Spouse?:
Yes. Only one though! Lol. His name is Anthony, or Tony as everyone calls him. He's amazing. He's my rock and I do not know what I would do without him! You can say all you want that this business is easy, fun, etc. But it is stressful, it is time consuming, and it does take you away from your family quite a bit! He's there to absorb that and be such a GREAT Daddy that our daughter doesn't even realize when I have been gone all day. He's the logistics behind the business. When I can't figure something out, or I just want to hand it off he's the one who gets to figure it out. He doesn't hear it often enough but he's an amazing business partner, father and husband! :)

Children?:
Yep! Summer Lyn. She's the light of my life! It's so amazing to watch her grow! She has a wonderful personality and she makes my heart melt! I love her to pieces! She loves Dora the Explorer, Wow Wow Wubzy, Oobie, her baby dolls, playing with her Daddy, cleaning floors (lol!), and playing catch with her dog. She's such a fun child but she's 2 going on 13. She found my razor the other day and tried to shave her legs! Oh no... we're in trouble! :)

Pets?:
I seem to be giving these away in the questions above! Yes we do have a dog, Brady - he's a Yorkie. He's spoiled. Very spoiled.

How did you get started planning weddings & events?
My story is unlike most... I didn't plan my own wedding and think, "Wow, that was fun! Let's do that one again!" I actually just had this idea pop into my head that I wanted to start a business and I wanted to plan weddings. I was 18. I think back now and although it wasn't THAT long ago, I was still so young. It was definitely not something I chose or fell into, it chose me! I have such a great passion for creating things, I love talking with people and I LOVE LOVE LOVE fashion, trends and weddings!

What is the best advice you have received/best lesson learned?
Well I think the best advice I have received, I received a few days ago, Mind your own "business". Meaning, do not worry about what the others are doing, do what you do and do it well! The best lesson I have learned is humility and forgiveness. My husbands parents are Amish. I have learned the value of having all of this "stuff". We take what we have for granted and when you look at people like the Amish who choose to not have materialistic things it makes you almost feel guilty for buying the things that are unnecessary. I think it has helped me to not feel like I need anything. I have also learned that you need to forgive and move on, in any situation in life. It doesn't matter the circumstances, forgive the person that upset you. You are only holding onto feelings that are hurting you! FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE!!
What's your favorite thing in your Emergency Kit?
Double sided sticky tape, safety pins and sewing kit!

Favorite thing about events?
Weddings, I love the moment when they kiss and it's sealed. It's so final and surreal for me. Equally, I love when they walk into their reception and see how it looks with all of their guests and then the bride looks at me with the look of thanks in her eyes. It's like winning an Oscar or something! Corporate, I love at the end of the event when you get a hand shake and job well done by a CEO or owner of the company. It's very direct and non emotional like a wedding. They really are two different scenarios! The job is stressful, but it has so many rewards!

What do you think makes Ashley Troyer Events stand out?
We're not just a planner although we can just plan - we're event artists! We love to create and we love to create something just for our clients. There is no cookie cutter event. You will not find the same lounge scenery at every one of our events, the same centerpiece or decor item will not appear in our pictures. We love uniqueness! We are also so very budget conscious! We TRY to save you money. It's not about the glitz and glamour for us, it's about how we can make your day the day you have dreamt up and stay within your budget perimeters!

Who's your favorite person in history?
It's a toss up... Jaqueline Kennedy Onasis or Marilyn Monroe. Jackie was such a fashion icon. Women looked up to her for inspiration, she was very stylish and chic. Marilyn was such a drama filled creation that intrigues me. She did it her way and really didn't care what people had to say. She was so comfortable in her skin and I LOVE that about confident women!
