Ashley was amazing and so helpful! She was organized and experienced. She made a formal outline for our wedding day, contacted vendors, helped set up and break down the venue and so much more! She really did make my wedding day a breeze! 10/10

Ashley at Social Conceptions is an absolute dream to work with! We started planning my wedding almost 2 years ago with a ton of stop and go planning due to Covid and she never missed a beat. She help me put together the perfect team of vendors...

, and kept me up to date on every decision I needed to make. Even though I was one of those brides who had no vision for what I wanted my wedding to look like, she took what tiny crumbs of ideas I gave her and made it look stunning and fit us to a T! The day of my wedding ran so smoothly, it was unbelievable. By the time I heard about any kind of hiccup (that every wedding is bound to have) she already had it solved! I would recommend her in heartbeat to anyone who asked. Thanks for a perfect day!

of wedding planning I didn’t know, and Ashley was right there checking-in frequently and making sure we were checking off everything that needed to be done. Replanning a wedding around COVID was added stress, but Ashley was reassuring and supportive during the entire process. I genuinely could not have done it without Ashley’s help and support and would recommend her to any and all brides!

Ashley was a gracious, thoughtful, and accommodating wedding planner every step of the way. Our wedding was non-traditional in many ways, including our venue which was not a venue at all, but rather a community farm. Ashley helped us build the ...

wedding from the ground-up, anticipating our needs, and always found a way to make our wacky requests work. Her connections to other local wedding vendors was invaluable, especially for us as we were planning the wedding from out-of-state. We were especially thankful for her day-of services; she ensured that everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about any details. I would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone planning a wedding in the Greensboro area!

I got married at my dad's property outside of Greensboro, NC but planned from NYC. Ashley was essential in making sure the day went off without any issues. From catering to rentals to florals, Ashley honed in on my wedding day vision and made...

Ashley did a wonderful job making our big day as stress free as possible; including executing a great last minute rain plan (the weather didn’t want to cooperate with us!). The planning meetings went smoothly, and she really made the entire pro...

cess easier. Looking back, my main regret is that we didn’t hire her for the full planning package – it would have saved us a ton of work. During the walk through and discussions with other vendors, she was a good advocate for what my wife and I wanted. I really don’t think that the wedding would have gone as smooth as it did without her and will recommend her to anyone.

Last minute, seat-of-the-pants planning. Her entire philosophy seems to be "We'll figure it out the day of the event". She actually said these words during the venue walk through. That's her plan - just to react to problems on the spur of the...

moment instead of planning anything in advance. Friday night *after* the wedding rehearsal, Ashley was busy calling vendors trying to find a cordless microphone for the wedding toasts, something that could have/should have been done months in advance. Never found one. Didn't measure the outdoor tables to figure out if they'd fit inside in the configuration that we discussed for the rain plan. They didn't. Wedding guests were sitting outside on the porch for dinner. On the one and only document that *was* done in advance, she couldn't be bothered to spell the bride's father's name correctly (either first OR last name). Hello? Who is paying you? Very bad.

Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2018

Thank you Linda, I always appreciate constructive feedback. Because the Bride and Groom signed my contract and paid for my services, I was obligated to their wishes and instructions. They were very pleased with my services (please see above rev...

iew). We definitely had a second venue tour where the rain plan was discussed extensively and we determined to get everyone seated, we would need to place some guests on the covered porch for the dinner portion. There were also several meetings/calls held with the Bride and Groom and sound options were discussed. I was not contracted to secure sound for the event but I had no problem calling the band and discussing sounds options with the band after the rehearsal. The sound issues during the wedding were due to the band's equipment becoming damaged in the rain. Our clients also received a detailed timeline, a questionnaire and a google drive full of different planning documents that can be utilized that they are welcome to share with anyone they wish to have it. I do sincerely apologize for misspelling your husband's name on our internal timeline. I received his name from the couple through verbal communication and I should have verified the spelling. The good news is that his name was simply on the internal timeline so I would know his name in case I needed to speak to him during the event and no one outside the vendor team and the family had access to this document. This is obviously not the outcome I want for you to have experienced but I did do my best to advocate on my client’s behalf, making sure that the Bride and Groom had the wedding that they wanted. I’m pleased to see in their review that they did.

About 2 months out from the wedding I had a little realization that, although I had all the vendors booked, how would I be able to organize them all on the wedding day? I needed a wedding coordinator. Fortunately, Ashley at Social Conceptions...

was available on our wedding date. Ashley was very thorough and easy to communicate and work with. She makes sure you have everything ready to go for your big day! Ashley really made our wedding flow seamlessly. She was super organized. I loved that I didn't have to put out our personal items like our favors, escort cards, guest book etc. and that she handled all of that. She even packed up all of our personal items in our car before the send off. My husband and I were able to have a stress-free wedding because she took care of all the logistics and coordination of the vendors and wedding party. I highly recommended hiring Ashley to coordinate your big day so you can enjoy every moment!

, quick to respond to e-mails and texts, had great ideas for planning and conceptualizing the "flow" of the wedding day, gave great advice all along the way, helped us stay on track with planning, and was always open to answering our questions and meeting with us and vendors as we planned out our wedding day. When we were a few weeks out from the wedding weekend, we met with Ashley one last time so we were all on the same page and after that, she literally took it from there to confirm payments, plans, timelines, etc...with all of our vendors and it made for a completely stress-free few weeks leading up to the big day. Ashley was so attentive to our wishes and when it came time to execute all of our plans that we worked so hard on, Ashley and her team were flawless! We had a guest list around 275 and a large bridal party and Ashley was able to give direction, while still allowing everyone to enjoy themselves and ensure that the day we envisioned became a reality. We highly recommend Social Conceptions and Ashley Boykin for any of your event planning needs. You will certainly not regret it.
