About this vendor
Poppati Events is a luxury destination wedding planner and design company specializing in highly personalized weddings across the U.S. and internationally. We create beautifully curated celebrations that feel meaningful, seamless, and entirely tailored to each couple we serve.
Many of our clients come to us before they even know where they want to get married. They know how they want their wedding to feel, but they need an expert to help them discover the destination, venue, and overall setting that is the right fit for their vision, guest experience, style, and priorities. That is one of the things that sets our approach apart. We conduct thoughtful, in-depth research and guide our couples through the destination wedding planning process to identify the best possible location and venue match, whether that means a private estate in the United States, a coastal property in Mexico, a historic venue in Italy, a countryside setting in France, or another extraordinary destination around the world.
No matter where you are located or where you want to get married, we can help you plan it. Our clients come to us from all over, and we are able to seamlessly guide the planning process near or far, matching each couple with a destination and venue that fits them to a T. We believe your wedding location should feel just as intentional and personal as every other part of the celebration, and we are passionate about helping you find the place that feels exactly right.
As a full-service destination wedding planner, we manage every layer of the planning experience with a white-glove level of care, from destination research and venue selection to design direction, logistics, vendor curation, guest experience, and flawless execution. Our role is to simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming process and replace it with clear guidance, thoughtful communication, and a planning experience that feels exciting, elevated, and fully supported.
At Poppati, no wedding is ever one-size-fits-all. Every celebration is designed around the couple at the center of it, their story, their style, and the kind of experience they want to create for their guests. Whether we are planning a destination wedding in Italy, France, Mexico, the Caribbean, or a beautiful setting within the United States, our goal is always the same: to create a wedding that feels refined, intentional, immersive, and unforgettable.
Known for our warm approach, elevated aesthetic, and meticulous attention to detail, we create weddings that are timeless in design and exceptional in experience. For couples looking for a luxury destination wedding planner who can help them discover the perfect destination, secure the ideal venue, and bring the entire celebration to life with expertise and care, Poppati Events offers a planning experience that is both deeply personal and beautifully comprehensive.

Ashley is the Wedding Fairy Godmother! I worked with Ashley for two years on my wedding and it resulted in the most perfect & special day. I was referred to Ashley by a friend and ...
what drew me to her was her Instagram page showcasing all of her work. Her page was different than any other planner I was considering because each event and wedding was so different from the next. Ashley specializes in curating the most unique and personal details. Ashley also specializes in not taking “no” as an answer! She communicates with all vendors for you and fights for you to make your vision possible. She’s a true boss.
Ashley dreams up ideas I never thought would be possible. For example, I wanted something unique for my seating chart and I also wanted guests being served champagne through a wall at the entrance. These were two separate ideas I had that I never thought would be combined, but Ashley did! Our seating chart a gorgeous champagne velvet wall where guests were served champagne through that had their name & table number etched into an acrylic piece on the glass. So unique and something I had never seen before! Ashley has a talent of seeing through my mind to know exactly what I envisioned for my wedding.
Not only did Ashley take on all vendor communication during our two year process, but she was truly Superwoman the day of our wedding. She started her day at the crack of dawn to ensure all vendors were there and that the process was being executed to perfection. She checked in on me several times while I was getting ready, taking photos and during the event. She made me feel at complete ease. I was able to enjoy the whole morning with my friends and family and didn’t have to think for a second about any wedding day detail. She makes sure I don’t have to worry about a single thing.
I also have to shoutout Ashley’s assistant, Kirsten. We also worked with Kirsten throughout the whole process and she helped so much with vendor communication. She is so poise and professional at all times. Kirsten was also a rockstar the day of wedding, ensuring we were able to experience all aspects of our event and took care of all of our belongings. They are a perfect duo!
I can’t recommend Ashley enough to assist with your most special day. My jaw dropped seeing our ceremony and reception space. We were blown away and it was better than I could ever dream up. She is a very special and hard working individual. I only wish I had more events coming up so I can continue working with her!
Working with Ashley over the past 18 months has been the best decision we made for our wedding. From our very first call, she really blew us away with her organization, warmth, and...
extraordinary attention to detail. Every detail throughout our special day was perfectly captured and we could tell from the moment we met her, she truly cared that our wedding day went absolutely perfect.
