  48 Hour Wedding Reception

  I called Ashley on Wednesday night of wedding week after our plans fell through at our reception venue. Ashley showed up at 10am the next morning and went right to work putting together the most intimate and idealic wedding reception we could have ever wanted right at our home. Ashley went out of her way to iron out all the missed details, took initiative, and even lent a hand to the servers when it was clear they needed it. Her industry connections enabled us to book new vendors and service staff on basically one-day’s notice, all perfectly suited to our needs. Her professionalism, Johnny-on-the-spot attention, and clear passion for her craft ensured the entire evening went off without a hitch. We are deeply grateful for her services and she has our highest recommendation.

  Incredible!

  Natalie is REMARKABLE at her job. Because of her, my now husband & I could relax and enjoy our whole wedding day. I truly don't know how we could have pulled off our wedding without her. I would recommend Natalie to ANYONE! Game changer for sure.

  Absolutely Amazing

  Ashley was our day of coordinator and the only thing I regret is not letting her coordinate the entire wedding. She was extremely responsive to all of my Type A questions and concerns. She had answers before I had questions. Soooo professional, organized and meticulous. We planned to have an outdoor wedding, however the forecast changed the day of the wedding and the temperature dropped drastically & it ended up raining. Not ideal for an outdoor ceremony. Ashley quickly assured me not to worry and she went above and beyond to make the ceremony Everything. She worked with my vendors to change the initial plans that we had made in order to accommodate the rain, she helped with our linens, she took the stress out of timing wedding events (first dance, cake cutting etc..) I was able to truly enjoy my husband and our guests without the stress of the planning. She made sure that from the time we walked inside we had drinks, food and were comfortable. It took me a year to plan our wedding but due to circumstances beyond our control our entire ceremony had to be changed but with Ashley’s experience & background she made sure we had the best night ever. Outside of choosing my husband to marry Ashley was hands down THE BEST decision I made regarding our wedding. Now that the wedding is over I actually miss her - Ha! Would recommend for any bride or event!!!!!

  Worth every penny

  My husband and I were on the fence about a wedding planner, but luckily we went ahead and spent the extra money for peace of mind. Ashley was worth every single penny. She helped make decisions on the little things that can seem frivolous, yet daunting (Do you need corsages? Who walks down the aisle with whom?) and also helped us to see the big picture and how it would all come together. The day of, Ashley really helped make our wedding beautiful, special (hooking us up with a private dinner as husband/wife), and run so smoothly. Bonus- she is such a nice person and has the cutest outfits :) HIGHLY recommend!

  Hiring Natalie from 117 Event Design was then best decision I made for my wedding and the best money I spent. Everyone talked about great she was and how much she was involved. She truly cares about her brides and I would hire her again in a heart beat. <3

  I could not ask for a better Planner!! Natalie made the wedding happen with such very little stress for me and my family. I had no experience with weddings! Natalie helped me know, and complete, all my tasks! I would recommend Natalie to anyone! She is professional and personal at the same time. She became a member of our family during this time! I could not have had anyone better to lean on during all this activity and emotions.

  I didn't think I wanted or needed a planner, so we went with a day of planner just to help keep the night running smoothly, and I am so glad we chose Ashley! She was very professional and helped the night flow very naturally, there was nothing forced, no awkward overly planned things. She would just come up to me at a natural kind of break and say "hey, how about we do the cake cutting, etc." it was perfect. I wasn't being pulled away from my guests or being told what to do and when to do it. She was so helpful!

  I worked with Natalie from 117 Events for day of coordinating. She is incredible at what she does. She is a wonderful person to work with because of her positive attitude and beautiful spirit. She has knowledge far beyond her years and openly shares every bit of it. I can't say enough good things about Natalie. She wasn't just my wedding coordinator, she was also my friend. She was there for me the entire day of the wedding, checking on everything to make sure everything was okay and ready to jump at anything we threw at her. I loved working with her! I highly recommend that you look no further than 117 events!

  Natalie was amazing! She was always able to answer any questions I had at any time. She helped keep me as a bride together instead of falling about. She worked hard to make sure that my day was everything I had hoped for. She was so great to work with. She went above and beyond what I expected from her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator!

  Natalie was fabulous! She made the whole day go smoothly and dealt with any potential problems that arose. I live in another state so I didn't have a lot of time in Memphis to plan, but 117 Event Design did a terrific job.

  Natalie Chrestman 117 Event designs was beyond amazing! She was my day of Coordinator for my wedding, and I don't think I could have made my vision come to life without her. From a last minute panic from a rain forecast, to setting up my complicated decor items, and managing all the vendors she stayed professional and super organized. She was always available to answer any question I had before the big day, and kept me a calm and happy bride during the event. I cannot recommend Natalie enough, worth every penny and more for her experience and expertise!

Knowing Ashley had it covered, I was able to dance, visit, and enjoy my own wedding!!

  I cannot express how wonderful it was working with Ashley during the planning, rehearsal and the wedding of our daughter last weekend. She was calming, professional, and the extra pair hands I needed. I would highly recommend her and 117 events for your wedding needs. Thanks, Ashley!

  Ashley Oldham and 117 Event Design was invaluable to us on our wedding weekend. She was a pleasure to work with, professional, prompt, and always calm. Ashley easily assumed the stress of handling the small (and sometimes big) issues/details of a wedding weekend allowing me, my groom, and more importantly, my mom, to relax and truly enjoy the ceremony and reception. We were working under a pretty set budget and decided to splurge a little in hiring a wedding-weekend coordinator. Ashley was worth every penny and then some. My mom and I would give Ashley Oldham and 117 Event Designs our highest recommendation to anyone planning a large event, especially a wedding.
