The Perfect Team!

We’re the perfect example of you get what you pay for.

Started our wedding journey trying to save as much money as we could and opted for hiring a wedding coordinator instead of a planner (we didn’t know the difference at the time).

Well… it took us 2 months of achieving absolutely nothing to realize that we had made the wrong choice.

Some Google searches and we came across Ashley Nicole Affair. We jumped on a call with them and immediately realized these ladies knew their stuff.

Our expectation was to hire somebody that would take us by the hand every step of the way and that’s what ANA delivered.

Although that’s not what impressed us the most…

We know we all make mistakes and sh*t usually happens along the way; and a lot can be said about a person’s character and values depending on how she deals with it.

Well, Ashley did an amazing job navigating through the curve balls life threw at us while planning our wedding and we respect that.

That being said, Ashley has built her team with a great system behind it. Everybody knows what needs to be done, how, why, and where. No matter what, they got you covered.

Kerri and Ashley planned and built our dream wedding from the ground up. The amount of rentals that ANA has for your special day is stunning! … and really helpful!

Ashley crafted beautiful florals and nailed our vision.

Amanda, Starla, and Diandra, were the coordinators present the day of our wedding and they were incredible too! They made everything super easy, fluent, natural, and made us feel taken care of. Not to mention the 3 of them were super sweet and everybody at the wedding loved them.

Because of Ashley Nicole Affair, we enjoyed our wedding day 100% stress free!

Want the perfect wedding? Then hire the Ashley Nicole Affair team!

Amanda Bartz was my planner and Koty was her assistant on the day of. There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe how phenomenal Amanda and the ANA team were during my wedding planning journey. I live in Chicago, so I knew planning a wedding in a different city was going to require me to hire a wedding planner. What I didn’t expect was to end up hiring the most organized, professional, and overall amazing wedding planner and planning team in the business. RUN don’t walk to hire them as your trusted planners. I never once felt stressed about logistics, and Amanda handled my many questions and requests with such kindness. When choosing vendors, she provided me with many great options that she and her team have an established relationship with. I felt like a celebrity when I would communicate with the potential vendors because everyone in the industry knows and trusts Amanda and the Ashley Nicole Affair team. Plus, they have an awesome rental inventory that we ended up using for our seating chart and an easel. On the day of, Amanda shined bright and made everything run perfectly! Her assistant Koty also got amazing behind-the-scenes content and shared that with us. We really can’t thank Amanda and the ANA team enough for all their hard work and expertise. Thank you Amanda for making my dream wedding a reality!

Stress-free and personal planning experience!

From my very first call with Ashley in January of this year, she put all my anxiety and stresses about planning a wedding at ease. I knew there would be stress that came with planning a wedding regardless, but planning one between multiple time zones and countries was another level. We started planning our wedding while I was still living in DC, a few months later I relocated to Tunisia with Reece and then just two months after that, we landed in India. Ashley never stressed out about having our calls or meetings or texts at crazy hours, she was always available and answered every single one of my questions and was so supportive of my ideas and thoughts for the wedding, but also was such a resource for recommendations and additional ideas to conducer for the wedding. I truly am forever grateful to Ashley and your whole team for being the biggest support throughout our planning process and on the day of our wedding in Santa Fe.

Ashley is truly one of the most remarkable people I have met. I know she was juggling multiple clients and priorities, personal and professional ones, throughout the planning purpose, but she never let that show. When we were speaking, I felt like I was her focus and she listened to me so clearly, that when I showed up at our wedding, it was everything I wanted and more. It was perfect for us, and exactly what I wanted.

The actual day of our wedding was a complete blur for me, truly. But, looking back at it now, and seeing all those smiling faces, and hearing such wonderful comments from all of our family and closest friends about how much they loved the whole weekend in Santa Fe, I always say I have to thank Ashley. I would never have been able to plan our wedding without her, and I am so grateful I found Ashley Nicole Affair! From vendor recommendations to handling all logistics for transportation to also handling all of our flowers, I really cannot thank her and her team enough - truly.

Team

Ashley Schmick
Ashley Schmick
CEO + Owner

Ashley is a New Mexico native who's embraced all the charm and excitement that Texas has to offer. Her journey led her to cut ties with corporate America, leaving her role at Delta Air Lines to establish Ashley Nicole Affair. Ashley thrives in the company of people, finds inspiration in chaos, and is fueled by the electric energy of her surroundings. While she primarily works behind the scenes at Ashley Nicole Affair, she's also knee-deep in flowers after launching our sister brand, Fleur Affair. Her best friend and greatest pride is her hysterically funny son, Luca, who brings endless joy to her life. Ashley's adventurous spirit never allows her to stay still for long, and she's always on the go. But when she's not traveling, you can catch her binge-watching episodes of "90 Day Fiancé" or "Dateline."
