fabulous
You found your person, now you’re ready to throw everyone’s favorite wedding of the year
Your inbox is already a dumpster fire of vendor inquiries awaiting responses, your mom won't stop adding people you've never met to your already full guest list, Aunt Linda knows someone who knows someone who can “decorate”, and if your big sister (aka, Elle Woods) says, “what..like its hard?" one more time…
If you feel like this is a full time job – you are correct, we made it ours. You've never planned the largest and most expensive party you'll ever throw before, so "Get in, girl. We're going planning."
Ew, David...
let's do it ▸
You can have your cake (red velvet, of course) and eat it too
Whether you're working with a champagne vision on a beer budget or handing over your Amex with a “Please just make it happen because I literally can’t”—we’ve got you.
We don’t do cookie-cutter, and we definitely don’t do boring. What we do is take wedding planning from overwhelming to effortless, with a mix of strategy, creativity, and just the right amount of champagne-popping moments.
Not to be dramatic, but we actually change lives—bringing your vision to life in a way that feels authentic, elevated, and totally you. Whether you need just a taste or the whole damn cake, we’re here to make it happen.

“ I was able to simply give Ashlyn my vision for the wedding and she made it come alive — even better than I imagined”
Ashlyn truly is the most fantastic wedding planner. She is so personable and detail oriented. I cannot thank her enough for taking all the stress and worry away from me on my big day. She made sure that everything was perfect, while I just enjoyed it all. She went above and beyond with every aspect!!

“Hiring someone to be the director of our wedding day was the best money spent.”
Ashlyn was ready for any new idea or unique aspect I wanted to try for my wedding day. Nothing phased her. She was the calm and kind presence I needed and never hesitated to give me sound advice and confidence throughout my planning process. Wedding week/day threw us plenty of curveballs but she handled each one. 😊

“Before understanding what was all involved in a wedding day, I was worried that it was just an extra cost & [now] I truly believe this was the best dollar spent. ”
I knew after our first conversation, that I had to work with Ashlyn & I’m forever grateful that I trusted my gut. Our wedding day was seamless & incredibly stress free because of this team. Not only were they professional & covered every single detail but they were radiating with joy for us and celebrating WITH us. Ashlyn truly cares for you & your family and want you to enjoy your day to the fullest. So thankful for this team & all they did for us!

“I didn’t have one worry or stressor on our day solely because Ashlyn and her team were the MOST amazing, professional, organized, and overall elite wedding planning company!”
The planning process was super organized and Ashlyn met with me often to answer any questions we had. She set up our whole dining room even better than I could’ve imagined...We didn’t have to worry about a thing. We also used the floral package through Red Velvet and we were incredibly happy with what they designed for us! I 1000% recommend Red Velvet for your next event, a true gem and amazing at what she does!

“She took so much stress off of myself and my family so we didn’t have to lift a finger on the day of, and her decorating skills are 10/10.”
Ashlyn was recommended to me a few weeks before our wedding and I’m SO happy I didn’t try to do it all myself! My venue was not being considerate towards my wishes but Ashlyn fought for me to get the wedding I always dreamed of!! Can’t recommend her enough.

“THE BEST OF THE BEST! Ash is absolutely incredible.”
She is intentional and detail oriented. The perfect balance of professional and fun! Our wedding went so super smoothly even with us being an international couple and a rushed wedding (only 5 months to plan). Any bumps or issues that happened behind the scenes Ash handled without even having to bring them to my attention during the day. I couldn’t recommend Red Velvet Collective more! Not only did my husband and I love working with Ash, but so did all of our vendors!

Partial wedding planning

Do you ever just wish you could share your to-do list? We can make that happen!

It's a client-favorite for good reason. We do this thing together from start to finish and you can tell your fiance YOU ARE WELCOME because you get date night back instead of spending the next 25-52 weeks making hundreds of phone calls, running around town, and trying to keep up with your busy lives and all the legwork that goes in to planning a wedding day your family and friends will be talking about for years to come.

