Still dreaming about the Davis wedding at Irongate Garden Inn last month ✨
Setting up for this beautiful day was such a rewarding experience, and I’m so grateful to have worked with an incredible team of vendors who brought it all to life.

This review from the talented photographer behind truly meant the world to me:

“Working with Ashley is a dream! As a wedding photographer at Fire by Night Photos, knowing that the day is professionally planned and mapped out allows me to slow down throughout the day, rather than juggling all the details myself.

She brought a calm confidence to the Davis wedding at Irongate Inn, setting the tone for the entire day. Everything felt thoughtful, organized, and grounded in the couple’s vision — and that’s a reflection of Ashley’s leadership and care.

Her assistant, Alex, was incredible to work with as well. She stepped in during family portraits and helped keep groupings moving smoothly, which made such a difference in allowing us to stay on time and focused. Later in the evening, Alex continued to run the timeline with ease and grace, keeping everything flowing behind the scenes.

As a photographer, having a planning team like this makes all the difference. I was able to focus on capturing the story, knowing that every moving piece was handled with professionalism and kindness. I’d recommend North State Events to any couple looking for planners who bring both structure and care to a wedding day.”

Huge thank you to for these kind words — and to all the amazing vendors and couples who make this work so fulfilling. 💛 Here’s to more days like this! Photo: venue:

✨ Sneak Peek Alert! ✨
Introducing the new Mr. & Mrs. Davis 💍

This past weekend, Julia and Mark tied the knot in one of the most breathtaking—and windy—locations we’ve ever seen: Donner Summit. With just 20 of their closest loved ones, they said “I do” surrounded by blue skies, mountain views, and so much love. 💙

Yes, the wind was wild (so wild that the bride’s veil flew right off the summit!), but in true Julia fashion, she laughed and said, “She gone!” 💨💁‍♀️ It was one of those real, unforgettable moments that made the day so authentically them.

Afterward, everyone made their way down the mountain to a cozy and elegant dinner in a private room at Moody’s Bistro in downtown Truckee. Every detail—from the intimate setting to their Kings jersey guestbook—was a perfect reflection of their story. 💕

At NSE Events, we believe that every couple deserves a celebration as unique as their love story. Whether it’s a mountaintop wedding or a cozy dinner with loved ones, we specialize in crafting unforgettable moments that reflect your personal style and vision. Our attention to detail, creative planning, and commitment to making your day as stress-free as possible are what set us apart.

This kind of love? It’s pure magic.
Congratulations, Julia & Mark! 🥂

Hi: Introducing Mrs. & Mrs. Fry 🤍✨
Their wedding day at the breathtaking Honey Run Estate was nothing short of romantic, elegant, and timeless. From the stunning private property to the love that filled every moment, it was truly unforgettable.

Jenn, our lead planner, shared that her favorite memory was being invited into the family group prayer during rehearsal—such a beautiful and personal moment.

The weather? Perfect.
The love and effort from their friends and family? Absolutely incredible.

Congratulations, Mrs. & Mrs. Fry! It was an honor to be part of your story. 💍🌿

Rainy bike rides, muddy trails, and one very sneaky fiancé 💍🌧️🌿🌺

Camille had no idea what was coming when she and Mark set off for a hike at Hidden Beach in Kauai—especially after a rain-soaked bike ride start to the day. But by the time they reached the end of the trail, the skies had cleared… and so had Mark’s moment to get down on one knee! 💕

“It worked out really well,” he said.
“I could not believe it!” Camille added.

Now these two are counting down to their next big adventure: an intimate ceremony next month on top of Donner Summit in Tahoe. We cannot wait to celebrate with them and bring their vision to life. 🏔️💫💍 photos:

As a wedding planner, I’m a stern believer in having a seating chart and assignments. It’s honestly one of my pet peeves when there isn’t one! Here’s why: 👇⁣

✅ Streamlines the Event – No wandering around trying to figure out where to sit.⁣
✅ Reduces Stress – Guests won’t have to worry about making awkward seating choices.⁣
✅ Encourages Socializing – Thoughtfully paired guests can spark new conversations and connections.⁣
✅ Helps with Guest Flow – Keeps everything organized, especially during cocktail hour and dinner service.⁣
✅ Avoids Family Drama – Keeps seating conflicts in check by placing people where they’ll feel comfortable.⁣
✅ Professional Touch – Shows you’ve put extra care into your wedding details.⁣

Trust me, a seating chart is a small detail that makes a HUGE difference! 💕⁣

Thrilled to announce that Lexi + Ryan have officially signed on with North State Events for their July wedding at the breathtaking Lake Almanor! Their love story is one for the books — after seven years together, Ryan popped the question on November 30th during a Christmas tree cutting trip. Lexi knew it was coming any, but the timing was still a delightful surprise! 🎄

Their journey started back in junior high at Marsh in Chico, where they were friends. Years later, they reconnected when Lexi was working at Tres Hombres, and Ryan started visiting more frequently, sitting at her tables. Six months after rekindling their friendship, Ryan asked Lexi to be his girlfriend on New Year’s, setting the stage for a beautiful love story that’s led them to this exciting next chapter.

