Aced Events

Ashley was so kind, relatable, but I could also tell Ashley was dedicated, creative and a hard worker. By working with Ashley for two full years, especially through a pandemic that created such uncertainty, I can attest to Ashley’s dedication, creativity, and hard work. A wedding is stressful enough to plan, but through a pandemic let me tell you that process is much harder. Whatever the pandemic threw at us, whether it was to postpone or not to postpone, to have an inside wedding verse outside wedding, Ashley never failed to be such a helpful level-headed sounding board. I can honestly say because of Ashley making these types of decisions never felt too much. I felt like I could handle them because Ashely was so supportive. Now let’s talk about Ashley’s creativity….! WOW did she make our dream fairytale wedding vision come true. I literally cried when I saw the tent for the first time on my wedding day because it was so beautiful. It was amazing to see Ashley really actually understood the vision and made it come to life so perfectly. Now I know there is no such thing as perfect, but honestly everything about our wedding came together so perfectly because of Ashley and our team. From her recommendation to do a couch verse regular chairs at our sweetheart table, to combine bistro lights and gorgeous chandeliers as lighting for the tent, to her recommending oars as our “guest book” for keepsake instead of a regular guest book, and navy napkins instead of white napkins. Every single suggestions and idea Ashley had truly added such great value and made our day so much more special. Day of Ashley was a ROCKSTAR. As a bride it is important to stay stress free and relaxed. Because of Ashley’s hard work, dedication, and organization I literally never felt stressed out or rushed. Not only did Ashley nail the timeline and keep everything and everyone on track, it was the little things for me… Ashley had my lip gloss in her pocket and was constantly replying for me LOL thanks Ash 😊 Guests usually comment on how great the food is, and how great the entertainment is, but our guests not only complimented those aspects of the wedding, but they even commented on how amazing Ashley was. I think that says a lot. I can honestly say Ashley became more than just a wedding planner she became part of our family. When it was time for Ashley to leave our wedding, it was so hard for me to say goodbye to her I basically teared up. I truly miss our late-night planning phone calls, and all the fun we had planning the wedding. I keep joking around with my husband that we need to throw a wedding every year so we can work with Ashley (and maybe I will LOL). Seriously though, look no further for a wedding planner. Ashley will not disappoint she will make your vision come to life and run the wedding day so smoothly.

ctions (at the time) we had to move our wedding reception outside to accommodate our guest list. Ashley was an absolute miracle worker. Within less than 6 months she coordinated everything for our tented wedding. She was attentive, so beyond kind, and a blast to work with! On our big day Ashley and her amazing interns took care of everything, it all ran so smoothly. Afterwards, many guests contacted me saying Ashley was a delight and was such a professional, wonderful wedding planner. I could never in a million years imagine going through this journey without her help and guidance. Throughout the process she became like family to us. Don’t think twice about booking with her, because she will make your dream wedding come to life!!!

ep the ever changing scene moving forward. Ashley had it all! Met every deadline, produced top notch vendors and saw the couple's every request come thru. I never believed much in magic wands - this lady has magic hands. Aced it!

nd on emergency orders for public gatherings like the weather. Oh yeah, by the way, don't forget to keep your eye on the weather. And a tent. Maybe a few tents. Who the hell knows at this point? Amidst all the chaos and the tender loving reminders from your future father-in-law that it was you who perhaps waited a bit too long to propose, thereby landing you in this quagmire, you're suddenly planning a Covid wedding. Sounds a bit like a nightmare, right? Now take a deep breath, and open your eyes... It's the morning of your wedding. It's a bright sunshining day. Your bride is radiant. The ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. And it's all thanks to Ashley and her hardworking team at Aced Events. All you had to do was wake up, put on a tux, and enjoy your big day. From decor, to vendors, to timeline, Ashley takes care of it all so you and your bride don't have to. Whether it's bringing your bride's Pinteresting wedding mood board to life, to rounding up lost groomsmen bellied up at the bar for a scheduled photoshoot, she takes the vision in your head and turns it into the wedding of your dreams. Don't be a DIY dummy. Save yourself a lot of headache and heartbreak. Get Aced!

