Ashley M Chamblin Events

etails & custom elements that made our day truly unique to us. On the day of, she was incomparable, executing everything perfectly & helping us and all of our guests in her charming, calming manner. It freed us up to have a blast on the best night of our lives. Hiring Ashley was the best decision we made for our wedding, and beyond that she is an AWESOME person! :)

et for our itinerary meeting, helping us think through things we hadn't considered (bc, you know, we had never gotten married before. But Ashley knew the drill!). Ashley was always super friendly and pleasant to work with, and always on-task. She made suggestions, fielded questions, etc. She even had a sewing kit and sewed my bustle during the wedding after it broke. And, she helped organize and pack up everything at the end of the night. Truly, she was a gem!

that she could figure out what we wanted. She then created a detailed timeline for the wedding helping us make decisions on the timing for vendor deliveries, the best floorplan, and so much more than we even knew about before meeting with her. She was the main contact for all of our vendors, our family and our wedding party. The actual day of the wedding everything went very smoothly. A few issues came up, but she handled them effortlessly. She ensured that everything ran perfectly and on schedule. She has such a positive personality, it was so great to work with her. Our wedding was perfect and she made it so that we could just enjoy it.

at hung suspended above us like a magical wonderland of confetti. Not only did she deliver on a one-of-a-kind design, she was also incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional to work with. Every single person who came to our wedding had something to say about the pom poms, thanks to Ashley's genius. She elevated our entire event to a coolness that goes way beyond what we deserve. THANK YOU ASHLEY!!

, since up to that point I had been planning everything myself. It was so helpful to have someone else handle all the little details and coordinate everything in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to her. She handled e v e r y t h i n g, from making sure we ate and drank water during the day, to wrangling family members for photos, to making sure we got the sunset photo we wanted, to ensuring we got to try all our cocktail hour food, to probably a zillion other things I don't even know about because she handled them so flawlessly. Even if you've been doing most of the planning yourself and generally like to be in control, hire her. She's worth every penny!

e event flawlessly. We couldn't recommend Ashley more highly.

y. We hired her for wedding coaching, as well as for day of coordination. Each month we met with Ashley for an hour (or more if we necessary) and she laid out everything we needed to get done before the next time we met. After our meetings she would email us meeting notes with homework to keep us on track. She answered any and all questions we had, and she recommended vendors within our budget. At our first meeting, she reviewed everything we had already booked and created an entire spreadsheet with vendors and a budget (which we unfortunately did not create for ourselves). I definitely recommend booking Ashley as far before the wedding as you can because she will make your life a breeze! My husband and I live in CT so she was very flexible in scheduling time to meet with us on weekends or through Skype. In between our meetings she was also quick to respond to any questions we had. As the wedding got closer, she created a timeline for the day of and sent it to all of our vendors and our bridal party. Our day could not have gone smoother thanks to Ashley. We did not have to worry about a thing in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She was prepared for anything and everything with a bag full of any emergency items you may need (safety pins, scissors, etc.). She took the time to bustle my dress for me which was extremely tedious, and helped my grandma (who uses a walker and is not the friendliest) during family portraits. And to put the cherry on top, I collect rubber ducks and she got all of our vendors to sign rubber duckies that she gifted to us at the end of the night. I could not have asked for a better coordinator and there is no doubt in my mind that our day turned out so perfect thanks to Ashley.

ding up to the wedding melt away. Not only was she in contact with us (the couple), she was in direct contact with our families and wedding party, so that we could relax during the week leading up. We truly got to enjoy every moment of our wedding day, with no stresses or responsibilities for the bride and groom. The best part about it all - at the end of the night, we got to walk out with our guests to head to the afterparty. Everything had already been taken care of and there were 0 questions for us! Thank you SO MUCH, Ashley! You're the best. xoxo

cess, but I can't say how happy we were, and our guests were...thanks to Ashley and her team. The day was flawless and so amazing. She is so organized, and experienced. All grounds were covered, and her ideas and suggestions were spot on for our celebration. The most comforting thing to know about Ashley's experience was that she has worked with most of our vendors before. Big win! I commend her highly for all that she takes on, she is simply the right woman for the job!

nd she did. She was a perfect mix of being on top of things while still being relaxed and funny. She contacted vendors the week leading into the wedding (which was super helpful to not have to do that the week of our wedding) and she handled all of the little things that happen the day of your wedding like a pro (she even had our wedding party and family members on a group text, wrangling them all to get where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be—which was essential). Even though our wedding was small (75 people), she brought an assistant, which tells you just how much she wants to make sure everything went off perfectly. We'd recommend her 1000x over.

