"Jennifer is simply the best!"

My husband and I got married in August at The Addison Grove, we had the most amazing team. Jen from start to finish was genuinely devoted to doing whatever she could to make our wedding day as seamless and the way we envisioned. With a very A-type personality, surprisingly Jen was always one step ahead of me and made sure to have everything ready for a stress-free wedding week/weekend and especially the day. She is a GEM, an encourager, friend, and the biggest blessing preparing for our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jen. From the bottom of our hearts, we dont know what we would do without her help and support throughout that time. Run fast and book her, you will not regret it one ounce.

"Together, they made our wedding day run like a dream!"

Finding the right planner for your wedding can feel overwhelming-it truly can make or break your big day. Well, let me tell you, we hit the jackpot with Jennifer Ashford from Altar Ego Weddings! From our first meeting, we knew she was the rockstar we needed to bring our vision to life.

Jennifer was incredibly conscientious of both our needs and our budget, making magic happen every step of the way. She worked seamlessly with the venue owner to ensure our day was absolutely stunning and everything I had dreamed of. There wasn't a single question or crazy idea she couldn't handle-she made us feel so heard and special throughout the entire process.

Her organization and calm-yet-commanding presence on the day of were unmatched. She struck the perfect balance of chill and focused, making sure every detail was executed exactly as we envisioned. I was even able to fully relax the day of (which is not easy for me-I'm usually pretty anxious!) because I knew she had everything under control. Jennifer's day-of assistant was also phenomenal-so sweet and helpful the entire night. Together, they made our wedding day run like a dream, and I genuinely felt no stress, just pure joy.

If you want your wedding to be magical, stress-free, and expertly executed, I cannot recommend Altar Ego Weddings enough. Jennifer is simply the best, and we're so grateful for her and her incredible team!

"I cannot recommend Jen at Altar Ego Weddings enough!"

From the start, her experience and knowledge were clear. She has the best contacts in the business, and she helped me build an incredible vendor team for my wedding. While I wasn't someone who dreamed of my wedding since childhood, I did have a vision, and Jenn brought it to life while ensuring we were good stewards of our budget.

Jenn was a pro at handling tough conversations with vendors, providing clear feedback when needed, and reviewing contracts to ensure everything was in our best interest. Her negotiating skills helped us secure great deals, and she kept me organized with payment deadlines, form requests, and every other detail I would have overlooked.

The planning process had its stressful moments, but Jenn was my biggest supporter and advocate, always reminding me to focus on the bigger picture-marrying my husband. In the end, she wasn't just a planner but a true friend and accountability partner throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Jenn was organized, calm, and collected, which helped immensely when I was feeling scattered and stressed. I truly couldn't have asked for a better planner!

"We really appreciated her consistent communication throughout the whole process."

Working with Jennifer was my wedding gift to me (and to my husband, to spare him from marrying a bridezilla). She helped us plan, coordinate and execute such a beautiful, fun and memorable celebration with 3 months to work with. One of Jennifer's great skills is listening for details and then offering excellent options based on those details. She saved us so much time! We really appreciated her consistent communication throughout the whole process. She kept us on track so that everything was settled a week before the wedding, which freed us up to leave town and enjoy that time with friends at the beach, instead of stressing over loose ends.

Jennifer is excellent at coordinating/scheduling the venues, vendors, guests together so that everything that needs to happen does. She handles it so that the bride and groom don't have to. People told me that we would hardly remember our big day, that it would be just a blur in our memory. But it is just the opposite. On the day of our wedding, we were free to fully enjoy each other and our friends and family, free to be fully present and soak in every moment and party!!! Our memories our vivid and rich because Jennifer intentionally created the environment where that would happen. And that is the greatest gift of her work.

I cannot recommend Jennifer and Altar Ego Weddings enough. She's a wonderful human-you'll enjoy working with her - and she'll help you create an experience you'll cherish for life.

"Jennifer is YOUR gal!"

