A perfect wedding thanks to Ashley!

Hiring Ashley as our wedding planner was truly one of the best decisions we made! We opted for her full-service package as we were planning a fusion Indian-American wedding and knew we would need someone experienced to help guide us through the process of planning. Especially since we are based in Boston, having Ashley as our local expert was invaluable. She not only managed all the logistics but also helped us navigate the unique challenges of planning a destination wedding from afar.

From the very beginning, Ashley was warm, attentive, and deeply committed to our vision. She took the time to understand what we wanted and guided us through each element of our wedding with ease and creativity. She provided unique ideas that felt aligned with our style and helped us personalize the details to reflect our cultures and personalities.

When an unexpected issue arose with our original venue, Ashley’s vigilance saved us from a potentially stressful situation. She caught the problem early on—something we likely wouldn't have known about until it was too late if it weren't for her. Because of her expertise and local connections, she helped us seamlessly transition to a new venue that turned out to be perfect. Due to the venue change, Ashley ended up working with us for nearly three years as we replanned, adjusted, and finalized everything. She handled every change and delay with absolute grace, patience, and adaptability. Working with her was always a pleasure; she truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was not only beautiful but also reflective of who we are. She helped us stick to our budget without sacrificing any of the meaningful details, and her vendor recommendations were spot-on.

Thanks to Ashley, our wedding was genuinely everything we dreamed of. We can’t imagine having done this without her!

Ashley was an angel sent from above.

My husband and I are from Toronto, and for anyone that had a destinitation wedding know how hard it is to trust people let alone people from far far away from you. But I had no choice, searched “Banff wedding coordinator in Google” and there she is.

We hired Ashley as our day of coordinator for our wedding and she was nothing but an angel sent from above. She graciously helped us with everything along with another lady (please forgive me I forgot her name but she was also amazing) and made our dream wedding came to life and more.

I am beyond grateful for everything because it was honestly an unforgettable day not only because it was one of the most awaited event of our lives but also because I didnt feel any stress that day. From early morning til the end Ashley and her amazing partner made sure everything was in order. Its been 4 months and everytime we reminisce our wedding day, we cant help but always mention Ashley’s name. Even my 9 y/o daughter would always say how nice Ashley was, she would say “Ashley is the best, i miss her” and im not kidding!

I whole heartedly recommend her as she is one of the best in the game.
ASHLEY, thank you so very much for the most wonderful and most amazing day of our lives.

Thankful for Ashley!

Ashley was amazing leading up to the wedding and especially the day of. I wanted to make sure I enjoyed my wedding day and was not stressed out. From making a great itinerary of the day to helping with decor, Ashley was a life saver. I appreciate all her help and recommendations when it came to flowers, decor, timing, and all the little things you don't really think about. The wedding went very smoothly and if something did happen, it was not noticed which was great! We were on time and everything went smoothly. I am very happy to she was there for us on our special day. Thank you Ashley!

The best decision

Hiring Ashley was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. A guest literally said to me “I have been to a lot of weddings and yours is in the Pole Position!” And Ashley made it so. I was a bit worried and read a lot of reviews. The negative ones I remember seeing about Ashley was exactly what I loved: she wasn’t around, she was in the background making sure I didn’t see a single hiccup! She met with us the day before the wedding to ease our minds and answer all of our questions.
She brought the flowers for the bridal party, made sure the ceremony site, and separate reception site were set up perfectly.
She coordinated with all of the vendors and created the timeline. My guests and wedding party commented on how great she was, and I have some organized and thoughtful friends, so this was a very high compliment to Ashley!

Amazing Experience!

Wedding planning is overwhelming. Ashley is an absolute star and she made the whole process so much easier! Our wedding was so wonderful and I can't say enough good things about her services! Ashley had great communication throughout the planning period and was so helpful and patient in answering our many, many questions. She had awesome suggestions for vendors and decor, especially the little things that you tend to overlook. We had so many compliments from guests about how well put together the decor was, and how smoothly the whole day went.
On the day of our wedding, we had some family unexpectedly show up after telling us earlier they couldn't make it. What could have been a crisis was handled by her in less than 30 minutes and our day went perfectly after that! If you're lost in the planning process or feel overwhelmed, Signature Weddings is the perfect choice, I would highly recommend!!

