Top 5 I'm Jessica, the founder of Jessica Ashley Events. Planning and design is my passion and after many years of entrepreneurship I founded this business to pursue my dream of being one of the top designers and planners in the industry. My goal was to create something uniquely authentic to who I am and be a wave of positivity within our industry. I did this by teaching myself and finding what works best for us and our clients, always focusing on their priorities and the overall guest experience. I also created an insanely talented network of luxury wedding vendors who go above and beyond for us (because we intentionally make their jobs easier!)

Jessica was literally the best! Prewedding she helped my wife and I to find A+ vendors within our budget. She answered all our questions to the best of her knowledge with the years she has been in the business. She was very open minded when it came to ideas we wanted for the wedding and reception but also gave great advice on some dos and don'ts from her experience. On the day of she was attentive, kept the whole wedding on schedule, and was so sweet and nice by asking if me or any of my groomsmen needed anything throughout the day. She even saved the day when mine and my brother's suit came without a tie! She dealt the situation very calmly and went got 2 ties from a store close by and fixed it all with ease. I didn't just feel like a client. I felt like her friend. If you aren't hiring Jessica, are you really hiring a wedding planner?
Hiring Jessica Ashley was the best decision that we could have made when planning our wedding. She was thorough, kind, reassuring, positive, and has the most amazing attention to details. Jessica works with Rebecca who was equally amazing with all the things. Jessica was happy to work with me, my (now) husband, my mom, and my (now) mother in law. She worked with all of the people that I threw at her, and she was equally accessibly to them as she always was with me. She was so flexible, accommodating, and professional, and when our choices were a bit atypical for a wedding, she was NEVER judgmental and worked with us to make it all a reality. Jessica has the best relationships with vendors, and made amazing recommendations. She also worked super well with our venue, a place where she had never worked before. The coordinator at our venue was so thankful that she was leading the charge, because she was so organized, thorough, and detail oriented. On the day of the wedding, Jessica was reassuring, fun, kept things moving super smoothly, and was able to manage all of the emotions and stress of me, my husband, and our families with a smile on her face. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Jessica and Jessica Ashley Events. I would recommend Jessica to anyone ever. We are endlessly grateful that we hired JAE.
After our first call with Jessica, we knew that she would be the perfect planner to help us with our wedding. She started by crafting a beautiful design plan based on her vision and Pinterest board. We proceeded to meet in person and over the phone to work through all details. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she helped us every step of the way! Part of what made the planning process run so smoothly was that she had great relationships with all of our vendors and had seen their work over the years. Her relationships, design expertise, and support led to an outstanding experience not just for us, but for our guests that mean the world to us. 14 months after our introductory call, Jessica was able to bring that design plan to life and create the most special day of our lives.
Working with Jessica was the greatest experience. Whenever people ask me how my wedding was turned into my absolute dream, I always say I had the best wedding planner on earth (and I’m not exaggerating). She made it ALL happen. Every detail, every communication, seamless and easy. To top it off she’s an incredible person who will always be in your corner even after your wedding day! Couldn’t recommend her more.
Jessica is truly exceptional--both as a wedding planner and person.
2020 has been a very difficult year in terms of wedding planning--something I experienced firsthand. When our first destination wedding was cancelled due to COVID, Jessica stepped in to help us plan the perfect wedding locally. I was completely overwhelmed by the idea of planning another wedding, but Jessica made the process simple and enjoyable. She has a great relationship with vendors and also truly listens to her brides which made it so easy to plan again. Beyond her talents as a planner and designer, she is such a kind person and for that, I am so grateful to have worked with her.

We are so grateful for Jessica Ashley Events and to have had Jessica not only as a part of our special day but walking alongside of us throughout the entire wedding planning process. Jessica is so talented, professional, organized, easy to work with, and fun to be around! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding planner whether that is for the entire process or just for day of coordination. Jessica helped us create our dream wedding! She gave us various design proposals, high quality vendor recommendations, coordinated with our vendors, set up and attended in person meetings and walk throughs, and made the day of run so smoothly. At the end of the night, everything was cleaned and packed up by her staff making it easy for family and guests to enjoy the night. We are so grateful for Jessica and all of her help in planning and replanning our dream wedding! Jessica Ashley Events was the best investment we made with our wedding budget! We couldn't have done it without her staff!
We are very happy to have made the decision to hire Jessica and her team to plan and help execute our wedding day! We hired Jessica a few years before we were able to get married due to delays in construction and then of course the pandemic! This caused us to postpone twice and Jessica stayed with us throughout the entire process and was extremely accommodating to all of our last-minute changes. We decided to get married on our private farm and Jessica and her team helped us navigate everything from the tent, shuttles, catering to portable restrooms, and everything in between. She was with us from start to finish. We were very impressed with her knowledge (of everything pertaining to weddings), her professionalism, flexibility, attention to detail, responsiveness, work ethic, patience, and overall kindness shown throughout the wedding planning process. Jessica and her team really try hard to ensure your vision comes to fruition. They also had given us recommendations on other vendors, who were all wonderful. Our wedding day really turned out beautiful and we have received so many compliments since. It would not have been a success without Jessica and her team. They met with us several times leading up to the wedding day and were absolutely incredible to have by your side on the day of! We were so confident knowing Jessica and her team were handling everything. They really make sure your special day is perfect and flawless! We would recommend her to anyone!!
I’ve run companies for a long time and have been around a lot of people over the years but the professionalism Jessica and her team bring are some of the best I’ve ever seen. When I watched Jesica who was on-site the entire 3 day weekend show the staff how the bride wanted the napkins folded I knew she was detail oriented. I would hesitate to give a review anytime for her.
Who knew! To say that Jessica and her team were amazing, would be an understatement. Being the MOB, I never understood why a wedding planner was even necessary. Well, after this weekend, and two amazing weddings, I can say with 100% certainty Jessica and her team are not only appreciated, but necessary. With all the craziness that comes with a wedding, it is nice to know that your special day is in the hands of a team that is capable of handling any situation with decorum, grace, and confidence.
Jessica is the best! I worked with Jessica for the design of my wedding, and after going through the whole process, only wish we had used her for full planning! Jessica helped articulate and bring our vision to life, and helped us incorporate unique elements to our relationship into the day. Jessica has a great eye, she's practical as it relates to budget, and she is so kind. I would recommend her to anyone!
