Carter & Tauni's Review ~ 9.11.2010

We originally thought we could plan our entire wedding ourselves. But as the day grew nearer we started to think that having a wedding planner handle things on the day of would be best. We attended an open house at the venue where we would be married. That is when we meet Ashley from Stargazer Weddings.

It became so evident on our wedding day that I didn't have a single worry in the world other than to enjoy our day, and have fun, and to be with people we love. We enjoyed our day SO much; and never once felt stressed. But I know that we felt this way because Ashley meticulously took care of all the details and fielded all the questions.

Hiring Ashley as our wedding coordinator was the best investment.... after all, you spent so much on your wedding. You better enjoy it to the fullest without any stress. :)

We met with Ashley to give her an idea of what we had in mind for our wedding. Our main hope was to have a relatively stress-free wedding day so that we could focus on our vows and enjoy the time we had with our guests.With Ashley as our planner, this goal was met.

The Planning

We emailed Ashley often to ask questions. Ashley also acted as the liaison between us and some of our vendors. Whenever we had a question for one of the vendors, Ashley contacted them and quickly got back to us with an answer. One of our friends helped out with the cake, and Ashley worked well with them her as well.

Ashley responded to all emails very promptly. (She is also available by phone.) We were in contact with her constantly throughout the last months of our planning. She kept us on track with what we needed to be working on. She is attentive, professional, open to feedback, and easy to work with.

A month before the wedding, we handed all vendor contact information over to Ashley and she took it from there. She confirmed with them all and made sure that all details were taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about the vendors from then on.

We thought that we would be really busy the week before the wedding, but since Ashley was taking care of all of the details, we didn’t have anything else to do besides enjoy time with our guests who were arriving from out-of-town.

The Day of the Wedding

Ashley created a Timeline for the day of the wedding. we had a copy of the Timeline, but didn’t look at it at all. Ashley and her team took care of all of the logistics, everything ran smoothly, and I was able to enjoy the day without thinking about vendors, details, or timing. I was able to focus on my vows and enjoy the company of my friends and family.

Overall, without Ashley, our wedding planning process and wedding day would have been very different and, I imagine, much more stressful. Hiring Ashley was the best decision we made and the best money we spent. My wife and I would recommend Ashley and Stargazer Weddings to anyone!