Ashley is an Amazing Wedding Planner!

Ashley was an absolutely amazing wedding planner! We hired Ashley to fully service our destination wedding in Banff! It was very critical for our wedding planner to be our eyes and ears and make sure everything is on track and Ashley did just that! We were very satisfied with her support and guidance. Her sense of style, attention to detail, and flexibility was amazing! She also worked around our busy schedule over the last year and was very accommodating. She didn’t just get things done, but she did it in an extremely positive and fun way which made the entire journey enjoyable. She exceeded all of our expectations! To all future groom and brides out there, we highly recommend Ashley. Just set up an introduction with her and you’ll know what we are talking about!

Would not recommend

I hired Ashley as our full service wedding planner for our destination wedding in Canmore. I thoroughly researched my options and felt that I had a very different experience from those described by other clients. My negative experiences were due to poor communication despite addressing the delayed response time early on in our planning process.

The month prior to our wedding was incredibly frustrating. She forgot about our scheduled phone meeting initially the month prior to the wedding which can understandably happen, but then we received no response for a week or more at a time when trying to reschedule twice. After three and a half weeks of responding to emails with an available time and not receiving a response, we were unable to schedule a time to talk prior to us traveling to Canada for the wedding to ask our final questions.

We didn’t receive a reminder and found out four weeks after the final numbers were due with our florist that we missed the deadline for altering our final count for centerpieces. This mistake resulted in us paying $900 in excess flowers. I spoke to the florist myself two weeks prior to the wedding to determine a backup plan for redesigning arrangements with the extra flowers we unfortunately purchased.

In another instance, I emailed Ashley a week prior to the due date and the morning the adjustments were due to confirm our decor numbers and rental items were accurate. I did not receive any response. I again had to contact the vendor myself on the due date and hope that the final count and items themselves were correct. I didn’t receive any reminder these adjustments and payments for the decor were due and would have paid over $450 for excess linens and other items had I not handled this myself. The week of the wedding she did make adjustments with the company for the correct linen size.

I trusted that these basic wedding planner duties would be done without my having to pay attention to every little detail, which was the reason I hired a full service wedding planner. I was much more stressed than I would have liked the weeks prior to the wedding and on my wedding day because I didn’t have trust that tasks would be done as they were supposed to based on my previous experiences. Although we had an amazing day with our family and friends, I would not recommend booking Ashley as your wedding planner.

Ashley is a planner extraordinaire and worth every penny!

Ashley was beyond marvelous for us on our wedding. We chose the day of planning with her but she made she we had ourselves in order at designated checkpoints. She is incredibly organized, and it is truly amazing how she runs her company, ON HER OWN, which is a testament to her abilities. Leading up to the wedding she also had our back and protected us as clients against vendors who tried to take advantage of us, which I could not appreciate more. That alone won her for us. But on the actual day she was calm and collected, made sure everything ran smoothly, and our guests had the most epic time, including ourselves, and there is no greater endorsement than that! Highly recommended, thanks Ashley!

A perfect wedding day thanks to Ashley!!

Ashley made our destination wedding a dream come true! I hired Ashley for the full wedding planning service, and boy am I so glad I did. She was my constant support system through the entire planning process.

I had screened at least three other planners before I found Ashley, and I had a gut feeling right from our first phone call conversation that she was the one. She is professional, calm, and very responsive. She made me comfortable and confident that my now husband and I could plan a wedding in Banff long distance, and avoid an extravagant price.

One of the things I value most about Ashley is her organization and thoughtfulness. She is direct in what needs to be done, but is sensitive and doesn't overwhelm you. She has suggestions that come from experience, but is never forceful. She always reinforces this is YOUR day and is very accommodating, like allowing us to ship decor items ahead of time directly to her for holding. Ashley did all of the communication and bookings with our other vendors and was my sounding board in all the decision making. I was glad to meet her months before the wedding day when we visited Banff to finalize things at the venue site. She scoped things out with us and helped direct the discussions we had with our venue coordinator.

Come wedding day, everything was more beautiful than I could have imagined! Ashley created a thorough itinerary that left none of us wondering where to be, or what we should be doing. She was very present in our day, and I can’t thank her enough for her service and guidance over the course of our year, and then some, of planning. I would recommend Ashley to any bride-to-be!
