I have multiple friends who have had Sharon as their event planner and those friends would continuously talk about how amazing Sharon is (even after all these years) I am the world's pickiest person in EVERYTHING. I drive my family, friends and husband crazy from how precise I need things to be. The fact that I fell in love with Sharon's attentiveness, detail and efficiency is absolutely foreign to me. It takes a lot for me to be impressed and I was blown out of the waters by her work. She took care of everything and didn't allow me to lift a finger. I said this to her before and I truly mean it, my day would have fallen short from perfection without her. Thank you for everything you've done for me Sharon!

Sharon is truly a master at her craft. I can honestly say that I had the wedding of my dreams…read morebecause of her. I had no idea where to even begin. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming. Especially for someone like me who is very go with the flow and hates planning. But with Sharon's guidance, every single detail is so thoughtfully planned out. She has so much experience under her belt that she doesn't miss a beat. She literally thinks about every single little thing which makes everything so easy and seamless. My wedding was absolute perfection and I owe it all to Sharon. I could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more perfect planner! Thank you thank you thank you!

Gahhh!!! Where to start! Kari was amazing! Starting off, I didn't think I would need her but boyyy…read morewas I wrong! Kari was a God sent! My hubby and I got engaged in February of this year and just had our wedding two weeks ago. Not much time for planning but she pulled it off. When she asked us what we were going for we gave her a very vague list of jess and david-isms and must haves and she, like a magician, used her magic to helped us shape our vision. We somehow managed to incorporate everything we wanted in our wedding. Our vision was "Ocean Meets the Mountains" and what better way to show that than with a PNW theme. For one day only, Washington came to Palmdale! Kari helped with everything. Decorations, planning, organizing vendors, finding vendors, premarital counseling...she does it all! She was so involved in making sure we were on top of our duties and making sure we used that darn checklist. (aisle planner, trust me, you want this). Kari went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. So yes, 1000000% use Ashdown Events. Tell her everything you want even if its crazy and let her work her magic to make your event amazing! Included are a few pictures of details from our wedding.

It was "enchanted forest amongst the dinosaurs" themed and had little nods to timeless films like Harry Potter, Edward Scissorhands, Jurassic Park, etc. Imagine a client telling you they want all that along with having to deal with very particular museum restrictions! Well, let me tell you... she went above and beyond to accomplish this eccentric bride's dream wedding!! Take it from me, weddings can be super overwhelming for a bride. Like decisions of what color napkins look good on the sweetheart table to how they coordinate with the linens on the cocktail tables, to making sure all the build staff are on the same page behind the scenes, to paperwork and communicating with all the dozens of vendors. I could not imagine doing this by myself! My head would have exploded! Not only was the design and organizing aspect completely handled and managed by Kari, she was also my personal therapist through months of planning and dealing with typical wedding pressures. Kari is a powerful force who gets the job done. She will let you cry on her shoulder and she will step up for you if you need someone who can grab 'em by the balls! I recommend Kari completely and if I had to do it all over again, I would hire her again and again. I plan to hire her when we renew our vows in 10 years and I'm sure I'll come up with an even more elaborate theme for her to play with. Get ready Kari!! Working with Kari was the most therapeutic experience of the entire wedding. She held my hand every step of the way, had patience for all my indecisiveness, and kept me sane on top of it all. The final product was literally ripped from my imagination and executed flawlessly. It was all a beautiful dream! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kari! Mara Rouse-Turbin

Kindred is an amazing and beautiful venue. The owners and staff are incredible, very professional,…read morethe food delicious. I have been to a few events and Kindred does not disappoint, the decor is stunning, the space is an open floor plan, which allows for everyone to move around and not be crowded.

Carolina Beach is fortunate to have this venue.

