Meet Ashley Chanel
For over a decade, she has curated weddings and gatherings defined by intention, emotional depth, and refined detail.
Her work is rooted in the belief that a celebration should feel as personal as it is beautiful. Not simply styled but lived in. Not just admired but remembered.
Ashley approaches each event as both artist and advocate. She leads with vision, thinking cinematically about atmosphere, flow, and experience, while managing the intricate logistics that bring that vision to life. Her clients trust her not only for her aesthetic sensibility, but for her calm presence and clarity of direction.
Alongside her is a team of exceptional designers and event professionals dedicated to executing each vision with precision and care. Together, they ensure that every detail from the smallest finishing touch to the day of feels seamless, elevated, and unmistakably aligned with her client’s story.
our promise
We believe in creating the best possible experience for our clients through communication and trust.
Since ACED was founded, we have carefully refined our planning and design process - considering the smallest details along the way. From the first consultation to the final execution, every step is structured to feel clear, collaborative, and intentional.
We believe you should feel excited, not overwhelmed. Inspired, not uncertain. Guided, not burdened.
THE PROCESS-IN DETAIL
Throughout the years of planning weddings we’ve refined our process that reflects our promise. To ensure a personable experience that focuses on your needs, from design to logistics, to execution and coordination.
Every celebration starts with feeling. We begin by understanding who you are — your story, your aesthetic sensibility, your priorities — and the atmosphere you want to create. We define the emotional tone first. The rest follows.
Design informs every decision from the very beginning. Venue selection, vendor alignment, spatial layout, lighting direction — all are filtered through a cohesive creative vision.
We introduce you to a trusted, hand-selected portfolio of vendors whose talent and professionalism align with the level of execution your celebration deserves. Every creative partner is chosen intentionally — for aesthetic cohesion, communication style, and excellence in craft.
With the core vision established, we begin layering details — materials, textures, florals, paper goods, styling, and atmosphere. Our approach is elevated but restrained. We prioritize warmth, depth, and timelessness over trend-driven excess.
We approach each celebration as a narrative. How do guests arrive? Where does their eye travel first? How does light move as the evening unfolds? We design pacing, transitions, and energy shifts to create a fully immersive experience.
We act as both creative partners and advocate throughout the planning journey. We manage vendors with clarity, set realistic expectations, and protect the integrity of your experience. If complexity arises, it is handled quietly and professionally — without disrupting the atmosphere.
As the celebration approaches, we move into full production mode. Timelines are refined. Details are confirmed. Installations are directed with precision. Our team leads behind the scenes with steady authority so that the event unfolds exactly as designed.

In review | Testimonials
The true measure of our work is how it feels long after the celebration ends.
Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. Her attention to detail is exceptional — she anticipated needs before I even knew I had them. Beyond her talent and professionalism, she showed up for me in such a personal way. She was present, steady, and supportive throughout the entire process, like a trusted friend who truly wanted everything to be perfect. I felt completely taken care of.