We’re so excited to help bring their dream wedding to life and celebrate their love up at Lake Almanor this July! 💍✨

Shoutout to Suzie, the very first person I brought on to the North State Events team, and she’s been by my side ever since! 🙌 I’ve honestly lost count of how many years it’s been, but one thing’s for sure—she’s an absolute gem! 💎

The best feeling? When a bride mentions Suzie specifically as her possible planner because she crushed it at her sister’s wedding a few years ago. Talk about a testament to her skills! 👏🎉

Suzie, you continue to wow me every single day. So proud of everything you do! 💖

Hi, I’m Ashley, the owner of North State Events! I’m passionate about event planning and love bringing people together for some of life’s biggest moments. My motto is “be a guest at your own event”—I believe the host should enjoy every part of the celebration, just like the guests do.

When I’m not planning events, you’ll find me being a busy mom to my three daughters—10, 8, and 5. They are my world! I love taking my boat out on the lake whenever I can, and when it comes to food, you’ll catch me enjoying a good steak, sushi, or Chipotle. Blue is my favorite color, and health and wellness are super important to me, so I prioritize exercise and staying active.

I feel incredibly blessed that my business is thriving, and I’m beyond grateful for all the strong, incredible women on my team who bring my vision to life every day. Their dedication and passion make everything possible! We hope to serve you this year and beyond, creating moments that you’ll cherish forever. Photo:

This past fall, we had the honor of celebrating Ramit & Jasjeet’s 25th wedding anniversary at the breathtaking Great Bear Vineyards in Davis, and what a night it was!⁣

Surrounded by their family and closest friends, the evening was a perfect blend of love, laughter, and celebration. From a delicious farm-to-table dinner to a heartwarming slideshow that captured 25 years of memories, every detail was thoughtfully planned. Their twin daughters stole the show with a fun trivia game that had everyone laughing and reminiscing, while the first dances and heartfelt toasts left not a dry eye in the room.⁣

The night ended in the best way possible—with everyone on their feet, dancing the night away under the stars, celebrating the incredible bond Ramit and Jasjeet have shared for a quarter of a century.⁣

Here’s to love that lasts a lifetime, and a night we’ll all remember forever! 💕⁣

To say I’m excited for these two is an understatement! ⁣

I met Olivia surprisingly while nursing my third kiddo, Charlotte at In Motion Kids Club 6 years ago and would sit in the nursery rocking chair and would chat with her. Shortly after I realized she lived around the corner from us, I asked if she’d be willing to babysit. She then babysat our kids for several years while she was going to school for the nursing program and even accompanied us on a trip to Hawaii. During Covid she also was my kids learning pod teacher too. ⁣

We then said, farewell to the babysitting days when she went on her way and became a nurse at Enloe, but still are connected to her family as her little sister Sydney is now our family babysitter as well. I⁣

just adore this family and when I heard Olivia got engaged a few weeks ago, my heart burst with joy. Her and Colin are the sweetest couple!!! To be asked to be a part of their planning journey and wedding day is a complete honor. ⁣

Today we met for our first planning meeting and it was super exciting and great conversations were had. I can’t wait for all the fun ahead. Let’s go! 💜💜💜

In a little over 2 months we will have the pleasure of working with at for Ashmi and Umang’s wedding!!! 🎉❤️ 💍.
Ashmi and Umang met online in 2021 and totally hit it off and shortly after that Umang knew he wanted to propose to Ashmi. Umang had it all set up where he was going to propose to Ashmi at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory overlooking the beautiful view of the Berkeley hills but there was a bit of a snag. Umang was concerned that the custom ring he ordered wouldn’t be ready in time and the weather called for fog and misty conditions. By some miracle the ring was finished just in time and the sun started shining right before Umang was set to propose so the photographer was able to capture some beautiful shots, so it all worked out 🥰

engagement for his girlfriend. We talked and a few times and he said “I trust you” and let us do our thing to make it special. He let me in on a few key details of her favorite flowers, dinner wishes, location etc. and I got to work. and I watched the proposal from below the coupla and both had goosebumps and chills while Francisco proposed to his girlfriend. It felt like something out of a movie! 🥰 After they got engaged, they headed down to a private dinner with their families to celebrate. 🥂 It was the perfect afternoon and evening. Thank you Francisco for trusting us!
