Ashley Neil
Planning your special day can quickly become overwhelming – we can help. More than 65 couples choose to tie the knot at The Gardens each year. As a result, we have a lot of experience helping couples customize their ceremony and reception experience; but beyond that, we also partner with each couple to help them navigate how to create the most perfect wedding experience. That’s where our Ashley shines.
A La Porte native, Ashley’s love of wedding and event coordination began at the age of 10 when her father returned home from a business trip with a wedding magazine. Ashley recalls pouring over that magazine from cover to cover countless times and cites it as the origin of her passion for creating amazing wedding experiences.
Since 2014, Ashley has dedicated her professional life to shaping memorable and compelling experiences through events; the majority of which have been weddings. She holds a degree in Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management from Indiana University.
Beyond helping to shape your perfect day, Ashley will also match you up with highly regarded wedding professionals, from catering to entertainment and everything in between, throughout the Chicagoland area who augment our incredible venues to make your special day even more memorable.
When she’s not fulfilling her dream job, Ashley loves exploring Northwest Indiana in search of novel restaurants and craft breweries that serve as inspiration for creations in her own kitchen, typically while jamming out to music from artists like Fleetwood Mac and Eminem.
We’re sure you have questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out. We can’t wait to help you make your special day magical for you and all of your guests!
