Ashley Stanfill

Lead Event Planner & Designer

Experiential Production | Luxury Hospitality

I plan, design, and execute corporate and private events from concept through onsite production, combining logistics, creative direction, vendor coordination, space transformation, and high-touch guest experience.

Planning + design + production

The creative vision only works if the event can actually be executed.

I lead events from the first concept through the final onsite decisions. That means developing the look and guest experience while also managing the practical work behind it: timelines, vendors, catering, décor, installations, RSVP support, room readiness, setup, and real-time problem solving.

My background in luxury hospitality shapes the standard. Guests should experience a polished event. The host should experience a planning process with clear ownership, thoughtful communication, and someone prepared to solve problems before they become visible.

Selected event experience

Two very different events. The same requirement: make the details work together.

Private event planning, design & production

Fairytale-Inspired Baby Shower

Planned and produced an immersive princess and fairytale experience including floral and scenic installations, draping, signage, custom props, gift presentation, catering coordination, setup, and onsite management.

How I work

Design the experience. Build the plan. Own the execution.

01

Concept

Define the purpose, audience, visual direction, guest experience, and priorities before sourcing begins.

02

Source

Research venues, catering, rentals, décor, specialty items, and vendors, then compare practical options.

03

Produce

Coordinate timelines, responsibilities, installations, guest communications, setup, and event readiness.

04

Execute

Stay hands-on onsite, troubleshoot in real time, protect presentation standards, and manage the guest experience.

Luxury hospitality foundation

The service standard came before the event company.

My hospitality background includes The Breakers Palm Beach, Marriott Singer Island, and Admirals Cove in Jupiter. Those environments reinforced the importance of readiness, discretion, service recovery, presentation, relationship building, and making the guest experience feel effortless even when significant coordination is happening behind the scenes.
