Simple Soiree

e was very informative when decisions needed to be made or if we had to make a change in plans, she coordinated everything so that we felt at ease & still had the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend! They clearly know what they are doing!!

very organized from my initial contact all the way to the wedding day. They followed through on all their promises, appointments and phone calls. When we needed a last minute bartending service or our caterer was being unacceptable, Amy made great recommendations and handled all of our problems. My only regret was that we did not call them before we searched and hired most of our vendors. The recommendations they made were top notch and it would have saved us a lot of time. Most importantly Amy and Courtney handled every single detail perfectly the day of the wedding. I did not have one thing to worry about or do that day other than have a great time celebrating with family and friends. Thank you AMY you are ONE IN A MILLION!

ghout our entire planning process, than we were. We immediately clicked with her and she loved our vision. We knew we would be in great hands with her and her company. She even was right on board with all of our unique ideas. The wedding planning software she lets all of her couples use, was a breeze to use and honestly helped keep all of our planning incredibly organized. We were one of the first weddings to happen in the shutdown due to covid. Kaci went above and beyond to make sure all of our vendors were contacted and that we didn’t have to stress more than we already were. She was so comforting about it too. Not only did she do all of that once, but she did it all three times we had to postpone. When our big day finally rolled around, Kaci and her team worked like a well oiled machine. They were so organized and kept us ahead of schedule the entire day so that we had more time to dance and socialize at our reception. All of our family and friends adored her just as much as we did. In a way, we were happy to have to wait another year for our wedding because it gave us even more time to get to know her. We could not recommend her or her company enough. They all pay so much attention to every little detail and go above and beyond to give you the day of your dreams without having to stress about anything. Trust you will be in the best hands and will fully get to enjoy your wedding day for all that it is. We would recommend her to everyone we know getting married because we know she will give them the same incredible treatment that she gave us. We were not only happy to have our wedding day go so smoothly, but to have made an amazing friend in the process. Thank you so much Kaci for all that you did for us the past three years and for making our wedding day feel like a dream come true!

of me from the second we started working with them. I would highly recommend Simple Soiree to anyone, you won't regret it!

and Lisa made the venue look absolutely incredible with their creativity and attention for detail, and managed everything from start to finish. We truly couldn’t have had such a perfect day without this team and will rave about them forever!

at was important to us. Amy especially provided so many more ideas to the framework provided for the events to exceed our expectations. Her creativity and work confirmed to us WHY it is SO IMPORTANT to have a good planner that KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING! We had peace of mind with Simple Soiree planning! THANK YOU SO MUCH SIMPLE SOIREE!

th was seamless and perfect. I felt so calm and at ease the day of my wedding because I knew they had everything under control. Thank you x a million!!!!!!

day, to rescuing us when we ran out of beer - they made everything flawless and they did it with the most warm and friendly hearts. I felt like we were close friends. They tackled all of our set up and tear down and helped our entire party stay on time. They made sure Ben and I had time and space to ourselves, that we were fed and that we had absolutely nothing to worry about - and I truly didn't worry about anything. I got to be fully present and soak up every moment, and I wouldn't have been able to without their team. Kaci, Amy... you guys are truly the best and we love you!

d I could not have done it without her. She takes care of everything from start to finish so you are able to sit back and enjoy your day. Simple Soiree was not just a "wedding coordinator", but they felt like family and truly care about you and your big day. I am so blessed to have had them and you should too!

xpertise, compassion, and superior service that Kaci provided to us throughout the entire process! So many things kept throwing us two steps back but Kaci there to catch us and take us three steps forward! When our original reception venue fell through, she found us options right away! When our original ceremony venue fell through, she also made arrangements / amendments as well! Courteous, kind, and reassuring through it all! The wedding day (ceremony/reception) was absolutley PERFECT. Thanks also to Kaci's assistant that day Sydney! It was an honor to both have you a part of our wedding day! If a wedding this amazing can happen in 2020, imagine what Simple Soiree can do for YOU in 2021. Sincerely and with Infinite Gratitude, Phillip Freeman Husband of Jennifer Freeman Married 10/10/2020

make your wedding day magical, unique, and memorable beyond what you can imagine! THANK YOU!!!!!

ors for us and made sure everyone was on the same schedule. I would recommend Kaci and Simple Soirée to anyone! It was the best investment we made on our wedding day! Besides getting married of course :)

our day to be exactly what you envisioned, and makes sure to always have a plan in place when there is even the slightest chance that something might not end up working out. Planning our original wedding for June of 2020 and then replanning the wedding for August of 2020 there were many obstacles along the way. Kaci contacted all of our vendors during the rescheduling process so that we didn't have so much on our plate. The process in no way phased Kaci and she always had the most positive attitude through all situations. The week before the wedding our alcohol vendor was unresponsive and she found an entirely different company to supply the alcohol, another one to supply the glassware and 3 individual bartenders for our wedding. We will forever be grateful for everything Kaci did to make our day PERFECT. It was literally the BEST DAY EVER and we couldn't have done it without Kaci or her assistant Amy on our special day.

le. If you are looking for someone to build a relationship with and trust that your day will run smoothly this is the team for you. I highly recommend Kaci and the Simple Soiree team and I know if chosen they will not disappoint.

wants!!

