ASHLEY FIDLER EVENTS

Photographer ~ Nicole Adrienne Photography

“Our daughter just got married October 16, 2022 and hiring Ashley to help us was the best thing we did. We realized we didn't need a full service planner so Ashley was perfect as a "day of" planner. I relaxed the moment we hired her a year ago. We just really needed to guide us along the way, answer any questions we had, and be there on the day of the wedding. Ashley is a lovely person who is easy to get along with. Over the past year she has answered countless emails, we've had phone meetings, zoom meetings and in person meetings. She is full of good advice and really put us at rest. She helped out at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding Ashley took care of all the details we didn't want to be bothered with such as confirming with vendors before the wedding, setting up a greenery wall, calling to see where our late transportation van was, placing decorative items we had brought where they belonged, making sure everyone was where they should be, AND cleaning up at the end of the night. She really felt like a friend who was there to make our daughter's wedding the best event it could be. And it was! Thank you Ashley for all you have done. We were so lucky to have found you!”

“This review is specifically for the brides and/or grooms out there who aren’t really sure if they really *need* a coordinator. I was originally that bride who thought I didn’t need help, but I’m so happy my mom convinced me otherwise. Sure, I could tackle most of the planning ahead of time, but who was going to be there day-of to make sure everything was executed according to plan? I ended up thinking about it this way: we wouldn't drive our car without insurance, why would my husband and I invest as much (if not much more) into an important event without giving ourselves that same insurance that it would go well? Ashley was our insurance, and our safe driver :) Though my husband and I planned most of the wedding details ourselves, Ashley jumped in month-of to make sure all those details came together into one perfectly executed day. Wedding week was a breeze because she put together the timeline, communicated, and confirmed with all of my vendors. By the time our family was in town, all we had to do was host and enjoy. When a few things inevitably didn’t go to plan during our reception and we fell behind on our timeline, Ashley quickly and proactively coordinated with each of our vendors to extend the evening by a half hour so our guests had plenty of time to enjoy the party. In addition to every positive thing that has been said about her in other reviews, I’ll repeat that she’s someone you’ll want to have by your side on your day. She’s fun, she gets it, she takes awesome BTS pics, she’s responsive and anticipates needs. Example - I actually found her in the bridal suite threading a needle just in case my maid of honor wanted help fixing a rip in her dress from the dance floor. She’s on top of it, and she's the best!”

“What can I say about Ashley that hasn’t already been said? Indeed- she is thoughtful, hard-working, detail-oriented, and a master of her craft. Instead of reiterating what others have said, I’ll explain why you should prioritize a coordinator and, specifically, choose Ashley. My husband and I hired Ashley for our wedding in October of 2022. A month before the wedding, we started exchanging all the vendor information and details we wanted to include on our wedding day. The timeline Ashley put together was detailed, precise, and included events I hadn’t even considered. She managed the rehearsal expertly (at which point all our family and friends fell in love with her and remarked how wonderful she was to expertly handle and organize that many people). Now the most important bit: the day of the wedding, my husband and I had absolutely nothing to do. We had no tasks to take care of or people with which to coordinate. We simply were told where to go according to the timeline. Ashley handled set-up, last minute vendor payments, a private drinks&apps space after our ceremony, coordinated all the reception events (cake cutting, dances, etc.). After the event, she packed up all our decor and gifts, let’s us know about the leftovers in the kitchen if we wanted to grab some the next day, and sent us all the candid photos she had taken during the day (a nice sneak peek before our photographer had a chance to send some pics). Please listen when I say: prioritize a coordinator and I encourage you to have Ashley on your vendor team. If I had to do everything again and I only had the budget to choose between Ashley and flowers, or Ashley and a stunning venue, or Ashley and a more expensive wedding dress- I would happily choose Ashley every time.”

“She was absolutely amazing and when I say we could not have done it without her, we truly could not have. My parents said they felt like a guest in their own home. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped us to organize everything to make sure we had it all in order. She kept me calm when I needed it most and was a voice of sanity when I was at my breaking points. On the day of the wedding, she arrived at my parents' home first thing in the morning and absolutely transformed our reception tent and cocktail hour area; it looked like a true wedding reception and not just a backyard wedding. She executed the vision I didn't even know I had! She was there until the very end and cleaned up, which was vital the next morning when everyone was moving a bit slow and in no mood to be cleaning. It should also be noted, Ashley was the ultimate hype girl and comrade for me the day of the wedding. She kept me calm as I was about to walk down the aisle, ensured my lipstick was applied perfectly all night, kept me hydrated with water and prosecco and well fed, bustled my dress, took my hair down for me at the end of the night...the list could truly go on and on. Ashley was a vital part in making our wedding day truly the BEST. DAY. EVER. If this is what you are looking for, then hiring Ashley in a MUST. No corners will be cut and I can promise you, you will not regret it”

“Ashley is truly unmatched. She made every single detail of our day just perfect and felt like one of my best friends the second I met her. She is incredibly organized, thoughtful and passionate about her work. She makes you feel like your wedding is the most important day of not only your life, but her biggest priority. I seriously cannot praise Ashley enough! If you are looking for an amazing planner and a brand new friend, hire her! She’s AMAZING!”

“When my son got engaged, he and his fiancé wanted to have a small and intimate wedding. We offered our beach house as the venue and their vision of a backyard wedding started. Being of a certain age (56), when my future DIL said they hired a "day of wedding coordinator" I had no idea what that really meant or even "is that really even needed??" Well, I have to tell you in all honesty, YES,YES,YES!!! It was very much needed and I can't imagine having had the day we had without Ashley!! Her insight, vision, support and professionalism was simply outstanding!! Ashley was with us the night of the rehearsal and ALL DAY the day of the wedding. It was like having a guardian angel who would just swoop in and provide assistance or support....sometimes assistance you didn't even know you needed but she did! She worked tirelessly- making tea for the bride as it was pretty darn cold, having umbrellas if needed as there was a chance of rain, running the wedding rings and my son's tie back and forth to the house where the girls were getting ready so the photographer could capture some fun detail pics. The list goes on and on and on. She was the first to arrive and the last to leave and ensured a smooth and fun filled day all around. All of the vendors spoke so highly of her as well which was just wonderful to hear and experience. We can't thank Ashley enough for making the day special to all of us!”
