Ashley Fussell was my month-of coordinator for my wedding at the Chrysler Museum of Art this past June. She and her team were simply incredible. Timely, responsive, calm, and above all, professional. Here are just a few examples of Soirees by Lauren's above-and-beyond work:

1. An hour before the ceremony, the zippers on 2 of my bridesmaids' dresses popped open exposing their undergarments. There was no resetting the track -- they were unzippable. I texted Ashley and within minutes she and her assistant were in the dressing room with a needle and matching thread, sewing my bridesmaids into their gowns -- No problem.

2. During one of the reception speeches, the groomsman tossed all his notecards behind him, scattering them about the dance floor, and Ashley discreetly picked them all up after he was finished. It may sound minor, but to us, this was very professional and kind of her to do to make sure the area stayed pristine and no one slipped on a notecard.

3. Ashley handled EVERY practical issue on the wedding weekend including dispersing all my tips for me, assisting all my family members who brought desserts for our dessert table, keeping track of every item that someone brought that needed to be returned, the wedding parties personal items left in the dressing rooms, and the list goes on. She also packed my car with all the leftover food, cake, desserts, and any other items that were not claimed the night of the wedding while I enjoyed myself right up until the last minute.

4. And of course, Ashley and her team handled all communication with and direction of every one of my vendors on the wedding day, including parking, vendor meals, set up, tear down, timelines, and expectations.

5. Lastly, Ashley was so relaxed and level-headed about all things wedding -- which made a significant impact on the vibe in the dressing rooms & during portraits. I could not imagine working with a coordinator who wasn't as calming or zen.

Because Ashley and her team were SO reliable, SO professional, and SO driven to make my wedding perfect -- I was able to sit back, relax, and actually enjoy my day. No worrying. No wondering where things are. No concerns over vendors understanding the assignment...This is the biggest reason I recommend her to any couple. You won't regret it.

Ashley was so great to work with! I desperately needed a coordinator and Ashley took so much of my stress away leading up to the wedding. She was quick to respond, so knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran so smoothly. It was so nice being able to just enjoy our special day knowing Ashely and Courtney had everything covered. I would definitely recommend!

We can’t say enough about how phenomenal Taylor and her assistant Stacey were. Truly top notch. Communicated well. Had the “day of” down to a science and were constantly there for every little detail. Super pleasant and fun, too. The wedding could not have gone better and they were a large part of it. My wife and I, and the bride and groom, highly recommend them.
