    The perfect balance of organized and flexible!

    I don't think I could have booked with a more perfect planner than Ashley. She is the perfect balance of detail-oriented yet flexible, and she is exactly the person you’d want coordinating your big day.

    I booked her for event management, which is her version of month-of coordination, but with many added benefits. These include: email contact with her regarding vendor recommendations throughout the planning process, her taking over vendor communication 8 weeks out, her day of coordination, and three meetings to ensure she has all necessary details to put together the perfect timeline for your day.

    For me, this was absolutely perfect because I wanted control over my vendors and overall vision, but being this is my first time getting married, I felt like I needed an expert like Ashley to put the pieces together, coordinate the details, and bounce ideas off of.

    She is poised, kind, nimble, patient, and took on any stress I was feeling as her own - I cannot recommend her enough!

    The BEST Wedding Planner!

    I am beyond grateful for Ashley from Sweet James Events for her exceptional work as our wedding planner. From the very beginning, Ashley took the time to get to know us and understand our preferences to ensure that our wedding day would be special.
    Ashley's meticulous planning and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. She created a thorough agenda for the wedding party and vendors, ensuring that everything stayed on track. This level of organization and preparedness put our minds at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the wedding day and be present in the moment.
    Ashley's close communication with us and the vendors stood out. She held regular and effective communication to ensure that our needs were met and that all vendor activities were on track. Her dedication to keeping everyone informed and coordinated contributed to the smooth execution of the entire day.
    I cannot imagine having done this wedding without Ashley's support. Her meticulous planning, attention to detail, and warm personality made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. The results speak for themselves, as the entire day went smoothly and felt like a dream come true.
    I highly recommend Ashley from Sweet James Events as a wedding planner. Her professionalism, organization, and ability to create a personalized experience make her a top choice. Thank you, Ashley, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

    Look no further for the perfect wedding planner!!

    Ashley was so incredible to work with! I truly couldn't have done it without her! Or stayed sane!!! Ashley was amazing, from the very first meeting, I knew that she would be the best fit to work with. Her attention to detail makes her an incredible wedding planner. She had everything thought out and had answers to questions that I didn't even know that I had! My wedding day felt so seamless. So many issues that I've heard from brides going wrong on their wedding day never even occurred to me because Ashley had everything handled! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to make sure such a special day went perfectly. Almost all of my vendors had worked with Ashley in the past, and could attest to how wonderful she is at her job! As well as being such a kind and fun person to work with overall! You wont regret working with Ashley, I promise!

    Couldn't imagine doing it without her…

    Ashley, with Sweet James Events is everything and more you will ever need in a wedding planner. She was professional, patient, kind and able to answer questions we didn't even know to ask...! We sent her our vendor contracts, our vision, and our ideal budget, and she made magic happen to give us our absolute dream day. Her whole team was just as professional as her and beyond a joy to work with. It was hands down the best money spent in our entire wedding budget and would have paid double that for her service! 10/10. 5 Stars!

    Sweet James Events's reply:

    Thank you so much! You guys were amazing and I was thrilled to be part of your big day! Congratulations!!!!

    Sweet and reliable

    Ashley was a joy to work with and exceeded all our expectations. She showed ingenuity and creativity working with us on the decorations and was on point with the details and planning. We kept us on track, thought of all the things we forgot and was so sweet and kind during the process. I would highly recommend her services.

    Absolutely perfect

    We couldn't have asked for a better day of ! We had little knowledge of what went into wedding planning and Ashley helped us fill in all the gaps that we hadn't thought of. There was no such thing as a big ask, and she graciosuly supported us in making our wedding come to life. She supported us in everything from sharing favorite vendors in the beginning to helping us clean up at the end of the night. We felt so at ease as she handled all vendor communication and helped us finalize all of our details with the ever evoking COVID impacts. We would recommend her to any of our family or friends getting married in the nashville area. She recived a 10/10 from us!

    Ashley is a superstar! She made our wedding stress free!

    Ashley is endlessly capable, professional, reliable, knowledgeable and so joyful. I am the MOB and the month before the wedding she took over all communication with our vendors and made the lead up to wedding day stress free. She is lovely in every way and I give her the highest recommendation. She will definitely enhance your wedding experience.

    Our day was perfect!!

    We had such a great experience planning with Ashley with Sweet James Events. Ashley went above and beyond helping us organize our day. Her attention to detail and organization is top notch. She works very professional in responding to emails, phone calls, and handling vendor organization. Not an easy task in covid times. We could not imagine handling all the details without her. Planning with Ashley was such a blessing it makes us want to have a celebration all over again. Blessed to have her as part of our story.

    The BEST Choice!!

    We are SO thankful to have found Ashley and been able to work with her as our wedding coordinator! As a corporate event manager, this was by far my favorite yet most important event I have planned and was nervous about trusting someone else to take control BUT from our first phone call, she handled EVERY detail perfectly so that I could not have a worry in the world on our wedding day and I was able to simply enjoy it! I would work with, and recommend, her again and again! Thank you SO much Ashley!! ❤

    Amazing in every way!

    Ashley was wonderful and really made the wedding so seamless. We went with the month of planning and I was amazing at how much that entailed! She provided excellent vendor recommendations starting from the day we met. Then, month of she took over ALL communications with vendors which was a huge relief as life gets busy! Day of, neither me nor my family had to worry about any details as she handled it all! She was incredibly supportive of what I envisioned but also provided helpful feedback to make it even better (such as the timeline and floor plan). Everyone commented how helpful she was and I cannot imagine having done this without her!

    Highly Recommend Ashley!

