Jessica Ashley Events

de, Jessica was with me from day 1. I had no idea what I was doing and was overwhelmed before even picking a venue. Jess put together priorities and to-do lists for me so I would know what needed to be done first and foremost always, depending on where we were with the wedding timeline. She researched and identified all vendors & options for me and helped me make every decision (since I was FREAKING out about nearly every one!). She always made me feel on top of things and brought up so many details I would have never thought to cover had I been flying solo. Jess always made herself available to help (even after just having a lil baby!) and was SO responsive (email, text, FaceTime, calls, you name it!) no matter the day or time. With her connections to incredible vendors, I got the PERFECT photographer (he literally sent my photos within a week and they were flawless), wedding cake artist, and even got some discounts because of JAE. All of my bridesmaids that have been in weddings before commented on how smooth Jessica ran things. She made everyone feel calm, cool and collected and demanded the attention of a very distracted 19-person wedding party during the rehearsal and pre-wedding rundown. She RAN the show flawlessly! My husband told me he was SO glad we had Jess. He's not the type to notice details in weddings, but he beamed about how great she was and how well she ran the day, and was thrilled with the level of service he knows she provided to me (weekly calls, color coded emails, gorgeous moodboards, warm texts and motivation!). It was the best compliment and means so much coming from him <3 Another quick level-of-service item to point out - the caterers got back to me last minute letting me know the signature drinks were ago (like literally the day before); Jess was in the hotel internet center PRINTING GORGEOUS SIGNATURE DRINK SIGNS SHE DESIGNED, PRINTED, TRIMMED AND FRAMED THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING, FOR ME! If that doesn't scream dedication to client service and an honest passion/care for your clients happiness--I don't know what would! It meant so much to me. Let it be known too that Jess did the impossible: learned how to destress and calm down my Mom. She truly deserves an award for this! Lastly, and VERY importantly - NOTHING went wrong or not according to plan. My vision was 100% spot on. Everything was pulled through exactly how I wanted it thanks to Jess and her team. She is AMAZING with a capital A. "The best ever" doesn't even begin to describe her and her wedding planning super powers.

e, greatest wedding they'd been to. Bridesmaids were all extremely impressed with how easy and flawless the wedding was. I would highly recommend using Jessica Ashley Events!

sion for this vintage and travel inspired wedding. Both my fiance and I love to travel and I pick up any crystal or silver item I can find when we do and I wanted to incorporate that into our day. I often bite off more than I can chew and my wedding was no exception. Jessica was there though every step of the way though to help organize me, the long list of vendors I had and execute an absolutely perfect day that ran like clock-work. To say that I asked a lot of her with my "vision" is probably an understatement. I had custom table settings, tons of decor that also needed setting up, my own alcohol that needed to be organized with the caterer and all of that stuff was mostly in a closet or a uhaul and had to be carted up in an extremely slow elevator. It was a lot, and if I could do it all over again, I would have both paired it back and organized it better - but if Jessica was stressed about it, I could not tell, and the end result was everything that I could have imagined. Not only does this show how organized and professional she is - but it indicated to me that she listened and really heard me when I was explaining what I wanted to express through my vintage pieces and decorations. That for me was very important, because, as the bride, you can't control the day. You have a million other things going on and you cannot be there to set everything up and ensure the flow of the event - you have to trust that the people you work with listened to you and care enough to deliver on that vision you had. Given my experience with Jessica and the perfect day that she gave me, my trust was not misplaced. I would recommend that any bride, looking for someone who will carry their own vision through one of the most important days of their lives, also put their trust in Jessica. She is a remarkable person and planner!

ica sent out thorough emails to the bridal party, answering all questions months/weeks/days out. We were a large bridal party and some wedding-party-rookies and she made everyone feel confident and relaxed during the rehearsal and wedding. The bride gushed about hiring Jessica and said she was absolutely worth the investment (finding vendors within her budget and thinking of things she never would have thought to do). I couldn't recommend Jessica more - sets a very high bar for a perfectly smooth wedding day and a friendly supportive person behind it :)

