We cannot say enough amazing things about Savannah and Dan of Anthology Studios! We knew planning a wedding from another state would be challenging. We needed wedding planners who we could trust to be the on the ground local connection we didn't have. From the first phone call consultation it was clear they were the perfect choice to plan our wedding. As an interfaith and same-sex couple, we wanted our special day to reflect our unique journey and values, and Savannah and Dan understood that immediately. They approached every aspect of the planning process with incredible sensitivity, creativity, and inclusivity.
Savannah and Dan truly listened to us. They took the time to learn about our cultures, traditions, and vision for the day, ensuring that every detail was a perfect blend of our identities. From listening to our concerns and dreams, fielding endless questions on the phone, to helping us design a ceremony that honored both our faiths, they left no stone unturned. It was clear they genuinely cared about making our wedding personal and meaningful.
On the day of the wedding, they were nothing short of miracle workers. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely at ease knowing they had everything under control. Their calm, organized demeanor allowed us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones while they seamlessly handled the logistics. We were able to experience our wedding as Guests of Honor, and we didn't think at all about the actual work of throwing a wedding for almost 200 guests.
The final result was beyond our wildest dreams—a wedding that was vibrant, heartfelt, and uniquely us. Guests raved about how thoughtfully curated every element was, and many said it was one of the most best, beautiful and loving weddings they’d ever attended.
If you’re looking for wedding planners who will not only make your day flawless but will also make you feel truly seen and celebrated, Savannah and Dan are the dream team. Anthology Studios is exceptional, and we’re forever grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped us create.
My wedding was honestly one of the best days and went perfectly. This would not have been possible with Jo & Savannah. Jo handled our coordination starting 30 days out. Every vendor I spoke to said her communication was excellent. There were no gray areas or confusion. She conducted the rehearsal and day of activities wonderfully. We were a big bridal party and it was a bit like herding cats. She ran a tight ship and made sure we were on time. We had a lot of people - 160 - and everything was seamless! It wouldn't have been the same without Jo and I am so thankful for her!
We received so many compliments on Savannah's flowers. I was planning this wedding from out of state and a little nervous with everything so I asked her to send over some pictures of a mock up arrangement. She was in the middle of her busiest season but was able to take the time to do that and I so appreciated it. All the flowers were vibrant and colorful, none of them wilting. All the bouquets held up for our very long day in the sun. There was a naked statue at our reception venue and she made a very tasteful cover up for him. So many guests took pictures with it and loved it!
Meeting Savannah, Dan and the whole Anthology Studios team was a true blessing for us in the wedding planning process! From our first meeting 9 months before our wedding date, they were so open and understanding of our vision, and truly helped us crystallize our vision for the big day. They are deeply tapped into the industry and all of the vendors that they recommended for us were equally as kind, professional, and thoughtful as they are. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Anthology Studios for a caring, professional, and thoughtful team. Our wedding was a huge success because of their care and support!
Any questions?
My husband and I got married in February 2024. We did most of the wedding planning ourselves, but needed to find a coordinator for the wedding day and events leading up to it. From the first consultation call we had with Savannah of Anthology Studios, we knew we had found the right fit!
Savannah was so easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas and suggestions, and truly took the stress out of the wedding day so that we could focus on enjoying our celebration. Savannah listened to our requests and executed our vision even better than we imagined. When some last minute potential weather complications cropped up, Savannah kept a cool head and helped us to remain calm as well. Thank you so much Savannah for everything you did to ensure our wedding day came together perfectly.
If you are a couple looking for a coordinator in the Santa Barbara area, I highly urge you to work with Anthology Studios!
We went with Anthology for our wedding coordination and worked with Joanna (Jo). Jo was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. She guided us when we needed and definitely kept us on track throughout the whole process with lots of check-ins. On top of that she's a wonderful human being. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and the team to our friends!
