When I tell you JJAsh is by far the best, it’s a complete understatement. When I met Ashanti I was nervous not really knowing what to expect for wedding planning. But I told Ashanti my vision and she made it happen. If we didn’t have her for our wedding, I don’t know where we would be or how it would have turned out. JJAsh is the absolute best and you will not regret working with this amazing team. More...

I cannot thank Ashanti and her amazing team enough for the incredible job they did with our wedding. From the very beginning, Ashanti and her team were organized, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. Every detail was handled with care, and their calm, professional presence made the entire planning process feel seamless. On the big day, everything ran perfectly—thanks to their behind-the-scenes coordination and problem-solving. Our guests raved about how smooth and beautiful the event was, and we were able to truly enjoy every moment without stress. They delivered beyond expectations, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and delivers excellence! More...

I worked with Ashanti for my daughter’s wedding back in April, She was amazing and went above and beyond for us! Her team was amazing as well, Ashanti and her team showed that they really cared about us and our experience, definitely will be booking with her for any other event no questions asked couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! Thank you jjashdesigns !
Whitney
JJ Ash did a WONDERFUL job with our wedding! We hired them for day-of coordination a week before the wedding and they truly delivered! They were with us every step of the way beginning in the morning on our wedding day and assisted us with getting ready and transportation and the venue schedule for the ceremony and reception. They coordinated with all of our vendors on our behalf, allowing us to just focus on our personal details the week prior to the wedding. They also did a great job working with the photographer on our photo plan and having everyone cued and ready to take care of photos fast! Highly recommend — you will be so pleased with your event :) More...

Edwin and Lori Ann Salazar
Ashanti and her team were fantastic. As the parents of the bride we were skeptical on what was involved with having a wedding planner but when the day of the wedding came we were so happy with Ashanti and her team. The decorations, organization of the vendors, the last minute requests from us was all taken care of. We did not have to worry about a single thing. She kept us on schedule, was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Ashanti and her team. It was so worth the process to have a wedding planner. More...
Carmen Salazar
The reason I rated Ashanti so high is because she deserves every single star and more. She was so easy to work with and very understanding of our nerves with the process. She showed up and showed our for everything we needed. Her crew was amazing as well super helpful and paid attention to detail. If you want the wedding of your dreams she’s the one to go to! More...

HIRE ASHANTI!!! You will not be disappointed. She helped make my daughter’s dream wedding come true. She was in contact with me, the venue and all vendors constantly to ensure delivery, setup, arrivals, departures etc. the ceremony ended sooner than expected, no problem. She didn’t miss a beat and kept things moving into the cocktail hour and reception. She transformed the hotel ballroom into a glamorous event. Her creativity is on 100! I received so many compliments on the decorations, seamless execution and professionalism of her and her staff. I asked for the wow factor and she pulled out all the stops!! Best call I made was to Ashanti...money well spent! More...

Mrs. Neal is definitely an event guru. Her crafty, professional and detailed oriented company is by far the greatest. She created an memorable experience with an lasting impact on all of my guest. The set up and designs were very expensive looking and were also durable and were well worth it. This company will definitely be used for any future events that I’ll be having. Thanks for such a great experience J.J.Ash Events And Designs! More...
