ASHLEY MERISIER
CRAFTING EXPERIENCES THAT OUTLIVE THE MOMENT
WHERE EXTRAORDINARY BECOMES THE STANDARD
Ashley Clarke Merisier is a New York-based event director and founder of A. Merisier Event Coordination and Design. She built her career from the ground up progressing from event coordinator to director across some of New York's leading event production and marketing firms before founding her own company in 2018.
What sets Ashley apart isn't just the experience. It's the way she works. She is diligent, relentless, and genuinely obsessed with getting every detail right. Timelines don't slip on her watch. Nothing falls through the cracks. She holds her events to a standard most people in this industry don't bother reaching for and she does it because she actually loves this work, not just as a career but as a craft.
She shows up to every event the same way: with her full self. That means more preparation than anyone asked for, more attention than most would notice, and a commitment to greatness that doesn't negotiate with "good enough."
Off the clock, Ashley is a happily married mom to a bright, bubbly two-year old who keeps her on her toes which, honestly, is excellent training for event day. She is based in Brooklyn + Dix Hills, New York and works with clients across the tri-state area and beyond.

My Approach
My Approach
My Approach
How I work and why it matters.
In 15 years, I've learned that the idea is rarely the problem. It's what happens between the brief and the doors opening that makes or breaks an event. The best events feel effortless because someone behind the scenes was relentless before anyone arrived. Every touchpoint is a reflection of the brand. I treat it that way.
I come to every project with a clear plan, a vetted vendor network, and a genuine commitment to the guest experience. That means faster execution, fewer surprises, and a full debrief when it's over — what worked, what to optimize, and what it delivered. If you need someone who can own events end-to-end — strategy, logistics, and on-site execution — without losing the premium feel, that's exactly what I do.
