Special Events

by April Severson and Kassie Alderson

We love what we do.

Helping make life’s special moments more memorable is an honor—and, let’s be honest, it’s tremendous fun.

  • Community building enriches lives by fostering a sense of belonging. We are passionate about creating opportunities for connection that reflect our clients’ values and mission.

  • Your celebrations are as important to us as they are to you. We collaborate with you to create stunning, intimate events that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments—filled with beauty, fun, and unforgettable memories.

  • ASE curates event concepts that reflect your organization’s purpose and values. Each event is as unique as your audience, and we believe every occasion has the power to express personal passions, celebrate business successes, and create lasting connections.

Sharing an event career spanning over 20 years, ASE has offered effervescence, flawless service, a personal touch, and guaranteed infusion of laughter. We will work with you to create a signature experience beyond your expectations.

Our clients return time and again because we never take their trust for granted. Whether the event is modest or wildly celebratory, we strive to earn their trust anew with each occasion.
