Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that every aspect of the wedding was perfectly executed. Thanks to Ashlie’s dedication and expertise, my wedding day was absolutely flawless.

Rachel Patterson
"I cannot recommend Ashlie enough! She was super helpful in keeping us on track with planning, utilizing her connections in the area, and keeping us level headed throughout our planning and during the wedding. Ashlie made what could have felt like an overwhelming and daunting event feel easy, while encouraging us to keep it authentic to ourselves and not just fall into every wedding trend. A true professional, and a delight to work with."

Colton Haffey
"Ashlie and her team helped us have the smoothest and most stress free wedding day ever!! She was so thorough in making sure we got tasks done on time and was so helpful making sure we hired the right vendors for our special day. She also took care of decorating some of our spaces while matching it to our particular aesthetic and it came out looking incredible. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"

Preston Mar
"GURRRRLLLL!!! If you aren't hiring Designs by Ashlie Smith (old business name) where the heck you at?! Perfection. Phenomenal. Amazing. Are simply words that are an understatement of how great Ashlie and her team are. From the start of our first meeting to the last minute of our wedding, Ashlie was on point with everything. My vision of what I wanted, my concerns and must haves and all else in between, she took all my dreams and made them come true. They didn't skip a beat on one thing. Carly and Amber were incredibly sweet as well and were on it with all we needed that day. It took so much stress off us during the planning and day of we really wouldn't have been able to do it with her. She truly has a heart of gold, I could yell from the rooftop how great she is. I am SOOO sad our wedding is over I enjoyed our weekly calls so much. Call her and book her NOW!!"

Alexis Gregory
"When I say Ashlie and team are amazing! They are truly AMAZING! I had the pleasure of hiring Ashlie for partial planning, day of coordination & rentals for my recent wedding. For starters, Ashlie's communication was impeccable! She was always easily accessible, responded to my questions quickly & was solution driven. She was the primary contact between our wedding vendors and I which helped to keep my stress levels completely down during the planning process and the day of our wedding. Ashlie's expertise and eye for design and detail helped to bring to life our envisioned color palette for our ceremony and reception. Securing rentals and set up were also a breeze. I would work with Ashlie and team a million times over! I couldn't have gotten through the wedding planning process without her! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10 experience!"

Kiana M
"I highly recommend Ashlie and her team - Carlie who lead our wedding and Morgan who helped out day of - for your wedding! They will help you stay on track, and set up a super helpful Google Drive to store all the important information. They truly went above and beyond, helping us set up decor, bringing us food and drinks, helping serve cake and packing up food for us to take home - we really appreciated those taquitos!!! Both my husband and I loved the process with Ashlie and Carlie, they made it low stress and helped us stay true to our vision and have the wedding we dreamed. We can't thank you enough!"

Kelly Harp
"I don't think I can express how incredible Ashlie was, but I will certainly try. I hired Ashlie almost two years ago and we maintained constant communication during that whole time. I'm certain she had 40+ weddings before mine, but she always made me feel like my wedding was the most important and top of mind. She took meticulous notes every meeting, which was incredibly helpful as I have a terrible memory. When I felt like I was losing my mind, Ashlie reassured me that we were on track and I would always leave our meetings feeling calm and excited, rather than spiraling. The wedding day itself was perfect and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She knew my vision and made it come to life! And not having to outsource decor rentals since she had everything I needed made it that much easier. When there was a communication issue with the venue during the wedding, she got it resolved immediately! I cannot recommend Ashlie enough. She was my saving grace during the whole wedding planning process and I promise that you will not regret hiring her!"
