Ash Events

I cannot say enough good things about Ash Events and all their staff, specifically Ashley and Callie who we worked closely with. My husband and I hired Ash Events to help us plan our ~200 person destination wedding in South Carolina and ~50 person rehearsal dinner. We are from Massachusetts and only made a couple of trips down to Pawleys Island during the two years we were planning the wedding. Ashley recommended amazing vendors in the area, managed all our contracts and kept everything so organized. She was very responsive whenever I found something new to stress over. By the time our wedding day came, I was able to completely relax because I had complete faith in Ashley and Ash Events to deliver us the wedding of our dreams. Callie worked with us for our rehearsal dinner and made everything run perfectly. I truly felt like I had known these women my whole life and they were helping to make one of their own friend's or family member's dreams come true. The kindness and professionalism is something I will always remember. I 10/10 recommend for any event! I hope to have to use them for another event in the future :)

Where do we even begin?? We first learned of Ash Events through a friend and immediately clicked over our initial call. Chelsea was such a dream in planning our wedding (all the while planning her own!). When we first chose to get married at Atalaya Castle, we knew there would be logistical challenges planning from Virginia, especially given all of the coordination required for a wedding in Huntington State Park. Any worries we had quickly melted away with Chelsea’s unbelievable attention to detail and commitment to our vision. She was amazing throughout the process, and went above and beyond in the final weeks and day of coordination. There was nothing she didn’t have covered, making it so easy for us to just enjoy the day and be present in the moment. We cannot recommend the Ash Events team enough. They were a true blessing and we are so thankful for everything they did to make our wedding everything we hoped.

Can’t express how grateful I am for Callie and the Ash Events team! They were able to pull off a beautiful ceremony and reception at a private property and bring our vision to life. They helped us stay under budget and handled logistics in a way that made the process and the big day very relaxing. The week and day of especially were a breeze thanks to Ash Events. They handled all vendor communication and all we had to do is enjoy. They even took hundreds of pictures and videos and shared them with us immediately after as we waited for our professional pictures… a huge bonus I wasn’t even aware of when we decided to work with Ash Events. Hire Ash Events - you won’t regret it!

Callie and the team were a Godsend on our wedding day! We originally worried about the price but they are worth their weight in gold! From setting up our venue, to handling vendors and everything in between. They put all of my worries aside for me on the day and I was able to enjoy my day! If I had it to do all over again, I would have hired them for more than just month of coordinating. I couldn’t thank them enough!!

Ash Events is the way to go when it comes to planning your wedding! From beginning to end, they helped us pull together our beautiful wedding in 3 months. Ashley is thorough and we worked primarily with Chelsea on the day of who showed up ready to go. She was instructional when needed and forceful with the oblivious hotel staff to “get *** done”. Even guests made comments about how awesome she was at keeping the flow of the wedding running smoothly. Ash Events goes above and beyond and we highly recommend them!

I don’t have the words to describe how wonderful Ash was on our wedding day and throughout the entire wedding planning process. As a couple planning a Charleston wedding from Michigan, we prioritized having a full planning package. However, we never could have imagined how incredible Ash (and the Chelsea’s, who assisted day-of!) would be – The Ash Events Team is worth their weight in gold. As a Type A bride myself, Ash’s level of organization immediately made me feel at ease. She provided us with curated lists of vendor recommendations, which made nailing down these crucial pieces from afar a breeze, and who all exceeded our expectations on the big day. Throughout the planning process, Ash was always available to answer my questions (no matter how small or silly), listened to every idea I had, and worked to make it possible. She also crafted a PERFECT timeline for our wedding day… Seriously, even some of our vendors were mentioning to us how relaxed the day was. I would be remiss to not mention the million little things Ash and her team did throughout the day to make it THAT much better – Saving hor d’oeuvres for my husband and I to snack on during photos, having our favorite cocktails waiting for us at the end of the aisle, holding down my dress to get the perfect sunset photos, and even laying out our After Party outfits in our hotel suite. Ash truly goes above and beyond and allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day, soaking in every moment. On top of everything, Ash’s team managed to capture over 500 pictures and videos of our wedding day that she sent to us the very next morning, allowing us to relive the day over and over again. We received so many compliments from our guests on how well-executed the day was – We’re not entirely sure how we would have pulled this off without Ash and her team (and we honestly had SO much fun with them!). I could go on-and-on, but if you are reading this and you haven’t sent that inquiry e-mail yet, do it now… We love Ash Events!