forced us to make significant changes to our original plans. We cut our guest list to adhere to the guidelines but started to feel hopeless and helpless with how the rest would come together. Before our first call had even ended, Ashley expertly navigated the situation and began to find the strings to untangle our web. She supported us every step of the way. She elegantly designed the EXTRA tents we scrambled to find just a week before the big day. She’s a walking definition of “works well under pressure”. Even with the limitations of timing and ever changing state guidelines that no bride, planner or vendors dealt with before, Ashley never said no to an idea we had and she made it all happen. She has a network of talented vendors that all adore her. She knew exactly who to connect us with based on our vision. We asked and she delivered. Picture this: we entered our reception space to see a romantic, candle lit and chandelier-donned tent. The lyrics to our first dance were hand written on a large mirror. Petite handwritten scrolls with each guests name were hanging off the champagne glasses that were perfectly displayed on my dream boxwood wall of bubbly. She nailed all of the jaw dropping details that had our guests “ooo-ing” all night. Ashley is a true professional that knew what we wanted and had the event running smoothly so I could focus on my groom and guests. We got to experience the true magic of the Aced Events coordination. They delivered the wedding day of our dreams!

final walkthroughs and made sure everything was exactly how we had pictured it. She is very organized, on time and extremely thorough! We got very lucky to have Christina help us plan our day, she went above and beyond in every way and we absolutely cannot wait to work with her again next year for our formal reception!

immediately understood the vibe we wanted and gave direction on how to make our wedding day reflect who we are as a couple. She remains down to earth while also being incredibly organized, professional, and ready to handle anything. On our wedding day, Ashley and her assistant Christina made the whole event run smoothly while my husband and I got to enjoy the party. I could not recommend Ashley & Aced Events enough!!

out a doubt she was one of our strongest and most vital part of our wedding planning experience. Upon our first sales call with Ashley, I felt instantly at ease and she was so genuine and friendly that I felt as though she was a longtime friend. I knew that I could not only trust her to handle the logistical details of our wedding, but that she would offer wonderful and valuable insight as well. Ashley handles everything with such elegance and effortlessly--from following up with hard to reach vendors, to providing my now husband and I advice on day of logistics. The month of the wedding, she handled all emails from our respective vendors, and we were so thankful to have her as a mediator. It is said that wedding planning can be a stress and hassle, but I can genuinely say that I did not feel that way during my process, and all that is due to the wonderful Ashley. On the day of the wedding, Ashley delivered 110 %. From organizing the timeline with all our vendors, to making us feel at ease, she was truly a godsend. Our wedding day was stress-free, and all that is due to Ashley. We truly could not imagine going through the logistics of our wedding day without Ashley by our side, and for that we will always be grateful. And on a side note, Ashley is so fun, real, down to earth, and genuine that you can't help but become her friend. So throughout this process not only will you have a wedding coordinator, but you will leave with a friend as well. Please book her, she is worth every penny and more!!!

nd kept us sane. We knew that we were in good hands with Ashley. We loved her positive and personable approach and her attention to detail is unreal. Thank you, Ashley!

re. But Ashley handles it with a calm head and made our wedding the best night of our lives. I highly recommend using her for your wedding planning needs. Thank you Ashley!!!!

es and it's not only inspiring, but it sets her apart from other planners. When I have a couple who is using Ashley for their planning and coordinating services its always a huge relief for me because I know that everyone is going to be happy and stress free and that the day will run smoothly. I don't even ever recommend any other planners to my couples because nobody else gets the job done as well as she does!

s stupendous: organized, meticulous, knowledgeable, diplomatic, and a pleasure to work with. She takes the stress out of planning, and keeps calm and upbeat on the very day. She helps make a rare event the milestone it should be.

yond to make sure I thought of all details (including things I never would have thought to plan). She scouted photo locations and last minute bakeries for us! Having her on my team made the weeks leading up to the big day as stress free and easy as possible. My family could not believe how calm I was and it was because I had full faith that Ashley had things covered - and she did not disappoint! The day of wedding went seamlessly - Ashley kept us all on the timeline and even made sure my husband and I were fed and happy. Ashley and her team were able to quickly resolve the few hiccups which occurred without even breaking a sweat. If you’re looking to have a stress free, amazing wedding experience, you need to book with Aced Events!!

so happy to have her. Would recommend her 100%!

was one of the best decisions of our wedding and I am so grateful we had her. I would have never been able to plan and execute my wedding without her!! Highly recommend!

