Now booking 2023 Weddings & Events! LOUDOUN COUNTY VA, DC, DESTINATIONS!
I'm Jessica, the founder of Jessica Ashley Events. Planning and design is my passion and after many years of entrepreneurship I founded this business to pursue my dream of being one of the top designers and planners in the industry. My goal was to create something uniquely authentic to who I am and be a wave of positivity within our industry. I did this by teaching myself and finding what works best for us and our clients, always focusing on their priorities and the overall guest experience. I also created an insanely talented network of luxury wedding vendors who go above and beyond for us (because we intentionally make their jobs easier!)
Inspired by the world of fashion, interior design, and art history, we design each event to be as unique as our incredible clients. No two events are the same! We care deeply about the overall guest experience and want each wedding to be a reflection of our clients and their stories. I believe in working smarter and more efficiently to create ease and joy throughout the process. Couples come in as clients but always leave as friends (two brides now work with us and our team of 5 continues to grow!) I know that a plan must be perfectly executed with grace and hard work; and a well designed event can create an unforgettable experience. I grew up in Sarasota, Florida and moved to Virginia to attend James Madison University. I am married to my college sweetheart (Go Dukes!) and mama to two daughters, a son, and our two rescue pups! I am reiki 2 certified, a 200 YTT yoga instructor, and a cancer survivor. I am grateful for a unique perspective on life and a strong moral compass that I believe is essential to how we operate in this world. I am beyond grateful to live doing what I love every single day. Questions? Ask away!