We found Sarah because we were looking for a coordinator who was familiar with smaller weddings and…read moreknew how to run them well. We wanted to handle a lot of the design and finding vendors ourselves, so we decided to use her day-of-coordinator services. Sarah was so great at making us feel comfortable, planning out the schedule, and assuaging our fears about things going wrong. She was definitely a huge help in making sure our day went as smoothly as possible and so that we could actually enjoy the day, rather then fret about the details and who was where. Her checklists, timelines, and organization were so valuable, especially with all the changes COVID brought. We appreciate her thoughtful and super friendly demeanor to keep everyone feeling calm and happy throughout the day.

Our entire day went so smooth and everything flowed seamlessly - not just outwardly for our guests, but behind the scenes as well. It was enjoyable and so much fun working with them. They also worked so well with all of our other vendors, you'd think they had all worked together before. I could not recommend Alexis and Cheers Event Company more! They are the best of the best.

She helped on so many levels and at the end of the day we had an absolutely amazing beautiful perfect wedding that will remain one of my favorite days of all time!

Any issues that arose day she immediately took care of and I felt so comforted knowing that if we needed something she was on top of it. She goes above and beyond what is expected of her and that's how you know she genuinely loves what she does. Her crew did the lighting at our venue orcutt ranch and it turned out beautiful. They did the bistro string lights and several chandeliers all over to give it some dimension. I would absolutely hire her and her team for any event and especially a wedding. She's very quick to answer questions and easy to communicate with. She's experienced and it shows. We can't thank you enough Christine!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sterling Engagements and their entire team of…read moreprofessional and experienced staff. We were looking for a wedding planner to help us plan and coordinate our big day at Cielo Farms but were unfamiliar with the area and who to turn to for vendors. Luckily, Sterling Engagements took care of everything. It seemed like whenever an issue came up or we needed a reference, they knew exactly who to talk to, which made the introduction/planning coordination seamless. Our planner, Alexandra, always made us feel important and her top priority which helped during the most stressful times of planning and as the wedding day came closer, we did not worry once because we knew Sterling Engagements had it under control. Our wedding day could not have been more of a dream come true with every detail picture perfect thanks to the wonderful team at SE. I would highly recommend Sterling Engagements for your wedding or party designing needs. They are the hardest working group you will find with an attention to detail that keeps you calm, composed, and confident. Thank you to the incredible team at Sterling Engagements for making our wedding day an amazing experience that we will cherish forever.

My wife and I just wrapped our wedding with Heather and don't have enough words to express our…read moregratitude and how much we would recommend Heather to others! We met her at an open house for the LA River Center and our wedding was planned for April 2020. Well, covid and the universe had other plans for us but Heather wouldn't let that stop her and delivered big, skillfully navigating the craziness of Covid cancellations, postponements and pivots. Throughout the planning phase, Heather helped us navigate vendor selection, review contracts and had tons of best & worst practices to share with us. Plus, when I threw out a random idea or wanted a specific late night taco truck, she did her damndest to make it happen. We basically had our entire wedding planned, then rebooked at the LA River Center for April 2021. Heather helped us get all of our vendors to cooperate and switch the date, and then when the April 2021 wedding was cancelled she got them all to honor our deposits for "a party to be determined at a future unknown date and location". That location ended up being our backyard, and man was it a good party. For having rentals, flowers, dj, caterer, porto potty, photo booth, liquor delivery and all kinds of people in and out of my house, Heather managed it incredibly well and it was no where near as stressful or complicated of a process as it sounds. Over the 2 years of knowing Heather and planning all different versions of our wedding she is a friendly and charming person to work with. It was a pleasure getting to know her and having her get to know us and our quirks to have a wedding that truly reflected us. And let me tell you, the day of a switch was flipped and she was in the freakin' zone! She was everywhere at once doing everything that needed to be done and things my wife and I wouldn't have dreamed of. She would pop up out of nowhere with a plate of hors d'oeuvres and a drinks for me and my wife and next second she'd be handling coordinating with the staff to break down tables to free up the dance floor. She's awesome, incredibly well priced and worth every damn penny and more!
