Dominque S.
2027 Bride w/ the Best Destify Planner
Ashley Sandman has been absolutely amazing throughout our wedding planning process! From the very beginning, she has been patient, responsive, and so helpful with every single question I’ve had and trust me, I’ve had plenty! She has even taken the time to respond later in the evening just to make sure my questions were answered. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail and patience with me as I changed hotels more than once trying to find the perfect resort and venue for our wedding. She never made me feel like I was being difficult or asking for too much. Instead, she continued providing options, answering questions, and giving us the information we needed to make the best decision. Finding the right hotel and wedding venue was one of the biggest things I was stressing about, and Ashley truly took so much of that stress off of us. We finally found the perfect place for our wedding, and I’m so grateful to have had her helping us through the process. If you’re planning a destination wedding and want someone who is patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful, I definitely recommend Ashley. She has made this part of our wedding planning experience so much easier, and we couldn’t be happier!

The BEST Wedding Consultant!
I was feeling so overwhelmed with options and not knowing where to start when I began thinking about doing a destination wedding. I got Ashley Sandman and she was so good I questioned if I was getting scammed. She is so friendly, patient, and takes exactly what your general wants are and finds the best destination spots available. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you’re looking into a destination wedding!

Seamless Experience
Ashley Sandman was absolutely amazing to work with! From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel so easy and exciting. She gave us a detailed presentation, walked us through every step, explained all of our options, and answered every single question we had without ever making us feel rushed. She is incredibly friendly, bubbly, kind, and genuinely excited for us, and that enthusiasm made the experience so much fun. What could have felt overwhelming became completely seamless because of how organized and knowledgeable she is. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and makes wedding planning an enjoyable experience, I can’t recommend Ashley enough. We’re so grateful to have her helping us plan such a special time in our lives!