Echoing every single other review, Anthology Studios is thee absolute best. It's hard to find the words to explain just how thoughtful, knowledgeable, and talented Savannah and her team are. From the moment we first spoke to Savannah, we knew it would be the perfect fit. She really understood our vision and executed it better than I could have imagined. I was truly able to enjoy my special day as a bride, knowing everything was taken care of. As an added bonus, Savannah had worked with all our other vendors, at least once. She handled all the cross communication and made sure the vendors were taken care of, so that I didn't have to give it a second thought. Savannah was so thoughtful, adding personal touches throughout the wedding ceremony and reception. She was always available to chat leading up to the wedding, even if just to calm my nerves. Her team really felt apart of the family on our wedding, which made for the most calming and special experience. You'd be lucky to be able to book with Anthology Studios!
Anthology studios, was the best decision we made for our wedding! Savannah went above and beyond to make our day magical. We opted for the Absolute package, Savannah took care of beautiful invitations, floral design , and coordination of our wedding day. She introduced us to wonderful vendors: beauty and make up- love Roxanne and Marianne, catering -DJ’s California catering did not disappoint. Our guests kept raving about the food, a great DJ, sweets and of course our creative and the sweetest professional photographer Candice. We can not forget the Santa Barbara Wedding Films- a friendly & professional team. Savannah is friendly, creative and wedding planning is an art that she mastered. My father, who is honest complimented her and said she is awesome. He specifically told me “ No one have seen such kind of a wedding -unique in the strict sense of the word!!!” To me that is what Anthology Studios does best. They are artists who are able to bring your wedding vision to life. To Savannah, the degree of our gratitude to you, Anthology Studios is unmeasurable. Thank you for your patience😅 , your kindness and your compassion for wedding planning.
-Grace and Tsubasa. Santa Barbara wedding September 2023
We had an outstanding experience with Anthology and their wedding planner, Jo. We decided on the partial planner package and still think it was perfect for what we needed. Anthology helped us plan and provided us with gorgeous florals. Our planner, Jo, was extremely dedicated. Her commitment shone through as she tirelessly managed emails, organized meetings, suggested vendors, and ensured our vision became a reality. Thanks to Jo, we are still getting compliments months later saying it was the best wedding yet!
We hired Anthology for Day of Coordination and from our first phone call to the wedding day everything was so smooth and comfortable. We were encouraged to communicate and ask questions in the months leading up to our day and were even able to ask for transportation and DJ recommendations. Savannah helped arrange our flowers and decor and executed the look flawlessly. She even took care of donating our flowers to senior homes post wedding. It was a seamless process all in all and they were delightful to work with! Our day was exactly as we had pictured and every single thing was taken care of so we could relax and enjoy with our family and friends. Cannot recommend working with them enough!
I would recommend Savannah and her team for any of you wedding planning needs. She captured very detail I wanted and more! She was always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concerns we had. She had a cool, calm, and collected vibe that made us feel at ease during the entire planning process.
Savannah and her team coordinated our wedding back in March. (Crazy how fast time flies!)
We cannot recommend her enough!!! She is INCREDIBLE to work with and is so dedicated to making sure your day runs smoothly. There were a few bumps along the way and she handled them flawlessly. Savannah even held and entertained my crying nephew during the entire ceremony.
She's an awesome person to be around and is so much fun to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars, I 10000% would! Please use anthology studios for your event planning!!!
Savannah and Dan were a dream to work with. They took the "day of" coordination way further than I expected and took care of all sorts of logistics, ordering, and coordination with our band, venue, and vendors in the months leading up to the wedding. When we started wedding planning, a day-of coordinator seemed like a luxury expense that we weren't sure we could justify. I can say now that hiring Savannah was the best money we spent and there is no way I would have enjoyed my wedding day nearly as much as I did without her! I didn't have a care in the world, Savannah was a step ahead of me all night, and the event went perfectly smoothly!
The Anthology Studio team genuine loves what they do and made the whole planning experience fun and comfortable.
What I really want to rave about is the flowers and decor that they put together for us! Our wedding was in a large, relatively empty indoor space and Savannah put together a vision to bring in the right furniture, backdrop, and decor to warm up the place. Dan brought her vision to life and crafted a beautiful, snaking, greenery masterpiece that my husband and I stood in front of to exchange vows. Savannah also did my flowers and my bouquet was absolutely stunning.
I cannot recommend Savannah and Dan enough!!
