Throughout her college experiences she developed her passion for event planning by coordinating numerous events for her sorority and other campus organizations. Her real learning experience was gained throughout her two-year internship with The Outback Bowl, one of the largest and most respected college football games in the country. "Beginning my coordinating career with an event of over 65,000 people prepared me to take on any challenge this career may have to offer."

Since then, Ashly has coordinated many events including tradeshows, corporate meetings and events, holiday parties, charity events, bar/bat mitzvah’s, bridal/baby showers, quinceaneras, retirement parties, reunions, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and weddings of all sizes. This year, Ashly attended the Cater Source conference in Las Vegas, which is the largest conference in the country geared towards professionals in the fields of catering and events. The weeklong conference offered dozens of classes such as "Secrets of Being a Successful Caterer and Event Planner" and "The Knot.com’s latest Wedding Trends." Ashly recently attended the Engage08 symposium in Celebration, FL where she met with industry experts including world-renowned event designer, Preston Bailey.

As a wedding and event coordinator, Ashly is dedicated to the success of each event by ensuring to exceed her client’s expectations. Developing a personal relationship with each client is something that she believes is the key essential to making each event an affair to remember. From hand-making forty centerpieces, to driving four hours for a wedding cake tasting- her devotion is one of her greatest attributes. Her young, trendy and creative persona accompanies her level of sophistication that is unsurpassed in her industry. "My personal goal is to make the planning process of any event less stressful for my client; whether it’s a bride and groom or a large corporation."
