Ashley Brooke Weddings and Events is a Winnipeg wedding planner led by owner and lead planner Ashley Friesen. The confirmed official website identifies the business as a Winnipeg, Manitoba wedding and event planning company, formerly Bella Notte Weddings and Events. Its published service menu ranges from full planning through final-stage coordination, consultations, and visual design support.

This profile was last reviewed on August 10, 2026. The supplied legacy website and phone number were not used: the listed domain belongs to an unrelated children’s dental practice. The official Ashley Brooke Weddings and Events site confirms the business identity and email contact route, but does not publish a postal address, telephone number, package prices, or current availability.

Business overview and current identity

Ashley Brooke Weddings and Events presents itself as a Winnipeg-based wedding and event planning company. Its official homepage says it serves Winnipeg, Manitoba and beyond, while the About page identifies Ashley Friesen as the owner and lead planner. The website also confirms the former Bella Notte Weddings and Events name, which helps connect the current business identity with older references couples may encounter during their research.

The business says it was started in 2013. Ashley Friesen is described on the official site as a certified International Wedding Planning Professional and Event Designer who studied through QC Event School. This is a business-published credential and background statement, not an independent assessment of current capacity or fit.

Services and specialization

The official services page lists four principal ways to work with the business: Month of Coordination, Full Service Planning, Hourly Consultations, and Wedding Styling and Design. These options distinguish planning support from design-only work, giving couples a useful starting point when deciding how much assistance they need.

Month of Coordination is positioned for couples who have completed the main planning and want help finalizing details in the last two months. The site says the team is present from the rehearsal through the final major event on the wedding day, with cleanup available if that is important to the couple. Full Service Planning is described as support from budgeting and vendor selection through designing the day. Hourly Consultations can include vendor referrals, décor and design advice, and budget analysis. Styling and Design is for couples who have logistics in hand but want help developing the event’s visual direction, including inspiration boards, vendor sourcing, and décor setup.

Service area and who it may suit

Winnipeg is the confirmed geographic focus. The official site also refers to Winnipeg and surrounding areas, and the homepage says “Winnipeg, Manitoba and beyond.” It does not publish a precise travel boundary, destination policy, or travel-fee schedule, so couples outside Winnipeg should ask whether their venue is within the service area and whether additional travel, accommodation, or staffing costs apply.

The published service descriptions may suit different planning stages. Couples seeking comprehensive help can ask about Full Service Planning; couples who have largely planned the celebration can discuss the two-month Month of Coordination approach. Those looking for targeted advice rather than a full package can ask whether an Hourly Consultation covers their immediate decisions. Couples who mainly need an aesthetic concept and setup support can ask about Wedding Styling and Design.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the range of planning formats: full planning, final-stage coordination, consultations, and styling/design. Another is the stated two-month lead-in for Month of Coordination, which gives a clear indication that this is more than a single-day handoff. The site also identifies two team roles: Ashley Friesen as owner and lead planner, and Aynsley Hildebrand as event assistant and lead coordinator.

The official pages do not set out a complete, current inclusion list for every package. They do not state guest-count limits, number of weddings accepted, number of planners assigned on the day, insurance, accessibility arrangements, language capabilities, travel charges, cancellation terms, or whether specific events can be accommodated. These are practical details to confirm directly rather than assumptions to make from the profile.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website describes services and their general scope but does not show package prices, starting rates, hourly rates, retainers, taxes, travel fees, minimum spends, or payment schedules.

Request a written quote matched to the event date, venue, planning stage, guest count, design needs, rehearsal expectations, and expected wedding-day coverage. Couples comparing coordination with full planning should ask for an itemized outline of included meetings, vendor communication, décor setup, cleanup, and any optional additions.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official contact route is the enquiry form at ashleybrookeweddings.ca/contact or email at ashleybrookeweddings@gmail.com. The form requests an event type, date, venue, and message, which can help couples provide useful context in an initial enquiry.

The contact page says enquiries are reviewed within two to three business days. That statement is a published response expectation, not confirmation of availability. No telephone number or postal address is published on the official pages reviewed, so neither is listed in this profile.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm who will be the primary contact during planning, who will attend the rehearsal and wedding day, and whether the named lead planner or coordinator will be present. Ask how the service changes if the timetable runs late, vendors need direction, décor requires setup, or cleanup is requested. For Month of Coordination, clarify the exact date support begins and the number of planning meetings and communications included.

For Full Service Planning, ask which vendor-selection, budget-management, design, and contracting tasks are included and which remain the couple’s responsibility. For Styling and Design, confirm deliverables such as design boards, sourcing, rentals, installation, takedown, and any third-party costs. Obtain written terms covering payment timing, change or postponement procedures, travel, additional hours, and cancellation before committing.
