Hi, I’m Ashley!

I’ve been event planning for as long as I can remember and I love the preparation of getting all the details ready for an event. My favorite part is all the behind the scenes that no one really gets to see… that’s where I come alive! I love all the moving parts that come along with the day-of an event; the running around getting everything all put together. To see the reactions of the people I have put it together for is everything to me.

I think my mom has a lot to do with my background and being shaped into doing what I love. Growing up, my mom was also the one to plan everything family-related and I feel that watching her over the years rubbed off on me. She is also very crafty and has an eye for detail. She’s my go-to when I’m stuck on anything business-related (and really anything in life!). I also love how she often brings a different perspective to the ideas that I have. 

I had always done events prior to opening a company but decided to make it official and start my own business doing what I love.

Family ties

I love that I have 3 strong-willed girls who I get to call my own. They are everything to me. I love my husband for being one of my  biggest supporters in my passion, and my family for having my back in anything that I do. My friends who truly know me and continue to tell me that possibilities are endless are the ones who keep me going.


I’ve had a passion for event planning for as long as I can remember…

It may not have officially started until 2019 but I’ve been planning the details… forever!

I’m always the go-to person for all of our friend outings and vacations. I’m the one who plans the activities 95% of the time. I love the whole aspect of helping someone bring their vision to life and love reactions once everything is put together. I’ve always been the organized kid out of my two siblings. I’m the oldest as well so I’ve always felt the need to plan everything we do.

LET’S GET

every little detail
