gritty + graceful. calm + cool. unabashedly unique.

Your wedding colors are hot pink and tattoos. You are entering the venue on a horse. Your theme is Game of Thrones. Instead of dancing you are playing board games all night. Yeah, we get you.

Weddings don’t have to be lilies and roses. There is nothing wrong with lilies and roses, we quite like them, but you don’t have to have those. You can have paper flowers or no flowers at all. Your options don’t have to be chicken or beef. Eat lamb ragu or vegan chili. Let’s plan a wedding that looks like the two of you.

You know what makes a wedding awesome? Spending time with the people you love. A wedding doesn’t have to cost $50,000 if you don’t want it to. Spend money on the things that really matter to you. Let’s uproot the idea of what a wedding should look like. Let’s celebrate this commitment you have made to each other. Let’s throw a huge party where everyone has a great time!

Let’s plan a party so well the two of you get to be guests at your own wedding.

Ashley Griffith

I am originally from Cincinnati, OH, but in 2016, I followed a cute boy to Tacoma, WA, and now his hometown feels like my hometown. I love the beauty of Tacoma aka Grit City - from the mountain to the people to the docks - it’s just all so incredible. I love connecting with people, finding common ground, and figuring out how we can make each other’s lives better. I am a true extrovert in the sense that I gain all of my energy from being around people. And I have a lot of energy! I love being the go-to person at a wedding and making that day an incredible memory for the couple and their guests.

  • REESE + AARON

    We are so happy we chose Ashley for our wedding day. From our very first meeting through the last dance, she was organized, communicative, and completely on top of every detail, ensuring everything flowed smoothly so we could truly enjoy the moment.

    Her calm professionalism made the entire planning process easier, and on the wedding day, she handled vendor communication, timeline coordination, and every little bump behind the scenes without us ever needing to worry. Guests even commented on how flawless the day felt, all thanks to her attention to detail and seamless execution.

    We honestly can’t imagine how the day would have gone without her and her team. If you want someone who anticipates needs, keeps everything on schedule, and keeps stress at bay, you’re in the best hands possible.

    She truly brought our vision to life and helped turn my ideas into a beautiful wedding. I could not be more grateful for her hard work.

  • LAUREN + TOM

    From the very first meeting, we knew that Ashley was our kind of people. She is extremely organized, creative, fun, and so very kind. She listened carefully to our half-baked ideas and dreams and turned them into the most magical vision that absolutely nailed the vibe.

    Ashley was on top of every detail that we would never have known to think of. Working with her alleviated nearly all of the stress of planning a wedding.

    Tosha and the rest of the Grit City team are amazing too. Tosha ran our rehearsal, wrangled family, and helped us all feel prepared and at ease. On wedding day, Ashley, Tosha, and Laura handled setup, coordination, making sure everything ran smoothly, and checking in regularly to make sure we were hydrated and happy. If anything went wrong at all, we were blissfully unaware.

    We really had a dream team of vendors for our wedding, of which Ashley was the captain. She was with us every step of the way. Truly, could not have asked for a better person to walk us through our most important day.

  • COCO + GRIFFIN

    We loved working with Grit City for our wedding! They were recommended by our venue and it was so nice to work with a team who knows the venue inside and out.

    Ashley was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process leading up to the big day. Ashley and Tosha were amazing on the day of. They were really patient and positive, and were just an overall joy to be around. The day was unusually hot, and they made sure I was hydrated and fed. They felt like old friends, which is incredibly important on such an emotional and significant day.

    My husband said Grit City was the 'best money we spent on the wedding' — and I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Grit City!

  • TARA + LUIS

    We cannot recommend Grit City enough! From the first conversation, you could tell their broad experience left us in very capable hands. Ashley managed to be both incredibly friendly and easy to talk to while also being ridiculously efficient.

    The Grit City team provides a ton of planning resources to their couples and we met several times leading up to the event, all of which left us feeling relaxed and confident about our big day.

    On the wedding day, they arrived with smiling faces and kept things running smoothly and looking even better than we'd hoped. Their whole team was just delightful to work with and I am so glad they were there to help make our day perfect!

  • L + E

    We had an odd vision for what we were looking for, and Ashley handled it all amazingly, from recommending the perfect vendors to keeping us on track and making sure we had everything we needed to truly make it our day.

    Ashley worked very closely with myself and our maid of honor to make sure the day went perfectly, and was an excellent day-of coordinator. We went with their Wedding Management package and, as someone who can be a bit of a control freak, it was exactly what we needed; Ashley took care of the things we needed done and pointed me in the right direction for all the things we wanted to do ourselves.

    On the day of the wedding, we truly were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that Ashley had it all taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • AMELIA

    Choosing Grit City for the day of coordination and design for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.

    Through every step of the process, Ashley was there to answer our questions and provide feedback on our ideas. Not only is she knowledgeable in all things wedding, but she takes all the stress out of planning. In the week leading up to the big day I was able to give her complete control over all vendor communications and all planning duties. Not once did I ever worry about something getting lost or forgotten about, Ashley exceeded every expectation and I was able to relax and just enjoy the celebration!

    I can’t give enough praise to Ashley and her team for how seamless they made the wedding day and the entire time leading up to it. They were excited, organized and prepared for anything that came up. The train of my dress ripped 30 minutes before the ceremony and they were there with a thread gun and a smile to fix me right up. Truly the greatest team, book them for your wedding you will NOT regret it!