Her work ethic is truly unmatched. Ashley was always one step ahead—confirming deadlines with us and vendors and ensuring we stayed on top of our month to month checklist. She consistently went above and beyond and we always felt like a priority.
A huge weight off our shoulders was how seamlessly she handled vendor communication. Ashley managed every conversation with professionalism and clarity. All without needing to get us involved unless a true decision was required. She presented us with clear options, amazing recommendations, and thorough updates, making it easy for us to make a decision.
Her drive for perfection was even clearer on the wedding day. The ceremony setup was exactly as we envisioned and then some and we were blown away by our reception and timeline of dinner + dancing.
As the groom and not needing a ton of attention on wedding day, Ashley continued to check in on me and my groomsmen throughout the morning ensuring the nerves were calmed and we had everything we needed. It’s the little things that truly make her stand out. Because of Ashley, we actually got to be present and enjoy our day instead of worrying about logistics.
On a personal level, Ashley was a true partner—kind, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. She checked in with us consistently, celebrated milestones with us, and kept us grounded when planning felt overwhelming. We always felt heard, supported, and in the best possible hands.
If you’re looking for a planner who combines crazy attention to detail with exceptional communication, relentless work ethic, and a genuine commitment to perfection, Ashley is the one. She turned our vision into something even better than we imagined, and we are endlessly grateful. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! Thank you to Ashley and Kirsten!
Every mother dreams of seeing her daughter’s vision come to life on her wedding day, and Ashley and her incredible team at Poppati made that dream a reality. They created a celebra...
tion that was beyond our wildest imagination—magical, breathtaking, and unforgettable. Not a single detail was missed.
Ashley’s creativity is unmatched—there is nothing “cookie-cutter” about her approach. From ensuring every fabric matched perfectly with samples, to offering honest, thoughtful guidance and creative options, she went above and beyond. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, always advocating for the best outcome, while managing and negotiating with vendors seamlessly.
She listened intently to truly understand what Amari and Sam envisioned, and then elevated that vision into something spectacular. The end result was an event so beautiful it brought me to tears and created memories we will cherish forever.
Ashley and her team even extended their support beyond the wedding itself—helping with the bachelorette weekend by coordinating private chefs, massages, facials, and even a yacht day. Her dedication, organization, and execution made the entire experience extraordinary.
We are forever grateful to Ashley and the Poppati team for planning and executing a magnificent event. They gave us not just a wedding, but an unforgettable journey and a lifetime of memories.
I don't even know where to begin. Ashley is an absolutely incredible panner to work with, and I could not recommend her more. Not only did she fulfill our dreams for our wedding, s...
he went above and beyond.
To say we had to work with a difficult venue is an understatement, but through all of that Ashley handled everything with grace and without breaking a sweat. She advocated for us at every turn, stayed on top of every detail, and truly made the impossible happen.
She got to know Will and I as a couple, saw our love and hopes for our wedding, and absolutely knocked it out of the park. We love Ashley and her team, and want everyone to know they are in great hands working with her. When our weekly pre-wedding meetings got removed from our calendar, because the wedding and planning were over, I may have shed a tear. We love you Ashley!
<3 Wilma
I don't even know how to put into words how extraordinary Ashley is. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she leads with her heart and puts her whole soul into what ...
she does. We were planning a destination wedding in Lake Como on a very short timeline, and what could have been an overwhelming experience turned into the most magical, stress-free journey—all because of her.
Ashley and her team started with an in-depth destination analysis, helping us understand every option available across Italy before we settled on Lake Como. Her knowledge, insight, and guidance were invaluable. She helped us envision how each setting could reflect our personalities and story, and she made the entire decision-making process feel exciting rather than daunting.
Once we chose Lake Como, she transformed our vision into something even more beautiful than we imagined. The design she curated was breathtaking—timeless, elegant, and deeply romantic. From the soft, sweeping florals to the candlelit tablescapes, every detail was intentional and emotionally resonant. It felt like a dream, and it looked like a fairy tale. She captured not only the aesthetic we wanted, but the feeling—and that’s something no Pinterest board can give you.