& Justin. Ashley is not only knowledgeable but very responsive and thorough during the planning process. She goes above and beyond the day of the event to make the day run smoothly. She certainly kept me on my toes and together we executed a flawless event . I look forward to working with Ashley once again - a true professional with a great personality to make your day a memory to last a lifetime!

that Ashley hears you. She really listens. But she'll also (gently and tactfully) redirect you if and when you need it—which we definitely did. She's unbelievably reliable and hardworking. Ashley is on. top. of. it...even things you never even thought of. She's EVERYTHING you could possibly want in a day-of coordinator/planner: organized, efficient, calming, in control. And she's also everything you could possibly want in a human: smart, fun, witty, easy to get along with. She's truly exceptional. If we got remarried 100 times, we'd want her helming each and every wedding.

and collective visions into reality. Ashley gets it. She understood us as a couple with remarkable ease, and it showed in every detail of our wedding. On the actual day of our wedding, I felt completely protected with Ashley by my side. She was able to predict all of our needs. She understood our families, and executed the entire night with magical precision. Ashley is the best of the best. She will get you, and make all of your wildest wedding dreams come true.

rong. But with Ashley at the helm, there were ZERO problems. NONE! The whole day ran so smoothly. We opted for the package where we could meet with Ashley once a month to help guide us through what we should be doing, buying, hiring, thinking about, etc. so that everything was in order by the time our wedding day arrived. It was also great because by the time the month of our wedding came around, she knew all of our plans and vendors, so that made it easier as well. On the big day Ashley made sure everything happened on time, the way it was supposed to. She dealt with all of our vendors so that we could just enjoy the night. She also made sure that at the end of the night all of our personal decor items and gifts were packed up and ready for us to take home - we didn't have to run around wondering if we had everything. Beyond being a stand out wedding coordinator, Ashley is also an amazing person. Fun, easy going, has great ideas, easy to communicate with and is someone you will probably end up calling a friend. If you're considering hiring her, DO IT! I couldn't imagine having thrown our wedding without her.

helped guide us through planning and executing our wedding and reception expertly and with an unbelievable amount of patience. She made the planning of the event fun, and made the execution swift and breezy. Her and her two assistants were like an invisible hand making sure everything moved smoothly. I would heartily recommend Ashley to anybody who wants to have the best possible wedding experience.

yourself a favor and get her involved as early as possible!

s involved in all the ways we wanted, and a bunch of other ways that we didn't even *know* we wanted but that turned out to be indispensable. Aside from perfectly planning out the timeline of the entire day to the smallest detail, she corralled all of our different vendors and rentals and got them sorted with minimal work on our part, and she kept the whole show running smoothly. She's incredibly thorough, but never in a way that even approached within 100 miles of "nuisance." She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wish I could have captured video testimonials from all the different people who complimented her handling of things throughout the day. She handled some, ahem, strong personalities with incredible deftness and humor, and my wife and I could not stop saying "thank god for Ashley." And personally, the best review I can give her is this: she never, ever added any stress to either the planning or the wedding itself. She only took it away, by great big heaping truckfuls. Your wedding is in great hands with her.

r timeline with us and illuminated all the little things we hadn't even thought of yet, and then she was ready for them. By the time we got to the day, we literally had nothing to do other than get married, which was perfect. All the vendors, the space, even the wedding crashers she flawlessly handled. She even made sure that when we ran out of bourbon, more bottles arrived and no one even noticed the hiccup. The next morning she sent us an email detailing what items were ready to picked up from the venue (which were very neatly packed and good to go). Not only was Ashley extraordinarily good at her job, she was also a great person. Very friendly, super cool. I cannot recommend Ashley enough. Easily the best money we spent on our wedding.

n - luckily for us Ashley was still available. She hit the ground running, helping us think through all the small (and big) decisions that factor into the day - and once we made a decision, we could relax in the knowledge that Ashley would make it happen. All of our other vendors were marvelous about the change of venue - but having Ashley on hand as a point person made the switch easier for everyone. Day-of, everything was in place, everything looked great, the dance floor was packed, the speeches were on time, and as far as we can tell our guests had as much fun as we did. In the days and weeks following the wedding we got a ton of kind words about how seamlessly the evening went, and those compliments are a testament to Ashley's tremendous knowledge and her unflappable charm and guidance.

