In 2012, Ashley's passion for people and events led her to establish A & K Party Pals, which has now evolved into the powerhouse known as Mise en Scène Events (pronounced "mez änsen," because even the pronunciation has a touch of elegance). As a full-service event planning, design, and production company, Mise en Scène Events has left an indelible mark on the industry for over a decade.

When it comes to the events game, Ashley and her team don't play around. Balloons, fabrications, custom décor, rentals, florals, stationery—you name it, they've got it covered. Weddings, corporate functions, galas, upscale private parties, you dream it, they make it happen. Their designs are innovative, their ideas are out-of-the-box, and their execution is flawless. They leave no stone unturned, ensuring that every client's vision becomes a stunning reality.

But let's not forget about the challenges Ashley has conquered along the way. The road hasn't been easy, as she faced the heartbreaking loss of both her parents during the early stages of building her company. Yet, with unwavering determination and a spirit of resilience, she continued to thrive. As a full-time caregiver, she managed to run her business while being there for her family, proving that she's a force to be reckoned with both personally and professionally.
