Reviews of Ashley Douglass Events & Wedding Planners (Event Planner)

Lucy Buckley

As the mother of the bride, I couldn’t recommend Ashley more highly. In fact, she was the best thing that happened to my daughter, her fiancé, and me from the moment they got engaged to their wedding 14 months later in Manhattan. First of all, she is a delight to be with – warm, calm, patient, unflappable, and able to help us find humor in some of the inevitable glitches that occurred along the way (then she immediately went ahead and fixed them). She was extraordinarily competent -- great at figuring out the “feel” of what we were looking for – whether flowers, food, music, stationery, photography, venues etc – and then coming up with the perfect fit in vendors and locations. Her working relationship with all of them was seamless – and the results were perfect. If there were any problems along the way we didn’t hear about it – she ran interference on everything. She was creative in her suggestions and solutions without us ever feeling she was imposing her sensibility over ours. And she was tireless and endlessly generous with her time, counsel and good cheer. To call her a dynamo is an under-statement -- good things come in small packages and Ashley is the best. Thanks to her superb work I can honestly say that the wedding was one of the happiest nights of all of our lives and I will always be so grateful!

I cannot describe in enough details how fantastic Ashley was. She handled us, our families and our vendors with excellent care and diligence. She greatly helped us select our venue which, in the end, was our own home. She planned perfectly every detail: flowers, venue, cake, place settings, etc. But the most wonderful part was that Ashley was an absolute delight to work with. We are a pretty private family and Ashley was sensitive to this, making our small wedding at home with family and friends a moment in time we will not forget. When we expressed that we did not want much social media surrounding our wedding she was more than happy to accommodate this request. She is super kind and friendly, which made us feel like we had a friend by our side rather than a wedding planner. Ashley took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and made sure our needs were put first during planning and the day of our wedding. There are far more ways of thinking about details, and far more details to consider overall, than I expected. Ashley’s involvement really did elevate our wedding. Thank you for easing our minds, relieving our stress and putting such loving detail into every part of our wedding. We would strongly recommend working with Ashley and her team for your wedding or any event with a million moving parts.