annot imagine doing this without her. At our initial meeting, even before we'd decided to work together, she had a ton of ideas and suggestions for vendors and next steps. Later, at our big pre-wedding meeting, she sat with us and talked us through an incredibly detailed timeline that told us minute-by-minute where everyone should be and what they were doing. She made sure to follow up with vendors and family members to make sure they were looped in. All of this was invaluable. On the day of, Ashley texted us reminders about key parts of the timeline while she coordinated at the venue. During the event she was...I swear, ACTUALLY magic. Everything went like clockwork, and my new husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. From helping our officiant figure out how to fill out the marriage license to turning off the little lights inside of the mason jars so we could pack them up at the end of the night, Ashley problem solved in real time so we didn't have to worry about it. I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough.

and sensibilities, and above all...she makes you feel confident that she'll keep your wedding day right on track and running smoothly! HIGHLY recommend Ashley for this critically important role at your wedding. She's nothing short of awesome.

ofia and I knew that Ashley was the one for us from the very first phone call. If you're looking for someone: - Easy to work with - Tons of fun but very professional - With a personality that everyone loves - Who is über organized - Who has the natural skill of directing wandering flower girls during the walk down the aisle - Always available to chat through anything My wife and I looked forward to every meeting with Ashley during our planning. You'll always come out of a meeting feeling taken care of and have a clear understanding of what's coming and what you're supposed to do next. She gets your vision, makes it even better and always comes through with the right people to execute it. She pulled off a fantastic same-sex, multi-cultural wedding and managed to incorporate both our tastes and visions beautifully. She made our wedding such a day to remember that our friends and family are already asking when the vow renewal will be. Needless to say, Ashley will probably get a call from us whenever that happens.

other reviews, I agree with all the great things that were said about her. What I will add is that she has a great, even temperament, good sense of humor, is incredibly knowledgeable and has so much experience, that you can ask her anything and get a completely helpful answer. She quickly "got" us as a couple and was able to tailor her suggestions to fit us and always left space for us to go our own way. She has one of those event planning brains, is insanely organized, and made our day run so smoothly, you'd think there was no effort put into it at all. My husband and I are both planners and never usually turn "control' over to others, but neither of us gave a second thought to any detail that day because we had no doubt that Ashley had everything well in hand. (and we were absolutely correct) It would almost be worth it to get married again just to have an excuse to have this woman in our lives!! Thank you for everything Ashley!

ry about a single thing (and neither did my mother, which was equally as important to me). Ashley has such a great personality, and was such a pleasure to work with. She made sure everyone knew their roles, the venue was set up, and that our timeline was executed perfectly. Guests after the wedding commented on how great the "flow" of the wedding was, and so much of that was all thanks to Ashley. She had some great advice about the food service, speeches, first dances.. that all made the day that much more perfect :) Thank you Ashley <3

ur other vendors had worked with her before and had great things to say. Leading up to our wedding Ashley answered a lot of our questions and kept us on track, and our big meeting before the wedding helped us get organized and focused on what needed to get done. The Day Of she was incredible, always anticipating what we needed before we realized, answering all the bridal party and parents questions with definitive answers (in a nice way), and keeping us fully on schedule without us even realizing it, so my fiance and I could really enjoy every minute of our wedding. Would definitely recommend Ashley for anyone that is looking into a Day of/Partial/Full Planner, she was a pro and we are SO happy we worked with her!

op of it all. I seriously couldn't be happier with her attention to detail, managing all of our different vendors and producing such a seamless and fun event. Her professionalism and attention to detail helped to make our celebration even more fun, not to mention her fun, warm and calm presence. I HIGHLY recommend Ashley for your wedding or event coordinator.

ice, sat with us for hours to get our timeline coordinated, coordinated with all vendors and the bridal and groom party letting them know when and where they should be so I didn't have too, - helped remind of us of things we needed/forgot with a list of personal items to bring for our day. She helped set up all of our decor, provided us tools to help coordinate our seating chart. Most of all she kept everyone on time day of, she helped all of us walk down the isle appropriately, and even smoothed out discrepancy's with the priest since it was a Catholic wedding. She kept me and my husband, and everyone at the wedding, informed on what was happening next and where we should be without being pushy, she would guide people to their seats, she reminded the people who needed to do speeches they were up next etc etc She stayed until the last vendor was left (well after we had gone) and helped take everything down and payed out all our vendors so we didn't have to. She was so nice and in such a positive mood that I think she even made me less anxious before I walked down the isle- she was so confident that I didn't worry about anything. I would recommend her a hundred times over, as there are probably things she did to help us we don't even know about. She is such a beam of joy and I really don't know what we would've done without her! Thank you Ashley!!!

