Member Spotlight
Dennis Ashley, D Ashley Design+Events

What does your company do?
D Ashley Design+Events is your all-encompassing event production solution. Our mission is to create exceptional events that capture your vision and inspire your audience. We apply branding strategies and principles from the commercial world to create a breakthrough event. Our goal is to harness the power of visual identity and verbal identity to build your company’s brand into the event. Our approach to event design encompasses fusing art and creative direction to create stunning events that entice the senses. We pride ourselves on providing full and partial event services, ranging from event design & layout to exquisite florals with a keen eye for detail and a creative vigor. At D Ashley Design+Events we harness these strengths to create and deliver the imaginable to event reality.

How is it different than others like it?
“Our service” and ability to “exceed our client’s expectations” is one element that may separate us from our competitors. Our hospitable service has a foundation that is focused on the relationship we nurture with our clients.

What is your most memorable event?
ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: The Cowan/Brown Family Episode (to air January 10th, 2010). My company produced, designed and managed all events (outside of building the home) for the builder: Hallmark Homes; including the following: VIP Tent, Catering Tent, Spectator Zones and Tents, Catering and Event Programming, The Wrap Party for Cast/Production Crew and Hallmark, and The Airing Party with featured guest’s the Cowan/Brown family. Overall, I managed over 1000 volunteers that served over 5000 construction/volunteer workers in a period of 6 days.

Why?
The opportunity to transform the lives of family.

What was your very first job?
My mother was born and raised in Texas, and at a young age she had to work in agriculture fields. When I turned 12 years of age, I went to work for an agriculture company that detasseled corn. To date, still the hardest job I ever had.

What is your favorite restaurant?
Ed Debevic’s, Chicago, IL. If you get the chance to experience their signature “RUDE” service, it will be one that you’ll never forget, and the food isn’t that bad either.

If you were not in the event industry, what would be your dream job?
Professional Athlete: PGA, NFL, or the NBA: any would suffice.