Her attention to detail was beyond anything we’ve seen. She anticipated every need, every potential challenge, and handled it all with grace. Even with the distance and time constraints, she managed vendor communication like a true professional. We never once had to worry about coordination, language barriers, or logistics. She was the calm in the chaos, and she gave us the greatest gift of all: peace of mind.
Thanks to Ashley, we were able to be fully present on the most important day of our lives. We weren’t just checking boxes or sticking to a schedule—we were truly living the experience. She brought our wedding to life with such warmth, elegance, and love. It was everything we dreamed of and more.
If you’re looking for a planner who will treat your wedding like her own, who sees and celebrates your love story, and who will make magic happen no matter the obstacles—Ashley is that person. She is rare, she is brilliant, and we will forever be grateful to her for creating something so personal, so beautiful, and so unforgettable.
Without hesitation, I would recommend Ashley + her team at Poppati! From the very beginning Ashley demonstrated her passion for planning our wedding. Initially, she met with us and...
walked us through vision boards of each location and venue to help us choose the perfect location for us. This process was tremendously helpful as we were able to picture not only the wedding venue, but also potential venues for the wedding events and the hotels our family and friends would be staying at, in locations we had never been. Ashley’s professionalism and knowledge were on display as designed our wedding website, save the dates, invitations, day of stationary, and working with vendors local and abroad to present us with the best vendors that Lake Como had to offer. Ashley was on top of every detail and our wedding felt so unbelievably “us”. Thanks to Ashley + her team, our wedding planning experience was stress free and our wedding weekend was magical. Ashley is so sweet, fun and easy to work with. Hiring Poppati was the best decision we made!
I don't even know where to begin! From the very beginning Ashley created a sense of calm within the wedding planning process, which is the exact opposite of how most people ever ex...
pect to feel. As a person who always wants to know what's going on and be a part of the planning I knew that it would be a challenge to trust someone else, but Ashley somehow defied this. I was able to put my full trust into her and in doing so she created the most magical, beautiful and happy day my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. I found myself trying to find things to stress about because she was so on top of it I had nothing to actually worry about, it was the most incredible year of wedding planning only because of Ashley and her team. Ashley has a strong and talented group of women who work along side her and have shown me and my husband nothing but love and and commitment to also helping make our day perfect. I am in awe of Ashley, her team, the work she does and the experience she creates not only for us but our guests as well. Ashley is strong, kind, resourceful, creative, resilient, loyal and an all around incredible human. October 7th 2023 was truly the best day of our lives and I will never forget the pure joy, love and happiness that was felt by us and so many that day. The compliments were endlessly coming from our guests about the details, personal touches, florals, and truly everything, it was pure magic. I am forever grateful for Ashley and the Poppati team!
The attention to detail that Ashley and her team put into our wedding day months and months and months before the actual day is nothing short of remarkable. What we admired most is...
that she certainly does not just tell you what you want to hear - she gives you the truth. But she doesn't just say no and move on - she is always bringing alternatives to ideas that can bring you as close to your absolute dream as possible. And that is because Ashley has already thought of every possible outcome of every possible scenario before she's even brought it to you. She helped us pick the perfect venue. She negotiated on our behalf countless times. She told us to do our ceremony outside even when the weather was suspect and we were a little nervous. And she was there for every single guest throughout the night if they needed her. Even weeks after the wedding, we had guests texting us and saying how incredible Ashley was throughout the day and how impressed they were with her call to do the ceremony outside - we are forever in debt to her for that. Ashley did what all planners should aspire to do - bring the vision to life and make the wedding appear as flawless as can be to the bride and the groom. Without Ashley's persistence, work-ethic and patience - I don't even want to think about how stressful the entire process could have been. We already miss her and would recommend her to any and all.
I was referred to Ashley by a friend - who I had consulted about her wedding planning experience. The first thing my friend said to me was "On your wedding day, you will not worry ...
about one thing." This cannot have been a more true review. Ashley's planning process is meticulous, leaving no stoned left un-turned to help curate your day down to the detail. She takes your dream and makes it even grander, as I could never have imagined the beauty that was our day down to every detail. On our actual wedding day there were a lot of things that could have cause stress (intermittent rain, dance floor being smaller than anticipated, some guest illnesses, wardrobe malfunctions) and she handled it ALL with such grace that most of these things i didn't know about until after the wedding. She is also a gem of a human and we had some good laughs through the stress of the process and I will truly miss chatting every day! I would recommend Ashley to anyone whose budget allows. And can't wait to attend another friends wedding she's planning!
