I’m Ashley, wife to Jeff, mom to Sophie Blaine and the creative dreamer who brought us all together. After falling in love with the Brazos Valley during my time at Texas A&M and working in the event industry for several years, I saw a need to be filled and embarked on doing so. With over 20 years of event experience and a passion for design, I’ve loved developing our work family to serve our clients.
I am just a girl from east Texas who fell in love with a company, career, boss and town. I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my biggest life moments with our clients, vendors and Ashley & Co. family from graduating from Texas A&M (2014), getting married to my husband, Matthew (2018), buying our home and becoming official residents of the B/CS (2019) and sharing adventures and life travels with our fur babies, Gus and Festus. I chose the event industry following my love for a fast-paced environment, creativity, leading others and helping people execute their dream event day. I began my career at Ashley and Company as an intern in the summer of 2013 and never looked back. My role has developed through the years from intern to full-time wedding coordinator to lead event coordinator. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with hundreds of clients on weddings, non-profit fundraisers, corporate celebrations, donor events with Texas A&M and private events for local residents of the B/CS. My experiences through the years have allowed me to grow with our clients and company, and I look forward to sharing many more events and years of life with them.
My name is Cathryne – spelled just like that – and I am a Bryan, TX local! I loved the community I grew up in so much, that I decided to stay to pursue my degree at Texas A&M University. While in school, I began my time at Ashley and Company as an intern and was lucky enough to transition into a full-time position following my graduation from Mays Business School. In the Spring of 2023, I married my high school sweetheart, and we are so thrilled to begin the next chapter of our lives surrounded by people we love. Outside of the office, I am committed to living a healthy and active lifestyle, but don’t let that statement fool you, I am fully committed to my dessert obsession! Things that fuel me are my family, working out and cooking and baking.
