The Experience
Vintage Entertainment for Elegant Events
Some bands play songs. Ashley Anne & The Carnations set a scene — the shimmer of a gold gown under a spotlight, horns catching the candlelight, a songbook that made the Golden Age golden. From an elegant cocktail hour to a floor-filling dance set, every performance is polished, planner-friendly, and tailored to your event.
Make your event feel like Old Hollywood.

Our Favorite Band!
This band has always been so much fun to dance to at social events, so we decided to hire them for our wedding! Everyone loved the band — the guests, the vendors, and the venue staff. They truly set the atmosphere and experience we wanted for our guests. They even let me, the bride, sing a surprise song for my husband… Thanks to them our wedding was amazing.

A Wonderful Veterans Day
We were truly delighted to have Ashley Anne and the Carnations perform at our Veterans Day celebration. They did an absolutely amazing job and brought so much joy to everyone in attendance. Ashley's voice was beautiful, and every song she sang was filled with heart and emotion. Our residents were captivated from start to finish… She created such a warm, uplifting atmosphere for our whole community.