1000 stars for this team!!! Savannah and Dan are amazing, love, love , love them !! It was the best day of our lives. It ran so smoothly, and our guests are still telling us what a great time they had. All of her vendor suggestions were perfect. Omg... and the flowers Savannah did for us were so beautiful, even better then the inspo photo's I sent her. And Dan surprised us something personalized for our ceremony....absolutely unforgettable !!!! They made sure the ceremony captured both our personalities which was the most important to us , and they nailed it!!
I can't thank them enough!
Savannah was the glue that held our entire wedding together! The moment I first talked to her on the phone, I knew she was the perfect fit for what we wanted. She totally understood our vision. She also made excellent vendor recommendations and truly thought of everything. On the actual day of the wedding, she was calm, collected and on top of everything. The entire day went perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. Not to mention that she also stuck with us for essentially three years (!!) and two COVID-related postponements. Savannah was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough!
Savannah was a true life saver at every moment during our wedding but also from the moment we hired her. She was so professional, kind, and easy to work with, and we just feel so lucky that she was a part of our special day. Every recommendation she had worked out amazingly, the flowers were stunning, and when our caterer turned out to be less than amazing, she handled it without us even knowing what was going on. THANK YOU to Savannah for everything, so lucky to have worked with you and to now call you a friend!
I don’t even really know how to start this review because Savannah is the reason my wedding was literally the best day ever! Throughout the whole experience she was there for me not only to bounce ideas off of or get vender recommendations but to be a sounding board and an outside the family non biased opinion. From the first moment I spoke with Savannah I knew I liked her vibe and decided to hire her for her decore and more package! Absolutely no regrets, actually the only one might be I should’ve had her just be my full planner 😂 She was always open, honest and willing to chat on the phone. After every conversation with her I’d hang up wondering what I was even worried about in the first place, my now husband even would tell me to call Savannah if I was starting to spiral! In all honesty though her and her team I would trust with my wedding over and over! I didn’t have a single thing to worry about all day and everyone commented on how wonderful the day was. She also did my decor and helped me create a vision and bring it to life! She also did my florals!
Where do we begin?!
Savannah and Dan were the reason our wedding went so smoothly. Every time my wife and I had a concern or a worry Savannah and Dan Would always be there to help ease our concerns. Extremely reliable and very prompt with their responses. On the day of the wedding Savannah made sure that everything was where it needed to be (Bridesmaids and Groomsmen included). Savannah ensured that my wife and I had a great time and that we did not have to worry about anything the day of. I will highly recommend going with Anthology Studios for your wedding coordinator needs. They are the best and will make you feel comfortable during the wedding planning and will take the stress away on the day of. Not only are they great coordinators, but they are amazing people! Very personable and extremely professional!! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further than Anthology Studios. 10/10 would recommend!
Let me start by saying that we decided that we wanted to get married in 8 weeks!!! I mean a full wedding in 8 weeks!!! And when I called Savannah to tell her I was crazy & asked her if it was even possible, she simple replied "let's do it"!!
Savannah & her rocking team helped us not only with coordination but also we also choose the décor & more package. We couldn't be more impressed with our big day & everything leading up to it! We told Savannah about our dreams & hopes for our wedding & they created something that will be talked about for years! From the golf tee boutonnieres & stunning bouquets to an excellently executed wedding timeline, it was everything we could hope for & MORE!
Savannah is meticulous & a great communicator. She is patient with all the questions & really understands what you are asking & need. With the limited time I found myself slightly overwhelmed by all the little things that needed be done & every time I called Savannah in a panic about various things, she had them already planned and ready to go. When we needed to book all of our vendors, she was ready to go; Savannah reached out to some of her favorite DJs, MUA & bakers to confirm their availability before passing along the recommendation. When we felt like communication with the venue was challenging, she jumped right in & worked everything out. We honestly couldn't have had our BEST Day EVER without them!!! Thank you Savannah & Dan!
Planning your wedding with Anthology Studios & Savannah is like planning your wedding with your best friend, who happens to be the best wedding coordinator in town!!!! 10 out 10!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Savannah & her staff are honestly the most amazing team you will ever find. She made us feel so comfortable, and knew exactly how to make our visions come true. Savannah is so laid back, it’s like working with a best friend - we even did planning over tacos & beer one day, like I said, SHE IS THE BEST. The day of the wedding, she knew exactly how to help calm us down, and help us relax. She made sure everything ran according to plan. She has a great sense of humor, and is so easy to be around. Please do yourself a favor, and let Savannah & her team help you live out your dream wedding. We love you so much Savannah. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!
