Unforgettable Memories

Kayla & Brendon

"When I first started wedding planning I had no idea that I would need a day of coordinator as I am a fairly organized person. When we booked our venue, our package included Ashley's services (Ready Set Wedding). To say I am grateful, is an understatement! Ashley thought of ALL the small details that didn't even cross my mind in the month leading up to our wedding. She really did think of EVERYTHING. She took the stress out of our wedding day by handling every little thing that came up, so we could just enjoy the day we had spent so much time planning. Her and her assistant, Amber, were both so patient, kind, and easy to work with. I have nothing but great things to say about the both of them. To anyone questioning if they need a day of coordinator, DO IT. It is worth it!"

"Although I wasn’t married in Manitoba, Ashley helped me with the destination wedding day planning which we held in Ocean Isle Beach North Carolina on May 15th!
She worked in conjunction with a NC wedding planner and encouraged me to do my original vision of farm house tables in our reception area, supported me in decor choices, planned a perfect timeline and just helped me deal with all our different vendors from bartenders, DJ, catering. She also worked really well with the other on site day of coordinator (who was very difficult to deal with) when she was trying to make me rush through the whole timeline, tried to get me to change original hopes and dreams I had for the ceremony and reception area. Ashley handled her with professionalism from another country and made sure my dreams came true. Thank you so much Ashley for every message, Video call and every act of support you gave me during the planning stages to make sure we had our dream day! Forever grateful! Do not hesitate to hire her to help you plan either months in advance or even just the day of. She is incredible!!"

"I wanted someone just to make sure everything went smoothly during the day and for decoration set up as well. It was such a relief to know someone was taking care of everything in the background. Super helpful with tips, planning and going through all the small details that needed to be done leading up to the wedding. Great with answering any questions I had throughout the whole process as well as dealing with all the family photo organization and checking in with everyone and everything the day of the wedding. Thanks again!"

"Ashley was our "month-of coordinator" and we absolutely could not have done it without her. She was amazing from day one, coordinating details we hadn't even thought of yet.
As for our wedding day, she made sure everything was on time and running smoothly, if anything went wrong we knew nothing about it!
Ashley is definitely a must call for anyone looking for a wedding planner or coordinator."

"We can't say it enough, having Ashley and her sister Amber on our big day was the best decision ever! From the smallest things, like getting snacks for us, to coordinating with all our vendors, these lovely ladies were so on top of it!

As the bride, and as with most brides, I had such a specific vision for the day (let's face it, I planned my dream wedding when I was 10!). Ashley absolutely helped by asking any little question and thought of every extra little detail that truly helped make our day even better than I had ever hoped for!

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, truly! And to anyone whose on the fence, get yourself a wedding planner, and more importantly book Ready Set Wedding to allow you to be fully present on your day, laughing and enjoying every small moment with friends and family! You won't regret it one bit!"

Jessica & Tyler

"I thought planning an outdoor wedding on our family property would be easy peasy.. I was proven very wrong, very quickly! I am so glad I found Ashley. After our first meeting I immediately felt at ease. She is so down to earth, and so organized! She helped me get my ducks in a row, answered any silly questions that would pop into my head, and truly helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be and more. Ashley made us feel like we didn't have to worry about a thing. I am not great with decor, so my vision for the wedding was almost a blank canvas. Ashley talked me through it, gave me ideas, and set up the most perfect decor in the tent. It was exactly what we wanted, I was so happy! If I could get married over and over I'd call Ashley every time. I think no matter how organized you feel, having that person there to help make sure things go off without a hitch is truly priceless. Thank you for everything, Ashley!"

"Ashley was fantastic to work with and so detailed! She always responded to my emails quickly and put my mind at ease many times. Our day was a little windy at some points but Ashley made sure any changes needed looked just as beautiful! Her and her team took away all the stress on the day of, it wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without her! I would definitely recommend her!!"

“Ashley was absolutely a godsend on our wedding day. Everyone kept asking me if I was stressed or nervous and I truly wasn't because I didn't have to deal with a single thing.She was patient, dealt with a million little moving parts and was always smiling. When people ask me what is the one thing you should spend money on for your wedding that you won't regret -- I always say getting a wedding planner like Ashley.”

"We want to say a big thank you to Ashley at Ready Set Wedding for making our wedding the best day of our lives! All of our questions and concerns were answered very quickly and eased our nerves. She scheduled meetings with us to go over deadlines, made sure all of our vendors were coordinated, and if any concerns came up during the wedding she made sure to take care of them without hesitation. There were so many little things we never would have thought of, and it was all handled so perfectly. The day of our wedding, we had no worries and were able to really enjoy our day, it was truly perfect. We still talk about how amazing the day was with our friends and family, and probably will for a very long time!
We can't thank you enough for helping us have our dream wedding!"

"Working with Ashley is a dream. My husband and I were supposed to get married at a resort, and then due to COVID, decided to do a backyard wedding instead. We first met with Ashley when we were just 8 weeks away from the backyard wedding, and at that point, we had literally nothing planned, were both working full time, and have a 1 year old - I know, ridiculous. We didn't even have a vision for the backyard wedding, so Ashley really built it from the ground up.. in 8 weeks. Right from the get go, Ashley made us feel 1000% confident that every part of our wedding was going to be taken care of. Her organization is incredible - she thinks of literally everything, and was so good at keeping us on track and on time (which for us, is not an easy thing to do). She is super knowledgeable about all different vendors, which saved us so much time searching. She goes above and beyond to make sure that even the smallest details are taken care of, and she thinks of things that we would have never in a million years have thought of. Seriously, she takes all the guesswork and stress out of planning the wedding and having her on board allowed my husband and I to just relax and enjoy the process. Ashley's day of coordination was perfect for us. She leads everyone so perfectly, not pushy, but in a way that gets things done and keeps everyone on time. All of the work that she had put in leading up to the wedding became especially apparent in the days leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding, where normally, that would be a chaotic and stressful time, but for us, everything went so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything. We have gotten so many compliments about how amazing our wedding was and I always start by giving credit to Ashley - without her, it would have been impossible. I tell anyone I know who is engaged to hire Ashley!"