Working with AshEvents is an absolute delight! From start to finish, the collaboration of our styled sessions and working together at the weddings were seamless and exceeded my expectations.

AshEvents is providing outstanding wedding planning services! Ash and the team always demonstrates unparalleled expertise and dedication. Their meticulous attention to detail, flawless coordination, and creative touch turned every wedding we worked together into an absolute dream.

AshEvents made the entire process stress-free not only for the bride and groom but for the entire wedding vendors crew, ensuring that every aspect of any celebration was seamlessly organized. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence truly set them apart. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that will exceed your expectations, AshEvents is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Callie as our wedding planner, and we cannot thank her enough for the outstanding job she did. Callie ensured that every aspect of our special day ran seamlessly. What set her apart even more was the consistent feedback we received from our guests, who all complemented her professionalism and efficiency. We were able to fully enjoy our celebration knowing that every detail was in capable hands. It was such a pleasure getting to work with Callie and I am so thankful that I booked with Ash Events! We will always recommend Ash Events to couples looking for above & beyond wedding planning!

Where do I even begin!! We worked with ASH Events in December and I can’t even express how grateful I am for these ladies. A planner was not exactly a priority in my budget so I was looking for the best quality for what I wanted to spend but I ended up choosing to put more towards this service because I quickly realized how much planning a wedding entails and ash events delivered!! I needed someone there for me all day and it was worth every bit! Chelsea was my main girl, and her her team made everything flawless. We had a rehearsal the night before that she attended and I didn’t have to worry about one single thing on my wedding day from start to finish. Greeted with our drink of choice right after our ceremony and photos, food plates made and delivered to us at our seats, etc. When our special day was over we got in our car and rode off, it was packed and ready. I can honestly say this was my dream wedding and I wouldn’t have changed one thing! All my fairytale princess dreams came true thanks to them! I can’t say enough good things about this team of ladies!

I decided to have Ash Events plan our wedding after meeting Ashley at the Bridal Expo. Callie was our coordinator and she was exceptional. It was like having a BFF planner. She is caring, well mannered, honest and responsive.
Let’s talk about this killer Google Drive they share with you that has checklists, items to complete in a timeline, suggestions, deadlines, directories and more. It was easily my most used document center of 2023. I still use it to find the instagram and phone numbers of the particular people that were helping us plan the wedding.
There were many aspects of wedding planning I didn’t know and understand like getting vendors' schedules to them, proper count of goods like flatware, glassware, napkins/tablecloths, obtaining event insurance, etc. Callie was willing to explain what I needed to do and then created a task list in 1, 2, 3 order each meeting of what needs to be done and prioritized it.
The rehearsal was seamless, including the rain plan. Talking about it broke my heart since the whole week was sunny and 65, but Callie and the event site coordinator, Julia from The Village House seamlessly discovered the best rain plan, presented it to me and it was perfect. They agreed to call the wedding by 9:00 AM whether to set up inside or outside and it was done. No more decision making for me, I was free to be a bride and enjoy my weekend.
Callie was at the event site nearly the whole day, organizing the florals, shooing Matt off while I wrote my vows, telling vendors where to go, rearranging furniture, fixing us food and drinks, coming in with fashion tape, holding my dress while changing, running interference, and she packed up our cars at the end of the night! We were so over the moon happy with Callie! I’d say “I can’t wait to do it again” but that’s not going to happen. However, I can’t wait to have Callie plan an anniversary party or big birthday bash for us in the near future!