Our elopement turned out so amazing and better than expected, thanks to Savannah and the team she assembled. She picked out a great location, came up with the floral arrangements and officiated our ceremony so beautifully. We couldn't be more happier with Savannah and her Anthology partners. Savannah truly understood the assignment and it was worth every penny! Best of all, we had so much fun and fond memories working with these folks and we would rehire them all in a heartbeat for future renewals.
Savannah was absolutely amazing. She made my vision come true. She handled everything and made my day very special. She planned only my reception party. But it was perfect. I am so thankful I found her!
I had the pleasure of working with Anthology Studios for my wedding this last April. Savannah and Dan are an amazing team who work so flawlessly together.
One of my biggest weaknesses is organization, fortunately for us Savannah was so on top of everything. The morning of our wedding I was still writing my vows, I had so much confidence in Savannah that whenever anyone tried to speak with me about anything I just pointed them to her. She is detailed, organized, lighthearted, creative, and patient. My goodness is she patient. I didn’t have my flower colors picked out until days before the wedding and was lost with so many choices. I told her what I wanted my wedding to feel like and she made it happen. She put together my bouquet which was so breathtaking beautiful I wish I could recreate it everyday.
This company goes above and beyond to make your dreams come true. Heck Savanah followed us around the 5 acre venue to help our photographer get AMAZING photos all while wear heals! She’s a real life Wonder Woman. They set everything us and took everything down. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
I cannot say enough about their skills and abilities. They made our day absolutely perfect. I would recommend them to anyone and would certainly use them again if we ever decide to do a vow renewal.
Savannah and Dan are a dream to work with! They take the time to create the vision for the wedding based on being to know the parties involved and then do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true! We were so incredibly happy with our special day, thank you!

Hiring Savannah was worth the price just with wedding day set-up and break-down alone! Seriously - having Savannah and Dan there to literally set up every little thing before the wedding and clean everything up at the end of the night was HUGE. It’s way more work than people anticipate, and Savannah and Dan did it seamlessly. AND they did so much more than that! Savannah was in communication with us starting about a year before our wedding. She helped us keep track of “checklist items” and was there to answer any questions. I also used Savannah to do our flowers, which was a great deal. Savannah also brings decor items from her inventory, so you don’t have to purchase or craft a ton of things you’re not going to use again. I’m not going to lie, I still went overboard with DIY decorations, but if I hadn’t done anything, it would have been totally fine. Savannah even brought a beautiful wood arch. On the day of the wedding, Savannah handled all coordination with the vendors. We had a few hiccups with two of our vendors, and Savannah was there to communicate with them so we didn’t have to take our time for that. In the end, it ended up being a “what’s done is done” situation with the vendors, but she did her best to ensure the day continued to run smoothly. Having Savannah and Dan there on the wedding day was probably the best money we spent. All the help planning leading up to the event was great, but the day-of coordination was the biggest win for us! I can’t imagine what the day would be like if they weren’t there! Highly recommend if you want your event to be taken care of from start to end of night!
Savannah and Dan did an amazing job helping us have our wedding during one of the craziest years ever.
They stuck with us during the most difficult times, and helped as as we had to postpone, cancel, change locations, change dates, and more, always with a positive attitude towards everything.
In the end, we were able to have an amazing micro-wedding that came to live better than we could have ever imagined.
We are extremely thankful and glad we booked Anthology Studios to handle all of our wedding planning!
To say Savannah and Dan go above and beyond would be an understatement. I honestly do not know what we would have done without them. We booked them (As a no-brainer) early 2019 as a week of coordinator. But that didn't mean anything, Savannah was there for me, responding to my questions, and listed as my point of contact for other vendors from the beginning. When COVID hit, I (living in Seattle) relied on Savannah for communication for updates regarding what was going to happen and any changes that came about. Eventually, we had to move the wedding to Seattle. We called to speak with Savannah about this and without hesitation, she and Dan volunteered to travel to Seattle to continue to support us. Two weeks prior to the wedding, there was an announcement that we would have to move the wedding again. I called to notify Savannah. She called us back and let us know that they had rearranged their family's schedule and would be coming to Seattle early to continue to support us.