From our very first interaction with Jennifer at the Ma Maison open house to our final send-off on our wedding night, she was nothing short of exceptional. Professional, personable, and incredibly dedicated, Jennifer went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Although we hired Jennifer for month-of and day-of coordination, she was an invaluable resource throughout the entire planning process. She was always responsive, transparent, and willing to help with vendor communications, timeline organization, and every little detail. On the big day, she ensured all of our vendors were on time, fully prepared, and knew the flow of events, allowing us to be completely stress-free. She even navigated our unique family dynamics with grace and understanding, making potentially tricky moments seamless and comfortable.

Jennifer's energy and enthusiasm brought such a fun, positive presence to our reception-my bridesmaids adored her just as much as I did! She and her team made sure everything ran smoothly, and we are beyond grateful for their support.

If you're looking for top-tier, class-A service, Altar Ego Weddings is the planning team you want by your side. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our day absolutely perfect!

"Jen is an outstanding planner!"

When it came time to choosing a wedding planners I knew the importance of choosing the right wedding planner, and from the moment I finished my first phone call with Jen, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Jen's clear communication, organization, knowledge, and just making you feel at ease during the planning process makes her seriously the best!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Jen's resources and constant reassurance and availability via phone/text/email made everything so much easier. Thanks to her expertise, our wedding day went off without a hitch. She handled every detail flawlessly, ensuring that we could relax and really enjoy every moment of our wedding. She also is the best body guard when you need one for your wedding ;)

In the end, your wedding is the biggest party you'll ever throw, and investing in Jen's services was absolutely worth it. She took a huge load off my shoulders and allowed me and my now husband to truly enjoy the wedding day! Jen is an outstanding planner, and we couldn't be happier with her work and how the day turned out!

"Working with Jen was the best decision we made!"

Even from my first phone call with Jen, I could tell how professional, experienced, and passionate she was about what she does. She was super receptive to our vision for the wedding and made everything go beyond anything we could have ever wished for! Even though we were planning our wedding from out-of-state, Jen made the process so seamless and stress-free. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Jen was able to pivot the entire wedding day less than 24 hours before it began - and you never would have guessed it was plan B because of how intentional and beautifully everything came together. It was the happiest day of our lives and I know that we have Jen to thank for that!

"Jennifer Ashford is a WORLD CLASS INCREDIBLE wedding planner."

Wow wow wow where do I even begin to start with this review. Jennifer Ashford is a WORLD CLASS INCREDIBLE wedding planner. We hired her for her full service wedding package as we were planning the Austin wedding from out of state, and so beyond glad we did. I planned my wedding with her for over 18 months. I'm a very "type A bride" who loves to try new things and she executed everything at our wedding with excellence and answered my thousands of emails over the course of almost 2 years, which was absolutely amazing. We planned a larger wedding ~200 guests, mostly out of town guests, at Addison Grove and knew nothing about planning a wedding nor planning a wedding in Austin. We learned so much from Jen! And it was such a fun process to work with her!

Our wedding had all the "things" - Photographer, Videographer, Content Creator, String Band, DJ, Catering, Bar, Photobooth, Desserts, Florist, Beer Donkey's, Fireworks, Getaway Cars, Charter Buses, Full Glam team, Rentals, And more-and Jen managed each and every vendor with excellence, taking us along for the journey throughout the whole process. I really don't know how she does it all on top of having younger kids but she is really the best in the business. Jen is one of those planners who always will support your goals and dreams you desire for your wedding, while maintaining what's realistic and execution-able. She tells you the "really really" and makes sure you make smart and educated decisions for your wedding day. Jen not only was able to deal with my "type A bride" many asks, but also balanced our demanding parents asks in parallel and made sure we as the couple's voice was represented. She was always on top of her email and communication clarity, speed, and actionability was superb.

Her wedding network within Austin is also outstanding-far better than most planners. She's highly connected with all the vendors and her years of wedding planning experience show in her work-and she will make sure your day is perfect with the perfect vendors for your specific needs. Every single vendor we worked with, as recommended by her, was incredible.

