| Dear Ashley,
I don't even know how to begin to Thank You for everything you did for Jawad and me. You certainly exceeded all our expectations and truly made our wedding come together! It was absolutely the most beautiful day and everyone is raving about how wonderful everything was, ALL IN THANKS TO YOU!!! You are amazing and I can't thank you enough for everything you did. I am going to recommend you to everyone I know! Thanks again!
Love, Jawad & Brooke

With Love, Brad & Michelle

| The best things in the world aren't things. They're people like you. Thank you with all of our hearts!
Ashley, there are no words to express how wonderful the wedding was and how you worked so hard to make it that way. We are so glad that we found you! You are such a blessing to all your brides and grooms and families - so they can enjoy their special day.
Everything was so organized and you were there to take care of every little detail including a ripped red dress strap coming loose. All of our friends and family said we have set the bar very high when all their kids get married. So I am sure we will be seeing you again...
Thanks again and blessings to you and your family. Love, Nathan & Kathy, &, Steve & Jamie

I used Ashley as my wedding coordinator for my recent wedding at the Nixon Library. I couldn't have asked for a more organized coordinator to assist me make my wedding vision a reality. From helping me with bridal party gift suggestions to vendor follow up she was on point. Organization was one of the most important things I was looking for a coordinator and Ashley has that down from the first time you meet her. You know she really knows what she's doing and loves it. On the day of the wedding, I definitely was guest at my own wedding enjoying it as everyone else, I didn't have to lift a finger. If there were any issues to be solved, I never had to hear of it as the whole day seem to go by very smooth. Ashley is awesome! There is no need look any further as you won't be disappointed with Agape Planning.

| How beautiful a day can be... when kindness touches it. Thank you!
Ashley, You have been such a tremendous help to us during this entire process of planning our wedding. No matter how many emails or calls we made to you, you were always accommodating, and you always answered with a smile. You took so much stress off of us and we always appreciated how quickly you got back to us when we had questions. This day would not have been possible without you and we are eternally grateful.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and thank you for your kindness and never ending happiness towards us.
Love, Joe & Deanna

Dear Ashley,
You were such a blessing to us during the whole wedding process. Thank you so much for everything... "I would highly recommend Ashley with Agape Planning. She not only was warm and friendly she was professional and extremely organized. This is one area I would never leave out of the whole wedding process. Ashley provided a service that goes above and beyond planning and organization...she provided "Peace of Mind". Her professionalism came with warmth and kindness. Ashley seemed to be 10 steps ahead of me, and it was such a great relief when the wedding day arrived and I could just sit back, relax and enjoy my day. Not only did everything come together with style and elegance, she was a pleasure to work with, very easy and gentle in her reminders. She also worked well with the other vendors, my mom adores her, and I made a new friend!"
Blessings, Robby & Stephanie

| Ashley, Working with you was truly a pleasure. Trent and myself could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Not only did I recognize how wonderful you are but many others said how smooth the day went and made comments about how efficient you were. Our day was truly perfect. Looking back there is nothing that could have went better. They always says at least one thing will go wrong at your wedding but looking back there was nothing I would change. It was a blessing from God to have you there on our special day and you are such a wonderful person and truly care about your clients so much. I don't think my Mom would have felt at ease if anyone else would have been our coordinator. Thanks again for all your hard work, and all the things you did the day of the wedding. The candy station looked amazing! I was just thrilled with everything! Ashley you are an awesome wedding coordinator! I don't see how anyone could keep up with you! Your work ethic is incredible! Thanks again and God Bless you and your family, you will never truly know how much everything you did meant to me. Love, Heather & Trent

| Ashley, what can I say,... If only I had called you sooner, right? After planning my own wedding, I had no way of making sure all of the beautiful things I had planned would ever be realized. I had no day of coordinator. I had no one to take care of all the seemingly insignificant things that i didn't even know existed. I knew 3 weeks before the wedding, I needed help! And then we called Ashley. It was a breath of fresh air. i had forgotten what relaxed felt like! She took care of EVERYTHING for me so I could enjoy being the bride, and anticipating the big day! Ashley was not only a wedding planner, day of coordinator, instructor, manager, administrator, crisis negotiator(just kidding), she was my right hand gal. I know my beautiful vintage black tie wedding would've been a big black mess without you!! Thank you ever so much for making our one and only wedding day flawless! Love, Rachel & William

Ashley,
I knew I needed help with my party but what I got from you was so much more,you are the go to gal who goes above and beyond.I don't think most planners would have jumped in and saved me when I hit my technology wall,you took an old wedding album and turned it into a stylish video montage.Together with your contacts we created an amazing 50 th anniversary party not soon to be forgotten.
Thank you, Leslie and Mike Layman

