Ashley from RANE Designs was our day- of coordinator for our wedding this past June. She was extremely helpful, accommodating, thoughtful, and professional. She went above and beyond to make our day special and offered great advice during the planning process. The best decision we made during the wedding planning process was having her plan our day! I would give her 10 stars if I could, I highly recommend Ashley!
As a wedding vendor for DJ Entertainment Amarillo, I work with various vendors each week. I've had the pleasure of working with the fabulous crew from Rane Designs at several weddings and receptions around Amarillo. They are extremely detailed and great to work with throughout the night. If you are looking for a planning and coordinator for your big day, I highly recommend them.
We just got married at the Horseshoe Knot Event Center, and Ashley, our day of-wedding coordinator, was an absolute dream! From the moment we met Ashley, it was clear that she knew the ins and outs of the Horseshoe Knot Event Center like the back of her hand. Her connection with all of our other vendors was simply amazing. It's like they all spoke a secret language that kept everything running as smooth as butter! She was always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concerns we had, consistently checking in with us, and doing everything she could to give us as much relaxation time and get-ready time as possible (she decorated, communicated with all vendors, steamed all outfits, brought food and drinks to me, helped both brides into the wedding dresses, bustled our dresses and helped in any way she could. She truly saved our wedding and made it the magical amazing experience that it was if I could change anything on my wedding day she would be the last thing I change! She had a cool, calm, and collected vibe that made us feel at ease during the entire planning process even when our original photographer canceled on us seven days before our wedding! On the big day, Ashley kept everything running smoothly even when the weather refused to let the wedding happen exactly according to plan but Ashley tracked the storm and got our dream wedding to happen between breaks of thunderstorms, and managed to make it all look so easy. She and her team were everywhere at once, making sure that every detail was perfect and that we were having the best day of our lives! If you're getting married at the Horseshoe knot (or anywhere, really) we highly recommend Ashley! She's a wedding superstar, and we can't thank her enough for making our day absolutely perfect!
Any questions?
I feel so grateful to have had Ashley as my wedding planner. From her kindness and patience, to her creative eye and ability to think fast in high-pressure situations, she was a lifesaver throughout the entire wedding planning and execution process!
I didn't hire a wedding planner form the start. I thought I could plan it all on my own and rely on friends/family to execute everything the day-of. I know that was naive, but because of this I became extremely stressed with the whole process which just made my fiance and I dread the whole thing. When we hired Ashley, I felt like I could be a joyful, giddy bride again and for me, that meant everything.
We had a lot of changes to our event last minute, and she gracefully mastered every element. Don't make the same mistake I did, hire a planner, and if you're smart, you'll hire Ashley with Rane Designs!
I don’t even know where to begin with Ashley. Probably because she wasn’t just my wedding planner, she quickly became a friend. She made my wildest dreams come true and so much more. Professional and personable, a hard worker and the best cheerleader on your big day. I count myself lucky to have been able to work with her. I will forever recommend her and RANE!
I wanted to be able to wake up the day of the rehearsal and not worry about anything from then until after the wedding and really enjoy time with our guests. That’s where Ashley came in. She handled all of the communication with our vendors, all of the set up and tear down of not only our decor, but also the decor we borrowed from her. She created a timeline for us and was so sweet about not making it feel like we were being pulled in all directions. We were able to fully relax and trust that she knew what we were supposed to be doing. I didn’t look at a clock all night, but she had us right on track.

