Why invest in a wedding coordinator?
Why invest in a wedding coordinator?
Wondering the difference between a wedding coordinator and planner? Though the terms are interchangeable, the wedding coordinator helps on the day of the wedding, while the planner plans everything from start to finish. Hiring a wedding coordinator is like hiring an expert to piece together a complicated puzzle of photography, catering, decor, and more. Instead of stressing, why not hire someone with the necessary training and experience to ensure your wedding day is executed to your liking? Let the coordinator worry about the details so you can enjoy your engagement and special day.
"Ashley kept our wedding planning 100% stress free. She went above and beyond to ensure that every little detail was taken care of. All we had to worry about was enjoying our wedding day, thanks to Ashley!"

"Ashley coordinated our wedding the day of and did a fantastic job! She took the time to go over details with us ahead of time and asked about details we hadn’t even thought of. She took care of all the last minute tasks like decorating for the outdoor ceremony in the morning and bringing things back into the hall before dinner. She made sure everything ran smoothly and according to schedule. She took care of any little hiccups along the way so that our day could be completely stress free! She was extremely thorough and we felt that we could trust her 110%! Some of our guests even complimented us on how organized our wedding was - and we owe it all to Ashley!"

"Ashley took on our wedding as her first wedding since starting her own business. Our wedding was not your typical wedding. We had everything customized from getting married in my parent's backyard to a tent wedding at our beach property. We had wants and needs that she made happen and took so much stress off of my shoulders as a bride. I am grateful for her help and guidance to make our happily ever after possible."

"Ashley did a great job coordinating our big day. She made everything stress free and ensured everything ran smoothly without a hitch. She went out of her way to pick up decorations from us and even buy some extra things that we were short on for the wedding day. We were happy we chose Ashley to help out on our wedding day and would absolutely recommend her to our friends and family!"

"Jeeze, where do I start. First and most importantly; your approach to our day left me feeling like I was working thru things with an honest girlfriend. Which was very important to me considering Dylan was working up North and we had a small bridal party. You were honest, available and beyond accommodating. I was a vision-less bride, and not once did I feel unsure about a final decision, or unexcited about any of the details you so easily suggested for us. Everything pulled together better than I could have EVER imagined, and that was literally all you, but somehow still felt so much like us. Just simple. Perfect and so so simple. I have not one thing to offer; your timelines were fantastic, support to the wedding party/ officiant was amazing, details impeccable. It’s a dream I honestly think about daily- and you played the most important and under-rated part! (Especially keeping me sane while my mom was sorting out her health issues DAYS before). 10/10 not a doubt in my mind would I recommend you and your business for all future weddings that come across my path- WE (Dylan, myself and our families) are so thankful to have found you!!"

"Where do I even begin? Ashley and her assistant, Amber, were absolute lifesavers on our wedding day! I can say that - without a doubt - our wedding would not have been anywhere near as good without having them there! They took care of everything on the day, and dealt with any problems that may have come up. It was such a relief to know that our wedding was in good hands, and they executed our decorations and timeline perfectly. They were able to make adjustments as needed, and to make sure that things were staying on track. Working with Ashley before the day was a dream too – she asked questions that I hadn’t even thought about and made suggestions to help make the day flow better. She checked in often to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. Hiring Ready Set Wedding was one of the best decisions I made!"

"I will start off by saying thank goodness for Ashley! Her professionalism and attention to detail made our wedding day the absolute perfect day! It ended up raining on us and had these neat clear umbrellas already on hand which made for fabulous photos. She helped us plan the perfect ‘first look’ and made that special moment even better than I could have imagined. Our table arrangements were set up beautifully, our donut wall looked awesome, and the ceremony set up was exactly how I described I wanted it, she made it all happen. The template for the wedding day timeline she recommended was very helpful, it gave us structure but also had options and flexibility to have the day planned as we wanted. I really appreciated her checklists and to-do lists for planning, it helped me get things done and included things we didn’t even think of, they for sure prevented a few panic attacks! Extra credit to Ashley and her assistant Amber for wrangling up our rambunctious wedding party during the rehearsal and on the wedding day. I can’t say enough great things about Ashley and how she went above and beyond to make our special day perfect!"