ing day... Cut to the month before the wedding, and I quickly became aware as to the value in hiring Aced Events, and how incredible they were in helping make what is an extremely stressful time, essentially stress free. Ashley is incredibly thorough. Her experience as a planner and event coordinator shows in her meticulous approach. She handled every single vendor; photographers, Dj’s, venue, makeup artists, hair stylist... The itinerary flowed perfectly, and she designed it to our exact needs and requests. One of the most difficult tasks a bride and groom have during a wedding is keeping everyone in line. From family members, groomsmen, bridesmaids, and all other guests, it can be quite difficult to keep everyone organized. Aced events makes it their mission to keep everyone organized, and they execute it seemingly with ease and a professionalism that is unmatched. As is to be expected, not everything goes according to plan on your big day. There was a moment on our honeymoon where my wife and I were looking back at how incredibly smooth everything went. We quickly realized that there were multiple potentially disastrous moments that were intercepted by Ashley and her staff, and they made sure these problems were fixed before they became problems. This is something I would recommend making a must have in your wedding budget. Aced Events is without a doubt the reason we were able to enjoy our wedding day, and now have these incredible memories to share with our children and family members.

s with my husband and I on the phone and in person. She connected with all the vendors and also had 3 way conversations for hours which were so helpful because everyone was on the same page. I had a few melt downs that Ashley fixed right away, one specific melt down I had was loosing the glue to hold my dress in place, there were no bridal stores that had this glue except the store I found it at in me jersey. so she hired an Uber driver to go get it an hour away from our venue and had it here in perfect time! There is no way our wedding would have gone as smoothly, ashley kept everyone in order, and everything was perfect!

ackage timing was never restrictive for me, as I reached out several times in the year leading up to the wedding for vendor recommendations and quick advice via email and Ashley always provided me with great advice! Once the 8 weeks rolled up, we dove right in and she helped to tie up any and all loose ends, coordinated all vendors leading up to the day and did some great research/leg work on some various ideas I had but never executed. I'd like to think I was a pretty on-point bride and I enjoyed everything about the planning process...EXCEPT for the last 2 weeks where I was utterly overwhelmed with the stress of it all. The help, guidance and relief that Ashley provided in those two weeks alone were worth every penny of our package. Once the big day rolled around, Ashley hooked it up, put out fires and kept us on time and under control. We had THE best day and looking back, I'm so thankful that we were able to let go of the stress and coordination and was able to just enjoy the day with my husband! And a note on our wedding to give you perspective - we had a tented Greek wedding of 300 people who LOVE to party, so it was basically a quadruple whammy of planing and execution. Between the tented wedding coordination madness, a huge and rowdy guest list and crazy, big family, I know it could not have been a walk in the park for Ashley day-of. However, you never would have known since Ashley and her team were graceful under pressure and always professional. TBH, I wish we could get married again so I could work with Ashley again. It was truly a pleasure and worth every. single. penny. <3

cannot say enough about her! She spent so many hours with us either chatting via phone or via email talking through all of the design elements and logistics of our special day. Her eye for design is unmatched, it's seriously amazing! Right after we got engaged, I ran to Pinterest but I quickly becamse so overwhelmed with the different color schemes, themes, table settings, florals, venues: the entire process that I knew not only did I need a wedding planner but also a wedding designer, too. You'll get the best of both worlds with Aced Events! The really cool thing I loved about working with her is that she becomes your friend in the process. She's so personable and she's your #1 cheerleader, always advocating for what's best for not only your budget but also what's best for your dream day. Ashely, thank you! A million times over! We wish we could do it again! xo

tion skills and always kept us in the loop of what was next on our wedding agenda. They also made things so much easier for us and kept everything calm.

She was so helpful with dealing with the vendors ahead of time, coordinating everything day of, making sure I didn’t worry about anything that popped up, and worked wonderfully with our families and the party. And she’s very good at driving a golf cart! She did an incredible job!

The best" wedding they have ever attended. As a "late bloomer" (last one of my friends to marry) there was a lot to compare to. And what's more amazing is these comments came not only from our 20 and 30 something friends, but also parents and grandparents. This was thanks to Ashley and her great ideas in making our wedding unique and her attention to details to deliver on those ideas. She literally thought of everything and everyone in attendance. Furthermore, are you on a budget? We definitely were. Not being able to justify spending a down payment on one day, Ashley was ABSOLUTELY HUGE in offering creative ideas for how we could deliver a memorable wedding on a budget. This thanks to her experience, and the connections and network she has in and around Fairfield County. I would highly (highly) recommend Ashley and Aced Events!

or our special day! J&Z

oughout the planning process and especially the day of our wedding 8-18-18. She is very knowledgeable, professional, sweet and amazing at her job. Everything went perfectly on our wedding day because of her-Highly recommended!!!

s very accessible throughout the process and kept a detailed timeline of all events that were to occur. All vendors that were involved the evening of the wedding (although all strangers) worked together as a team because of Ashley's hard work. Highly recommend Ashley for her attention to detail and professionalism.

