Ashley's career has been spent in nonprofits across the metro Atlanta area producing and managing events from major fundraisers to concerts to staff meetings. While working, she has helped friends and family with their own weddings, birthdays, and special events. Whether the event served thousands of people or a dozen, creating lasting memories has been the goal. 

 

Ashley grew up in a creative household with a grandmother who crocheted intricate doilies, a mechanic grandfather, and a mother that could make a whole city from cardboard boxes. That inventive childhood, and a very understanding family, led to a life-long passion for making things. With The Renao, Ashley will be able to pass this creative skill to her clients and create anything they need to make their event truly unique. 

 

Ashley lives in Marietta, with her husband, Howie, and rambunctious kindergartener, Cecilia. Ashley enjoys making things and self-improvement audio books - currently she is on a Brené Brown kick! She always has at least one personal craft project (if not 8!) going, and her current obsession is quilting.

 

Ashley has degrees from Georgia State University and the University of Georgia. She will be completing her Project Management Professional certification in December 2019. You can follow her on Instagram @theaclee.

Nicole has 10 years of experience in healthcare as a registered nurse and 7 years as team leader of the medical ministry at her church, organizing annual health fairs and quarterly events for the community. Her skills in leadership and community service outreach benefit the function and success of event planning.

 

Patient care requires customer service skills, a personable attitude, meeting the patients’ needs, critical thinking, and problem solving to address any issues that may arise. Nursing also provides perspective for supporting and addressing the needs of individuals and families on all days, not just the good ones.

​

Nicole's outreach efforts have led her to work with organizations including the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and Sickle Cell Foundation to provide information, screening, and services to the public. Her role for these events included advertising, contacting vendors, event set-up, and managing volunteers. 

​

These attributes, and her passion for excellence, will produce events that  will create memorable experiences for The Renao’s customers and their guests.

​

Nicole lives with her husband and two daughters in Lawrenceville. She enjoys traveling, movies, and doing family-fun activities with her girls.