She also was always open to trying new things and new ideas for the wedding that were different than the average wedding and was willing to be creative and flexible with the vendors to make our dreams happen! And trust me we had a lot of out of the box ideas we learned from social media that stretched vendors to think differently! Above all else she was a joy to work with! She's a wonderful person, has a good sense of humor, and is so kind and caring. I felt like she was such a good friend by the end of the process. I'm going to miss working with her, and hope you hire her so you can enjoy this wedding process as much as I did. Thank you Jen for everything you did for us! Our wedding was the most wonderful day of our lives, with everything we could have ever dreamed of!! The wedding was executed flawlessly and we had the time of our lives. We will never forget all you did for us!! And will miss you so much!! Highly highly recommend Jen for your wedding planning needs, our INCREDIBLE wedding day would not have been possible without her She's the best in the business!

"Seriously hire Jen!"

We booked Jennifer as our Day of/month of coordinator and she was amazing!! I cannot recommend her enough for all your wedding planning and/or coordination needs. In hindsight we probably should have done full service because our wedding day went off without a hitch! Everything was handled professionally and efficiently! As part of her coordination services she allowed us to email her questions all year and she reviewed contracts for guidance and that was invaluable. Her wedding portal checklists also helped me stay organized throughout the year I was wedding planning. Seriously hire Jen! She is THE BEST. You won't regret it.

"Choosing Jen Ashford and Altar Ego Weddings was the best decision we made when planning our Wedding."

We did the full start to finish plan with Jen and it was everything I needed and more. We had a better wedding than I ever could have dreamed of. We knew we needed a wedding planner because I have terrible anxiety over making decisions but Jen made it so easy for us. She took the time to learn about my husband and myself so that she could personalize every aspect of our wedding and understand our goals for our day. Every recommendation for vendors Jen gave us was excellent. I felt like I could trust her completely to steer us in the right direction and ensure we had our perfect day. I remember when we started wedding planning, people would keep asking if I was stressed, and I would say no not yet. Then the wedding got closer and people would ask if I was stressed and I still wasn't. Then it was the week of the wedding and everyone was asking if I was stressed and I still did not feel like big stress everyone always talks about leading up to your wedding and I know it was because we had Jen. We were able to focus on each other and spend time with our families on our wedding day and that is the greatest gift a wedding planner can ever give you. I felt so present in the moment because Jen was in the background taking care of everything and I knew she was capable of handling anything that came up. I would absolutely recommend Jen and Altar Ego weddings to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you Jen!

"We couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out."

We worked with Jen to plan our wedding in September 2022, and picking her as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. We purchased a "guide" package, and I think we certainly got our money's worth of help from her (and then some). I can't comment on how Jen compares to other wedding planners in Austin (since I only plan on getting married once!). But I can comment on how phenomenal it was to work with Jen, and how I have a hard time thinking someone else could do it better than her. She wonderfully blends a joyful, friendly personality with diligence and professionalism.

Her experience in wedding planning made the biggest difference on our actual wedding day. For her and her team, managing a wedding is just another day - and that's important! Because you don't want your wedding planner to be stressed at all, because then you'll be stressed. And with Jen, she and her team have the experience and confidence to seamlessly manage your wedding day, so you don't end up worrying about a thing. And at the end of the day, that's why you get a wedding planner - so that you don't have to sweat the details, and can instead focus on your special day with your spouse, together. That's what we got with Jen, and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out.

"Simply fantastic."

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is well-organized, an excellent communicator, and truly cares about making your special day everything you dream of and more, then look no further than Altar Ego. We recently had the pleasure of working with Jen for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very first consultation, Jen took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for our big day.
She was attentive, responsive, and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Throughout the planning process, she was extremely organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that no stone was left unturned and that everything was running smoothly. What really stood out to us, however, was Jen's communication skills. She was always clear and concise in her instructions and kept us up-to-date on every aspect of the planning process. She also took the time to listen to our ideas and concerns and provided valuable feedback and advice, making us feel confident and at ease every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. Jen and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran like clockwork, leaving us free to enjoy the day with our loved ones. The attention to detail was impeccable, and every little touch was just as we had imagined it. We got such incredible feedback from our guests about just how seamless the entire weekend felt. In short, Jen is an exceptional wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you are looking for someone who is organized, communicative, and passionate about making your wedding day the best it can be, then we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Jen, for making our wedding day the happiest day of our lives!

