Kayla & the Ascend Events team was an absolute pleasure to work with & I hope that we work in tandem for many more future events. I own/operate Mount Tom House and worked with Kayla as we planned a couple's wedding weekend. Sometimes my job & responsibilities as the venue host overlaps with a wedding planner's. I loved working with Kayla because her communication was clear, consistent, and honest throughout the entire planning process & we were able to jointly work together as a true *team.* I was involved in the couple's on-site planning meetings and it was SO COOL to see Kayla take the couple's ideas & preferences and bring them to life at Mount Tom House. Kayla's work was extremely thorough, creative, and day-of she was one of the hardest working people at Mount Tom - she didn't stop all day! She is a true advocate for her clients and for the hired vendors. She doesn't leave a single stone unturned and is extremely detail-oriented in her planning (a huge value to a venue owner!). If you have the opportunity to work with Kayla, whether as a fellow vendor or as a couple seeking wedding planning and coordination, I highly, highly recommend you seize the opportunity!

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings, and in 2024, I coordinated and planned 17 weddings. I'm halfway booked up for 2025!

Hello, I'm Olivia! I love to craft authentic, deeply-curated events that truly celebrate you and your partner. That means I live for the funky details: adding wild turkey feathers to your floral arrangements, asking the ring bearer to dress as a hobbit, ditching your heels for some comfy sneakers during the reception, getting hitched at midnight… whatever you can dream of! I like to say, "everyone's been to a wedding... but they haven't been to YOURS!"

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia did an absolutely amazing job in making our wedding day everything we hoped for. It's hard to know where to start because wow she just knocked it out of the park from start to finish. If you have any hesitation in hiring a planner we are here to say do it! and hire Olivia, you will have no regrets and it would have been impossible to handle all the day of coordination and enjoy the day and be present with each other if Olivia was hard at work behind the scenes. She is incredible at here job and guided us every step of the way answering question and always there to bounce ideas off of. She found us all the right vendors and worked seamlessly with everyone to coordinate the ceremony and all the events leading up to it. She made the space beautiful even though we were on a budget. She even collected rocks from the Eugene area to help complete our table decorations! She rocks! She is not only the best at her job but she really took part in the party. Her and her team are so kind and genuinely happy to be part of the celebration with us. Kicking off the photo taking and moving people to the dance floor, just so fun. Olivia handles all the scheduling with family and vendor coordination in the weeks prior and day of so you really do just get to sit back and enjoy the day and be present. I wish I could give her 10 stars because she really made the day for us. Having a wedding planner and especially having Olivia as your wedding planner is my top advice for those looking to plan their big day, it takes all the stress out of it.

I’ve been working in the wedding industry since before I had a driver’s license. My father is a SoCal based wedding videographer of 20 years. Starting as a young teen, he would let me tag along to weddings to help haul equipment. I fell in love with the hustle and I ended up working 15+ weddings as his assistant videographer before I left for college. Professionally, I have been working as a stage manager in events and entertainment for 9 years, mostly in the SLC, Utah area. I always felt the wedding industry calling me back, so about 3 years ago I began applying my events management skills to wedding planning and never looked back.

Working with Nottingham Events made planning our wedding feel effortless from start to finish. They stayed in touch with us throughout the process, always responding quickly and explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. They caught details I would have missed and suggested creative solutions that made our day even better. On our wedding day, everything ran smoothly because they had thought through every step ahead of time. We felt supported and stress-free, which let us actually enjoy the experience. Nottingham Events truly delivered an amazing service, and we'd immediately and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a planner.

I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is equal parts calm, brilliant, kind, organized, and downright magical — look no further than Ashley. From the moment we started planning, Ashley saved us both time and money in ways we didn’t even know were possible. She sourced incredible vendors within our budget, presented thoughtful options that actually aligned with our vision, and somehow managed to keep track of every tiny detail along the way. Her resourcefulness alone paid for itself ten times over. Ashley also had the unique ability to navigate and balance our very different planning styles — my Type A tendencies and my husband’s more last-minute approach — with so much grace, humor, and patience. We often joked that we wished we could keep her in our lives forever to make all our daily decisions, because she made everything feel lighter and easier. There were a couple moments when certain vendors didn’t follow through according to their contracts, and Ashley stepped in immediately, handled everything professionally, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was our advocate in every sense. Her attention to detail was unparalleled. She monitored the weather for weeks leading up to the big day, and she was absolutely right — though it was gorgeous, the wind changed several elements of our ceremony and décor. Because she anticipated it, planned for it, and had contingencies ready, everything went more smoothly than it ever could have without her preparation. She also helped coordinate the other events throughout our wedding weekend, making each one feel special and seamless. Even the bathroom baskets she curated for guests were thoughtful and beautifully done. Every single guest has told us how wonderful the wedding and the entire experience felt — and we couldn’t agree more. Weddings will always have at least some chaos, but with Ashley by our side we were protected from most of it, and we remained calm even in the moments that could have easily unraveled. She was truly one of the main reasons everyone had such an incredible time. We are endlessly grateful for her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Hiring Ashley was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Kaila at Rose & Fern Events for your wedding. As the bride (and someone who has anxiety), not only was I able to enjoy the last week or so leading up to the wedding, but I was able to fully enjoy the morning of the wedding (and the actual wedding) because of Kaila. She is friendly, professional, and an excellent communicator. She is so on top of everything, to the point where she knew that we were wanting to do a group shot with our little group of best friends, and she went out of her way to hunt down my husband and our best man to make sure we were all together to get it done. We got married in April of this year and to this day, we STILL have members of our family and our friends talk about how impressed they were with Kaila and her skills. Do yourself a favor and hire her!

Working with Sam at Bloom Events Portland was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our first conversation, she was warm and professional and always made sure every detail was covered. Sam took some of the stress out of planning and let us actually enjoy the lead-up to our big day, then executed everything flawlessly on the day itself. Her attention to detail was unmatched and she cared about our vision as much as we did. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful she was, and we didn't have a single worry the entire time because Sam had it all handled. Every penny we spent was worth it and we can't recommend her enough!

Bridal bliss was recommended by my venue and they did not disappoint! Liz made us feel confident the plan for our somewhat nontraditional, cocktail style reception was going to go off without a hitch. When it came to the actual day, it all worked wonderfully! I wouldn’t have felt as calm and in the moment without her. Her recommendations for vendors in the area also helped us immensely as we were out of state.
