Ashley was amazing and super easy to work with! We wanted a planner for the last month of details, organizing our timeline, and working with our vendors and she absolutely nailed i...
t! Ashley is super attentive to detail and has everything organized down to the minute, which was perfect for me. I knew I did not have to worry about anything once Ashley arrived at our venue the morning of our wedding.
We had a lot of details the day of our wedding that required extra care, and Ashley never missed a beat. She is also incredibly professional, charming, and an overall happy person that brings a calming and cheerful presence the day of. Ashley made sure we had everything we needed before we even realized we needed it. She was there fixing my hair before the ceremony, and let me know the second I could take off my heels! We are so happy we chose to work with Ashley for our wedding and cannot imagine the day without her! Highly recommend Ashley for all your planning needs, you will be super happy you did!
Ashley did an amazing job as our wedding coordinator! From the time she started, she was always a phone call or email away and helped with so many different areas. Coordinating ven...
dors, creating timelines, and seamlessly organizing the day, we couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend!
When I first started planning my wedding, I thought I wanted to do it without a wedding planner. Fast forward a few months and I realized that the stress of all the little details ...
was catching up with me and I decided to hire Ashley as our day-of coordinator! From our very first phone call, Ashley was not only knowledgeable and competent, but so kind and easy to get along with. Whenever I had a question or was stressed about something, she was there to help.
Ultimately, we were so happy with how the day turned out. One of my concerns for the wedding day was that I would need to be on my phone making sure that everything was going as planned and I can honestly say that I did not look at my phone once throughout the evening, as Ashley took care of everything. Throughout the evening Ashley helped usher guests between the various spaces, helped with special requests from my family members who were giving speeches, and even had chairs ready to go for us when it was time for the Hora.
I don't have a very creative eye and honestly wasn't sure what our reception space would end up looking like and left several of the details for Ashley to take care of. For example, I ordered two different sets of runners for the tables and let Ashley choose which ones worked best with the rest of our décor. During our "room reveal" (an idea that Ashley came up with!), my husband and I were blown away with how beautifully the space turned out.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, Ashley!
Coming up on our first anniversary, we’re reminiscing on how beautiful our day was, how smoothly everything went, and what an incredible time we had with our friends and family. An...
y time we chat about our day, Ashely’s name comes up. We are so confident that our day would not have been anywhere near the same without her planning, guidance, and expertise. As a bride, it’s so easy to become insanely overwhelmed with all of the moving pieces of planning a wedding, and even more so how we’re going to handle it all on the day. Ashley took every hesitation, every question, every stressor, and completely removed it from us. We chose to get married at a more unique venue, and Ashley helped us handle every hurdle that came with that. On the day, she took everything out of my hands and didn’t let me worry about a single thing. All we had to do was show up where she guided us, and follow her plan of action. We couldn’t imagine our day being the same without her help, and continue to preach that hiring her to help us plan was one of the best decisions we could’ve made. We would happily recommend her to anyone who asks us.
When I got engaged, I didn't know where to start. Enter Ashley. HANDS DOWN the person who single handedly made my day go perfect. She was there from day 1, helping to keep me on tr...
ack & not let tasks slip in-between the cracks. She brought ideas to me that I would never have thought of, and those ideas made my wedding stand out. She was always an email, phone call, or text away - any day, any time. I said to my bridal party numerous times throughout my wedding day how I don't know what I would have done without her. She was at my prewedding meetings, she emailed all of my vendors, did all of the follow ups, and dealt with any issues that I did not want to deal with. She made sure everything was handled. She was also on site the entire weekend, and came to my Air B&B to bring my rings, take my dress, steam my veil, you name it. Not only is she an amazing wedding planner, she is the best person. She is the sweetest and easiest person to get along with, and she CARES. That is what makes the world of difference, she cares. She is also so down to earth and relatable, and that made our meetings together enjoyable and fun, and not something that felt like just another task I had to get done. I received so many compliments from my wedding guests, and actually some of the venue staff, that my wedding was one of the best that they have attended. I can honestly say that it was because of Ashley. If you are looking for a wedding planner, she is your girl. Trust me. I can't thank you enough Ash!
If there was an option to give Ashley 10 stars, she would get it! Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about Ashley. Planning a 170 person wedding during the hype of COV...
ID was not easy.. however Ashley made everything possible. She was so attentive, creative, responsive, calm, and organized, I knew I had everything under control because of her. My guests were in awe with how amazing our wedding day turned out all thanks to Ashley. It was truly a fairytale!
We hired Ashley as a day-of coordinator for our wedding and couldn't be happier with our decision to work with her! As a fairly organized person with a vision for our wedding, I d...
idn't feel the need to hire a full service planner, but wanted someone to help finalize all of the details and execute the event. Ashley far exceeded our expectations in every aspect! From the initial planning meeting one month prior..to frequent (more like constant) communications leading up to the wedding, Ashley was extremely helpful. Her soft, yet stern personality was the perfect balance for us as we navigated final details with vendors, and lined up our final timeline. She executed the wedding day with perfection. We highly recommend Ashley for all of your wedding coordination/planning needs!!
Ashley was a God send when reimagining our larger wedding to a pandemic-sized event. Not only was she extremely professional but she was kind through the process of planning, espec...
ially when I had no idea about specific regulations or how to proceed. She responded quickly and honestly when emailed or texted and she was often one step ahead of me when thinking of questions to ask to coordinate the other vendors. She remained calm, flexible and sweet, which is exactly the energy I needed around me during planning and the wedding day. With her, our wedding day kept exactly on the timeline we planned for which allowed me to enjoy the day with minimal stress or concern about what should be happening next. She is worth every penny, she allowed me a calm planning process, especially that dreaded last 30 days and she executed my wedding day exactly how I hoped it would be and there was not a single detail missed or out of alignment.
I began working with Ashley from Ashley James Weddings & Events several months before our big wedding in June was supposed to happen. When corona hit, she was the one who inspired ...
me to still have our wedding. It may have been a lot smaller than what we hoped for, but the day was beyond beautiful and it was the best decision she helped us make. Ashley helped make my vision come to life. She is incredibly organized and very on top of everything. She helped take so much stress off my back the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend working with her. We even hope to work with her again for our big wedding. She is amazing and so professional. You will not regret working with Ashley from Ashley James Events!