As design consultant she helped us turn our vague ideas about what we might like into our ideal wedding. At first I was skeptical about whether we really needed a design consultant because I didn't think it would be necessary for the simpler, smaller (80 guests) wedding we were picturing. But her guidance made an enormous difference in what we were able to accomplish and reduced our stress considerably. She also had a ton of great suggestions and insider knowledge that probably saved us more money than we paid her. As day of coordinator she pulled everything together leading up to the day and then did amazing work making sure everything went smoothly day of. We really got to enjoy our wedding without worrying because we knew she was on top of everything. In the end, we had a wedding that was better than we even hoped for (and, somewhat surprisingly, stayed within our budget). Thanks Ashley!

of utter chaos. What made her the perfect planner for us was that she went above and beyond the basics that any other planner could have provided: she was charming, funny, had an individual sense of style, and not only was she completely non-judgmental about our oddball non-traditional ideas, she was completely supportive and PUMPED about them. Ashley completely understood what we were going for and was full of helpful tips and suggestions to help us achieve our own individual event. Although I'm sure she was extraordinarily busy with the NYC summer wedding season in full swing, her patience and attention when we e-mailed or talked to her made us feel like we were her only client. All of our family and friends LOVED her and kept remarking to us on how sweet and hardworking she was. We'd recommend her services to friends or strangers in a heartbeat.

ped create a design that felt too good to be true. She created the most beautiful custom dreamcatchers, chandelier and pillows. I'm convinced there is nothing she can't make happen. She has so much knowledge and experience that it was well worth the investment. She can also help with recommending the absolutely BEST vendors. She really helped bring our dream wedding to life. We could not have done it without her. I definitely recommend putting your wedding plans in her highly capable hands!

that advice and found Ashley! There are so many moving parts and logistics to figure out – and having someone assist and handle issues allowed us to just enjoy the day and not worry. Just before walking down the aisle, the clip to my veil fell off – Ashley had a sewing kit handy and put it back on in a pinch. Totally saved the moment! We held our wedding (ceremony/reception) in lower Manhattan at a venue that has not done many weddings. Ashley was able to bridge the gap and everything went super smooth. Ashley is terrific! She is super organized, thorough and professional. She had lots of questions/recommendations/details for us to consider leading up to the day and was a great sounding-board. She also has a network of vendors of which we used a few and they were also great. If you are considering using a coordinator – you should just do it and hire her. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

d all of our vendors and ran our wedding day flawlessly. Everyone in our wedding party was so impressed with her & her personality--she was just so fantastic from the day we hired her to the end of the night. We would VERY HIGHLY recommend for your wedding/event!

e load off our shoulders. She was 100% trustworthy in making absolutely everything that we had dreamed of happen, and she did it with such a wonderful and bubbly attitude that we felt safe. We felt like our wedding vision was a bit different than everybody else's, but Ashley is such an amoeba that she can morph into any sort of task rabbit that you may need her to be. Planning this wedding was incredibly stressful, but Ashley made it the best night of our lives, and we were so very thankful to have her be a part of it. She's such a special person that makes everything organized and smooth, and does it all with a huge and genuine smile on her face.

s that we were unable to include the first time. Accordingly, we were trying to keep costs low, but it quickly became apparent to us that we would need an additional hand -- especially as our wedding would incorporate 2 venues, and the reception venue didn't have an in-house event planner. Enter Ashley. Recommended to us by a friend in the industry, Ashley was an immediate fit with our wedding planning, understanding exactly what we were setting out to do. She understood our priorities and goals, and worked tirelessly to make sure we accomplished them. She was tough and firm with us when she needed to be, and a reassuring presence when we needed as well. Leading up to the wedding, we had several in-depth meetings where we talked through some of the issues we were facing with the somewhat-challenging space we had, and also collaborated on a number of Google Docs, which kept us organized and all on the same page. The timing of our wedding meant that we were unable to help set up the reception venue as everyone would be at the ceremony. Ashley handled the venue set-up with aplomb, making creative decisions where needed. It was wonderful to walk into the space with everything as we'd imagined it, and then spend the next few hours without having to worry about a thing. Ashley even managed to squeeze in some additional dancing time for us through her and our caterer's efficiency. Ashley was a fantastic day-of coordinator, and, on top of all that, very reasonably priced, especially given the peace of mind that we got for it!