Ashley saved our wedding, there is no other way to put it. We had hired some other planners and after months, nothing had been done. We got the run around and a consistent routine of one planner blaming the other partner. We were out of town and needed permits for a beach wedding, as well as every other piece to be put together. We found Ashley with only a month to go and she basically had to start from scratch. She did a fantastic job. She got us organized, found what we needed and got the permits straightened out. She helped us so much that we cannot thank her enough. The wedding came off beautifully, mainly due to Ashley. She communicated with us all the way to the day of the wedding, met us and gave us a great run down. She was friendly, creative, flexible, yet extremely on the ball and organized. The wedding day itself had her making sure to keep all of the stress off of us and she handled many issues without us ever knowing. She was quick on her feet and incredible. I owe her a lot for all of the work she did. She truly felt sorry for us for the experience we had with the past planners. She gave 120% of herself to pull this wedding off and her rate was EXTREMELY low for what she did. She was the best I have ever heard of.

Dear Ashley,
At the time, Bill and I was not looking for wedding coordinator but I am so glad we did. We could not ask for a better wedding coordinator. Everything went so smoothly that I don't even know if there were any hiccups? All my guest said everything was beautiful and our wedding coordinator did a extraordinary job! You made our special even better!
Sincerely, Samantha and Bill Heric

| Our wedding was on Memorial Day weekend in the Los Angeles area- but we live in Chicago! Planning a wedding from long distance was a big task, but thankfully our wedding coordinator, Ashley Powell, was a lifesaver. From day one she went well above and beyond expectations. We had a traditional Indian wedding ceremony and despite this being her first Indian wedding, she took initiative to learn about the ceremony, talk to the officiant and familiarize herself with all our customs. She always remained respectful of our cultural traditions and our demanding work schedules. The guest list was large and she was so incredibly organized that the event went amazingly well, without a hitch. Countless guests commented on how well organized the event was especially considering that most Indian weddings run hours late. This was truly the best day of our lives and we were able to enjoy it without any stress about details or the timeline, thanks to Ashley. We recommend her with highest regard to anyone planning their big day!
Lovingly, Rashmee & Ashwin

| Dear Ashley,
Thank you so much for coordinating my wedding. It was truly an amazing experience. Having all your help was so wonderful. I really appreciate everything you did to make my wedding planning and wedding day an amazing experience for us. I truly felt at ease the day of knowing that you knew the vision and all my little details, and executing them so seamlessly. It was truly a joy to work with you from start to finish and all the guests commented on how smoothly and on time everything ran. I can't thank you enough!!! There were so many details that I heard of after the fact that you fixed without me even knowing about them.... a sign of the perfect coordinator! Everything was great.... and I did not have to worry about a thing! Amazing!
Thanks again, Carrie & Scot

I wasn't even thinking about hiring a wedding planner in the first place because I've been told it is a waste of money. THAT IS SO WRONG!!! Now, I cannot even imagin how can anyone going thru a wedding without a wedding planner. If you don't agree with me that is because you didn't have Ashley! If you do agree with me, you HAVE to HAVE Ashley planning your wedding. She is very organized and professional. She guided me every step of the way. She helped me review and evaluate quality vendors. She even helped me set up appointments with them and communicate with them when I was busy. She made planning a wedding so easy. I could manage to planning the whole thing pretty much by myself with Ashley's help. My hubby just had to be there. And She made everything happened the way I wanted on my big day. Everything is so great, I feel like words cannot describe. You have to experience it. I even got many compliments from my guests about her. Comparing the quality of her service to the cost, every penny is worthwhile.

| Hi Ash,
I wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for helping us throw an amazing wedding. Everything turned out better than I ever imagined. You made the whole weekend so easy and wonderful for me. I never felt an ounce of stress the entire time and I owe so much of that to you! Right now we are relaxing in beautiful Hawaii on our honeymoon, talking about how much fun we had at our wedding. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Love, Jen & Chris

Ashley is a wonderful wedding coordinator! She is so sweet and very pleasant to work with. Before the wedding she met with us and went through all the details of the ceremony and reception. She always kept in mind the vision that we had for the wedding while conveying her knowledge and ideas. Her great suggestions demonstrates her experience and expertise. The day of the wedding everything went perfect! My husband and I were able to enjoy the day and not once worry about anything. Ashley was such a extraordinary wedding coordinator and I recommend her to everyone!
Love, Lisa & Aaron

Ash,
Thank you so much for all the incredible work you did on our wedding! We are so, so, so glad we hired you and can't imagine how we would've survived without your amazing organization, great recommendations, professionalism, calmness under pressure, and undying "can do" attitude! We were so blessed to have you as part of our wedding!
Love, Connie & William