ing present at our wedding. Ashley thought about things that we didn’t necessarily think about. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything went smoothly but also knew how we wanted the day to go and was not too pushy - everything happened the way we wanted it to. It was a pleasure working with a true professional.

unce of our wedding and be present with our guests! I would highly recommend Ashley. I was stress free the day of and it was worth every penny!!!

anger, but from our first phone call about a year before my wedding, I knew I would be in good hands with hiring her. Where other coordinators just sent a list of services and prices, Ashley took the time from the beginning to discuss my wedding and needs. When it came to actually coordinating, she was a pro. From a difficult venue to me changing some details last minute to running to get bobby pins the morning of, she calmly handled everything I threw at her. At one point, during the wedding, there was an issue with the food service at the venue. Ashley went above and beyond and began carrying plates to guests herself to ensure everyone was served. Words just can’t describe how thrilled I am that I hired her to bring my wedding vision to life. Thank you for everything! -Angelica

s leading up to my big day! My bridal shower was spectacular! From the desert table with my favorite macaroons to the signature butterfly cocktails, she nailed every detail! And my bachelorette, was nothing less than amazing. Ashley set up two vineyards to visit and have tastings at, as well as a picnic lunch from NYC! And what pairs best with wine?? Yup that's right a stripper! But not just a stripper, basically we had someone to talk with us about our horoscopes! And it kept us laughing through the night! All in all I was able to set my worries aside and Ashley made both my events run smoothly. Ashley was kind and thoughtful and most importantly organized and the best at paying attention to detail! Make sure you book Ashley for your next event that needs planning/organizing! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Ashley!

rganized. Because our wedding required a lot of DIY and hands on care, we really relied on Ashley to bring our vision to life on the day of the wedding. There were a lot of moving pieces. We had numerous vendors and boxes of decor. We really couldn’t have done it without her! Everything was just perfect! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

ey was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. She was always there to give advice and suggestions. Ashley went above and beyond and truly helped to make it a smooth transition when my husband and I had to pull out of our first venue 8 weeks before our wedding date. We had to switch every little detail- from the rentals, to the food, to the logistics. It was a heavy lift and could not have been done by us alone. I was constantly impressed with the level of effort and attention to detail (and to timelines!) Ashley provided. This carried over from the planning stage to wedding day where she really focused on making sure my husband and I were taken care of and able to enjoy the greatest day of our lives. Ashley and Aced Events, thank you for being a huge part of our special and memorable day! It would have not been the same without all of your help!

t, keeping everything together and running smoothly. From the beginning, Ashley was on top of things. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made the process run much smoother than it otherwise would have. She put in tireless hours for us, and went above and beyond what I thought someone in her role had to do. She truly and passionately cared about me and my wife's experience and wanted the very best for us. She had the patience, organization, and grit to ensure everything got done on time and in a proper manner. I am truly grateful for the time and effort Ashley put into our wedding. It was not easy as we switched venues late in the game, but she was able to help keep it all together. There are so many moving pieces planning and running a wedding. Thank you Ashley so much for helping make our day as special (and organized!) as it was.

l your being told or pressured into making a decision, Ashley works with your every decision with an open ear and open mind. After all it is "your day" and this is something Ashely stands true to and will continue to remind you of it. She will make sure that both groom and bride have equal say in everything. Ashely goes above and beyond expectations. Whiteout her we would have been completely lost. The amount of detail that goes into planning such an important day was well overlooked by my wife and I, but Ashely was there to make sure nothing was missed. Our wedding day turned out far better than expected. This would not have been without the help of Aced Events. Thank you Ashely!!!

artial wedding planning, But she was there to answer any little questions we had before the 8 weeks she took over. We had our first official call 8 weeks before the wedding and after that call it felt like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. We knew we were in good hands. She followed up with vendors that I couldn’t get in touch with. Being that we were having a tented wedding, that meant every little detail was on us. We had to provide Everything! From table arrangements to seating arrangements, Ashley was on top of it. We knew the visions we had for our wedding would come to life. Sure enough it was better than we could have ever imagined. The wedding day was smooth and we did not have to worry about 1 thing. Ashley is so helpful, punctual, a visionary and one of the sweetest people we have ever met. I described our wedding day as Perfect when people asked how it went. That would not have been possible without ACED Events.