Fast forward to the wedding day. Savannah had informed me that due to the storms on the west coast, my flowers did not arrive on time. (oh yea, I forgot to mention, Savannah and Dan were also my florists and decorators, they do it all). Savannah said that she and her family (kids included) had spent the entire previous day traveled all around Seattle and the greater area trying to find my flowers and had put together bouquets as close as they could do.... her kids even foraged outside for my greenery. I was so touched.
Aside from all the support prior to the wedding, our wedding was absolutely amazing. It was seamless and flawless. I cannot thank Savannah and Dan enough. They are the perfect team and it is obvious they truly care about their couples. I cannot recommend them enough. There is truly no other way to go than hiring Anthology Studios as your coordinators. Thank you Savannah and Dan. I owe you everything. <3
We HIGHLY recommend the dream team that is Savannah and Dan! You will not have to worry about a thing. They will go above and beyond. They will definitely make your special day stress free and 100% more enjoyable.
Anthology Studios are a super team! Whatever you could be looking for Savannah and Dan have you covered, they go above and beyond for their couples. They work hard and have cultivated a team of beauty professionals and musicians to help make your day as special as possible. They truly care about their couples, hiring Anthology Studios will not disappoint. Hire them NOW, you will be happy you did!!!
Savannah and Dan were a pleasure to work with. They definitely made our special day stress free and 100% more enjoyable. Savannah not only made our vision come true, but made it even better! The quality of service they provide is exceptional, from our perfectly planned schedule to our beautiful flower arrangements and much more, they surpassed our expectations. I can't emphasize how enjoyable they made our day, we were able to enjoy the day with our loved ones without worrying about anything. Our wedding way was perfect and I couldn't have done it without Savannah and Dan.
Oh! and p.s, thanks Savannah for holding my iced coffee and letting me take sips between our photo session.
Savannah is wonderful and our wedding was amazing thanks to her. We interviewed several wedding planners, but immediately felt at ease with her. She got our vision and style and didn't try and steer us into anything different but built on it. She genuinely cared about us and about our wedding. She's incredibly responsive and even after we first met and walked her through the location where we wanted to hold the reception, she sent us a document right away laying out our vision, complete with ideas for flower arrangements, tables and chairs, linens etc. to get us started. Throughout the few months of planning, Savannah was always in touch, planned everything way in advance, and was very responsive to our questions, in a way that made us feel she has it all covered and has our back. We also relied on Savannah's creative instincts. She is able to provide an incredible range of services, including flower arrangements, decor, and hair and makeup. She has a great network of vendors she works with and if you have an off the cuff request like a coffee cart company or brewery for kegs, she knows them all and has excellent taste. Simply said, Savannah turned our wedding into something we will remember and cherish for a long time and we're super thankful to her and her team.
Savannah was an absolutely amazing wedding planner! Things went so smoothly on the day of - I didn't have to worry about anything. Also, she knew so much about weddings and brought up and resolved problems before I even realized they were there. I would definitely recommend her!
Savannah and her team are the best. Since the moment i met them at a Wedding Event in Camarillo that I felt at ease with them and part of a family.
Savannah was absolutely easy to work with during the whole wedding process with great recommendations for other vendors and designing my centerpieces.
On the day of the wedding, she was always there for a question and made everything seamless. Thank you again for making our wedding magical. Everyone had a blast.
Hiring Savannah was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Savannah does EVERYTHING. I really felt like Savannah was a bit of a mind reader. She completely understood what we wanted and created it for us even more beautifully than we ever could have imagined. Not only was Savannah our planner and coordinator, but she also was our florist and provided the beauty team, which eliminated more vendors for us to book, simplified the planning and communication, and saved us money. She truly can do it all. On our wedding day we felt so relaxed knowing that Savannah had the reigns. We also had a lot of fun spending time with Savannah, and every member of her team, which made wedding planning even more enjoyable. Savannah and her husband Dan will be there with you every step of the way and do whatever it takes to make your day perfect. We honestly cannot recommend Simply S Events strongly enough!
Savannah and her Simply S team are hands down the best. We hired them for day of coordination and beauty team services and they went above and beyond. Once the contract was signed, Savannah answered all of my questions leading up to the big day and reassured me when I had doubts about how everything was going to work out for the event.