"I would 100% recommend using her to plan your event."

Jennifer helped me plan my wedding that just happened in April and my husband and I were blown away with the sheer amount of work she took off our plate. I had so many todo's that I was stressing about before we hired Jennifer and she immediately took all of them off my plate and I didn't even have to think about them except to verify I liked whatever decisions she made. The wedding day was absolutely magical and was exactly the image I had portrayed to her with my inspo pics. She helped us have a totally care free day and was constantly checking in with us to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and were not involved in any of the usual stress of the wedding day. Overall, she did a fabulous job and I would 100% recommend using her to plan your event. She handled everything including the smallest details with great care and attention to what we wanted. Thanks so much Jennifer you absolutely killed it and gave us an amazing dream wedding day!

"Jennifer saved the day!"

Jennifer was a huge help, and was always ready to be real and up front with the implications of any wild ideas Thad. When I struggled to articulate what I wanted, she knew all the right questions to ask to get me there, and when a random emergency struck on wedding day, she went above and beyond to handle the problem without stressing me out.

"Jen made our day absolutely flawless!"

I am so thankful we chose to work with Jen and Altar Ego Weddings! Jen made our day absolutely flawless! She was organized and on top of everything! As an overly anxious person in general, I literally was not worried about one detail day of. I knew Jen would take care of everything. She was so sweet and kind and I could not have asked for my wedding day to go any better! Whether you need all the help or just the final day of details, Altar Ego Weddings is a must have on your special day.

"I can't speak highly enough of working with Jennifer Ashford and Altar Ego Weddings!"

I can't imagine how I would have planned our wedding without Jen! She was thorough, organized, responsive and patient with my endless questions. The portal she provided us with for managing our budget, contracts, checklists, and vendor recommendations made navigating the planning process so much easier. And once we got within a month of the big day, she took over handling final details with vendors, creating a timeline for the day, and taking so much of the last minute stress off of our shoulders (even as we were all dealing with covid!). Jen's attention to detail allowed my husband and I to be fully present and in the moment throughout our wedding day, and made it one we won't ever forget. Even our family and friends commented that Jen delivered a seamless experience! I can't speak highly enough of working with Jennifer Ashford and Altar Ego Weddings!

"Thank you Jennifer for everything - we could not have done it without you!"

If you want to be stress-free on your wedding day - or throughout the entire experience then Jennifer is absolutely your girl! She and I went through some... difficulties with our original vendor team, and before I even had a chance to stress she was presenting me with backup options, reaching out on behalf of my event and ensuring we had the best vendor team possible at every moment. Her planning website is full of incredible resources for you to manage all the moving pieces of planning a wedding, and she is extremely responsive for any questions or concerns at any time! I was able to be completely stress & (mostly) decision free all week leading up to my wedding, because I knew that Jennifer and the team had everything under control. If you are looking for someone to be honest, on top of it and ensure your event goes off exactly as planned - please consider Altar Ego Weddings and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Jennifer for everything - we could not have done it without you!

"It's no surprise Altar Ego Weddings is the best!"

Jennifer really went above and beyond planning my wedding. She handled every detail and made sure wedding day went without a snag! I told her my vision for my wedding and she she made it all happen; the colors, the vendors, the vibe! All I had to do was say "yes or no," "this one not that one." She made it so easy for me! I literally could not have asked for a better wedding-planning experience; I owe so much of my gratitude to Jennifer and the vendors she helped me select! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have the wedding of their dreams!!! Thanks again Jen!!!

"Your wedding planner/coordinator search stops here!"

It is hard to put into words how important it is to choose the correct wedding planner/coordinator. The minute we got off the phone with Jen, we knew she was our type of person. Jen communicates clearly, is heavily organized/detailed, and honors FUN. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having the resources she provides and the open line of communication made my entire process run so smoothly. At the end of the day, your wedding is going to be the biggest party you ever throw and it is 100% worth the investment in Jen to help you take some of the load off and ENJOY the process.
