Ashley joins the Party Reflections team with over 10 years of event experience. She is from the mountains of North Carolina and an aluma of UNC Wilmington (Go Seahawks!). She has recently returned to her home state and brings with her a background in event rentals, production, catering, and venue management from The Bay Area. Some of her most memorable experiences are being part of DreamForce, Super Bowl 50, AT&T Pro-Am and Pebble Beach Food & Wine. Ashley’s diverse events background gives her the unique capability to see an event from all angles. Her favorite part of an event are those moments of calm before guests arrive where the client’s vision is brought to life.  

Outside of the office, Ashley can be found spending time with friends and family. She enjoys live music, cooking, and collecting stamps in her passport.”

Heide was born in New Jersey and lived there until the age of 10 when she and her family moved to North Carolina.  Heide started her career in the special event industry in May 2016 after being a stay at home mom for 20 years.  Not knowing exactly what to expect entering back into the workforce, she quickly adapted and became very enthusiastic and excited about this new chapter in her life.

In her spare time, Heide enjoys cooking, wine tasting, being outdoors, spending time with friends, and the three most important men in her life, her two sons Nicholas and Nathan and her grandson Zane.