Her beauty team did 6 bridesmaids and myself with plenty of time left over for my girls and me to chill. She then joined her husband in setting up our venue and making it look just absolutely amazing! The days leading up to our wedding day I told her my ideas for the décor and day-of she fine-tuned things and just brought the place to life! I walked into our reception area and was stunned at her work! All without having me lift a single finger the day of!!
Her and her husband then made sure the rest of the night went perfectly and packed up our stuff into the cars. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could completely trust her to get everything done that needed to be done! I loved working with Savannah and would recommend her to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 06/12/2019
Oh Sarah- thank you so much! We absolutely loved being apart of your day. We wish nothing but the best for you and Jon. We hope your new journey in Baltimore is full of joy. Congrats!
These guys are the freaking best. They did my sister's wedding in 2017 and I knew I had to have them for mine! My wedding was yesterday and Savannah captured the exact look I was going for. Simple, natural, fun, and stress free. Savannah gave me GREAT recommendations and a timeline along the way. She was also my florist and got all my invitations sent out for me! They made sure the day of the wedding was easy and neither my family nor I had to worry about setting up or cleaning up. Just the time, energy, and stress that I saved by booking with Simply S Events was worth the cost. It meant I was able to enjoy my family and guests the days leading up to the wedding instead or finalizing last minute things which Savannah was able to do for me. Not to mention Savannah and Dan are just the sweetest people and I walked away feeling like the genuinely cared about my husband and I. They are just so awesome and are totally called to this profession. If you book Simply S Events I promise you won't regret it!
Thank you guys so much!
Simply S Events are An absolute dream team! Savannah and Dan will not hesitate to make your visions come to life and will do everything to make exactly what you want happen! Savannah has a very calming way about her and will never leave you feeling overwhelmed about your event. She is always professional and has wonderful communication. Simply S Events experience with all things events and planning shows and I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to make their dream event come to life.
Don't look anywhere else! This is your dream team! I am a girl that likes convenience and lucky for me, my venue required a "day of coordinator" and when I found Simply S Events, I didn't need to look for any other vendors. Savannah was way more than just my day of coordinator. She was my hairstylist, make up artist, and florist. She also directed me to an amazing local baker Eileen at Golden Mittens Bakery for my wedding cake! I loved working with Savannah, she completely understood my vision and worked with me every step of the way! My husband and I did most of our wedding planning, but without her guidance for our big day, it wouldn't have happened as smoothly as it did. She went above and beyond for what is expected for a "day of coordinator". Savannah and her team exceeded our expectations and we would use them again for any event we plan in the future!
I can't say enough good things about Simply S Events! Savannah & Dan are an incredible team that made this 'Type A' bride feel at peace. They truly went above and beyond. They kept our day stress free and on time. They are also some of the most giving people I know. Not only do you get amazing service when you use them but they also have an inventory of decor items available to you upon booking. They are extremely professional but at the same time make you feel like you are talking to old friends:) Hiring Simply S Events was the was the best choice I made throughout the wedding planning process
From the first day of speaking with Savannah up until the end of our wedding day, she made us feel so good, comfortable and at ease, she was there to help in any way possible! It was the best decision we made having her on our team. :) The wedding day was truly perfect, and she made sure Vince and I had an amazing time! We’re grateful for every little detail that went into making our day so special. Thanks Savannah and Dan!!!
Savannah and her husband were a dream to work with. From our first get to know you conversation to each question I had throughout the planning process, Savannah was accessible, knowledgeable and friendly. We originally signed on for day of planning, but were so excited to find out that she did floral arrangements as well. At the last minute she was able to pull together servers and a bartender due to a last minute catering change. It was so comforting to know that our wedding day prep was in her capable hands, and when I arrived at the venue the the flowers and decor were more than I could have dreamed of. We would highly recommend Savannah and her team!
Yes. Hire Simply S Events. Just do it already.
I can't even begin to express how helpful Savannah was for us. If you are shopping around for planners and having trouble deciding, I can guarantee you will be happy with your choice after going with Simply S Events.