When my now husband and I got engaged, I had an overall aesthetic of how I wanted our lakeside wedding to look and feel, but being new to Minnesota and the large undertaking of a o...
utdoor wedding, had absolutely no idea where to start. Insert Ashley at Poppati Events!
From our very first meeting, including the cutest set up of champagne, charcuterie, and a slideshow filled with my Pinterest dream wedding, I knew we were in good hands.
Ashley took each idea we had to make our wedding unique and special for our guests, and turned it into a reality that far surpassed anything we could have ever imagined.
Ashley’s attention to detail, relationship with top caliber vendors, and sweet personality allowed us to truly enjoy every second of our wedding day with not one ounce of stress or worry.
If you want a wedding with special, intimate details that you and all of your guest will look back on and remember, I cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we were able to be completely present and enjoy the day all because of Ashley. She thought of every last detail, managed all of our vendors ...
seamlessly and made sure everything went exactly as planned, and was so on top of everything. There were never any fire drills because she managed everything so well (or if there were, we never knew about it because she handled everything with ease). I can’t imagine trying to plan our wedding on our own. So beyond thankful for Ashley for allowing us to enjoy being engaged and not have to stress anything, and also for making the planning process so fun!
Not only was she extremely organized, but she is so creative and made the day so beautiful. She gave such great advice / ideas / vendor recommendations, and I’m so glad we listened to her advice because she made our wedding SO much more unique and personal than it would have been if we hadn’t.
I also appreciated how Ashley is firm and persuasive and can easily negotiate with, manage, and advocate for us with vendors. She always had our best interests at heart and did everything she could to get the best for us from our vendors.
Overall so thankful for Ashley and for everything she did for us!!
WOW! 5 stars does not even do it justice!!! Ashley planned my sister’s wedding back in 2019 and it was MAGICAL to say the least. I hoped one day she would be my wedding planner and...
I’m so glad that dream came true. I had a wedding vision and Ashley went above and beyond to make it come to life. Elegant, chic, modern yet timeless… It could not have been more perfect.
Ashley’s professionalism, industry knowledge and sweet personality was showcased in every decision we made. Our wedding venue was under construction for over 90% of the planning process so we really had to be patient and trust her timing. What sets Ashley apart from other planners is her unmatched creativity and uniqueness. Our wedding was like nothing I had ever seen before. From personalized dinner menus to the prettiest seating chart and working with our bartenders to perfect our signature drinks… the list goes on and on. She wanted every part of our day to be a reflection of us and we are forever grateful!!! We are so lucky to have gained her as a friend as well. Xoxo, K|B
Ashley has done it again!
We were fortunate enough to have had Ashley help us with the planning of our oldest daughter’s wedding in 2019. So of course when the middle daughter got ...
engaged one of the first questions was, Can we use Ashley to plan?” I shouted “Absolutely!!!”
Thankfully Ashley had room in her bustling calendar to fit in a retuning client. In just 10 months, without even seeing the venue until one month prior, she was able to pull off the most spectacular day!
Ashley’s ideas run wild with things we’ve never seen. So unique yet exactly what our daughter envisioned for their chic modern wedding. She listens and helps guide when we aren’t even sure what we like more. Her attention to detail is unmatched! From fun cocktails with the couples initials to names on each guests menu were all special touches. We are still getting compliments on the W. O. W. factor of it all.
Ashley takes ownership of the event. Pivots as needed, is budget conscious and grounded in reality of what can be achieved and when.
She isn’t just our wedding planner she is now part of our family! We can’t imagine doing this without her!
We would recommend Ashley with Poppati Events to any and everyone! She is the best wedding planner that we could have asked for - she created the most beautiful and best wedding fo...
r US. She truly listened, had our best interest at the top of her mind, and executed perfectly. She made sure everything was taken care of down to every last detail, and our wedding planning and wedding day was a breeze because of her work.
