Ashley Joyce

has been an actor, writer and producer in the world of theatre, TV and film for many years. She was a producer of theatre and actor in Chicago for many years before taking the leap to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles she has been working in TV and Film writing and producing her own series. Ashley likes to compare elopements and weddings to “shows” - the producing of an event for a couple is very similar to her work in film! She started planning events on the side over 15 years ago. most recently planning over 200 elopements and micro-weddings in NYC remotely from LA, before deciding it was time to bring Songbird Elopements to her home in the City of Angels! What she loves most about planning is working closely with the couple to plan photoshoot locations and adventures that are unique and reflect your shared style as a couple! Her goal is to have your friends raving about your photos, noting that they never knew eloping could be so cool!

3 words that describe your personal planning style.

What makes LA special to you?

There are about 20 different “cities” all within Los Angeles. I love that no matter who you are or what your vibe is …LA has it in excess!

What is your favorite Los Angeles Gem (location, restaurant, dance spot etc)? 

This is SO hard there are too many but I LOVE a night at the Hollywood Bowl. Sitting among the stars and mountains, listing to great music and bringing in a picnic (plus wine!). It doesn’t get much better!

What do you think is the key to a happy relationship? 

100% laughter. If you can find a way to laugh together in the toughest of times as well as the good…that is the strongest foundation to a lasting relationship.