Savannah was always easy to reach and responsive. She helped keep us calm by always having our needs figured out. For any request, she was able to, or knew someone who was able to take care of it for us. Everyone she recommended were just as excellent. I wasn't able to find a Tardis piece for my boutineer and without me asking, she created one the night before our wedding! It's my favorite piece of the suit.
We couldn't be happier and our wedding wouldn't have gone nearly as smooth without the help provided by Savannah and Simply S Events.
Absolutely LOVED our experience with Savannah and Dan. They made our day run so smoothly and she was so awesome to work with, never rushed me, and made me feel like I had a friend on such an important day. She was responsive and found ways to throw in extras for free - including the arch! Excellent Value. Excellent couple. Book Savannah and Dan and you can't go wrong! She also did the flowers that were gorgeous too!
Wow - where to begin? From the minute we started working with Simply S Events, my life got easier in terms of planning my special day. From the friendliness of their team, the effort they put in, and their genuine nature, I could not have asked for a better company to help me along this journey. A very scary journey to be quite honest! You don't fully realize every little detail that is involved when planning a wedding - it is mind boggling! So having such a supportive team around you that cares just as much as you do about your event running flawlessly, stop your searching now and go with Simply S Events.
Being the typical male and not doing a ton of the planning, I still wanted to help in other ways like making sure my wife was not too overwhelmed with the large task of planning a wedding. Anytime I would ask a question about how things were going, she would say, "Savannah (the owner) is taking care of it." Well, what about the flowers? "Savannah is taking care of that." Okay, well how are we looking with the setup for the day of? I know the venue was on the fence about a couple of our requests. "Savannah is handling that too." These were just a few of the examples, but I literally cannot speak to how instrumental Simply S Events was in making my big day run smoothly.
On the day of, they were constantly going around and making sure everything was to our liking. We even had a small problem with the venue and Savannah completely handled it so that we could enjoy our night. We had no clue there was even an issue until after our night was over! From start to finish you are always at the forefront of their minds.
Another added bonus, they have a member of their team that can play a wide variety of songs on guitar during the ceremony!
Thank you so much Simply S Events!!!!
AMAZING!!! I am beyond happy that my husband and I hired Savannah as our day-of coordinator for our recent wedding. She did an amazing job in organizing everything and executing our day-of timeline. Throughout my time working with her she was professional, organized, and very personable.
In addition to being a coordinator she is also a very talented florist...she made all the bouquets/corsages for our wedding party (I loved my bouquet!) and provided a ton of stuff for our reception decor. I told her what I liked and gave her a few pictures that I had on my pinterset and she did the rest. When my husband and I walked into our reception venue we were in awe. It was so beautiful and exactly what we envisioned (plus some!).
Her husband Dan also played acoustic guitar at our wedding ceremony and customized it to what we wanted. It was great and set the mood perfectly for our guests/wedding party. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about how the day went and how beautiful everything was. Without Savannah and Dan I don't think we would we would have had the amazing wedding that we did. I would HIGHLY recommend Simply S Events to anyone thinking of hiring either a wedding planner, a day-of coordinator, or a planner/coordinator for any type of special event. You will be so happy that you did!!!
Savannah and Dan were AMAZING! They not only coordinated the whole event by setting up everything for the day of, they were available for communication from the moment we met them, which was about a year before our wedding. Besides setting up our whole wedding to look like a fairytale, they made beautiful flowers, and did the hair and makeup of all my bridesmaids and myself. They did a great job of coordinating with all the different vendors to make sure the timeline ran smoothly, making sure everything was in its place at the right time. My wedding occurred during one of the worst times for Ventura County, the Thomas Fire. Savannah and her family, along with most of my other vendors were evacuated from their homes. Even through this scary time, she was available when I needed her at any time and never missed a call, text, or email. My wedding would not have been as amazing without SimplySEvents. I recommend for anyone who wants their fairytale wedding.
Savannah and Dan were absolutely incredible. They coordinated my wedding on September 16th and it honestly would not have come together without them. I did a ton of DIY stuff and they were able to set up, coordinate, and tear down every single detail flawlessly. I was able to enjoy every moment of my special day because of these two and I am SO SO thankful for them. I highly recommend SimplyS Events if you want a perfect wedding from start to finish!
What to say about Savannah? How about: she went above and beyond in every area.
