Ashley russelL
Owner & creative director
Ashley’s love for party planning, details and design was the passion that lead her to launch Ashley Nicole Events in 2008. She quickly became one of the most successful wedding planners in Charleston.
In 2015, Ashley faced a difficult challenge, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Recognizing her need to focus on her health, she made the heart-wrenching decision to part ways with the company she had nurtured for over a decade.. It was a bitter sweet move after producing weddings and events for over 10 years. In 2018, she sold Ashley Nicole Events thinking that was the end of her planning career.
Not being able to remain idle for long, in 2022, she took her expertise to Houston TX, where she joined one of the largest and most successful event companies and quickly became one of their top designers. And she accomplished this all remotely.
During her time designing for the Houston event company, Ashley orchestrated some of the most extravagant luxury events, igniting a spark of passion and determination within her. It was a resounding call to bring her experience and creativity back to her roots.
That’s when BIG CITY SOCIAL was born. From coast to coast, you now have the privilege of experiencing Ashley’s talent, expertise, creativity, and her design knowledge. She has assembled a dream team, a powerhouse of talent and know-how, ready to help her bring each event to life.
