Your Wedding Planner’s Favorite Wedding Planner
If you’ve ever tried to plan a wedding, you know it can quickly turn into a full-time job — and not always the fun kind. Ashley Pate Newkirk of Ash Events learned this firsthand in 2015 when her friend’s wedding planner never showed up on the big day. Ashley stepped in, made it happen, and the rest is history.
Today, Ash Events is a full-service planning company offering comprehensive support for weddings and celebrations in Pawleys Island and beyond. Whether you need full planning from “I do” to the last dance or just an expert to help bring your Pinterest board to life, Ash Events brings experience, creativity, and calm to every step of the process.
Ashley and her team are known for their thoughtful, solutions-focused approach — and for making even the most complex events feel seamless. With years of experience in planning, design, production, and management, they know no two celebrations are alike. Every detail is tailored to reflect each client’s unique values, priorities, and style.
Ash Events is proud to be both Timeline Genius Certified and Equally Wed Certified, and to work with couples from all backgrounds. They proudly celebrate all love and bring that same inclusive, personal approach to every event — whether for a private couple or a public-facing client. Over the years, Ash Events has also had the honor of working with celebrities, influencers, and major brands, all while maintaining the same hands-on care that defines their work.
In addition to weddings, Ash Events offers planning and production for showers, parties, and creative brand experiences. With two sister brands — Pawleys Picnics for styled outdoor gatherings and Inlet Brew Crew for curated bar service — they make events of any size feel intentional and effortlessly executed.
Receiving the 2025 Best of South Carolina Regional Award for event planning is a meaningful nod to the work they do every day: showing up, listening well, and helping people celebrate life’s most important moments — in a way that feels true to them.
