We booked with Ashley at Velvet Bordeaux Events a year ago with the Full Planning Package for our Montreal wedding because between work schedules and living in L.A., we didn’t have the time or tools to plan our dream wedding.

Ashley was extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire planning process! Planning a wedding abroad is not the easiest task not to mention factoring in time differences and then having the actual wedding in a totally separate province from where our planner was located but she surpassed any and all visions we had!

We can honestly say now, we don’t get why couples say planning a wedding is so stressful. Ashley made this experience the most seamless, enjoyable and stress free experience we have ever had! She dealt with every single one of our vendors and ensured only the best were part of our day. She took care of all schedules, floor plans and event designs and that’s just skimming the surface of what she did.

Ashley went beyond all means to research all the perfect elements for our day, she even picked up and mailed out all of our Save The Dates and Invitations which was a lifesaver for us! She was on top of every single detail, reminded us of upcoming payments and was always incredibly cheerful to deal with even when we forgot to update her with details! Anything and everything thrown her way was handled with professionalism and a smile.

My wife and I are not great communicators but it was like it didn’t even matter because Ashley was always in our heads. She knew exactly what we wanted, understood our vision and knew what we needed before we even knew we needed it.

Our wedding day would have never been possible without the knowledge, expertise and passion we received from Velvet Bordeaux Events. She really let us sit back, relax and just enjoy the ride.

There will never be enough thank you’s in the world for what Ashley did for us and we know we could have never done it without her. Trust us, your wedding needs Velvet Bordeaux Events if you want your wildest visions to come to life!

Ashley is an absolute gem and I’m so glad I chose her as my wedding month-of coordinator!! I planned my other bridal events on my own so I can say from experience that having a coordinator like Ashley is SOOO worth it! With Ashley, I was able to relax and be present at my wedding knowing she was taking care of everything :) She was always super responsive to my emails and so organized and patient in response to my chaotic wedding brain energy. Ashley skillfully navigated some minor incidents that happened during the night and made sure my now husband and I, as well as our guests, were having a great time. She also has an eye for style and set up all our decorations exactly how I imagined it, bringing my wedding vision to life. I cannot say enough good things about Ashley, she went above and beyond all our expectations and our wedding was absolutely perfect ❤️

Ashley was an amazing coordinator to work with. She brings lots of expertise and she’s very sweet, responsive and professional. She answered every question I had with grace and on our wedding day, she was a godsend for making things run as smoothly as possible. I felt very unstressed because she took care of everything, most times before I even had to ask. As a fellow type A and someone who appreciates organization, working with her was great. Hire her!!!

Ashley,

Thank you does not seem like enough. My husband Craig and I were so impressed with your organization, and dedication to making sure everything ran smoothly. You certainly helped to make sure we did not have to worry about a single thing. Both Craig and I had no nerves. I think a huge part of this was because we knew you had everything under control! We always knew we were in the best hands. We are so grateful that you were there to ensure the day was perfect. We could not have asked for more! You went above and beyond for us, and were always so quick to respond to any emails or texts, and were so accommodating. It helped to alleviate so much of our worries knowing you were in communication with all of our vendors, finalizing every last detail. Craig and I are so happy that you were there to share in our special day. We could not have done it without you! You are incredible at what you do, and we will certainly miss working with you. Thank you for helping Craig and I begin our journey as husband as wife. xoxo

i had the pleasure of working with Sam since Oct 2022. And my wedding was not till May 2024. Sam walked me through the process and helped me understand how the day to day planning should look like. Sam replied via text and was always available to answer my questions. Sam arrived on time the day of wedding and it was raining , i was worried. She went to the dollarstore and bought umbrellas. We also had 2 guest show up with no invite and Sam and Rachel gave up their meals to help solve the problem. Not only that, but i did all my own DIY and Sam and Rachel decorated my venue exactly how i wanted and my day so smooth and amazing!! I am very happy with the support and the services i received. Thank you Velvet Bordeaux Events!!!

If you’re trying to decide on hiring a wedding planner, DO IT and hire Ashley!!!! And this is coming from a girl who is very DIY and wanted to do everything herself. I got overwhelmed FAST. There are so many decisions and details to consider, but having someone like Ashley on your team is hugely helpful. We hired her on the partial planning package in late 2022 and worked with her until our April 6th 2024 wedding.

