She was fun and easy to work with;…read moreweddings are very stressful, but she was always patient, calm, and ready with great advice and ideas. We live on the East Coast now, so planning a wedding in Colorado took a lot of coordination, but Ileen went above and beyond to help us find and interview vendors that we loved, and who made our day as beautiful as I'd imagined. We sat down and made a communication plan that worked and kept us on track for planning, and she was always available for me to reach out with any questions or problems asking the way. The day of was so easy and perfect! Everything was just how I wanted, and went off without a hitch! I was really able to relax and enjoy my wedding (maybe the greatest gift of all!)

They also didn't talk to the news channel about the situation. They made us come up with a list of belongings that were lost later telling us that they had no intention of repaying us the amount that was stolen while still trying to tell us it was not their fault and the bridal suite is "usually always locked". There also was a couple that married a year prior who had their ENTIRE card box stolen (we did not know about this before booking). If you're going to book at the nice venue then make sure and keep all nice things at home and don't leave ANYTHING valuable unattended.

She was able to guide me and given her opinions when I was obviously torn. At the end of the day, I'm not sure what I would have done without Ashlee!

We chose Wedgewood in January 2021 for our October 1, 2022, wedding with 100+ guests. Kayla was our amazing wedding coordinator and she made everything so simple for us. Every detail we asked for came with a "yes" answer. She had wonderful recommendations for us and she and the entire staff worked with all my ideas - no matter how "different" they were. In fact, we made a last-minute request for a late-night charcuterie board and the chef jumped in to make it happen - and it was spectacular! In fact all of the food was incredible! Our friends and family are all still talking about how it was the best food they'd ever had at an event or wedding. The planning phase was simple, organized, thorough, and extremely professional. I'm very much a "Type-A" person, and this one one of the few times in my life I was able to sit back and trust that others would get it right - would see my vision and run with it. Wedgewood was super accommodating to the vendors I chose to bring in for ceremony music (string quartet), florist, pastry chef/wedding cake and groom's cake, marquee letters, favors, balloons, and other extra touches. Day of - everything ran smoothly! Kayla and Mo were so kind, kept us updated and ready for the next part of the agenda...and kept us well-fed and hydrated! We only had one small hiccup during the reception (with availability of certain liquor we expected to have) - but Kayla went out of her way to make it right for us. I absolutely understand that things can happen, but it's how the team responds that makes the difference and the lasting impression. Kayla is exceptional! I highly recommend the Elite package (it's definitely worth it!), the "grand sparkler moment" at the reception grand entrance, the tortellini, the s'mores bar, a late-night snack, Wedgewood's preferred photographer - Tina Joiner, their preferred DJ - DJ Maestro, and their photo-booth option - Untamed Smiles. My favorite part of the process was Kayla's enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. It made me feel so confident that I was making all the right choices...and that my ideas weren't too crazy (having a sketch artist for our guests, we "buried the bourbon" on the property a month in advance for good weather... and dug it up on our wedding day, etc.). She was all for it and I truly appreciated her excitement for our traditions and ideas. Wedgewood is the Gold Standard in wedding venues! Without any hesitation, Highly Recommend!

Not only did she create a STUNNING design board that led all of the creative/design meetings with vendors; But she took a "feeling" that I had of "romantic, moody, fall" and TURNED IT INTO AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WEDDING. It was so special to see her ability to hear the vague words and create my perfect vision for my day that all of our guests commented was "so Ashli and Brad." On top of being a design queen, she also wrangled my bridal party and vendors and kept us on track day of (really month of, I did mostly nothing). She even got us caught up timeline-wise when I was about half an hour late to the venue! I cannot recommend Abbey enough. She is an absolute delight.
