  • My wedding was kind of perfect - thanks to Ashley

    Ashley of Blue Lark Events is a life saver. She helped me with venue research and day of services for a very reasonable fee. What I appreciated the most about Ashley is that she helped me stay organized. What I loved about Ashley was that she made some great suggestions and answered questions about what is common and she explained wedding trends. She saved me time, effort and money, as I otherwise would have made some decisions that were more expensive than were needed for the circumstances. One of the highlights of the wedding - that was loved by my guests and me - was Ashley's suggestion to do a photo bomb. Screw the photo both. You are the prop for people's photos. Stick the couple in the middle of the dance floor, play an upbeat song, and explain to everyone that they need to run behind the couple for a quick photo, taking turns. Rapid fire and in real time, those photos were hilarious. Folks grouped up for shots and couples jumped in our laps. Ashley also helped me source a really good photographer. What struck me the most was that I knew she was really great at her job after our various meetings over the course of many months, but my spouse didn't really interact with her much prior to the wedding. At the wedding he was like, "oh my God, Ashley has a sixth sense for whenever something is about to go wrong!" I was so smug - with a I told you so look in response. Be it a broken glass cigar ash tray that met the cement and is now attempting to ruin your shoes, an overturned umbrella making a run for it or that sound system that just is not acting as expected - she was there problem solving. After we got behind during the dinner speeches (which of course, she warned me about but I didn't police the speech writing), I lost all sense of control and LOVED IT. She was like you are dancing now, you are cutting cake now, you are photo bombing now - in much more rapid succession than had been planned. It was such a relief to just have someone handle us, as if we were celebrities getting ushered from one high profile moment to the next! Her quick action helped us make up time so that our guests weren't waiting around and so our vendors could be released on time. So why haven't you emailed Blue Lark Events yet? Do it now. PS - I included a picture that my photographer snapped right before the ceremony started. You can tell future hubbie needed to just be near someone and was regretting his decision to not have a groomsman wait with him. But it was fine, because Ashley's sixth sense was there. Always ready to calmly say what is about to happen and what will follow next. When I asked hubbie what Ashley said to him in this moment, he said, "I have no idea, but I guarantee you she was not freaking out like I was."

  • The Best Coordinator

    We are so extremely grateful for everything that Ashley has helped us with through this entire wedding process. We started working with her about 13 months out from the day, and were able to have monthly meetings to keep us on track and give us ideas/assistance as things came up. In addition to being our day of coordinator, she did our florals, which turned out to be everything I dreamed of! I’m a very meticulous person, and on our wedding day, I didn’t have to worry for a second about a thing because she was already on top of it. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in all the festivities knowing she had everything handled. Everyone needs an Ashley on their big day!

    My fiance Curtis and I reached out to Ashley in fall of 2022 after getting engaged, I knew I wanted to throw the party of my dreams to celebrate our commitment, but I had been involved in enough weddings to know how stressful putting together such an event can be. By hiring Ashley, not only did the wedding end up being exactly what we hoped it would be, but my number one wish was granted - the ability to actually relax, enjoy, and be present on the day of the event. We hired Ashley for planning, day of coordination, and also for floral. We got married on 6/29/24 - which means that Ashley saw us through the planning process for 20 MONTHS! Her communication and organization never let us down in all of that time. She listened to our needs, offered tidy spreadsheets that helped us stay in budget, and asked the questions we wouldn't have known to ask ourselves. Every vendor we hired (photographer, DJ, officiant, etc...) ended up being a great match because we described what kind of energy we were looking for in each person, and Ashley lined us up with easy interviews from people in her network. She was hands-on, doing venue tours and an on-site rehearsal. On the day of, she did all of the job delegation, timeline oversight, and vendor management, so I got to just hang out with my friends before the ceremony and enjoy the experience of getting married. The floral package she offered was perfect and definitely tied together the whole aesthetic of the event in a wonderful way. We highly recommend Blue Lark Events for any wedding or other big gathering that you want to be headache-free.

  • Contagious and Sincere Energy!

    Ashley with Blue Lark Events was everything we needed and more when it came to having a day of coordinator for our marriage in Oregon at the Heceta Head Bed and Breakfast! We planned everything sight unseen, never being in the actual state we were getting married in while planning, and never having met Ashley in person. She was very thoughtfully planful, provided all of the needed information to feel confident in preparation and paid attention to every fine detail the day of. She ensured everyone playing a major part in our big day felt prepared and ready in their role/timing and was such an asset. She kept so many things organized so I could just enjoy being a bride. I cannot leave a review without mentioning her contagious energy! She has the most positive spirit and energy. Our photographer told us at the end of the night she assumed we had been lifelong friends with Ashley. What more could we ask for than someone that fit in with our crew all day into the night! Thank you again, Ashley! I would happily work with you anytime.