Yes! but I'm still unsure What a partial Wedding planner does...
Think our wedding planners are your vibe?
We plan your wedding WITH you! Partial wedding planning is the perfect middle ground between day-of and our full wedding planning packages. It includes everything in our day-of package, plus extra meetings like floral consults, food/cake tastings, and rental walk throughs.
But the real reason why couples love it is that it has a lot of the help our full planning package has. Together, we split up vendor inquires, create your designs and details, plan the perfect wedding timeline, and work through the rest of your to-dos.
Something future you will thank you for later!
Once you hire us, we get to work right away and we'll work together through your entire planning process. We are always a text or call away.
We review your custom planning guide together and split the to dos between us. If that still sounds overwhelming, don't stop your scroll and check out our full planning aka “show up and do nothing” treatment.
“If you are looking for a planner that will take away the stress of wedding planning and someone who makes sure you enjoy your special day, be sure to reach out to Red Velvet!”

a Jacksonville wedding Planner who does...
Full Wedding Planning for the bold and busy
You've all been asked to do the impossible — to be successful at work, do something resembling "self care," have a social life, and...plan a perfect wedding while still doing all the other stuff!
Frankly, it's ridiculous. You have too much on your plate to be a full time wedding planner too. Thankfully, that's where we come in! Our Full Wedding Planning Package is for couples who want someone else to do the running around for them. Let us handle all the wedding planning deets, from locking down your dream venue to negotiating contracts with vendors, from coordinating all the aesthetics to fielding all the little things that pop on the big day that would have added stress to your plate. We literally do it all for you!
Full planning experiences are really just sanity-savers. So you can just show up to a wedding planned exactly as you imagined it, look amazing, and actually enjoy yourself. (We love that journey for you!)
Here's the TL;DR of our Full Planning Experience
All leading up to the stress-free wedding day + honeymoon of your dreams. Simply say 'I do' and soak up the memories. We'll handle the rest.

You absolutely deserve to enjoy your engagement and wedding. After all, you only get one shot at this, there are no do overs - so think of our full planning package as your full permission to let it feel easy and actually fun! Wedding planning is a lot, we get it more than most. And you are worth the investment to hire the professional (aka, us) who knows exactly how to make your dream happen. In our humble opinion, it is worth every penny.
Partial planning is a collaborative effort together and full planning is complete management and all inclusive services. If you want a completely stress-free experience, full planning might be best. If you’re already into the planning and just need some expert guidance and help with specific parts, partial planning is a great choice!
There really are...so many that we made it our full time job. Deep breathe, we are here for every to-do that needs to get done. We're part task rabbit, part hand holder, and part volunteer for cake testing tie-breaker (but you already know what flavor we'd pick).
We start...with a call! On that call we'll deep dive into your expectations, visions, desires, top non-negotiables and really get to know you and your love story. We then get to work on giving you all the options and you always have the final say. So although we are initiating, you are still in charge! We can hardly wait to hear from you…
we even help plan...
Elopements + Micro-Weddings
Out-of-Town Couples
Bachelorette Parties & Showers

From engagement to honeymoon, we handle it all.

the next step
Planning for your
01
dream day
The wedding planning process begins by determining your overall budget and securing your important vendors — including your venue. The goal is to understand your budget, aesthetic, and personality preferences to match you with the perfect team of professionals.
the next step
02
Details and design
time
During the design phase, we map out every detail of how your wedding will look. We’ll include each element, from color palettes and floor plans to tablescape decor and linen swatches so you’ll be able to see how your design will come to life.
the next step
03
A wedding day you can
enjoy
In the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, we move to execution mode. We'll finalize all the timeline details before the big day with you and all your vendors. Then we’ll be there on the wedding day to make sure everything goes according to plan, so you can just be in the moment.

the next step
And they lived happily
ever after
After the "I do," it's time to celebrate! But don't think we sneak out the back. At the end of the night, we deliver your personals, help with your marriage license to make it legal, and send you off on your honeymoon waiting to stalk your Instagram pics and plan your next party...
