Amazing wedding in Astoria, OR!

Ashley is an amazing wedding coordinator! We began working with her about a year before our wedding and the monthly Zoom meetings kept us on track. Ashley is extremely organized and has great attention to detail. On our wedding day, we truly could relax and enjoy our day because Ashley had everything covered. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be! We cannot recommend Ashley and her services enough!

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.

Honestly a life saver

Believe the reviews on this website! My husband and I booked Ashley based on her impeccable reviews on wedding wire and we are so glad we did. I worked with her for a full year, talking, meeting and planning regularly, and enjoyed every conversation we had together. Ashley is super organized, has an answer for everything, is knowledgeable and super kind. I'm not from Oregon, but she went above and beyond to help out in ways that I couldn't, because I wasn't physically there. And on the big day, Ashley was calm, composed, gave great tips and guidance, and was there for every moment. Truly was so grateful to have someone so experienced for something that was so new and nerve wracking for the now husband and I! Ashley, thank you so much for your help, your expertise and biggest of hearts. You made our wedding experience so smooth and streamlined, and we will never forget you! You were one of the best parts of our day.
