Ashley Made Our Day

My fiance Curtis and I reached out to Ashley in fall of 2022 after getting engaged, I knew I wanted to throw the party of my dreams to celebrate our commitment, but I had been involved in enough weddings to know how stressful putting together such an event can be. By hiring Ashley, not only did the wedding end up being exactly what we hoped it would be, but my number one wish was granted - the ability to actually relax, enjoy, and be present on the day of the event. We hired Ashley for planning, day of coordination, and also for floral. We got married on 6/29/24 - which means that Ashley saw us through the planning process for 20 MONTHS! Her communication and organization never let us down in all of that time. She listened to our needs, offered tidy spreadsheets that helped us stay in budget, and asked the questions we wouldn't have known to ask ourselves. Every vendor we hired (photographer, DJ, officiant, etc...) ended up being a great match because we described what kind of energy we were looking for in each person, and Ashley lined us up with easy interviews from people in her network. She was hands-on, doing venue tours and an on-site rehearsal. On the day of, she did all of the job delegation, timeline oversight, and vendor management, so I got to just hang out with my friends before the ceremony and enjoy the experience of getting married. The floral package she offered was perfect and definitely tied together the whole aesthetic of the event in a wonderful way. We highly recommend Blue Lark Events for any wedding or other big gathering that you want to be headache-free.

A Friend, Organizer and Professional all in one!

Ashley with Blue Lark Events was everything we needed and more when it came to having a day of coordinator for our marriage in Oregon at the Heceta Head Bed and Breakfast! We planned everything sight unseen, never being in the actual state we were getting married in while planning, and never having met Ashley in person. She was very thoughtfully planful, provided all of the needed information to feel confident in preparation and paid attention to every fine detail the day of. She ensured everyone playing a major part in our big day felt prepared and ready in their role/timing and was such an asset. She kept so many things organized so I could just enjoy being a bride.

I cannot leave a review without mentioning her contagious energy! She has the most positive spirit and energy. Our photographer told us at the end of the night she assumed we had been lifelong friends with Ashley. What more could we ask for than someone that fit in with our crew all day into the night!

Thank you again, Ashley! I would happily work with you anytime.

Made our wedding come true

My fiance and I got engaged and the excitement started to turn into a churning low-level stress as we prepared for the great and unknown task of planning a wedding. I'm not inclined toward meticulous planning, and as someone who gets overwhelmed by large tasks and all of the unknown details that go along with them, we decided to call in a professional. We are SO thrilled we had the honor of having Ashley of Blue Lark Events as our coordinator. She is warm and an instant friend to anyone she meets. She guided us on what to prioritize each month, helped to keep us motivated and excited about the end goal, and had tons of helpful recommendations and resources. It was always a sigh of relief after each monthly meeting with her, seeing that we were in fact on track and crossing off big tasks! Weeks before the wedding, she liaised with the venue, caterers, rental companies, and more, diligently shouldering the responsibilities and ensuring everything was taken care of, effectively lightening our load. On the day of the wedding, she put appetizers in my hands to make sure I got food, a drink in my hand to savor, and made the day so incredibly seamless for us. I can't recommend Ashley and her superpowers enough. She made the best day of our lives possible and we are forever thankful for her!