have ever imagined. We had germs of ideas of what we liked and wanted that Ashley turned into a fully bloomed vision—both through her own ingenuity and through the many marvelous vendors she recommended to us along the way. Her sense of humor and calm made everything easier. And on the night of the ceremony, Ashley saw to it that we enjoyed our own wedding—which we did!

ith relatively little stress and with lots of creativity on her end. Ashley helped us with the non-sexy logistics like day of timeline planning, and she did it with excitement. She also helped us put the look and feel of the day into a real decor plan and she even crafted original decor items for the wedding. She wrangled our vendors with ease and respect, and she allowed us to focus 110% on the day of. We had total confidence in her and knew everything would go smoothly. We had so much fun planning with Ashley and would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

helpful at helping us with all the small details for the wedding. As our day-of coordinator, she guided us through every part of the day/evening and we couldn't be more grateful to have had her with us!! xx

as both there for us and never in the way. Also, we did everything really last minute (we basically planned the event in two months), and Ashley was flexible with our needs and our timeframe. I would definitely recommend her!

g. And she genuinely loves what she does, it shows not only on her face but in the little flourishes she brings with her to the table. We had a very DIY wedding with lots of elements that all had to come together for the day of, and Ashley brought it all together without a hitch. She made the day flow so magically, knowing exactly when each moment should happen down to the minute. We felt like we were in the best hands possible with her and you will too! The best thing to feel on your wedding day is like you don't have to lift a finger or do any work and Ashley did just this, allowing us to focus on the celebration while she turned the gears in the background.

d beyond every step of the way. Our wedding had the potential for some logistical issues, as it was in a venue upstate with no equipment, furniture, or decorations, and vendors coming from all over the place, but everything went so smoothly! Ashley arrived on Friday evening and stayed through Sunday afternoon, renting a car and hiring a wonderful assistant, helping with the rehearsal dinner and the morning after brunch...she even drove up with us the week before for a site visit. She was totally on point dealing with all the big aspects of the day, and also super happy to help with the little details (like two outfit changes for our dog...he looked amaaaaazing!). Such a pleasure to work with. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

mother of the Bride, I cannot express how invaluable Ashley was! She orchastrated everything, kept everyone on cue without being obtrusive. We had a few minor issues that she handled amazingly and the day went fabulously. My husband and I were able to thoroughly enjoy our daughters wedding! Thank you Ashley for everything! Feel free to give my name as a reference!

rent Jewish rituals/traditions with ease, made sure the "little" day- of details (that we didnt think about!) were organized to a T, and ensured all the gifts, etc got back with us safely. She was an all around perfect day of planner - and allowed not only us, but also our family members to just celebrate, relax and enjoy the day. Couldnt have asked for better. ;)

super-organized and took a lot of the stress out of the final weeks of planning by composing a detailed timeline of the day, contacting our family and vendors, and making sure all of the little, last-minute details were addressed. She's a great problem-solver, and while nothing even close to major went wrong during our wedding, Ashley was on-the-ball in tackling a couple of minor twists that popped up, just as we knew she would. My wife Amy and I could not recommend her more highly as a day-of-coordinator.

most stressful things I've ever done, and Ashley knew that dealing with my family, budgets, and what felt like a million details was slowly driving me insane. She made me feel so much more relaxed than I ever could have been without her incredible assistance -- both before the wedding and on the day itself. She helps with everything you can imagine and more and truly thinks of everything. Her attention to detail, charming personality, and professionalism make the actual wedding infinitely more enjoyable for the couple, but what's truly amazing is her positive attitude on a VERY long and demanding day. I'm pretty sure she had weddings two days in a row after ours, but when we ran into her at the venue (while she was working) she was STILL in a good mood. How do you do it, Ashley?? Please tell us your secrets. Thank you so much for your help; it was invaluable! - Blair & Brian

help us make our ideas into a reality. She's highly organized and professional, and it is clear that she knows what she's doing. When our musician cancelled on us a few months before our wedding she was able to pull strings and find someone who could meet our budget while still doing an awesome job. On the day of the wedding she kept us both calm, relaxed, and having fun the entire day-- from set-up to ceremony to our end-of-the-night lavender toss. Everything flowed seamlessly and effortlessly. Seriously, everyone needs an Ashley on their wedding day!
