Reviews of Ad Astra Events

After witnessing the kinds of special events Maggie and her team put together, booking her as my planner was a no-brainer. We got engaged in Ireland on July 12, 2021 and I booked her when I landed back in Nashville a week after. There was one catch to my wedding that I told Maggie upfront - it was going to be in New York City. I thought it would be a challenge for her and that, maybe, she would hand the wedding off to a New York planner - but she rose to the occasion and exceeded all expectations. Not only did she plan a New York City wedding from Nashville, she flew up to NYC and NJ with my husband and I to tour venues. She went above and beyond. She creates custom plans depending on the couple and their needs - I knew from the moment I got engaged that I would need someone to hold my hand through the whole process, and that is what she did. I chose the plan that had lots of meetings, and Maggie also designed my graphics and invitations! Any anxiety I felt during about 15 months of planning would just dissolve after just speaking to Maggie. It seriously felt like weight came off my shoulders after every meeting. Anything that was stressing me out or anything I wanted to change that I thought would be huge was no big deal to her. Her cool, calm, collected, kind yet determined demeanor made me feel like everything was going to be just fine. And it was more than just fine - it was brilliant. Annsley took over the month of my wedding and, just like Maggie, relieved all of my stress. I clearly remember my family and other guests going up to Maggie, Annsley, and Jess telling them how great the wedding turned out - they couldn't believe Ad Astra wasn't a NY/NJ-based company! Long story short, I would book Ad Astra Events for any special event again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend them enough. They are well-loved by vendors, guests, and their couples for a reason. Not only did they plan this amazing three-day event in the New York City area, they helped me keep my sanity in the process. We are forever grateful.

Maggie and her team are INCREDIBLE! I was part of the creative team for Drury/Gross wedding and Maggie was such a delight to work with. She is flexible, professional, communicates in a timely manner and is a master of logistics. She made my team feel comfortable and empowered us to do our job with excellence. I’ve been a wedding photographer for a decade and planners like her are rare. This is your sign to book her now.

We highly recommend Maggie and Ad Astra to anyone planning a wedding! We hired Maggie about 15 months before our date. Since we were planning from out of town, we relied heavily on Maggie's vendor recommendations and they did not disappoint! Throughout the entire process, Maggie was so professional, organized and on the ball. When our wedding day came, I knew we were in great hands and could truly focus on enjoying the day. Our wedding day was perfect and we received so many compliments about how smoothly the whole event ran. Do yourself a favor and hire Maggie - it's so worth it!

Claudia Rucker

Hiring Maggie was the best decision we made. I was actually able to enjoy my daughter’s wedding and reception since Maggie had everything under control. She thought ahead and was extremely proactive. She made the night perfect and we will always be grateful. Do yourself a favor…and hire her!

If you are looking for a wedding planner - these are your people! Kathryn-Rose was so helpful, attentive, calming, and on top of it! From the second I met with her, I knew I was in good hands. She eased my mind and answered all my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. On the day of - she was there for me every step of the way and fixed every issue that came up immediately. I can't recommend Ad Astra enough!

Betty Bader

Maggie Burns did an excellent job keeping us on task and on budget. She is a wonderful wedding coordinator, she did a masterful job for the wedding January 5, 2019, call her today!

Sarah Legan

Maggie is wonderful! She does everything we hope for in a planner and thinks of EVERYTHING! Thanks Maggie!

Karen Witte

A bit shout out to Maggie at Ad Astra Events who did a superb job as my "day of" wedding planner for my daughter, Kathleen's wedding on February 29, 2020 at The Cannery. The services she provided were well worth the very competitive pricing. We met twice "in person" before the wedding, and communicated via email and text. Maggie was quick to answer my questions. She also secured vendors that I was unable to find prior to hiring Ad Astra. Maggie took care of everything- and I mean everything- on the day of the wedding. I relaxed and enjoyed the wedding. I highly recommend Ad Astra!

