We never know how a planner will be their first time working at our venue and Ashley did not disappoint, a lot of planners would not have thrived in an unknown venue the way she did. I had the pleasure of working with her in June 2022 and cannot wait to welcome her back to The Asbury as well as recommend her to our clients! She is hands-on, efficient, and organized, a dream planner from a client and venue perspective!

Ashley was very professional, she was very efficient and organized the day of the wedding she put me at ease she checked on the wedding party and made sure every detail was exactly the way envisioned. She checked on myself and the groom numorous times to make sure we had everything we needed and if we didn't she had it. I'm so happy we hired her. Mr and Mrs Gonzalez

I do all of your planning and coordination individually. Because of this, I only take a certain amount of weddings per year so that I can really focus on your day! On the day of your wedding, I do have a team with me. The size of my team will be dependent on how much set up and organization is needed.

I do! If this is something you're interested in hiring SSE for, please inquire!

I am always available to chat via email! Any phone calls, zooms, and face to face meetings are all to be scheduled a few days in advance. Site visits to your venue are to be scheduled at least 1 month in advance.

No! I only take one wedding per weekend and 2 weddings maximum per month.

I started working in the wedding industry about 10 years ago. I started out as a bridal consultant at a shop. From there, I worked for a wedding planner in college which allowed to to really learn the ropes on all things wedding and organization! From here, I fell in love with the process and the joy my work can bring people on one of the best days of their lives. I officially started SSE in 2021 as my passion project and I have loved every second of it since!

Yes! I understand that not all weddings fit into a mold. If you believe that that applies to you, please inquire!