Dearest Ashley,
Thank you for being an amazing part of our wedding! It would not have been the same without you and we’re so blessed that you came into our lives. The day was perfect and exactly what we both envisioned. You have a wonderful way of listening to what we wanted and also making suggestions. Your attention to detail is exquisite! In the end, you had our best interest at heart. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are and know that our day would not have been the same had you not been there.

| Dear Ashley,
It was a very important and delicate thing to choose someone to help us with “our day”. We knew we had to have someone we both felt comfortable with but also someone we knew would get the job done. You definitely fit the bill.
We just wanted to take a moment to say “Thank You!” for such a wonderful job you did on our wedding. With all your help and coordination it was truly a memorable event that we will both keep for the rest of our lives. From the set-up, ceremony, reception and late night “munchies” table, everything was actually better than we anticipated. Everything was literally perfect. We cannot thank you enough for all you hard work and care. It felt as though you knew exactly what we were thinking and feeling all along. You truly came through with flying colors.
We will definitely recommend you to all my friends, family and acquaintances when they are getting ready for their wedding. We are confident and happy to give you our wholehearted endorsement.
Sincerely,
Sylvano & Katie

According to the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, "Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence". One's wedding day is simply that … the essence of love … expressed through the exchange of vows… it is a beautiful day that will forever be painted in the mind of those who experience it with you.
Ashley did an amazing job of creating and further developing our personal vision of the "essence of our love" on our wedding day and created an incredible lasting picture that has stayed with our guests and with us. Ashley was the perfect combination of consideration, clarity and warmth needed on such a hectic day. At all of our meetings, she was direct and upfront and everything that she promised, she delivered on. It was profound what Ashley was able to create and do within such a short amount of time.
On a personal level, Ashley understood what I wanted from that day, she simply got the "picture" I had created in my mind and ran with it. Had it not been for Ashley, our wedding day simply would not have been the treasured experience that it was. Ashley is by far one of the most organized, thoughtful and consistent individuals I have ever worked with. Ashley is a brilliant wedding planner and any bride who works with her is both moved by her radiant personality and dynamic ability to create a day that some only ever get to dream of. Forever will I be grateful to Ashley for all that she did on my wedding day. Thank you so much! Lovingly- Jill & Garrett

Dearest Ashley, Words cannot express my gratitude for your huge part in making Jennifer's Wedding Day magnificent!!! I truly know that the Lord led you to us when we met you at Mary Me Bridal. Your sweet calm spirit and professionalism and experience was welcomed by all who came into contact with you... Pat Markel, Nick DiAgostino and DJ Dan all told me that you were a delight to work with. We could NOT have done it without you... You took care of every detail (including me!!!) so effortlessly!
It truly was a beautiful perfect occasion... Our family has truly been blessed. Again, accept our heart-felt thanks... Beth & Ronnie (Jennifer's Parents)

| Dear Ashley,
I wanted to thank you for the help you provided me with my wedding. I am so glad we hired you to be our wedding coordinator. The vending referrals and ideas prior to the event were very helpful. After spending months planning every moment of the night, it was so nice to know someone was ensuring it all turned out the way we planned. I was able to truly enjoy the reception knowing you were there. Your presence was felt, but not over-bearing, and you appeared wherever I needed you. Thanks again for making our special day so enjoyable.

| Dearest Ashley, The most special and memorable day of our lives would not have been complete or as perfect without you. During the planning of this huge event you were our calm and friendly organizer. You made the experience positive and fun. You took on the great responsibility of managing our families and taking charge so that we could be confident that everything was in your hands and it really was! You were our constant and peace from the beginning plans to the very end of our wonderful wedding day. We love you Ashley!

| Dear Ashley, I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support with our Richard Nixon Library Wedding Show. It was a blast working with you. The script was wonderful and all of your help was fantastic. I loved that you took full ownership of the fashion show, making it something that I did not have to worry about and that I knew would be great! I hope you got a ton of business at your booth and I look forward to referring you out to our brides, so we can work together soon! Thanks again! Sincerely, Carrie Biddle Event Coordinator Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace

I wasn't so sure if we needed a wedding coordinator let alone if we could afford one. But I knew I just couldn't do it all by myself. Ashley made everything so easy and helped me out with all the elements I needed her advice on. If I knew then what I know now about Ashley's services, I would have hired her from the very beginning. Glenn & Reigh Lee

| Ashley was a lifesaver! We needed to find a photographer, florist, location... just about everything for our wedding. She made a few calls and set me up with all her service providers, which were fantastic! And, she pulled everything together in 27 days!! We can't imagine what she could dream up with more time. George & Rena

Ashley: I can not thank you enough for all you did for my wedding. The day went more smooth than I ever thought it would, thanks to you. Everything was just great and it really was the most perfect day. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything because I knew you had everything under control. You are an amazing coordinator, and all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! Love, Jennifer & Kyle