    We highly recommend Ashley! We selected her event management wedding planning service and we wish we went with the full-service planning, that’s how great she was at handling everything. Before our first meeting she sent us a detailed checklist/reminder, including common things and small details we had not thought of yet. Ashley had previously worked with most of our vendors and in the month leading up to the wedding, she was our main point of contact for all the vendors. Any details we needed/wanted to change, we just went through Ashely and knew she would handle it, taking a lot of weight off our shoulders. Day of, Ashley was there before almost anyone making sure that everything was being set up smoothly. She made sure our day was seamless and allowed us to truly enjoy our day. We would highly recommend Ashley as she goes above and beyond!

    I didn’t have to worry about a thing

    Ashley and her team are awesome. I just can’t say enough. Everything ran smoothly & on time. My daughter had a couple of hiccups with her dress & Ashley even took care of it! Best decision to hire Sweet James! Thank you so much Ashley!

    Professional even when wedding was canceled

    Unfortunately, we were supposed to get married on April 3rd, 2020, but had to cancel due to the Governor's order of no more than 10 people at a social gathering. Even though we had to cancel, I still HIGHLY recommend Ashley and Sweet James Events. Ashley was so quick to respond to any questions that I had and was so helpful when giving me advice even when we were far away from the month-out point. She was so determined to help us every step of the process and I know she would have been the best wedding coordinator I could have ever asked for had my wedding gone as planned.

    Best decision EVER!

    I cannot even begin to describe what a blessing Ashley was during the wedding planning process and on our wedding day! She was so organized and made sure every detail I had envisioned was executed on the big day. I had a relatively large wedding plus a separate ceremony and reception venue and Ashley handled all of the coordination with ease and confidence. Ashley also went above and beyond with the time she spent with us during the planning meetings. Because of the time she spent not only helping plan but getting to know me — I felt more than confident and trusted that she could make any decisions that needed to be taken care of the day of without having to ask me. The wedding day ran so so smoothly and was even more perfect than I could have dreamed of! Hiring Ashley and her amazing team was the best decision we made!!

    Sweet James Events's reply:

    Libby! What an amazing day! I loved our time together and was overjoyed to watch you and Adam love each other so deeply and join in marriage. Lots of congratulations and hearts sent your way!

    Absolutely NO Brainer

    I would absolutely recommend Ashley to any bride! I like to think i am an organized person, but planning a wedding out-of-state can stress anyone out. Ashley and everyone at Sweet James Events were nothing short of amazing!

    Prior to my wedding, we met several times to walk through timelines to discuss exactly what we wanted and walk through the venue to see what could be utilized and where in the most efficient way. She was completely flexible and made sure that I was getting the most perfect wedding. She took over the conversations with the vendors which saved me which work picking up right as the wedding was nearing!

    On the day of, it rained (ah!) but we were able to make close calls and were able to keep the ceremony outside which was a main reason I chose that venue! I'm sure a lot of planners would have just "nope, it's too close" but she checked in every so often to make sure we were still good.

    And let's talk about the details of the ceremony and reception for a second - everything was perfectly placed - exactly what we had talked about. Her team had me and my husband's dinner waiting for us when we got seated after our dance so we could get some food before the stamped of people. They even had appetizers that we missed because we were talking pictures!

    Overall, worth every penny and more! This day should be spent surrounded by your family and friends and Sweet James Events allows your loved ones to be with you instead of focusing on the details so you don't have to!

    Cannot say enough about Sweet James Events

    Ashley was hands down, without a doubt, the best planner. She took all of the stress out of wedding planning, and made sure our day was easy, relaxing and fun. We met several times to walk through our plans, and I was always impressed that she had already thought of any problems, and always had solutions. When I revealed that I was stressed, without a beat she asked how she could help. We had a few last minute issues with our guests, and Ashley handled them with such grace. Her staff was amazing; you need to hire to Sweet James Events.

    Outstanding Wedding Coordinator

    Ashley Tidwell did an incredible job coordinating and helping plan our wedding. She helped us find vendors and organize the chaos before the wedding. She made sure all the details were in order and developed an amazing master schedule. During the wedding she handled everything with expertise, a professional attitude, and a smile. You should feel very confident if you choose to hire her for your wedding. She is first-rate.

    Best decision of our planning process!

    Ashley was amazing to work with! She was very responsive and always had different perspectives and solutions. She made the planning process much more pleasurable. Her team was very professional. Hiring a wedding coordinator was a great decision, but hiring Sweet James Events was the BEST decision! I remember at one point during my reception she noticed ALL the guests were on the dance floor, and although it was our "outlined time" for something specific she suggested I join in on the fun and soak it in. That moment is something I will always remember. I would recommend Sweet James Events to anyone in need of planning services!

    My fiance and I hired Ashley for month-of coordination for our September wedding. Hands down, it was the best money we spent on anything for our wedding. Ashley was a great source of information throughout our whole planning process, answering random questions and providing vendor recommendations. She took over all planning and vendor communication about 6 weeks out, starting with the most in-depth question session I could imagine. Our wedding day was executed perfectly - it looked exactly like I wanted. If there were any issues that occurred, I have no idea what they were, because Ashley was on top of everything the entire day. Our entire day went off without a hitch, and I am sure so much of that was having Sweet James Events on board. Thank you for making our wedding day the perfect day!

    Organized Chaos

    Ashley did a wonderful job maintaining organization and high spirits during a very difficult family situation. She made the last few months as painless as it could be in putting together the best day of our lives. 10/10 would definitely recommend her!

    Ashley went above and beyond for my wedding. Being a bride out of state she really took the time to make everything perfect and allowed me to now worry about a thing! I am so incredibly thankful to her- she really made my wedding dreams come true.
