Hi, I’m Ashley!
I’m the founder, planner, and floral designer behind Cordial Events.
With nearly a decade of professional event planning experience and six years in weddings, I’ve learned that the best celebrations aren’t just beautifully designed. They’re thoughtfully planned, deeply personal, and allow the people at the center of them to actually be present.
Cordial Events brings that same approach to every wedding we’re trusted to be part of.

The Cordial Story
For nearly a decade, I built my career in corporate events, learning how to manage the details that most guests will never see: complex timelines, vendors, changing plans, large guest experiences, and all the moving pieces required to make an event feel effortless.
Along the way, weddings became something I couldn't stop coming back to.
After six years of planning weddings alongside my corporate career, I made the decision to step away and give Cordial Events the attention I knew it deserved.
I wanted to create something more personal. A company where my experience could meet my creativity, where relationships mattered just as much as logistics, and where I could help couples create celebrations that genuinely feel like them.
And Then, I Became the Bride.
After years of helping other couples plan their weddings, planning my own gave me an entirely different perspective.
I understood the timelines and the vendors. What surprised me was how quickly the day moves, how many opinions come with planning a wedding, and how much you want to be present when the moment finally arrives.
Being on both sides of the experience changed the way I approach weddings.
I don't just think about whether the timeline works. I think about whether you've had a moment to take everything in. Whether your family knows where they need to be. Whether you actually ate dinner. Whether someone else is handling the questions so they never have to reach you.
Because a well planned wedding isn't just one that runs beautifully. It's one you actually get to experience.
