I’m Ashley, I got into Wedding Planning 7 years ago after planning my own wedding and finding a passion for the wedding planning process. I’ve always been a type-a person, obsessed with getting deep into the details of everything, creating and hosting and planning events. Being a hopeless romantic, getting into the wedding industry felt like a natural progression.
Over the years I noticed that wedding planning packages were so rigid and often weren’t customizable to the couples budget, wants or needs. For some reason being told that the event was a “Wedding” immediately skyrocketed the cost. I wanted to change that, so I started Instinkt Events.
Instinkt Events is a boutique wedding and event company, with the idea that all celebrations should be stress free, well-managed, memorable and completely customizable to your vision and budget.
We are proud to use the best local industry resources to make planning convenient, simple and fun again. From our interactive timelines, customized checklists and organizational systems, we take care of all of the fine details so you, your wedding party and your guests can focus on what really matters - YOUR DAY.
How We Plan The Details
At Instinkt we create a custom plan for every couple, whether you choose to build your own à La Carte package or the complete planning packages, our goal is to assure you have exactly what you need to make the planning process seamless, fun and memorable.
The First Step: Scheduling a free 30 minute consultation. This is for us to get to know each other and see if we would be the right fit in working together. Nothing is more important than our working relationship throughout this process. During this consultation, we’ll talk about your relationship, which package we offer would suit your needs best, and the big picture vision for your day.

The Second Step: This is my favourite part of the process. I send you a detailed form for you to fill out. This form helps me understand what your vision is for your day on a more detailed level. This is where you’ll add inspiration photos from your vision boards, tell me your colour ideas, fill me in on who the must-know people at your event are, let me know what your overall budget is and ask me questions that you may have at the beginning of this process and so much more.
The Third Step: We’ll get together again, typically for about an hour to go over this form and the details I have put together based on the information you gave me. Anything missing from your vision we’ll spend time piecing together over this consultation. Once I have confirmation I have the vision for your day pieced together, I’ll start doing the work based on the package you picked.
The Fourth Step: Corresponding with you and keeping you in the loop of what is being done with your day. This is done completely on whatever basis you’re most comfortable with and depending on the timeline of your event, typically one month check-ins are sufficient. Between this step and the next step, I am available via text, email or phone call to answer any questions,
The Fifth Step: Executing your big day! The day has arrived. You’re focused on nothing except for enjoying the moment and making memories, and I am handling the remainder of the details.