Jacqueline Encalade

Maggie was awesome!!! We used Maggie and company a year ago for the smallish wedding that had to be rearranged 2 weeks before the wedding due to Covid and again this year for the actual reception. This year Maggie worked magic again due to Covid moving reception from inside to outside the week of the reception. On the day she had to deal with rain twice during setup with last minute drying table linens at a laundromat. Maggie is a 5 star wedding planner!!!

Clayton Thornton

Maggie and the Ad Astra team are extremely talented and highly organized. Their efforts made our wedding day run so smoothly and everyone commented about how professional and efficient she was.

I found Maggie as my Wedding Coordinator in desperate need, days before the big day. I had hoped to have a family friend take on this role, but unfortunately due to a natural disaster in her area, she could not even make it to Nashville. Through a friend of a friend, I filled out Maggie’s google form of information on a Tuesday, spoke to her on the phone on Wednesday, and that day I confirmed that she would be available and willing to coordinate a rehearsal on Friday and a full wedding on Saturday. To me, it was an absolute miracle to not only have someone as professional and experienced as Maggie coordinate on such short notice, but I also found someone who really cares about the details and is passionate about seeing such a special (and often chaotic) day go smoothly. It was my only real expectation as a bride (to have a great coordinator direct the day), and I was not disappointed at all. My whole family became huge fans of Maggie—her ability to direct large crowds, remind you what’s not your job to do, keep any tensions away from the couple’s notice, to be prepared and stay flexible for the unexpected, to remain kind under pressure and thoughtful of what the couple’s needs and wants are—these barely scratch the surface for what Maggie did for us. She brought such an organized approach to an event that my fiancé and I were anticipating and planning for nine months. I honestly believe it would not have been such a wonderful time without the work that Maggie offered. She was personal from the start, and I am truly grateful for her partnership in seeing our wedding be something so memorable for the two of us and all our friends and family.

I recently worked with Ad Astra Events at a wedding and they were incredible. Maggie was not only kind but also detailed oriented, efficient, and showed true passion for what she does. They go above and beyond for their clients! I would highly recommend them!

Caleb

Maggie was a phenomenal wedding coordinator and could not have done more to make sure our wedding went according to plan. Her Ad Astra associates were also super. We got compliments for her from many guests and family members for her professionalism, courtesy, and genial attitude. We truly appreciate your work.

Mackenzie Clear

Maggie with Ad Astra Events was the perfect fit for my wedding. She listened to me as the bride and gave me what I wanted in my wedding. She also followed my budget as close as possible which was the biggest concern I had. Her character, her business, and her creativity made my wedding experience the best one yet! Thank you Maggie and Ad Astra Team for making life 10 times easier during that stressful time and giving me the most perfect wedding I could imagine!

Evan Wescott

I was a groom getting married in Nashville in fall of 2019. My now-wife and I had moved within the past year, and were largely unused to the terrain. We are both busy between school and professional careers, and my wife was insistent that we needed an extra hand in planning a wedding (which, for the first 2 months, we flew solo on for planning). I want to be absolutely clear about two things before I continue: (1) I believed wedding planning was a scam designed to rip off stressed out couples and (2) I never write reviews. After working together with Maggie, I disavow both of the above. Maggie was brilliant. I've crunched the numbers, and the amount of money invested in Maggie offset the cost of a host of expensive and bad decisions we might have made without her. Her command of local options and her creativity in providing a tasteful, ideal wedding for my wife and I cannot be understated. As the man with an eye on the budget, Maggie might've been more frugal than me. Maggie was extremely flexible. One day, I called and asked if she was comfortable meeting at a different location, 20 minutes before the meeting. She beat my wife there, and we got done early. Maggie was more than helpful; she thought of problems we didn't think could exist for a wedding. Always three steps of me or my wife at every meeting, she made sure every detail was accounted for in each discussion. Everything was thoroughly noted and accounted for after each meeting; it was no mystery what needed to be done, and she helped my stressed-out wife feel as if everything was taken care of. Lastly, and most important, is that Maggie understands the nature and value of a wedding for her clients. At our reception, she noticed a homeless man looking for food. Not only did she address him with poise, but offered him some of our wedding food before making sure everything was ok, which is exactly what my wife or I would have done in that scenario without second thought. She knew that, for us, the wedding wasn't just a party. It was a chance for generosity and the true nature of love to win out. Maggie totally owned that vision, and her commitment to the proper celebration of a wedding really came through. Her character and expertise didn't just help make the wedding possible; she helped me and my wife, and all of our guests, understand what that day was supposed to be about.