outside of our budget. However, as our wedding day inched closer it became clear that in some aspects of planning, we were in way over our heads. We were busy, our vendors were busy, and the overwhelming stress was really taking the enjoyment out of our journey. That’s where Ashley from Aced Events came into the picture. One aspect of wedding planning that I did not take into consideration is the timeline of the day itself. This timeline is crucial and each vendor also needs to be on the same page, which is an email nightmare in the last two weeks of planning. Ashley executed our timeline flawlessly and efficiently in the most professional way. A few of our vendors were a bit late getting back to us regarding the finalized timeline, and Ashley’s skilled communications with the vendors allowed our stress to melt away. Ashley also put together the bridesmaid’s Glam schedule, the schedule for the groomsman, and photographer. Ashley’s impeccable scheduling techniques are matched only by her astute attention to detail. Her professionalism is unparalleled. As a bride, I can tell you that there will be small issues on your wedding day. I can also tell you that if Ashley is on your side, those issues will be taken care of quickly and easily. Ashley will make you her priority and she will fight fiercely to make your vision a reality. I highly recommend Ashley from Aced Events to handle planning and timeline for anyone’s big day. I honestly attribute the smooth execution of the events leading up to my wedding and the day itself to Ashley and Aced Events. Thank you, Ash!

were making the right decisions. Confidence that we were not missing any details. Confidence that “our day” be would executed to “our vision”. The last thing you and your partner need on your wedding day is to be stressing about vendors, details and the problems that will arise. You should be enjoying the moment and each other with the confidence knowing that Ashley has everything covered.

de the day of as stress-free and seamless as it could possibly be, and all the while was incredibly easy to work with and pleasant to be around for everyone involved.

alls without batting an eye. Guests blew through the tequila before the end of happy hour? Don't worry, Ashley's already got a local delivery service on the line to restock before dinner. Family members taking their sweet time getting to their seats for dinner? Ashley plays the role of shepherd well. The day went so smoothly that it was easy to forget about playing hosts and just enjoy ourselves. My wife and I area already scheming to ensure that Aced Events is the go-to for planning and coordinating for all of our yet-unmarried friends and family members.

ile. My mother and I had been very involved in the early planning, and were able to truly relax the day of with full trust in Ashley and her team to execute our vision for the day. She was quick to respond, had great suggestions and really made me feel so relieved on the day of, because everything was taken care of.

r. It was truly a pleasure from start to finish. She made us feel confident and relaxed going into our wedding day because we knew she had every detail ironed out and every scenario thought through. We didn’t worry about a thing… except getting married! Not only did she help us rent a tent with walls and heaters rather last minute, after the nor’easter revealed that it wasn’t properly secured, Ashley took charge and arranged for the rental company to come back to our venue and fix it immediately. Ashley took care of everything for us and completely nailed it. We can’t recommend Ashley and her team enough!

second because she was on top of everything. The day ran like a dream and she made that happen! We can not recommend her enough and wish I had more reasons to work with her!

y for us! She understood our goals, and worked tirelessly to make sure our wedding was beautiful, cost effective, and seamless. She came up with unique and helpful solutions to any problem that arose, and went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly what we'd envisioned. Plus, she is efficient, reasonable, and tons of fun!

vents myself I had high expectations and Ashley so far exceeded those expectations that there are no words. My Husband and I agree that our wedding could never have been the perfect day that it was without Ashley and that if any couple ever questions whether to get an event planner the answer isn't just yes, but rather YES, YOU NEED ASHLEY!!! Outside of how happy Alex and I were with Aced events services, all of my guests were able to tell that the level of detail and care taken by Aced made the event one for the books. There are not enough words or ways to say that Ashley was amazing and the single best vendor we hired for the wedding! Thank you a million times over :)- Amanda and Alex

with. She is so attentive to her clients. We worked really well together and she was very cooperative in terms of realizing the job of a Florist. Yet she was always able to balance her understanding of what I had to do with what her clients needed. She really watched out for them. She is not only very comfortable to work with but very detail oriented and flexible. Do not even think - book her today for your wedding.You will be very pleased George Vallo Surroundings Flowers

ust 2 weeks before her big day! She was so thorough with my wedding, she made sure the vendors didnt bother me, (at one point I was getting dressed and the flower vendor called and she grabbed my phone and took care of it! haha), had this extremely detailed itinerary for her entire team and made sure everything was perfect. She treated my day, and I'm sure everyone else's day, like it is her own. I cannot recommend her enough. Just by talking to her, you get this awesome take charge sense and it makes you feel so much less stressed about literally, one of the most nerve wracking days ever! All and all, Ashley is amazing, she will make your day more perfect than you can imagine!!!!!