We had our wedding on a beach in Mexico - she started off with an extensive venue search and we felt like we landed on the best option. She made planning an international wedding feel stress-free.
On top of her business - she is just a wonderful person ! So genuine and truly shines in any room.
Ashley was nothing short of AMAZING to work with. Due to COVID, we delayed our wedding a few times, and Ashley was so flexible, helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging throughout th...
e process. We ended up completely changing our original plans and doing a small destination wedding in Vail, CO. Ashley created the most beautiful and memorable weekend for us. She truly is so talented and creative and everyone attending the wedding was simply blow away by the details and heart poured into the day. You will NOT be disappointed working with Ashley and her team - they are one of a kind! Thank you so much for creating us the most magical wedding weekend!
Ashley and the entire Poppati Events team were the most amazing people we have ever worked with! We had originally hired Ashley for month of wedding planning, but after talking wit...
h her we realized we would not be able to have the dream wedding we wanted because of COVID restrictions at our original venue. So, 3 MONTHS prior to our wedding we had to change venues including the state we were getting married in, and decided to hire Ashley and Poppati for full service planning. My husband and I at the time, were living in Rhode Island, ,getting married in Iowa, moving across the country 2 weeks before our wedding, starting new jobs, in two new cities, and trying to plan a wedding all at the same time :)
Ashley and her team took on the challenge, and alleviated so much of the stress we already had. Not only did Ashley find us the most perfect venue, but she was able to work closely with all of the vendors and make decisions quickly so we didn't have to make them. She communicated with all the vendors for us, but she would keep us in the loop on important decisions and would not move forward without our approval. We gave her a budget, and she worked within it throughout the whole process, and presented us with such fun ideas of what our wedding could be.
The best part of the entire experience was her creativity to make our wedding so unique to us. She incorporated a "Party Animal" seating chart because my husband and I are both veterinarians, we had welcome drinks with popsicles since we had an outdoor wedding in July, we had the most beautiful flower arrangements and hanging floral piece, and even had an ice bar at cocktail hour that incorporated our time of living out in Rhode Island.
Lastly, she was constantly there to offer support when things got stressful, and the anxiety of everything started to build up. We felt like we were working with a close friend, and she even treated us to a surprise gift for our wedding day as well. She would constantly reassure us that everything was going to work out, and she was right. I had been to a few other weddings Ashley had planned, and I never had a doubt in my mind that she would make our dream wedding come to life. Her entire staff, her husband, and her adorable dog Finley were the most incredible people to work with and I can't recommend Poppati enough. They truly made our dream wedding a reality, and we had so many comments about what a unique and beautiful wedding it was!
I cant praise Poppati events enough. Honestly they are a five start team. Being a 2020 Bride was one of the most challenging experiences. We had to change our date 2x and with all...
of the rules and restrictions Ashley and her team had to basically start from scratch several times. My wedding wouldn't have happened with out all of her help and expertise. She stayed up to date on all the rules and kept us informed and still pulled off the wedding of my dreams. My caterer dropped a month out from our wedding and Ashley was able to secure a new one at an even better rate for us with no issue. The day of our wedding it was so windy and there were challenges with the set up but I never knew because her team handled it and my day was amazing. If you are looking for a wedding or party planner Poppati is the best. Highly recommend!
Our goal was to bring very small group of family together during a pandemic and make it just as special as our 150 person destination wedding - and to do so in one month's time.
...
There is no way this would have been possible without Ashley. She brought everything to life in such a meaningful, thoughtful way – and made the process fun and enjoyable for us & our family hosting.
She is wildly talented AND she has an enormous heart, which was evident at every step of the way. She is professional, has impeccable vision/ design ideas and her attention to detail & organization are unmatched in the industry. We are so grateful we had the chance to work with her !
I could go on all day about how amazing Poppati Events is! Ashley is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and is hands down my favorite planner I have ever worked with! She’s...
the perfect combination of professionalism mixed with someone who you would want to be your best friend! We’ve worked together for multiple weddings/events and something that I’ve always noticed and admired about her is her attention to detail. She puts her heart and soul into the events she plans for her clients and is able to create designs that represent each couples unique style and relationship perfectly. She is so thoughtful to everyone around her and always makes sure that everything is running smoothly and that everyone is taken care of. If you are thinking about hiring Ashley for your event, I can promise you that your expectations will be exceeded and it will be the best decision you ever make! I met her through the wedding industry but now consider her a lifelong friend!
