I can’t recommend Ariel Ashton Events highly enough. Hiring Ariel and her team was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Ariel’s expertise in event planning is second to none. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in e...very aspect of her work. In less than a month, and in the face of a global pandemic, Ariel and her team took what was going to be a quickly thrown together mess into a wedding beyond our wildest dreams, even pre-pandemic. Ariel made us feel special and cared for throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail, positive attitude, strong work ethic, compassion, and kindness made our wedding a special day we will tell our children and grandchildren about for the rest of our lives.
After we had to cancel our big reception one month before our wedding date due to the coronavirus pandemic we somehow had to create a new celebration for immediate family only. I was disappointed that the fairytale wedding I’ve dreamt about my whole life wouldn’t happen and lost as to how I was going to replan even the basic details of a new ceremony in a month.
Then I found Ariel through Tents Party Rentals and everything changed. From our first conversation, Ariel put me at ease and completely took the stress out of trying to throw together a last minute celebration. Ariel jumped into action right away, spending hours on the phone with me (and my mother) coordinating every last detail. She visited the new backyard “venue” on a Sunday, her only day off, because that was the only day my husband and I could make it since we’re out of town. She followed my Pinterest board to get a better understanding of what atmosphere and decorations I wanted, and then took it upon herself to come up with new ideas that fit into my dream. If she didn’t already have decorations that fit into the theme, she created them by hand. She brought things to my attention that were so important, but I never considered. She handled details at all hours of the day as they came up to make sure we had a special day. All of this within a month’s notice!
The weekend of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about anything. She and her team were at the venue the night before and bright and early the day of, setting up decorations, coordinating with vendors, setting the tables, and handling all the last minute details the couple shouldn’t have to think about on their wedding day. Ariel and her team transformed a suburban backyard into a gorgeous, rustic, romantic wedding venue that our guests are still raving about. Throughout the ceremony and reception, they followed strict safety guidelines and made the celebration look seamless. They stayed until late at night making sure we didn’t have to stop our wedding early to break things down. I’m sure they did many things we don’t even know about to make sure the day went smoothly for us and our guests.
I have already recommended Ariel Ashton Events to every person I know in the area planning an event. My only regret is that I didn’t find and hire Ariel and her team sooner.
