Hi, I'm Ashley — and I've been in your shoes.
I'm a wedding planner, florist, and business strategist with 17+ years inside this industry. While building my own wedding business, C+A Event Planning, I found myself doing what most wedding pros do — wearing every hat, managing every detail, and wondering when I'd actually get to lead. That's exactly why I created Ashley Paul Co.
I'm a self-proclaimed Type A — and I wear that proudly. I've spent years building airtight systems, streamlining operations, and color-coding everything in sight (yes, labeled too). With a background spanning luxury weddings, floral design, and full event management, I bring a level of industry insight that no outside consultant can replicate. I know what your business needs because I've lived it firsthand.
Why Ashley?
Why work with an OBM who's actually been a wedding pro?
Because I'm not guessing at what your busy season feels like — I've lived it. I understand the pressure of back-to-back weekends, the client communication marathon, and the creative burnout that sneaks up when you least expect it.
I've built and run my own wedding business for 17 years. I bring that experience directly into the work I do with yours. My goal isn't just to support you — it's to help you build a business that runs with intention so you can grow without burning out.
You deserve to lead the business you built. Let's make that happen.
"I know how important social media is but it was one of the most draining things for me when I first opened my wedding planning business. Consistency was always a struggle for me, but with Ashley's help, I feel like I'm finally getting there. She is amazing at translating my ideas into engaging content. Hire Ashley for all your social media needs, you won't regret it!" Bailey, Gathered Wedding Planning
