"If you are lucky enough to have the chance to work with Ashley and her team, do it! Could not recommend Ashley Douglass enough.
Not only did she bring my vision to life - she made the entire planning process easy, stress-free and fun. I will miss working with her!
She has the kindest and biggest heart, and such a positive energy.
She is incredibly talented - she has a subtle way of being your fearless leader, but also being your teammate throughout the process.
Everyone said I was a very calm and chill bride, but I can tell you single-handedly that it was because I knew I had Ashley and her team working behind the scenes, making sure everything was absolutely perfect.
And it was! Thank you Ashley for the most amazing weekend! You are truly a superwoman!!!”
Bride Ali
“First off, my wife and I, and our parents, didn’t have a real idea of what we were in for when we started planning our wedding.
Had I known, we may have elected to head to city hall.
Kidding aside, had we known the significance and joy all the work would have in the end, we would do it all over again.
Ashley does not miss a beat or detail.”
Groom Bobby
"Ashley is a God-Send!
The level of detail she puts into planning goes way above and beyond and we honestly cannot thank her enough.
She thinks of everything that never would have crossed our minds.
Her help with decor, coordination and logistics were incredible.
And you have a great personality too! We highly recommend her!
The Brides
Ashley Douglass is marvelous!
I have never met anyone so responsible, detail oriented, and with impeccable taste.
We were ecstatic with the results and could not have achieved these superb results without Ashley’s expertise.
What beautiful memories that will stay with us always.
Mother of the groom Hilary

This mini-course might NOT be the best fit for:
- Couples who are well on their way with a wedding planner they have hired!
- Those who have a significantly large budget and are seeking a luxury wedding planner or personalized consultant.
- Experienced wedding planners or professionals who are already familiar with the basics and are searching for advanced techniques or industry-specific insights.
While many ADE weddings today have a luxury price tag, that wasn’t always the case!
In the early years, we refused to let a lower budget compromise quality. Our popularity grew because of our industriousness, as well as our standards of creativity, pre-production, and execution.
Now, we are delivering our time-tested experience, so you can create the wedding of your dreams while saving money.
You need to be aware of all that you don’t know so you can make smart, informed choices and plan ahead financially and otherwise.
After serving couples for almost two decades in this varied role as a wedding planner, we are thrilled to be empowering couples with straightforward information, so that you can move forward with confidence.