, and had so many great ideas when working on the timeline and overall wedding design. And she always responded to my texts/emails almost immediately! She completely understood my vision and helped me bring it to life! On the day of, Jessica was such a calming and positive presence. She made sure every detail was perfectly in place and flawlessly handled any issues that may have came up on the wedding day. It was truly a stress-free day! While I only hired Jessica for month of coordination, I wish I had found her sooner! I will miss working with Jessica and our coffee dates now that the wedding is over!

were able to enjoy every minute of our day! If you’re looking to have a stress-free wedding, Jessica Ashley Events is fantastic! Thank you so much!

etc.) as well as the small details that we had no idea about. She was even able to get better rates on some large ticket vendors. On rehearsal day she was there getting everything and everyone organized on time. On wedding day, however, super woman arrived A.K.A. Jessica and created our vision and more. Organized to the "T" from getting the Ceremony, Reception and Bridal Party Suites decorated, to making sure we all were on time for everything, to contacting all family/friends/vendors. I forgot so many small detail items at home and Jessica had it taken care of. I remember having a fantastic time at the wedding and the best part not having to worry about a thing. Jessica is professional and wonderful to work with.

a partial coordinator in addition to day of coordination. Jessica was ALWAYS responsive with any questions we had during the process. She had many suggestions and was instrumental in helping us find our DJ and Cakes by Marium who did my daughter's cake and all the desserts. Any idea I had I would run it by Jessica and she was always honest with her thoughts, ideas and suggestions. Jessica also did an exceptional job in mediating situations between my daughter and I. Jessica was EXTREMELY patient with both of us always helping the other see the best option. She was great with my daughter who completely trusted Jessica because she understood my daughter's vision for the wedding. As we got closer to the wedding, Jessica coordinated with each of our vendors and we had a lot. She communicated with them as far as when they would be setting up and the roles during the wedding and reception. In fact there was one vendor that was not easy to communicate toward the end. I had several phone appointments with him and was stood up. I turned him over to Jessica and she handled making sure he accomplished what we needed. I completely trusted her. The day of the wedding was not an easy set up as it was an outside wedding and the forecast was rain. Jessica and her assistant knew how much my daughter wanted to be married outside. Two hours before the wedding they made a gutsy decision to set up outside and if it rained they had a back up plan because we had rented enough chairs four our 200 guests. The rain held off for the ceremony and my daughter had the wedding of her dreams! Jessica and her assistant worked so hard the day of with set up and making sure everything ran smoothly during the wedding and reception and oversaw all the clean up. She was amazing!

endeavor, which at that point was questionable. From initial contact through to the end, Jessica's overwhelmingly calm confidence was the rock on which my sanity rested. She "got" my vision and managed to gently recommend me out of some questionable ideas I manifested along the way. Every step was planned, prepared, and executed flawlessly. I was just over a month out and hadn't even sorted out half of my vendors, Jessica was able to sweep in and leverage her vast network to come up with not only available vendors--but vendors within our budget. If I had a question, concern, gripe, crazy thought--her response time was fabulous. And she managed both my complete wedding planning disorientation as well as my mother's incessant questions (sometimes repeatedly) with a cheery grace that honestly just made everything ok in the world. On our magical day Alicia was everywhere yet invisible. Any time I had a "wait, did that get done/setup/whatever" pop up in my head the answer was always "Yes" practically before I could even finish. The setup went flawlessly, everything looked perfect, and she was right there out of thin air to hold my hand through each step of the way. I feel blessed to have found Jessica Ashley Events. Do yourself a favor and trust someone absolutely capable to take care of all the details. The end.

y helpful solutions. She found us a wonderful baker, transportation for our bridal party, and so much more. On the day, she handled and coordinated all our vendors seamlessly. If there were any problems, I didn't hear about them - it was like magic. Everything just went so smoothly. If I could go back and do it again, I would have hired her to plan the entire thing!

She made sure everything ran smoothly and was done how we wanted it which was very nice. Thank you again Jessica for everything.

f my wedding than I am. She goes above and beyond to make sure your vision and day are exactly what you want. My day couldn't have been more prefect because of her!

ome up with she has helped me figure out the details - she even helped me find a great videographer - plus made sure everything stayed within my budget. At first I was hesitant to book a planner due to budget - I hadn't planned on it - but she is worth every penny. This process has been nothing but enjoyable - thank you Jessica for everything!
