About Ashley Albanese Weddings and Events

Ashley Albanese Weddings and Events

Lead Planner

I have been a wedding and event planner for over five years, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable celebrations. Before stepping into the world of weddings and events, I was a teacher — a role that honed her organization skills, creativity, and ability to keep even the busiest schedules running smoothly. Today, I combine those strengths with my love for celebrating love stories, creating magical events, guiding my couples through every detail to help them plan the wedding or event of their dreams.

With a background in teaching, I bring a love of organization, creativity, and heart into every wedding and event I plan. From the big-picture vision to the tiniest details, I’m here to make sure your day flows smoothly so you can be fully present in every moment. My style? Fun, sweet, and minimal—because the best weddings or events don’t need to be overcomplicated. They just need to feel like you. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate gathering or a lively celebration, I’ll be right by your side to guide, support, and cheer you on every step of the way.

In three words: Calm, Fun, Organized

  • A Mom’s Gratitude!

    Ashley manages to stay on top of infinite details, solve unexpected problems, provide sensible advice—and make it all look easy—"NO question is a dumb question!" (she said to me more than once). She managed the day with apparent ease; trusting her (completely) with logistics and distractions meant we could focus on the meaning and joy of the day. And on top of the invaluable work she did, Ashley made us feel like she loves her job, loved my kids, and loved being part of this special day... which helped to make the day even more special.

    Wow, truly WHERE to begin -- we could imagine our day without Ashley. She is kinda, she is prompt, she is reliable, she is brilliant, she is funny, and she is efficient. Those are just a few descriptors -- for someone who is a SUPER type-A planner, not inclined to trust other people's organizational skills....I totally was able to let go of the reigns, without a second of hesitation. Ashley made our wedding day absolutely flawless, but she also made it relaxed and fun. Not just for us, but for our family, friends, and guests. We miss her but feel lucky we know we'll stay in each other's lives. 1 million out of ten, couldn't recommend Ashley more!

    Ashley deserves a million stars! Words cannot express how much her commitment, professionalism, expertise, and overall impressiveness meant to me, my husband, my family, and our entire wedding party. Not to mention our fellow vendors and venue! Every single person and team who came into contact with Ashley throughout our wedding process was grateful to work with her. We truly cannot recommend her enough. She continues to be a considerate and encouraging friend even after the wedding weekend has come and gone. Future clients will be so lucky to have her!

    Working with Ashley is honestly one of the greatest joys in this industry. She’s the definition of a heart-of-gold human. She is kind, steady, present, & so deeply committed to her couples it feels like she was made for this work. From a photographer’s perspective, she’s the person you want in the room: a true problem-solver, a calm energy, & someone who can turn any hiccup into a seamless moment, without anyone even noticing. She works hard, & she does it with grace, intention, & this quiet magic that makes the entire wedding day feel elevated & effortless. If you want a planner who pours her whole heart into your experience & creates a space where your vision can actually breathe & come to life, Ashley is it. Every couple is lucky to have her & every time I get to work with her, so am I.