Ash and her team were seriously amazing! They took over the wedding coordination for the month of our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From taking over communication with vendors to her day of coordination, Ash and her team made the whole thing go as smooth as possible. She was incredibly responsive before the wedding with any questions and even helped us navigate a few post wedding things. My wife and I joked that they were so prepared and intuitive that they knew what we were thinking before we even did. They even provided us with around 900 of their personal photos from the day so we’d have them. It was such a personal touch. We were so happy with Ash and her team and they seriously gave us our dream wedding. We cannot recommend Ash events enough!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Ashley and her team were not just on our wedding day, but throughout the whole planning process. Ashley has such an eye for detail (even the smallest ones) she went out of her way to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. Since I’m a teacher, it’s hard to do meetings during the week or respond to texts right away or meet with vendors during the week and Ashley accommodated to my schedule without any hesitation. Her and her team are so sweet and so easy to work with. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect. Shout out to Callie and Paige for putting up with my husband and his groomsmen and for making sure I remained calm and distracted from the fact that it was torrential down pouring all around our wedding venue the day of the wedding. Also, thank you to the assistant who went and got my husbands wedding gift for me that he forgot at home. If I could give more than 5 stars I 100% would. Thank you AshEvents for planning the wedding of our dreams.

Ash Events was the best decision we made with wedding planning. We are from Boston and chose to get married in Charleston, SC. Planning a wedding so far away during a pandemic was so much easier than I was anticipating thanks to Ashley. Throughout the entire process ashley was so communicative and detailed with each meeting. The wedding rehearsal and day of prep by Ashley and her team was nothing short of amazing. They were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire day. They had everything put together and it was better than I imagined. I can not recommend enough using Ash Events for weddings or any other parties. I can not recommend Ashley enough!

Finding Ash events was the best decision! I remember talking on the phone in the car at a soccer practice feeling more at ease the more she talked about her services. I told her I wanted the full package! Boy did she deliver! I knew what I wanted and she and her team walked me through step by step. Organization is not something unfamiliar to them at all! The day of the wedding I felt like I was so special and important. Ashley made sure I had some very special ladies all day with me. Callie is the sweetest person you will ever meet! Rock star at wedding dress buttons and Bustled that train like a master! Brooke as Sara had the most patience with my family while taking pictures and got some of the best behind the scenes pictures and videos. Chelsea, made sure this bride and groom were fed and had a drink at any moment and was the most attentive during the sneak away dinner with my new husband. Even those small details at our little table that I had no idea they would do, made our day! If you are thinking of a wedding planner, look no further! These girls are top notch! I only wish I could do that day all over again! Take a shot with the team at the end! They deserve it! This is what your wedding should feel like! Thanks Ashley, Callie, Chelsea, Brooke and Sara! Best day ever!!!

Ash Events was such a pleasure to work with. We used their month of service and it was such a relief to pass everything to them a few weeks before. I knew I didn't have to worry about anything - they had such great relationships with all the vendors we were using, were so familiar with our venue and were so easy to communicate with. Simply cannot recommend them enough! We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day because of Ash Events.

We cannot say enough great things about Ash Events. From the very beginning we knew Ashley and her team were the right people to bring our vision to life! We were lucky enough to be their only wedding that weekend so we had the whole team there helping and cheering us on. We had a smaller wedding of only family and a few friends at Brookgreen Gardens. We were completely lost on vendors before our meeting with her and she hooked us up with all the premier vendors in the Grand Strand and Charleston areas. We had the Event Management package that included the Month of Coordination services. This plan worked best for my now wife and I because we both wanted to be very involved in the planning and coordinating process. We worked with Ashley back and forth with questions that came up and she was always helpful and delighted to be of assistance. I have never seen a team handle logistics on the week leading up to our wedding and the day of better than this team. We did not have to worry about anything the month of and was only bothered with logistics when it was a last resort issue that needed our final decision. Unfortunately, we had some weather issues that day and Ashley worked with our vendors to come up with the best plans possible for us to be able to get all the pictures and videos possible. Once the question got to us it was these are the two best options we have worked out and we just had to choose. One of our favorite special touches they included was being presented with our favorite drinks right after we walked down the aisle, it was great! We were also surprised with an entire album shared to us of all the pictures their team took from setting up to breaking down our events. There are over 800 pictures and videos that were amazing to see how our day was created and the efforts they took to make our day exactly what we had been planning. We 10/10 recommend them and hope to work with them in the future for other events.

