I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her team! She understood my wedding vision from the very start and was ALWAYS available to meet/email to ensure all my questions were answered (while also planning her own wedding!). She is direct and honest which is so helpful in making quick decisions and finding solutions to challenges that inevitably pop up. She worked so incredibly hard throughout the entire wedding day but always had a smile on her face in the process. I can't think of a better person to make the wedding of our dreams happen!

Our wedding was straight out of a dream thanks to Southern Hospitality Weddings & Events!

Ashley is the best wedding planner there is! She is so knowledgeable about the industry and knows everything inside and out from the different vendors, designs, and just about anything that comes to mind regarding wedding planning. I probably wore Ashley out with questions everyday yet she was always willing to answer them so quickly. I could be very indecisive when it came to making choices for my wedding vision since I just loved everything I saw. Ashley was amazing at presenting my options, helping me to narrow them down by asking me tougher questions to get me thinking in a head space of what I ultimately envisioned for our big day and kept in mind, my budget when presenting the different options!

Both Ashley and Bethany are so personable and the sweetest souls. I could not imagine not having them as my wedding planners. They are truly the best!

The day of my wedding, Bethany was there with me, calming my nerves before I walked down the aisle while Ashley was behind the scene, running the show with care and efficiently and calmly, seeing to it that the final details were executed as planned. They both made sure that everything was always going smoothly and that Matt and I were having the best time while ensuring we had everything we needed - (from making our dinner plates, to getting us hors d'oeuvres during our time of getting our pictures taken, and to making sure we got our cocktails first)! They treated us like royalty the whole night! They even wore matching dresses to match my theme / vibe of the wedding (THEY ARE THE BEST!)

Ashley and Bethany surprised me with a special design at our sweetheart table with the scalloped plates I liked to have had. Due to budget constraints of not being able to select the scalloped plates for all the tables, Ashley wanted to make sure that there was a special touch of the scalloped plates that I had envisioned at our wedding for just Matt and me to enjoy! Not only was that so special to have on our big day - but Ashley & Bethany bought a set of 4 of these place settings to gift Matt and me so we could continue to use them throughout our lives together - (again THEY ARE THE BEST)!

Our wedding was everything we dreamt of and more! It felt like it was straight out of a movie, all thanks to Ashley and Bethany who were there every step of the way to help design and execute all of the ideas we discussed. I could go on and write a whole book about just how special Ashley and Bethany are and the magic that they created for our special day - so if you are looking for event planners on the east coast - Ashley and Bethany at Southern Hospitality Weddings & Events are AMAZING! I’m going to truly miss working on my wedding with them, and I’m already hoping I can plan a party or event down the road so I can work with them again!

Also, I wanted to add how Ashley came to the rescue by helping with setting up and handling details for the night before / rehearsal dinner - to help reduce any stress for me for the weekend! During the rehearsal practice, the eve before the big day, everyone in my wedding party couldn’t stop complimenting on how efficient and great Ashley was at guiding us through the rehearsal for the ceremony!

I cannot thank Ashley and Bethany enough for planning our special day on the Outer Banks! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Ashley and Bethany are true stars at what they do! They worked with me as day of coordinators but they truly helped with so much leading up to the day. I am so thankful for their guidance, communication, ideas, support and knowledge. They made sure everything was in place, on time, looked amazing, and ran smoothly. Having them was a true joy!!
Southern Hospitality is a must hire for your events!!
