I ordered two custom teacher clipboards for back to school gifts for my kid’s teachers and was completely blown away by how cute they turned out. Ashley pays attention to every single detail and is so creative! We received thank you notes from both teachers immediately after they got them saying how much they loved them and how thoughtful of a gift it was! One teacher said her peers were all jealous of her new custom clipboard. Thank you Ashley for making back to school gifts a breeze and something the teachers loved! - Amanda

I am a PMP certified project manager by profession, and loved how Ashley used that philosophy to manage my event! She was very organized throughout the initiation, planning, and execution of my event. She offered options throughout and handled all negotiations with vendors, getting me the best price for goods and services. All I had to do is make decisions, and Ashley took it from there! I am still receiving phrases from my guest on how elegant and enjoyable the event was. I am using Ashley again for another event this summer, and looking forward to it! - Marcie

From start to finish, Ashley was incredibly communicative, ensuring every detail was perfect. She delivered everything in a timely fashion, which made the process so stress-free.

I had a fantastic experience working with Butterfly Carmell Productions to print my save-the-date envelopes! Our guests absolutely loved them and couldn’t stop complimenting the beautiful font on the envelopes, which was expertly chosen by Ashley, the owner. Her attention to detail and design sense truly elevated the overall look. If you’re looking for a company that combines professionalism, creativity, and efficiency, I highly recommend them. They exceeded my expectations and made this part of wedding planning so enjoyable! - Nia

The decisions they made regarding the special event beginning with the decorations were amazing!!

Working with Ashley was such a great experience. I learned so much from her, I too am an event planner. Ashley was so organized, creative in how she decorated and I loved how she displayed pictures throughout the event space. Ashley had a a timeline set to complete the decorations and setup, of course she was right on target. Ashley was very professional and has a fun spirit. It was a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to my friends. - Jen
