Elite Elegance Events

Fantastic experience: First of all, Ashley of Elite Elegance IS AN ANGEL IN HUMAN FORM. This review cannot even begin to express the gratitude we have for Ashley and her extraordinary wedding planning talents. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND what we ever imagined possible! My husband and I had two wedding venues fall through last year due to one burning down and the other because of our family member selling her house and the backyard attached, where we were going to have our small and intimate wedding. We had three months to plan a wedding and did not want to push it off to the following year… Then I found Ashley on the Reno Women Owned Business FB site. I posted about needing a wedding planner, and fast, and Ashley’s name came up many times. Thankfully, she had availability and said she could plan it in three months, which is a miracle. I’m not suggesting to ANYONE to plan a wedding in three months. I think that might be borderline insane. However, I’m a bit cra cra in a neuro-spicey kind of way and happens. I also knew it was possible, finally, with the help of an angelic wedding planner. Ashley is incredibly creative, thoughtful, brilliant, kind, patient, loving, funny, wise, communicative and again…SO PATIENT. I worked really hard on NOT being Bridezilla, and Ashley met us EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, and then some. She also has so many creative ideas of how we could customize our wedding to mine and my husband and me’s eccentric ideas (we had quite a few non-traditional, multi-ethnic requests.) PLEASE HIRE HER. If I could give 100,000 stars, I would. Our wedding turned out to be one of the most cherished memories of our lives for my husband and me, and for all who attended. Months later, we still have people express how beautiful, special, fun and memorable it was…because it was. ASHLEY, I LOVE YOU. Thank you for making our dreams come true. HIRE ASHLEY AS YOUR WEDDING EARTH ANGEL. SHE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

Fantastic experience: Ashley literally saved us with her expertise, knowledge and behind the scenes creativity helping us plan our daughter’s cross country wedding. We could never accomplish what she put together in a short time frame. Ashley was available by text or phone at a moment’s notice and never made any question feel dumb or unimportant. We cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Working with Ashley from Elite Elegance wedding & Event planning was an absolute dream from start to finish. Ashley went above and beyond, handling every detail with precision and care. Her support was unwavering, not just in managing vendors and timelines but in being a steady, calming presence that kept me grounded when things felt overwhelming. What truly set Ashley apart was her genuine kindness and dedication. She listened intently to my concerns, always offering thoughtful solutions and respecting my vision. It wasn’t long before she felt more like a friend than just a planner, always available day or night to provide reassurance and guidance. Ashleys passion for her work shined through in every moment, making me feel valued and heard throughout the entire process. Thanks to Elite Elegance Wedding & event planning, although my wedding was far from perfect due to weather not cooperating I’m beyond grateful for Ashley’s hard work, friendship, and the beautiful memories she helped create. Anyone lucky enough to work with Ashley will feel the same!

Fantastic experience: Ashley was great and I would highly recommend her services. My husband and I agreed it was the best decision we made for our wedding. The amount of time and stress she saved us was priceless and allowed us to just focus on our day and enjoy it. It was clear that this is her passion and that she really enjoys her job! We had no desire to plan a wedding and came to her with the venue (church/hall) and five months to plan. She customized a plan for us that prioritized what we wanted while staying within our budget and timeline. Since we were both out of state, she also worked with us to make sure we were in the loop as much as possible with virtual meetings with her and vendors, and she provided her number to reach her if we had any questions. She also did our invitations, centerpieces, and so much more. We are so thankful we found her!

Fantastic experience: Ashley from Elite Elegance was our wedding savior! The process of booking her and picking out a wedding package was very easy, and she immediately came in with her organization skills to ease the wedding day anxiety. Ashley worked with me to create the design for our day and was able to find everything we wanted to make our vision come true. Ashley played many roles including coordinator, decorator, faux flower florist, and emotional support person for all things wedding! I truly can’t stress how important she was and how helpful she was during this day, I will forever be greatful!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend a wedding planner, & Elite elegance was definitely the best choice I could have made. I wasn’t too sure what I wanted for my wedding as she made sure to ask just the right questions. After our consult she layout a vision board which I loved because it helped me picture my wedding day! She is very creative, crafty, helpful, resourceful, & flexible to any changes I wanted. There was definitely great communication within my less than 6 month wedding, I always felt like I can get my question answered within the end of the day and didn’t feel pressured when I didn’t respond. She emailed all of my vendors and when I had questions she would do everything possibly to get me an answer or change something from that vendor. The week of the wedding I was told by so many friends and family member that I was the calmest bride they’d ever seen & honestly I thank Ashley for that !

