My Story
I'm Ashley and I am the owner and lead planner of Ready Set Wedding. My journey to becoming a wedding planner began in 2015 when a friend asked me to help out with her wedding day. Seeing how relaxed and happy the couple was throughout the day brought me so much joy that I knew I wanted to give that experience to others.
​
In 2017, while planning my own wedding, I decided to obtain my certification from the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC). I became certified as a WPIC certified destination wedding coordinator shortly after. Please see the WPIC code of ethics below.

My Family
I married my highschool sweetheart in 2018 in sunny Playa del Carmen. Thanks to my detailed timeline and our amazing day-of wedding coordinator, everything went smoothly and was on time. I later found out that moments before the grand entrance, ants had to be cleared from our head table. Without our coordinator's help, there is no way that I could have fully enjoyed my day!
My husband and I welcomed our first child Scarlett in 2019 and our son Emmett joined our family in 2022. As you can imagine, they keep us on our toes but being a stay-at-home mama is something that I know that I'll never regret.

Partnership
In 2019, I partnered with Rivers Edge Resort as their coordinator for their Diamond Package! The first time I stepped into the Pavilion, I was in LOVE! I mean, look at those gorgeous chandeliers! The owners, Joy and Scott, are not only wonderful to work with but are so accommodating and will stop at nothing to ensure that your wedding day is absolutely perfect.
If you haven't heard of this venue yet, it's located 45 minutes east of Winnipeg, in Elma, MB. One of the best parts about booking your wedding here is that you stay the entire weekend! For more information, please check out their website: www.riversedgeresort.ca