We can't recommend Ashley at Poppati Events enough! Initially, we thought we could get away with working exclusively with the wedding coordinator at the venue, but after a few meet...
ings, it became clear that that was a bad idea. The universe introduced us to Ashley, and she took over ever single detail seamlessly. The further we got into the process, and especially in those last few weeks, the more grateful I was for her expertise. We had a general outline of what we wanted, and Ashley took that and turned it into the absolute wedding of our dreams. Our guests still talk about how beautiful it was and so perfectly executed - and it is really ALL to Ashley's credit. To top it all off she is a kind and caring soul - checking in to make sure WE were doing okay throughout the entire process. 5 star person, 5 star planner! Thank you, Ashley!!
After following Poppati Events on social media I knew I wanted to hire Ashley right away when we got engaged. We hired Ashley for the full package and it was money well spent! Ashl...
ey helped us have the mountain top wedding of our dreams Ashley is the type of wedding planner that will put her whole heart into the wedding planning. She got to know our personalities and she knew what was very important to us and went above and beyond in those areas. Ashley wants to take the stress away from couples as much as possible and if and when wedding vendors can get tough to work with, she will do everything she has to negotiate what is right for her couples. Ashley was available 24/7 to talk through decisions, ideas, anything and everything you could think of. What I loved about our wedding the most was how personalized it was to us as a couple. All of the wedding guests commented on the personal touches and Ashley helped make that happen. She will ensure that your wedding is unique to you as a couple and she will use her expert experience to suggest the best solutions to you as a couple. I am so glad that I hired Ashley as our wedding planner as it was so helpful to have a neutral party give you expert advice while also letting you as a couple feel empowered to make your wedding exactly how you envision it. Ashley will make sure you do not have to do a thing on your wedding day and we completely got to enjoy the day. Her husband is also an angel and they make an incredible duo when they work together on the wedding day.
We are so grateful for all of the hard work Ashley put into our wedding. THANK YOU!!
Working with Poppati Events to plan our dream honeymoon was a flawless experience from start to finish. A few months after my husband and I got married, we were stressed out becaus...
e we wanted to plan an international honeymoon trip but had no idea where to start and no time to plan it. When we met with Ashley and her husband, Adam, for the first time, they were genuinely as excited to celebrate our recent wedding and to plan our dream honeymoon as we were to experience it. They completely customized our trip based on our feedback, style and preferences. After our initial meeting, they provided a tailored, detailed itinerary for our trip to Italy and Croatia with everything included from air travel, connections, transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurant recommendations, packing lists and unforgettable excursions (shout out to our wine and oyster tour mmmm). Ashley & Adam proactively stayed in touch with us as the trip grew closer. When the trip arrived, we felt like Jay and Bey just showing up to the airport with everything already planned and taken care of Their attention to detail was apparent throughout the trip which ultimately allowed my husband and me to enjoy each other without worrying about any details. As we sit here writing this review (complete with Croatian wine from our honeymoon, to boot!), we’d like to send out a heartfelt cheers to you, Poppati Events…thank you for crafting such a meaningful experience for us that we will never forget xo
At the Hewing Hotel, we had the pleasure of one of our wedding couples selecting Ashley to be their wedding coordinator. Ashley was extremely professional, organized, and helpful ...
in ensuring all of the details for the wedding ceremony and reception were everything the couple had hoped for. She was amazingly responsive and detail oriented when we needed help in how to best execute the event to her/our client's expectations. The day was perfect and Ashley was a dream to work with.