Fantastic experience: I never could have imagined how much goes into wedding planning. As exciting as getting married and celebrating with friends and family sounds, it was a daunting mountain of time-consuming and expensive tasks (especially with both of us working full time jobs). So, we found an amazing wedding planner! Ashley with Elite Elegance, is professional, efficient, and such a pleasure to work with. She made the to-do lists manageable and helped us stay on track. She helped us compare prices of different vendors and find what is right for us. She did a bunch of DIY things to make our vision come true. She set up phone/video meetings, answered texts and was readily available for updates AND meltdowns. She is passionate about her job and it truly shows! The day-of, she had some help, but pulled off a job that required her to be in 4 different places at once. Im happy to say that it was an incredible day, one we will never forget, and we couldn't have pulled it off without Ashley.

Fantastic experience: Recently I had the honor of working with Ashley & Elite Elegance Wedding & Event Planning. Working with her was seamless. As a DJ/MC & Photo booth with my own company (JAM Entertainment) it was a truly great experience. She knew the vision of the client and also allowed for us to do what we do for the client. To be able to collaborate as to creatives really made the clients event next level! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I just want to thank Ashley for giving my soon to be Husband an above and beyond one of a kind incredible birthday party! She had less than 2 days to come up with a party around the theme I asked for. She managed to over exceed any expectations I had and it was a mouth dropping moment for my Fiancé. Ashley has a true gift and she deserves to be recognized for the outstanding wedding & event planner that she is. I am excited to have her in line for when the time comes to plan my special day, I know she will create a moment for us that we will never forget.

Fantastic experience: Ashley made our wedding a dream come true. She was always available during the planning process and did everything needed to create a gorgeous event. The wedding was absolutely perfect and hiring her was hands down the best decision we could have made. With our busy schedules there was no way we could have done what she did, and in such a little amount of time too. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a beautiful and stress-free wedding. Thank you so much for everything Ashley! You are the best!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Ashley is one of the kindest people I’ve met. She really cares about what she does. She will go above and beyond to make sure that things go smoothly and your day is wonderful. If it weren’t for her, we would have had a giant catastrophe, but because it was in Ashley’s hands, I knew it was going to turn out just fine. She not only is a professional, but has become a friend. Please hire her for your wedding!! You will not regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Ashley went above and beyond all expectations for our wedding. I know our day would not have happened period, let alone been as beautiful or easy for me and my husband without her. Not only did she help plan and fully execute our wedding, she also used her artistic abilities to make one-of-a-kind decorations, like our table seating chart, that made our day feel even more unique and special. She is the consummate professional, and also just a great person. I am so grateful to have worked with her, and cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Ashley was the most amazing wedding planner I could have asked for. She was always so transparent, responsive, and easy to work with. She handled coordinating a COVID wedding so well, even when faced with challenges. She was very easy to communicate with, kept everything well organized, answered any and all questions that we had throughout the process. I would recommend Ashley to anyone searching for a wedding planner. She was simply the best!

Fantastic experience: Ashley did an amazing job! My wedding was elegant and intimate, exactly what I wanted. Ashley was easy to work with and always available when I needed her. She is a true professional with great resources. The wedding turned out perfectly. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I learned of Elite Elegance thru my husbands sister. When she told me about getting a wedding coordinator I said no I can do it on my own. We were doing a DIY wedding and I figured it wouldn't be worth the money. My in-laws bought us a package with Ashely and it was the BEST thing they did for me. Ashely is so knowledgeable and reassuring. She was always quick to respond. I was able to call her and she would pick up no matter what time. I felt comfortable handing over my vision for my wedding and all of my crazy plans and ideas. She advised us on what she thought would work and what wouldn't but never pushed us to do anything. She made my day PERFECT! So worth the cost and much more! You wont be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: Ashley is amazing she put together a Bachelorette party and a bridal shower that was everything I would want I can't wait to use her again for my next events
