Meet the Founder

Hi! I'm Ashley- Lover of linens, timelines and all things weddings. I'm here to be your wedding planning bestie. 

From planning middle school dances to orchestrating dream weddings in the Rockies, I’ve always loved creating moments of joy and celebration. After six years of industry experience, honing my skills and building close connections with vendors, I decided it was time to start my own brand to deliver a more personal, elevated wedding planning experience. 

I’m here not just to be your wedding planner; I'm here for a partnership filled with creativity, empathy, and a dash of fun. I believe in working hard, treating people right, and showing my two daughters that you really can have it all while loving what you do!

I cannot recommend Ashley enough. If you want someone to make your wedding day stress-free, seamless & unforgettable, she’s your girl!

From start to finish, she made me feel like everything was under control. I would’ve been lost without her timeline expertise. I didn’t want my family or bridal party doing tasks—Ashley handled it all so they could enjoy the day. She was incredibly responsive, on top of every detail, and went above and beyond. All the prep gave me peace of mind, and on the day, she executed everything flawlessly. She even kept me on track and captured behind-the-scenes moments that were such a fun surprise. If you’ve got tricky family dynamics—don’t worry, Ashley’s got you. She handled everything with professionalism, tact, and total confidence. Plus, she’s a vibe—kind, funny, and fiercely protective of your day.

Ashley is hands down the best wedding planner & person I could have run into along my wedding planning journey.

 If you are looking for your sign for which wedding planner you should book, this is it. I felt extremely confident with Ashley by our side during the entire process, and I knew our wedding would go seamlessly with her in charge. She went above and beyond every step of the way. She caught all the little errors and kinks in our timelines and plans, and made sure that no stone was left unturned. Going into my wedding week was the most stress-free time. Her highest priority was making sure we were taken care of. I cannot imagine our wedding without her taking care of it all! She truly cares about all of her couples and wants to make sure that their wedding is exactly what they pictured and imagined it would be.

Andrew Neuhalfen

Not only was Ashley the best wedding planner, but she was the best friend, advisor and truly cares about her clients. 

I seriously have no idea what I would have done without Ashley!!!! Her knowledge within the wedding business and the relationships she’s built with vendors is invaluable. She made me feel heard and knew what I wanted even when I didn’t. Thank you doesn’t even cover all she and her team did for us during the wedding planning process and beyond.

Can’t recommend Olive Theory Event Co. enough!!!!

Morgan Sprinkle

I honestly don’t know how I'd have made it through the wedding planning process and big day itself without Ashley. 

If I could give Ashley 10 stars, I absolutely would. From dealing with venue issues and family drama to managing timing and every little detail, she handled it all flawlessly. Ashley was incredibly supportive, responsive, and always made sure I had everything I needed, even the things I might have forgotten. Her preparation, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond truly made the entire experience seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free. She’s the absolute best – the cream of the crop!

Britton Harshbarger

Ashley's attention to detail, creative ideas, and unwavering support made our wedding planning process smooth and stress-free. 

I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough. From start to finish, she was an absolute professional to work with. For reference Ashley helped us plan basically two weddings when our first one was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. Our wedding day was executed flawlessly from start to finish because of the well organized timeline and support Ashley gave to us. The fact that my parents were truly able to be 100% present in the moment and not feeling like they needed to orchestrating the wedding process was priceless. If you want a wedding planner that will exceed your expectations and be a true savior in the planning process, look no further than here.

From coordinating vendors to managing timelines, Ashley's organization made the whole weekend seamless.

Choosing Ashley as our wedding planner was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. 

We couldn’t have had such a special day without Ashley’s wholehearted dedication and expertise. From the moment we sat down with her and began planning our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. Ashley listened to our wants and needs, added stunning design elements and fun entertainment options, all while helping to keep our budget in line. More importantly, Ashley was our complete advocate on the day of our wedding — she eased our nerves, handled any last minute changes, and made sure everything went off without a hitch!

Frequently
Asked...

Do you offer Day of Coordination?

We prefer to refer to this type of service as 'Wedding Management'. We couldn't, in good faith, show up to your wedding day and know exactly what to do without putting in a significant amount of work beforehand. Having ample time to talk through details with you, get to know your vendors, and make sure everyone's ducks are in a row are essential to a successful and stress-free wedding day. For these reasons, we start our Wedding Management services 60 days before your wedding day.

Our venue comes with a Venue Coordinator, can't they help get me down the aisle?

While we are positive that your Venue Coordinator loves weddings and would be there in a pinch, they are hired to perform and oversee essential tasks for the management of your wedding venue. Things like ensuring the restrooms are well stocked, monitoring noise limits, and taking care of the facilities are top of mind for Venue Coordinators. Hiring a professional wedding planner/coordinator (us!) ensures that you have a team of people to surround you and support you and your favorite people with any personal needs (did Grandma's heel break off and need to be superglued back on, or Mom's zipper broke and she needs to be sewn in?). Our sole purpose on your wedding day is to make sure you and your families have the best day ever!

How do you keep our planning process moving in the right direction?

We realize that planning your wedding isn't your full-time job, although sometimes it feels that way. We choose to utilize Aisle Planner, which is an online, cloud-based project management platform that offers a great alternative to unending pages of Google Docs. Among the many helpful features are the insanely detailed checklists, floorplanning tools, as well as guest management and even a place to store your inspo! We include the pricing for this tool in our packages as a perk when working with us.

Do you require couples to work with specific vendors?

We don't! As much as we love working with our favorites, we are always happy to make new friends and learn more about their services. We just ask that you have a contractual relationship with anyone providing a service at your wedding, for everyone's protection. We are also happy to provide any recommendations for our favorite vendors; ask for our list if you'd like to learn more!

What sets you apart from other Wedding Planners?

We pride ourselves on being easy-going, understanding, and flexible throughout the planning process and on your wedding day. We have been in the Hospitality Industry, in many different positions, from day one and that gives us a unique understanding of your wedding day as a whole from a multitude of perspectives. We also do our very best to keep in mind the insane privilege we have to be able to support our couples and their families through this incredible experience, and we don't take our responsibility lightly!

What is your communication style?

We do our best to make sure we are meeting you where you are at. We understand that everyone has a million things going on with work, family, friends, and life in general, and adding wedding planning into an already busy schedule can be tough. We keep typical office hours but can absolutely make accommodations to connect outside of those when necessary. We have served clients on opposite ends of the country, in med school, in the military, and in tons of other scenarios, and we want to make sure that we are giving everyone the grace and understanding that we are here to make sure things are being accomplished and you don't have to clear your whole schedule to do it.