One of the most valuable things Ashley brings is experience; she has worked hundreds of weddings and knows how to handle every aspect, individually as well as making sure they all work together on the big day. I was so relaxed on my wedding day because I knew that if anything went wrong, she would handle it and I wouldn’t even find out until a week later. Her exceptional organizational skills means she can see the forest and the trees and that no detail is forgotten.

I also found Ashley to be an excellent sounding board. She answered so many of my sometimes-dumb questions over the many phone calls we had, and always offered solid advice. This was especially helpful, as many brides are like me & are getting married without having planned a wedding before. Ashley helped us set our budget and prepped us for what would and wouldn’t be possible within it. I always felt like she took my vision into consideration and always provided excellent suggestions for every aspect of the day.

Another huge benefit of hiring Ashley was how well-connected she is. For example, there are thousands of photographers in Ontario and combing through every website or instagram profile would take an eternity. As an established, certified planner, she has worked with many photographers and was able to recommend someone who was a perfect fit which saved us so much time and effort. She was even able to find great vendors for our “nice to haves” (like a photo booth) that stayed within our budget and delivered great services. I genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been anywhere as nice as it was without her insights, connections, and recommendations.

Like I said, many brides have been in weddings and attended them before but have never planned one start to finish. You wouldn’t try to re-wire a house without at least consulting an electrician, so why do that for the happiest day of your life? Ashley is a professional in every sense of the word, a very talented planner, and an all around wonderful person 🩷🌸

My fiancé and I found Ashley from Velvet Bordeaux on WeddingWire. When it came to inquiring about her services, she responded promptly. Her quotes and description of her services on her website and emails were very thorough and straight to the point.

During our very first call with Ashley, she brought the enthusiasm. While going over the logistics of the day, she definitely got us excited about planning the wedding with her. We told her that we are Filipino and will be doing Filipino traditions during the ceremony. We were so happy to hear that she has done numerous Filipino wedding ceremonies, and is very familiar with these traditions. Her experience with these types of ceremonies really gave my fiancé and I a sense of relief.

When it came to the day of the wedding, Ashley and her team was able to execute all the events in a timely manner, and were meticulous with the fine details (i.e. seating chart, menu cards, table arrangements, handling of personal items, setting up late night food stations, etc). We had our wedding reception at the Guild Inn Estate, and it really helped that Velvet Bordeaux is one of their preferred vendors. The relationship she had with the venue really established the trust my fiancé and I had for both of them.

Throughout the rehearsal, ceremony and reception, a lot of our bridal party, family and friends kept coming up to my fiancé and I telling us how great of a wedding planner/coordinator she was. Because of the compliments regarding Ashley and her team, we knew we were in great hands.

To Ashley, we want to thank you again for everything you did to make our wedding day a success. Your bubbly personality was a perfect match for us! You and your team are so easy to work with! We are still at awe at how smoothly everything went! The wedding was a week ago, and we still can't get over how much fun everyone had!

Cheers to Ashley and Velvet Bordeaux for all their hard work!!

My husband and I had the most amazing experience with my wedding planner! They effortlessly turned my vision into reality, managing every detail with precision. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. Our special day was stress-free and absolutely perfect, thanks to their dedication and expertise. Thank you so much Ashley! Highly recommended!

Ashley and her team at Velvet Bordeaux Events are incredible! From the moment we hired her she went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly what we hoped for. She is organized, kind, encouraging, gives excellent advice, and has so much experience. Our timeline, ceremony and reception were seamless because of her attention to detail and her ability to work with all of our vendors! We had so much fun on our calls with Ashley, and she made us feel comfortable and confident leading up to and during our wedding day. Choosing Ashley to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we could have made and, we are so grateful to have been able to experience her talent and professionalism!

Honestly it was the BEST DAY EVER! The last month leading up the day went so smooth because of Ashley & her team. From planning to coordinating everyone & the vendors. You took so much stress off our hands and that I could never repay you for. I underestimated how vital it can be to have a day of coordinator and I’m so glad I made the decision to hire you & your team!

Jessica and Myles were FANTASTIC! All that planning that Ashley did for us Jessica and Myles executed to a T. They were super attentive to both my husband and I. Always asking if we needed anything from them. They dealt with the small hiccups. We didn’t have to worry about a thing!

I can’t say enough good things about Ashley & her team! And we will forever be grateful for you all.
