Two spectacular events

Ashley and Cathy are simply the best! Ashley was so helpful in planning our intimate wedding early December and our larger NYE reception. She brought our vision to life beyond our expectation and was engaged at every level ensuring that every detail was perfect.

STUNNING florals from an A+ professional team

Ashley and team are amazing at what they do. Not only will your florals be exactly how you envision them coming to life, but you’ll have a team of professionals with you every step of the way. My wedding was complicated, we had a church wedding with florals following by a barn reception 30 min away with more florals and a custom seating chart. Ashley and team made my dream come to life. They created a custom seating chart with photos of all my guests and also helped transport the florals from the church to the venue to help me save on costs. Ashley always asks a ton of questions to ensure she gets your vision right. She will be super quick to respond to emails and professional every step of the way. Thank you Ashley for all of your hard work in helping my vision come to life!

Look No Further!

C&A Event Planning was a fantastic addition to our wedding. The team not only created beautiful flowers, they managed our entire wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly. No detail was forgotten and our day ran as seamless as possible. We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and we would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator, planner, or floral designer. Worth every penny!

Hi! I’m Ashley. I am a self proclaimed wedding guru. I grew up in the wedding and event industry. As an only child I went to work with my mom and got to experience the incredible rush of weddings, now it’s in my veins and it is my passion! As a wedding planner and floral designer I have an eye for design and attention to detail -- it's just in my Type A veins. I’m a wife, daughter, friend and I’m a mama to 3 incredible boys. I’m a firm believer in loving big, making memories and savoring moments.

Let's get real, I cry at every wedding - it's true. My favorite moments are when the bride sees her parents for the first time and when she sees her partner, whew – I’m getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

We have had the pleasure of working with Ashley and Cathy of C & A Events over the past years in Richmond, VA. They are truly a joy to plan events with! Both are extremely detail oriented and work well as a mother/daughter team. We were so sad to see them leave for New York, but know they are flourishing in their business and we couldn't be happier for them! We highly recommend them for your next event!
