Ashley Vause Events

onths in advance, to coordinating the flow of the ceremony and reception, to taking care of the smallest details, AVE made sure my day was perfect! Ashley spoke with each of my vendors both weeks in advance, and the day of the wedding, to ensure everyone understood the timeline and knew the order of events. I would highly recommend this coordinator to absolutely anyone who is looking for quality assistance for his/her big day!

zing the details and vendor recommendations. On the day of the wedding, the AVE staff arrived early and coordinated all of the vendor arrivals and details so that we could enjoy the day without attending to the details. I was particularly pleased with attention to detail and friendliness of the AVE staff during the arrival of our 125 guests. I had several comments on the professionalism of the team from both vendors and bridal party members and family. The AVE staff kept the bridal party and groomsmen on track with timelines and ensured that vendors and bridal party members were in place at the appropriate times. The staff was there until the end of the evening assisting with details such as packing up gifts and checking with our venue on final details. I gladly recommend AVE to other brides and Mothers or Family who are looking for help with their big day.

sponsive. We had all of the details done, vendors booked, decorations bought/assembled, google docs shared. She just needed to be apprised of our vision, brought up to date about where we were and what the day should look like. We had phone calls, many emails & texts. We were excited to have her be part of our day. On the day itself there were issues (some of which are listed below). Given Ashley had 2 people on her team helping her, these should have been addressed and handled with more awareness, more swiftly & efficiently. 1) Her team was not introduced to us in any way shape or form. We didn’t know who the 2 members were and had to ask very late in the day because we wondered why they were just standing around. 2) Being a 2-bride wedding, one of the brides was in a different area and didn’t see Ashley (or team) until right before the ceremony at 4:30PM. 3) Head Table place cards were not put out. When this was noticed by us (right before the ceremony) we were told they didn’t know what those cards were for (!). They were later placed in the right order but backwards from what was stated on the google doc (which she had access to), so key family members were at the back of the ballroom and we had our backs to the majority of the guests. On the day frankly we don’t think she and her team were seasoned enough to deal with a wedding for 100 Guests. With 3 people on her team total (one if which was her husband) plus the venue coordinator, there was ample assistance to handle unexpected events, carry out the necessary details agreed ahead of time and to touch base throughout the day. What happened is frustrating because it could have been avoided (simple team intro and inventory of decorations for a start). Folks should understand Weddingwire have a word count when it comes to their reviews. There is only so much space to accurately reflect your experience. We thanked Ashley immediately after the reception because that's a very appropriate thing to do, and we genuinely felt thankful for her but it was only after my wife and I discussed the specific situations that occurred on the day did we realize there were real, genuine concerns there of her quality of service. Weddings are extremely hectic, you don't have time to use the bathroom never mind chat about things that went wrong. Ashley is simply not experienced enough for where she claims to be. We take reviews seriously because it's how consumers can make an informed choice. It's exactly how I chose every single vendor. While difficult to do, and while Ashley is very nice we feel it's important to be honest and share this feedback because it's not only relevant, it's true. We would recommend her but with strong reservations and only if you have the family or the time on the day itself to manage/oversee your expectations and what you ask of her (which we did not). Weddings are hectic. You need someone you can rely on, not someone you have to manage/oversee.

ate our day of services, Ashley was highly recommended by our photographer. I'm so glad we called Ashley. I've never met someone who is so passionate about what she does. From the moment we talked with Ashley, we felt like she truly cared about not only our wedding, but us as people. We had a few questions and needed recommendations and Ashley matched us up with awesome vendors. She stepped in and made sure our day was taken care of and it went by smoothly. I'm so grateful to have worked with AVE and definitely going to recommend her to other brides.
