Elizabeth Hempfling

Owner & Principal Planner

Elizabeth started her planning company after working in the wedding industry for several years as a bridal consultant in a local dress shop. She knew she could make a difference in the planning process for area brides and their families.
Ten years later, after becoming president of the area ACES group, her idea wheels were turning again. She wanted to take things a step further and create a space for brides and vendors alike to relax and enjoy meetings in a central location. In 2013 The Wedding Resource Center was created.
Elizabeth has been planning perfect weddings for over a decade with a growing team of professional planners and consultants. With her vast area knowledge and small town connections you will feel like part of the” family” with Events by Elizabeth Ashley.