I'm a local Minneapolis Photographer and I felt compelled to write a review about Ashley. She is hands down the best planner I've ever had the pleasure of working with! As a photog...
rapher, I see a lot of what goes on behind the scenes on a wedding day. Having a planner that's entirely dedicated to the couple and making their day flawless seems like a given, but I often see planners that tend to get away with the bare minimum and that I hardly see throughout the course of the day. Ashley is ANYTHING but that. The way I see her show up for her clients is truly unique. She constantly has her hands wet and is involved in every facet and decision. I've seen fires arise and she handles them with grace and conviction. She's also has a level of creativity that is unprecedented. If she's involved in full-service planning, expect to see MAGIC! Something that you won't just find on Pinterest or an inspiration board already curated by a planner. She's quite simply amazing! You'd be foolish not to trust her with your planning needs :)
Ashley is amazing! She was so helpful and great to work with. She helped me stay organized and think through all of the details. During the reception, she helped make sure everythi...
ng looked beautifully and went so smoothly. We could not have done it without her!
Ashley is so great to work with and we will definitely work with her again!
Ashley has an amazing talent for creating the wedding of your dreams. Everything she did was wonderful down to the very last little detail. I would hire her 100x over again!!! Tha...
nk you Ashley💓
There aren’t enough positive words I can use to describe Ashley. From the moment I began speaking with her I knew I needed to have her as my month of wedding planner. She was carin...
g, attentive, kind, and maybe most importantly when planning a wedding she was honest and transparent.
During the week of our wedding we were filled with nerves and excitement but when we walked into the rehearsal and saw Ashley’s smiling face greeting us our nerves instantly began to fade away. She truly made us feel at ease during one of the biggest moments of our lives.
On the day of our wedding Ashley flawlessly managed to execute on every detail and ensured we were on schedule and where we needed to be when we needed to be there while simultaneously pumping us up and cheering us on along the way. We truly could not have done it without her! One example to highlight this is that during all of the wedding busyness I (the bride) completely forgot our table numbers at the hotel (a good 25 minutes away). Ashley was informed of this just prior to the ceremony start time and by the time the reception started there were beautiful table numbers placed neatly on every table without either of us being aware!
We are both so thankful for Ashley because she allowed us, our families, and guests to truly enjoy the celebration. Having our parents be able to be truly present with us on our wedding day versus having to worry about day of details was extremely
important to us and Ashley ensured that happened! Our only regret is that we didn’t book Ashley for the entire planing period because she made it that calming and enjoyable! As I write this I am currently dreaming up parties I can host so that I can work with Ashley again...post-wedding party? Our cat’s 5th birthday party?
Thank you for all you do, Ashley!
With love, The Book’s.
Tommy and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley at Poppati Events while planning our wedding! She managed to bring our vision to life and made our speci...
al day an unforgettable memory we will cherish forever!
Ashley was incredible throughout the entire planning process. She listened to us, took our vision and gave us the most beautiful wedding we could have ever imagined! She respected our input and added her gifted designer eyes to our ideas. Whenever we had a question or needed guidance, she always responded quickly and assured us she had everything under control. We received incredible feedback from family and friends on how beautiful and perfect every detail was. Ashley made us feel like family from the start and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire process! She has a way of providing those “special touches” every bride dreams of and went above and beyond at every opportunity. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner, she knows what she’s doing!
Ashley is not only a top-notch wedding planner but an absolute joy to be around. Throughout this process, Ashley, and her husband Adam have become very close friends. Everything was wonderful, from beginning to end. We cannot thank Ashley and Adam enough for making our day truly amazing!!
Ashley from Poppati is an incredible wedding planner. It was clear from day one that she knew exactly what she was doing. She was very professional, dependable and helpful. She pro...
vided us with all the best vendors and made our wedding a dream come true. The services she offered were definingly worth the money. When our wedding day final came, everyone around us kept commenting on how calm we were. That’s because we had full trust in Ashley to execute all the details to perfection. We received many wonderful comments from friends and family on how incredibly beautiful everything was. Our wedding was fantastic and the best day of our lives! We highly recommend Ashley to anyone that wants to have a fabulous event.
I have recommended Ashley at Poppati Events to several friends, including my best friend who ended up using her for her own wedding. I think the best and most authentic review is i...
n the recommendation emails that I write about her! Here is one example of the many of have written:
"OK, so Ashley is who we used for our wedding- she is fantastic. She is a queen when it comes to the details, is ruthless about negotiating contracts and getting you a good price (no joke) and has done this many times so you are in very good hands with her. I will say that her negotiating our contracts paid for her fee in a matter of months… so if you are considering getting help there, this is where she really shines… and I know you can hire her for JUST that piece, which is a great option. Also, not sure if you are considering a destination, but she is totally comfortable doing that and has done it many times. You should check out her Instagram to get an idea of what her “styling” can look like. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is super resourceful when it comes bringing your vision to life within your budget. Did I mention she is adorable? She is super fun to work and it is easy to see that she truly loves what she does."
