    Elyse and Ashley blew us AWAY!!! With threats of winter storm Blair on the horizon, they were able to take care of rearranging the timeline without us having to lift a finger or worry at all! The team at AJ coordinates are so kind and knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do! I would recommend them 100 times over!!

    Ashley was absolutely wonderful as our day of wedding coordinator! With the service we selected, she started 3 months out from the wedding day and fully took over vendor communication and event coordination (while keeping us on copy and in the loop). She helped us pull off a truly incredible wedding day. Ashley is extremely kind, calm, and professional and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the St. Louis area. She is quick to respond to any messages and has transparent communication with her clients. She helped to relieve any stress on our big day and made sure the event ran smoothly and on time. Hiring Ashley was the decision we made for our big day!

    As a wedding photographer with 9 years of experience and someone who recently helped my sister plan her December 2024 wedding, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have a stellar wedding planner—and Ashley is just that! From the moment we started working with Ashley, her expertise, organization, and genuine passion for making weddings magical shone through. Planning a wedding is no small feat, but Ashley made the process seamless and enjoyable. She was there every step of the way, ensuring every detail was covered and that my sister and her fiancé could truly enjoy their special day without stress. On the wedding day, Ashley was a rockstar. She orchestrated everything flawlessly, from coordinating vendors to managing the timeline. Her calm demeanor and proactive problem-solving kept the day running smoothly, which is crucial for both the couple and vendors like myself as a photographer. Whether it’s the big picture or the tiniest details, Ashley has it all under control. She truly cares about her couples, and her dedication shines in every aspect of her work. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your day unforgettable, look no further than Ashley. She’s not just a planner—she’s a dream-maker. Trust me, as someone who’s seen weddings from both the photographer and family perspective, having someone like Ashley on your team is priceless. She’s an absolute must-have for any couple wanting a stress-free, perfectly executed wedding day. Thank you, Ashley, for being such a critical part of my sister’s wedding day and for making it so amazing!

    Wow, thank you for such a heartfelt and glowing review! It was an absolute privilege to work with your sister (and your family!) to make her December wedding everything she dreamed of. As a wedding photographer, your perspective and praise mean so much—your kind words about my attention to detail, organization, and dedication truly warm my heart. Knowing that both the couple and vendors felt supported and stress-free on the big day is exactly why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me to play such an important role in your sister’s wedding—it was a day I’ll always cherish being part of!

    From the moment we booked AJCoordinates, we knew we were in good hands. Ashley and her team were incredibly helpful, quick to respond, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of wedding planning. On the day of our wedding, Ashley's expertise really shone through - she seamlessly pinned my dress when I needed help, knew exactly how the ceremony should flow, and had a backup plan ready when one of our vendors was slow to respond. We only wish we had found AJCoordinates earlier in the planning process, as Ashley's guidance and organization would have been invaluable. Her attention to detail and ability to problem-solve on the fly made our special day run smoothly from start to finish. We highly recommend AJCoordinates to any couple looking for a wedding planner they can truly rely on.