Callie was beyond amazing. Funny story is I did not hire Callie or Ash events to cover my wedding, but the day before my wedding my original wedding coordinator had to be rushed to the ER with Covid. My wedding coordinator arranged for someone else to cover my wedding which was extremely stressful and really freaked me out that I did not have my wedding coordinator who I’ve been with for a year and a half. Callie showed up one hour before my wedding rehearsal and she did absolutely amazing and my stress level started to go down drastically. She had learned a year and a half of planning in one hour and everything that I wanted for my wedding and expected. Callie and her team not only did absolutely amazing and went above and beyond but none of my wedding guests ever had a clue that she was not my original wedding coordinator and that she had simply stepped in the day before. I could not of asked for a more beautiful day and better team than Callie and Ash events! Truly professional, top notch and insane attention to detail. My wedding was over the top amazing because of her and her team!!

Groom - For months in advance Ashley catered to my wife every step of the way. She was at our every beck and call. She absolutely went above and beyond with every single aspect of our wedding. She was easy to trust through the process which I think made our relationship stronger. The wedding was abso-freaking-lutely BEAUTIFUL, stress free, and better than anything I could have ever imagined. I will preach to my dying day that our wedding would not have been as good as it was without Ashley Newkirk and Ash Events. The day of the wedding I didn’t expect to need Ashley and her crew as much as I did. EVERY SINGLE TIME I said “Has anyone seen Ashley?” She instantly popped up out of nowhere with this beautiful smile, and no matter what I threw at her she tackled it with ease and grace! Ashley was as necessary as our wedding cake or the brides dress. Don’t hesitate on your choice, trust our review, I guarantee if you use Ash Events you will have a similar experience. She is a true professional!

Bride - From start to finish Ashley and her team were absolutely incredible and took so much stress off of our plates. Ashley recommended all of the vendors we had and they were all A-team vendors that made our day so beautiful! She was kind, responsive, organized and never hesitated to share her thoughts (with grace and sweetness) on what she thought would be better choices as far as decor/design goes and it’s because of her that everything looked as beautiful as it did. The day of our wedding, not once did I feel stressed about anything because she handled everything for us. 10/10 recommend Ashley and would absolutely use her again! Our day was perfect all because of her!

Wedding planning during a pandemic is no easy feat, my fiancé and I quickly realized we would need extra help to pull off a wedding! I started with a consultation with Ashley over the phone and immediately decided we needed to budget for her to be our coordinator. From linens to ceremony details to crafting our wedding day timeline, Ashley and her team made me feel better after every meeting. The day of the wedding, the Ash Events team handled everything so that our family and bridal party didn’t have to worry about a thing! The team even saved the day when a clasp on my dress popped and they sewed it together to last the rest of the night! We were all able to fully be present and enjoy the day because of Ashley and her team making sure everything ran smoothly with vendors. I am so thankful we realized early on that we needed help and highly recommend Ashley’s services to ALL brides. Thank you Ash Events for making our wedding day so memorable!

As a wedding planner for Ash Events and having been in the industry for 7+ years, I love weddings and doing all I can to make everyones’ day and planning experience so perfect! In my own season of engagement and wedding planning, people kept asking me if I was stressed or worried about anything and my answer was always “no, just very excited” because with Ash Events, there is no reason to stress or worry! I always tell my couples to sit back and enjoy the ride because it goes so fast and it’s impossible to soak in every second if you sweat the little things so I took my own advice and encouraged my ( now husband ) to do the same! We had the best team of vendors in our corner who listened to our hopes and wishes for our day and the best wedding planning team to pull it all together! We had a perfect day and it’s all because of Ash Events! We are eternally grateful 🤍