We hired Ad Astra’s Maggie Burns for day-of coordination and 2 months of planning assistance for our wedding. She was one of our very first and very best wedding decisions (aside from our caterer’s late-night chicken and waffle sliders). If you are someone who finds the thousands of choices in vendors and event logistics even slightly daunting, I highly recommend partial planning assistance. Maggie curated lists of vendors that met our needs and price points and then we made the final call about who was the right fit for us. She answered questions about logistics, negotiated prices and kept us organized. In addition, Maggie gracefully navigated a global pandemic with us. For the eight months leading up to our October wedding, I was working long hours on the COVID-19 response. Maggie kept us up to date on event restrictions and considerations as we rethought and re-planned nearly the whole wedding to keep it as safe as possible for us and our guests. Then, the day before the wedding, our photographer learned they needed to be in quarantine and we’d need a replacement. Before I even knew about it, Maggie had already found a photographer to step in and was bringing them up to speed. Maggie rolls with the punches, is professional and personable and was such a blessing to have around during our wedding planning and day. I highly recommend her and her team.

Melissa Deaderick

There aren’t enough thanks you’s for everything Maggie did for us. We appreciate Ad Astra and Maggie so much and everything they did to help make our day so smooth and effortless. Amy and I will always be grateful for her and we could not imagine not having her as a part of our wedding day. Maggie helped make everything run so perfectly!

Songbird House

Maggie at Ad Astra was excellent to help me plan my wedding in Jan 2019. My mother insisted on booking a wedding planner, which I really felt was unnecessary at first, but Maggie went above and beyond to make me and my family feel comfortable and in the end, mom was right (grrr, aren't they always) and having her was really great and helpful. The wedding went off without a hitch (or, if anything went wrong you would never even notice we had so much fun) and I had a great time sharing in the planning with Maggie in the weeks leading up to the big day. She was incredibly responsive, which is huge when you are trying to squeeze wedding planning into a 5 month timeline like I did. And she appreciated that I wanted to be a scrappy, cheap bride but still make everything look great. It looked like a zillion dollar wedding but on a much smaller budget. I would highly recommend her!! Jill

If you were a brilliant mad scientist that could somehow combine Cinderella's fairy godmothers, a fearless charging elephant, and James Bond into a single entity, I'm pretty sure your creation would end up an awful lot like Maggie Burns. Maggie has been a phenomenal help over the last year during a time of chaos and turmoil getting everything in place for an enchanting, beautiful wedding. She's worth every penny and more - the return on investment in our relationship was HUGE!. She essentially helped us plan two weddings when we had to change everything due to COVID. She helped us make smart decisions every step of the way. And the peace of mind and cool confidence she always brough to the table was an indesribable blessing to myself and my new wife, who otherwise would have been a tense ball of anxiety and stress for 8 months straight. Thank you Maggie!

Lauren Gill

It is always refreshing to see someone who is passionate about what they do, especially when it involves your big day! The first time Wes and I met Maggie we felt like we had known her forever. She is bubbly, warm, energetic yet also so very organized and resourceful. She was able to pin down exactly what we wanted for our big day and gave us useful advice and organizational techniques to help us stay on track for our 8 month engagement. We absolutely LOVED getting to know Maggie and her "Wedding Prep" google template was a lifesaver during our entire wedding planning process... from guest lists, budgets, and all of the knitty gritty details that can get lost so easily. Highly highly recommend!!!

