want someone who will not add more stress to your life, who will make the art of planning a wedding something you are excited about, then you need to hire Ashley and her team. -

Exceed All Expectations!
My wedding day was perfect. And it's all because of Ashley and her team at Grit City. I'm a Type A person, hyper-organized, and a designer that already had a vision for my wedding. It was very important that I find someone that was as equally detail-oriented, that I would feel comfortable working with, and that could make my design vision a reality. After interviewing multiple wedding planners, the choice was so obvious - Grit City! I worked with Ashley for over a year making my wedding vision a reality. She was so knowledgeable and helpful along the way, I absolutely could not have done this without her. On the day of the wedding, Ashley made sure that I relinquish my tendencies to take on too much and insisted that she take care of all the details. She even made sure my son got what he needed to get ready for the event when he had to arrive separately from football camp. She wanted to make sure I was able to focus on my big day and not worry at all about everything and everyone else. The wedding, décor, and ambience exceeded my vision and expectations. Even my wedding guests took notice at how hard she worked the entire day to make sure everyone was having fun, relaxed and enjoying the moment. I made the right choice in selecting Ashley and Grit City! -

The best decision we made for our wedding was working with Grit City Weddings! Not only did Ashley keep us on track and provide amazing vendor referrals, she helped us keep our sanity amidst so many decisions and timelines. We couldn't have done it without her! Ashley is kind, patient, smart, and caring. We felt like she was always rooting for us and wanted to help create a day that fit our vision and who we are as a couple. We couldn't recommend Grit City Weddings more highly. It'll be the best investment you make in your big day! -

July 2023 wedding
If you’re considering Grit City Weddings, we cannot recommend them enough. Ashley made the planning process so easy compared to what it could have been. She gave us timelines and documents to track contracts, amounts paid, and what was left to be done. She was so open to doing things differently than an average wedding, and gave us ideas and potential vendors. Ashley is insanely calm under pressure; I’m an air traffic controller and she made the chaos look easy (and did it with a smile). I felt like what we paid was a bargain for all that she did for us! She made our wedding run flawlessly and exactly how we imagined it! -

Tara W. Sent on 06/04/2023Amazing experience on our big day!
We had the pleasure of working with Ashley leading up to our event with the Coordination Package as well as Tosha and Julie joining us on the day of and we cannot recommend Grit City enough! From the first conversation, you could tell their broad experience left us in very capable hands. Ashley managed to be both incredibly friendly and easy to talk to while also being ridiculously efficient. The Grit City team provides a ton of planning resources to their couples and we met several times leading up to the event, all of which left us feeling relaxed and confident about our big day. On the wedding day, they arrived with smiling faces and kept things running smoothly and looking even better than we'd hoped. Their whole team was just delightful to work with and I am so glad they were there to help make our day perfect! -

Ashley with Grit City was an absolute joy to work with. My husband and I hired her for Day-Of coordinating services for our wedding. Ashley was relatable and welcoming and was also punctual, detail-oriented, and gave great advice, but left us feeling as though she still valued our vision and ideas (and boy do I have a lot of ideas!) Ashley was extremely supportive and put my family and I at ease and made it so we could all truly enjoy the wedding rather than sweating the small stuff. I like to fancy myself quite the "planner," but it was such a perfect and brilliant opportunity to step back and let the professional work her magic -- and magic it was! If you are anything like me and are considering whether or not it's worthwhile and worth the money to hire a planner or day-of coordinator -- the answer is YES. It absolutely is. Even a month after the wedding, our friends and family have still been raving about how amazing Ashley and her team was and I couldn't agree more and felt like our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. -

Cannot recommend enough
We had the wonderful experience of working with Ashley at Grit City for our wedding planning and it could not have been a better experience. We had an odd vision for what we were looking for, and Ashley handled it all amazingly, from recommending the perfect vendors to keeping us on track and making sure we had everything we needed to truly make it our day. Ashley worked very closely with myself and our maid of honor to make sure the day went perfectly, and was an excellent day-of coordinator. We went with their Wedding Management package and, as someone who can be a bit of a control freak, it was exactly what we needed; Ashley took care of the things we needed done and pointed me in the right direction for all the things we wanted to do ourselves. On the day of the wedding, we truly were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that Ashley had it all taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough! -

I honestly can't say enough about Michele and the Grit City team. From the very beginning she was on board and understood our vision for our wedding, was incredibly organized, thoughtful, kind and fun. She made our day so smooth and I didn't have to worry about a thing, which as an event planner myself is saying something! If you're thinking of hiring Grit City DO IT, you won't regret it. -

Highly recommend
Ashley was incredible and helped us create a memorable, special and beautiful day. She is organized, timely, friendly, thorough, professional and trustworthy. We could not have done it without her and her team. Grit City has several packages and services to chose from that will fit your needs. We loved our wedding and we could not be happier.
Ashley is a wealth of knowledge. She has a lot of experience in this field and we are happy and blessed to have taken her advice and guidance during the planning process. We had several
meetings beforehand and she coordinated the day. She kept us on track to ensure we had everything we wanted and needed beforehand. The planning and coordinating made the day go by fast and easy. She knew what we visioned and made it happen including set up and clean up. On the day of our wedding, we could not have asked for anyone else. Ashley and Tosha helped us stay on timeline, helped us be where we needed to be and guided us thru the event. They set up the venue and it was beautiful done. She relieved a lot of stress I had about wedding planning and am happy we went with Grit City. We loved the end result and highly recommend her for any event -

Ashley was exactly who you would want as the right hand on your wedding day (especially if you are type a like me). She went above and beyond, even replicating our table numbers when they got lost in the mail. We were lucky to have her and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. -

10/10 absolutely recommend!
I can without a doubt say that the best decision we made in our wedding planning was to hire Ashley and her team. Working with Ashley, you could tell that she was genuinely excited for our marriage and celebration. And not only that, she also brought all our vendors along with her in the excitement. Her ability to read the crowd and us as bride and groom to see if the schedule needed any adjusting was hands down the best I’ve ever seen. I personally credit the Grit City team with keeping me functioning on my wedding day. They went above and beyond and made sure I had anything I needed before I ever thought to ask. (Eg. Advil and water on a schedule to fend off a migraine).
I feel like I can’t express how deeply appreciative I really am so I’ll end with this… If you’re on the fence about booking with Grit City… DO IT! I cannot recommend them enough! -

Elizabeth W. Sent on 09/19/2021Michele / Grit City MADE our day!
Hiring Grit City Weddings and having Michele as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. Like so many couples, we drastically downsized our wedding due to COVID and I felt pretty lost in the chaos and emotions of re-arranging. Once we met Michele and started working closely with her to finalize the details, I felt increasingly at ease. She thinks of EVERYTHING and keeps track of it in a way that just makes your life easier as a couple. The day of our wedding she and Erin were absolute heroes - from checking in throughout the day to see if I was OK/needed water, keeping us on schedule, setting up all the decor, getting all the vendors on the same page, lining up the wedding party, to packing up leftover dinner/desserts and gifts AND taking them to our car... we were so well cared for. I really don't even want to imagine what the day would have been like without Michele. It takes an incredibly caring, organized, and hardworking person to do events like this. We had all of that and more.
If you're on the fence about hiring a coordinator (I was... foolishly), allow me to help you off the fence. Working with Grit City was a gamechanger and I genuinely hope more and more couples/families will give themselves that gift for their special days.
