Whether you work with her three months out or from the day you say “I do,” she is the kind of magic-maker that you want on your team. Ashley is passionate about showing her couples that the planning + engagement season of your journey to the altar can (and should) be painless and enjoyable.

Ashley received her Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management from the University of South Carolina Beaufort. She always had a love for event planning and hosting, whether it was for her sorority, hosting at home, or helping in the Charleston hospitality industry with various hotels. She has worked for one of Charleston's beautiful venues as well as a full service catering team before joining the team at CEC.

A Summerville, SC native, Ashley enjoys ending the day with her fiance, Chandler, their two german shorthair pointers, Baylor and  Carter, and evening rides on the golf cart.