Kelly Bradway

Maggie worked with us during a quick 3 month engagement! She helped us stay on task and dig in to an organized check-list of to-dos! She's very kind, warm and helpful. It felt great to have her on our team!

I have worked various events in the past, and naturally, I want to know all the details all the time and have a hand in every decision. But I can tell you that hiring Ad Astra was the smartest thing I could have done for my wedding day. Having the Ad Astra team there on the big day allowed me to actually breathe without worrying and letting me control issues get in the way. Maggie was great in the months leading up to the wedding - making sure she truly understood what I envisioned for the big day, asking thorough questions to make sure we thought of everything, and providing options for the things we weren’t sure about. On day of, she and her assistant Ansley were phenomenal. In the times I asked questions to make sure something was taken care of, they quickly reminded me it was their job, not mine, and were already five steps ahead of me. I was truly able to focus on my day and enjoy the time with my friends, family, and new husband!

Danielle Brown

When my family and friends involved with my wedding started gushing to me about how happy they were that Maggie was coordinating my event and that she was knocking it out of the park, I was so thankful that she had agreed to be a part of my big day. I don't know that I'll ever know how crazy my wedding day was, and that's how it should be. The level of professionalism with which Ad Astra Events managed the minor and major details of day of coordination for my wedding was outstanding. I will forever preach to any bride who says they don't need a coordinator, even just for the day. They are wrong, and they need to call Ad Astra! Maggie helped make the memory of my wedding day the most amazing it could be. Thank you, from the bottom of my bridezilla heart!

Hunter Morgan

Maggie is amazing to work with! As wedding videographers we love working with Ad Astra Events. She has an amazing attention to detail and their weddings are all beautifully designed! I highly recommend Ad Astra Events!

Chase Decraene

Maggie is a fantastic addition to the wedding planning process! Her attention-to-detail and communication is top-notch.The wedding goes smoothly and allows the newlyweds a stress-free night that they'll never forget! Highly recommend!

Joanne Lee

Ad Astra Events was a complete lifesaver for our wedding! We worked with Kathryn-Rose Weber who was an absolute delight to work with! She was extremely professional and helped me keep up with details that I didn't even know I needed to think about! She helped keep me sane by taking on a lot of the vendor communication needed before the wedding and on the day of was absolutely amazing helping decorate and keep everyone on time. She even helped flip the ceremony space when our rentals vendor didn't send someone on time to help with that without even giving us a hint of anything going wrong! Overall, would highly recommend! I don't know what I would have done without them.

Karissa Mueller

Here's the deal. If you're getting married, you have to have a wedding planner or at least a day of coordinator. And if you're going to have one, it needs to be Maggie. For all I know, the sky might have fallen on my wedding day, but if it did, I never knew about it. The memories I have of my wedding day are hanging out with my bridesmaids in the morning getting ready, and opening the letter my groom wrote to me that morning. I remember my first look with my groom and with my dad, our first dance, the wonderful things people said in their toasts. Because Maggie is so good at her job, I got to be fully present during my wedding day--and that's what you want to remember in the end.

Sierra White

Maggie was so Amazing. From start to finish I had absolutely no worries. Everything was more than I ever imagined, simply perfect. Even when I had a day of cancellation of the officiant she was ready to go. I can’t thank her enough on how perfect my day was. I totally recommend her she knows exactly what she is doing.

Mary Sue Moloughney

Maggie did an excellent job on my daughter's wedding, every detail was perfect and she was professional, flexible and personable. Highly recommend!

Annsley from Ad Astra Events coordinated a wedding at Sycamore Farms last month and the event went so smoothly. Annsley was communicative and detail oriented. She was also flexible with many last minute changes. We recommend Ad Astra Events to any bride!