We decided on the Partial Planning Package, but there was nothing "partial" about it. On our wedding day, we had no worries; everything at the venue was set up correctly, the various vendors had what they needed to do their jobs, and both she and her amazing husband Dan stayed until the very end of our wedding (1am!) to make sure everything was cleaned up.
Maybe even more importantly, Savannah probably saved us thousands of dollars. She either had everything we wanted, or figured out a cost-effective way to get it. "Oh hey, I know a local floral wholesaler. Since I know what kind of flowers you are thinking of, would you like me to buy them for you from her and set them all up?" "Oh hey, you want candles in gold-dipped votives? I happen to have made some. Would you like to use those (for free)?" "You want an arch for your ceremony site? My husband just finished building [this great] one you can use (for free) -- What kind of flowers do you want to put on it?" Everything we wanted, she made happen. She saved us so much on flowers, decorations, and favors. And as a plus, she let me ship everything I bought to her house, which was very helpful since we live far away.
Basically, she will over-deliver. Beyond her seemingly endless supply of connections, she gave us confidence that what we wanted to make happen was both possible AND a good idea. What we loved was that there wasn't a lot of "I'm the wedding planner, so I know what's best for weddings," but rather a whole lot of "what a great/fun idea, here's what I can do to help." So if you want to have the wedding that you are planning in your head, and want a planner who will actually help you make it a reality, we HIGHLY recommend the dream team that is Savannah and Dan!
Savannah is an event artist; she is kind, creative and assertive. She and her husband Dan MADE OUR WEDDING DAY. Thanks for them we were fully in the moment and joyful as everything went even better than dreamed of.
I hired Simply S as a Day of Coordinator but she went on to do the flowers, create decor and thrill my mom (and I) with how easily the day ran.
Before the wedding Savannah met with me several times to tour the venue, meet with our caterer, talk specifics and create a day of schedule. At each meeting I shed my stress and worry and left feeling excited and relieved.
Savannah is extremely creative and Dan is super hands on. This lovely combo led us to have: a donut peg board, table numbers that were actually songs handwritten on dark stained pieces of wood (allllll done by Savannah), an original light sculpture featuring floating flowers in a dry fountain in our venue.
My mom cannot stop talking about how amazing Savannah was/is and I cannot agree more. She ran our wedding with assurance and ease. She let everyone know that she was working so no else needed to. Having her was THE BEST DECISION. Please treat your future self and book her now. There are so many things that happen on your wedding day, you want to enjoy the fun ones and not even know about the other details (setting up plates for unexpected guests, passing out tips, picking up cakes, dealing with gifts). Savannah gave us our dream wedding day and then some.
Wow! Savannah and Dan were incredibly amazing from day one until the very end! She helped me find my dream wedding venue and helped me save money on decor, flowers, cake and showed me several different ways to stay on budget! Savannah would be there for me emotional late at night if I was having an emotional breakdown and celebrate with me when we found something fun or cool to add to the wedding. She was worth every single penny and I truly wouldn't have had such a smooth and seamless wedding without her running behind the scenes and taking all the stress off me so I was able to enjoy the day to the fullest with my friends, family and new husband!
From the first moment I spoke with Savannah I new she was the one to help me create my vision and help me stay on budget. She instantly had wonderful energy and gave me the confidence and excitement to keep me on track and to get started on my wedding planning to a destination wedding, on a holiday, in 9 months!!
The details:
She did all my flowers and kept me on my tight budget, including all centerpieces, bridal party bouquets/boutonnieres, ceremony flowers and flower wall!
She created a stunning flower wall backdrop for behind the sweetheart table and her hubby Dan made a dark stained wood table prettier than the inspiration pinterest picture I gave her.
She helped me find a Boba Fett character to hire to present the rings to us, (my husband is a HUGE Star Wars fan so this made his year!) She hired him and coordinated everything to keep it a secret from everyone. The execution was EPIC!
She made me the all time most gorgeous dessert table with chocolate covered everything, champagne soaked gummie bears, and smores station! AND decorated my cake with flowers and it was elegant and perfect.
She helped keep all of my vendors on track all day long and they didn't bother me once because they knew to speak with Savannah and that was definitely the best part!
If I could do my wedding over I would do it 1000 times. Thank you.