"As a classic 'Type A' personality I felt pretty organized and confident in my plan, but what I wanted for the day of was to be able to be fully present during the day and not have to worry about the execution of my plan. We reached out to Ashley a few months before the wedding looking for a day of coordinator and we couldn't be happier with our choice. In the months leading up she gave suggestions and validated our plan. The day before and after she assumed the role of being 'bossy' so I didn't have to, made sure the reception area looked beautiful, and that we stayed on schedule. Ashley and Amber went above and beyond to make sure our wedding in a non-conventional wedding came together perfectly!"

"Ashley was an amazing coordinator from start to finish. We had 2 meetings with her and both meetings went smooth. I was able to send messages whenever we needed and she was quick to respond! I would often get messages for little details that I know I would have forgotten otherwise and she made sure we stayed on track! If you are hesitant, please don’t second guess!! The morning-of, me and my girls where getting ready and she offered to bring everyone food which wasn’t expected (we had to pay for the food but otherwise we wouldn’t have had time to get the food our selves so it was a nice little bonus and time saver!!). I know it helped make the day all the better. One of the flower girls had to pee right before going down the aisle and Ashley literally made a mad dash with her to the bathroom and made it back in time for her cue to go in line! I can go on all day with all the ways Ashley helped the wedding run on time and perfectly but probably the best save she did started the night before when the DJ called to confirm for the next day. He said he wouldn’t be coming until 6 when doors opened at 3 so she helped figure out a game plan and played music by using a phone and the hall speaker system!"

"Ashley, you were absolutely fantastic with everything you did. From helping us figure out what we did and didn't want, to curbing my impulsive decision making. You made the whole planning process much easier, and much less stressful."

"Ashley was a great month-of-coordinator! She was always super organized which helped keep us on track leading up to the wedding. She had answers to every question I asked, and never minded when I contacted her at any point in time. She helped deal with every single issue that came up-extremely helpful when the transportation we booked for the wedding party wrote me the day before to say the limo bus we booked wasn’t available. She quickly called around and got us new transportation within a matter of fifteen minutes. At the rehearsal and wedding itself she kept everything running so smoothly the entire time. Her and her sister Amber set up all of our décor and it looked so beautiful, we got tons of compliments on how great everything looked! Not to mention she did this all while pregnant! Overall I 100% can recommend Ashley, she was so helpful and honestly helped us pull everything together perfectly."

"Before Ashley even had a chance to leave the Tim Horton’s we met at for the first time, we decided she was going to be our Day of Wedding Coordinator. She is detail-oriented, organized, experienced, and truly wants your wedding to be perfect. During the planning phase, Ashley was quick to answer questions, offer suggestions, and keep us on track for reaching important planning milestones. We had a brunch wedding and a 'first look' which required a very early start. Ashley was up coordinating the glam squad and our photographer, then her and Amber were on-site bright and early to make sure the last of the decor was set up, our doughnut guest favours were plated, our backdrop wall was fixed, our ceremony music was queued up, our guests knew where to go as they arrived, the list goes on. Did I mention she did all this while pregnant? This woman is amazing and had my whole-hearted trust. Thank you for helping our wedding be all sorts of magical!"

"Best decision ever! After our first meeting we knew we needed Ashley. With both of us being procrastinators it was huge to have someone knowing everything wedding to help us with what we needed to do and when to do it. Ashley was super flexible especially with Jared working out of province for weeks at a time. It truly felt like she was there for us whenever we needed - all while being pregnant, working and helping with other weddings! She always had the answers and suggestions we needed. Our big day was so perfect. It was amazing to be able to focus on each other, our friends and family knowing Ashley had everything covered with vendors and setup details. We had a few last minute changes and Ashley took care of them all on the fly keeping everything seamless!! I still get stressed just imagining not having Ashley's help that day. We would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking into wedding planners to meet with Ashley!"

"Jaren and I are grateful that Ashley was able to be a part of our wedding. Growing up with Ashley as a friend, it was obvious once she decided to become a wedding coordinator that she would have great success. Keeping things running smooth, organized and on time were always one of her many strong suits. As a couple we had so many ideas of how we wanted our wedding to look like, but we didn't exactly know how we were going to get there. And that's where Ashley came in, she helped us stay on track with a timeline, helped us choose a majority of our vendors, she helped us stay on budget and so much more. It was more than once that Ashley came to the rescue on our wedding day, whether it be sewing up a ripped hem on one of my bridesmaids dress moments before the ceremony, or handing out umbrellas during our "I Do's" when it started to rain. Jaren and I always say, that getting married was our first great choice and having Ashley coordinate was our second - we highly recommend Ready Set Wedding for your Big Day!"