I am so happy to hear this, Brooklyn! That is exactly what we aim for. You and Jake were so great to work with, and y'all made it easy!
Ashley McCallister was nothing short of a God-send. From the moment we met her, it was evident that we were in the most capable hands. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawlessly executed. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and organized professional to guide us through our special day.
Ashley went above and beyond our expectations from the beginning by crafting a detailed and down-to-the-minute schedule for our wedding day. She left no stone unturned, ensuring that every moment flowed seamlessly into the next. And just when we thought her organizational skills couldn't get any better, she surprised us with a contingency plan for every possible scenario that might arise. Her foresight and preparedness gave us tremendous peace of mind.
For example, two moments from our experience with Ashley perfectly encapsulate why she is a must-have for your wedding:
First, about a week leading up to our wedding, Ashley was calling all of our vendors and ensuring that would be ready and prepared for our day. When she called the company that was catering our food, they told her that we never booked with them. Ashley calmly called a contact she had from another wedding she did, and almost immediately ensured that we had food, caterers, and people to deliver the food to our venue. She didn’t even give us time to be stressed about it.
Secondly, on the day of the wedding, as the groom, I discovered a stain on the rented suit that I had somehow missed during the fittings. Before panic could even set in, I simply texted Ashley and she came equipped with a bag of emergency essentials for every thing that could possibly go wrong. She had literally thought of everything, and again, before I could even be stressed about it, she whipped out a tide pen and resolved the issue in no time. Ashley quite literally prevented any and all stress on the day of our wedding, and I can’t even begin to explain how much it means to us.
But Ashley's excellence extended beyond her extraordinary organizational skills. She was more than just a coordinator; she was a true friend throughout the process. Her infectious enthusiasm and genuine care made her an absolute joy to work with. She brought a sense of fun and positivity to the wedding preparations, which made the journey even more enjoyable. It felt like we were planning the wedding with someone who genuinely shared in our excitement.
The wedding day itself was a testament to Ashley's brilliance. Despite the inevitable last-minute changes and unforeseen hiccups, she handled everything with grace and poise. Her ability to pivot and adapt on the spot ensured that every challenge was overcome seamlessly, leaving us free to savor every moment of our special day.
I honestly cannot imagine how our wedding would have unfolded without Ashley by our side. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only exceptional at her job but also becomes a cherished friend in the process, Ashley is the one. We cannot recommend her enough, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought into our lives on our wedding day. Thank you, Ashley, for making our dreams come true!

Christian, you have the sweetest words! You and Madison were amazing to work with that you made my job easy! It was a pleasure to help make your vision a reality and ensure that everything ran smoothly. It was an honor to work with such a wonde...
rful couple and witness the love and happiness that surrounded your wedding.
Oh my goodness! Save yourself the time and stress and choose them now! I primarily worked with Ashley over zoom in the preparation stages but I did get to meet Kelsi on the day of. From our beginning meeting to discuss my vision and plans, to the very end, they were wonderful! It was like working with friends in that they were very easy going and blended in so well with everyone. They handled my very large family like champs. They made some magic happen for us and created a venue from scratch. Plan A and B fell through, so we went with Plan C. No, we did not have a plan for Plan C originally so we made it up on the fly and they rolled with it and made it perfect. Everything from the table set up, the plates, centerpieces, layout...everything was all them! They didn't let me do hardly anything to set up and made sure I enjoyed the day! They truly thought of everything. Anything we needed or didn't know we needed but did, they were prepared for! They have a decorating package where you have access to a list of items they've accumulated and it saved us so much time and energy. We didn't throw anything away including flowers, which I felt much better about than buying a bunch of things to only use once. Ashley recommended so many vendors who all worked out beautifully and were absolute professionals. They've continued to be helpful with questions I had post wedding about storing dresses and saving bouquets. These ladies were an absolute GODSEND to us. You won't regret going with them!

Thank you so much, Brittney! I enjoyed bringing your vision to life, especially the big arch piece. You and Allison made my job easy!
Who doesn’t want a stress free wedding day? We couldn’t have imagined our big day without Rane designs! We hired them as our day of coordinator only, but it was by far the best money spent throughout the whole process. Ashley was phenomenal to work with, and I recommend her and her business to all of our friends and family who have weddings coming up. From directing the rehearsal dinner to ensuring every last detail of the wedding day was picture perfect what we wanted, Rane designs did it all and then some.

P.S. Your mom is amazing! She was the absolute sweetest.

RANE Designs has been my dream ever since I was ten years old watching Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner. I was enchanted by how she managed to make any hiccup in the day disappear in a flash. Planning and organizing are things that I genuinely enjoy. Working with my mother-in-law for six years at the flower shop she owned in Idalou, I enjoyed transforming brides' visions into a reality for their wedding day. RANE comes from an acronym of my husband's, mine, and our two children's names because I could not do this without their support and encouragement.
