Ashton Held, owner and lead planner, had her second child in January of 2023 and had a career shift after selling her bridal salon. Emerald is the birth stone of her first daughter, representing new beginnings. Elm is the birth tree of her second daughter, with a meaning of being deeply rooted in her faith in Jesus. Emerald & Elm Events was born! We are a Full service event planning company. With a love of weddings and a passion for hospitality, wedding planning and coordinating just made sense. We have a strong desire to help brides bring their vision to life, and make the wedding planning process feel smooth and relaxed.

Hi! I am the Lead planner and coordinator for Emerald & Elm Events! As an enneagram two, I love to serve others, especially my couples. I graduated from NC State University with a degree in Fashion Design! With an eye for color and creativity, I love to bring a bride's vision to life. While Weddings are my career, I have a hope and a desire for this to be the beginning of a lifetime of happiness for my couples! When I am not at a wedding, you can find me with a baby on my hip and is chasing my toddler and chickens.

Let's embark on this beautiful journey together. Allow me to weave magic into your wedding day, making it an extraordinary celebration of love, joy, and togetherness. I am thrilled to be your partner in creating the wedding of your dreams. Contact me today, and let's start planning the most incredible day of your life!