I will continue to recommend Ashley to anyone who needs support in planning a wedding or event!
We absolutely could not have done this with her!
Ashley walked by my side on the day of the wedding, and honestly took care of every little detail. She allowed me to be totally stress free and able to enjoy every precious moment!...

Hiring Ashley to plan my wedding was the first and best thing I did when I started planning my wedding. She took care of everything and gave me the reassurance every step of the wa...
y... all the way down to a timeline of when meetings with her would take place and when decisions had to happen. I never had to research a thing and our wedding was beyond perfect. We decided to have a destination wedding in Old San Juan, PR and I'd do it again and again if I could! To be able to spend the week/weekend with all of your closest family and friends is so rare and special, and I actually got to enjoy it. As a planner in a completely different line of work, I always thought I would plan my whole wedding from start to finish, but to actually enjoy the process was never expected. Ashley made that happen and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I had attended several weddings where the day seemed unorganized or not thoroughly planned through with the small details. Which in turn became my greater fear about my wedding day...
. Ashley was such a dream to have on board through the planning process and executing the day of! We had several discussions of planning, and covered details I wouldn't have considered. She was amazing working with all the wedding party, parents and the vendors. I don't believe I asked a single question the day of, because Ashley had such great control and organization on coordinating with the vendors and making sure everything stuck to the schedule (the greatest gift to a bride, peace of mind). She helped make the venue absolutely STUNNING, and I honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. I had so many guests compliment over the organization and how beautiful the day was, I believe we were all blown away. Thank you again Poppati Weddings & Events for all your hard work and expertise!
With only having a short five-month engagement, hiring Ashley was the BEST (and easiest) decision I made! I hired Ashley to handle all my decor, ceremony coordination, and day-of s...
ervices. It was piece-of-mind for me (and my family) as it ensured that we could all enjoy the celebration instead of worrying about setting up and taking down decor or coordinating vendors. Thank you, Ashley, for making this special day go so smoothly! -- Brandi and Cole
I had Ashley coordinate my wedding day and she was seriously the best money I spent on my wedding! I'll admit that I was on the fence over hiring a wedding coordinator because I th...
ought that I could do it alone but now I would recommend for every bride to get someone to help them coordinate on the day of their wedding. It was so nice to just sit back and relax and not have to worry about a thing. You really don't know everything that goes into making a wedding go smoothly until you've gone through it before so I am glad I left it up to Ashley to make sure everything was perfect up to the tiniest detail! Ashley was amazing to work with; she was extremely professional and friendly and gave me peace of mind. I am so thankful for her and so happy that she helped me have the best wedding day I could have imagined!
I honestly couldn't have better things to say about working with Ashley. Ashley was truly amazing in so many ways and her experience in planning events definitely showed. We had ou...
r initial meeting to download all of our ideas, visions, vendors, etc. to Ashley, she then took all the information and started running with it. Ashley worked with our vendors directly to coordinate and plan to make sure our dream wedding would be exactly we as envisioned and take the stress of phone calls and questions off of us. Since our "venue" was not really a venue and required us to plan every little detail, Ashley did multiple site visits and made sure that our setup included everything and would be perfect for the big day, and it was! The day of the wedding Ashley's help was HUGE, we would not have been able to do it without her. The ceremony and reception were both outdoors and mother nature was not a fan that day...Ashley was running around, moving chairs, moving tables, and making sure that the ceremony & reception would still go on flawlessly without me having to worry at all. Ashley's vision on design and decor was also a huge plus, she came out 2 days before the wedding and helped make sure the tables, flowers, napkins, etc all looked stunning. I would recommend Ashley to any bride that not only wants a wedding coordinator to work with vendors, but also to provide a unique vision, perfectly catered to vision of the wedding. Best decision to work with Ashley!
