Ashlie is amazing!

We had Ashlie as our day of coordinator & she was great! From the second we hired her (a year and a half out from our wedding date) to all the way til the night ended she was so helpful! She helped us with our wedding day timeline, rehearsal, setting up, tearing down, & of course making sure the whole day went smooth & was on time! Our day truly wouldn’t have been the best without Ashlie! 10000/10 you need her for your big day. I was able to enjoy every single moment & not worry about anything else because I knew she had it handled. Thank you Ashlie!!
Hire Ashlie! We would do it again if we could.

Ashlie and her team are the best. Gosh, we are so happy to have chosen her to run the day for us. From start to finish our day was FLAWLESS. We had the perfect amount of time to hide away just the two of us, mingle with guests and time to dance. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like we put so much work into our wedding day decor, food menu, etc. etc. And for Ashlie to put it all together and execute it so beautifully was the most magical part. I would highly recommend booking with Ashlie because she books up fast - we were lucky to have booked with her on a day she was available. BIG thank you for everything. We love you and are so grateful for you. BEST DAY EVER!!!! 7.18.25

As a wedding DJ I know first hand a great coordinator with style and management of the day. Ashley is so good creating elegance and bringing joy and genuinely nice which is a plus. I will refer clients to Ashly when I can DJ Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs
Best decision ever!

GURRRRLLLL!!! If you aren't hiring Designs by Ashlie Smith where the heck you at?! Perfection. Phenomenal. Amazing. Are simply words that are an understatement of how great Ashlie and her team are. From the start of our first meeting to the last minute of our wedding, Ashlie was on point with everything. My vision of what I wanted, my concerns and must haves and all else in between, she took all my dreams and made them come true. They didn't skip a beat on one thing. Carly and Amber were incredibly sweet as well and were on it with all we needed that day. It took so much stress off us during the planning and day of we really wouldn't have been able to do it with her. She truly has a heart of gold, I could yell from the rooftop how great she is. I am SOOO sad our wedding is over I enjoyed our weekly calls so much. Call her and book her NOW!!