S THE BEST DECISION IN THE WEDDING PROCESS WE MADE. We worked primarily with Amy Lukens--who is literally God's greatest gift in planning. The things Amy thought of and helped with were unreal. No wedding is perfect, and we definitely had a few hiccups we couldn't change like it being much colder on our day compared to in years prior, etc., but it was literally the BEST DAY even with the few hiccups! I am so grateful for Amy's dedication and love for her job. She did so many things that I could write a novel about--she was a coordinator, a floral designer (she took flowers hanging from a tree and made the prettiest mantel inside behind our sweetheart table), a dress helper, a drink provider, an encouraging personality, a goal maker and goalkeeper, the list goes on. Do yourself one favor and hire Simple Soiree for your coordinating! It will save you many headaches!

anized a massive art event. They seamlessly handled everything from bringing in the best professional sound technicians, taking care of travel and logistics for major musical talent, and bringing together over 250 people from all over the country. All of that without a hiccup, while also creating a beautiful and intimate events space that glowed with the love and attention to detail that only happens when someone is as passionate about their work as you are about your vision.

is what sets her apart. Absolute pleasure the whole way leading up to the event.

ade an effort to make sure we covered everything, I cannot imagine not having her there. The day of the wedding was calm but very organized. I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, attention to detail and kindness.

cient, effective, professional, unflappable cool. They have all of the answers--even to the questions you didn't even know you had! And they're a darn good time to work with.

rking with me. Kaci is positive, supportive, a great problem solver, and, most importantly, a really good critical listener. In our big day, Kaci and her assistant Christine worked with us, and everything ran smoothly. Not a single detail was out of place. They helped keep the day flowing. Simple Soiree has many industry contacts, and can easily recommend vendors for brides during the planning process.

single part of my day went accordingly. My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and more. Every detail was exactly how I imagined it would be--and thank GOD for their emergency kit for wardrobe malfunctions, lol. If you are considering using a planner, I HIGHLY recommend Simple Soiree. My wedding went off without a hitch, my vendors were all on the same page, and I never felt lost/abandoned/overwhelmed at all (plus I actually got to eat my dinner!). You will not be disappointed in the least if you work with these ladies--they're nothing short of incredible.

anized and super responsive. She took care of everything with my vendors so that when it came close to the wedding day, I could just relax. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. I was able to eat, drink, and really enjoy the day!! I didn't have to think about anything other than marrying the love of my life. Thank you Kaci for being so wonderful and giving me the best day of my life!

ilable to help us through email for the weeks prior and was present at the rehearsal. She was incredibly organized and detail oriented, and that helped me keep my stress levels in check. I would recommend Simple Soiree for your event!

st day of service and some prelim meetings. She is an angel who really made us feel like family-her compliments about our selections, guidance, finding vendors that met our budget and parameters, and EVERYTHING that she did on the day of the wedding were soooooo beyond our expectations---setting up the decor, keeping everyone healthy hydrated happy!, sharing stories and listening so attentively. She made us all feel loved.

were extremely fair and the end result was BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

try covers, and it looked AMAZING!! Highly recommend Jodi and her team. You will not be disappointed!

ould have it covered. I highly recommend Simple Soiree for any event, especially weddings! Thank you so much Jodi for making our wedding perfect!

have pulled our wedding off without her. From keeping us on time, to moving guests efficiently from cocktails to dinner she was the hardest working vendor we had!! Worth every penny and more. Thank you Jodi and team for making our wedding everything we dreamed of.

not have been any better, and a lot of the credit has to be given to the behind-the-scenes work done by them. They were even able to coordinate an amazing sparkler send off after our wedding was over!

odi communicated with us weeks prior to our wedding day to organize our contract and help us see any important things that we may have overlooked. If there were any issues on our wedding day, we did not know. Jodi helped keep the day moving seamlessly and made sure not only my husband and I, but our family and friends were taken care of. She continually checked in on me during the day and made me feel special. I recommend Jodi 100%! When I began the wedding process I didn't know if I would need a planner, but now I can't imagine my day without her.

o confirm, coordinate and finalize details with all your vendors is a huge weight off your shoulders when you have many other details to worry about - once she had the necessary contact info, she took the lead! Jodi was very accommodating in meeting and talking with me based on my schedule since I lived out of state. When the weather report showed it would be unseasonably hot (95 degrees in September), she helped rework details with my venue, had my back when they tried to push back:) and assured me everything would be great. She and her assistant made sure all ran smoothly, got everyone where they needed to be, and paid attention to all the many details that were important to me. Thank you Simple Soirée for keeping up with my crazy and being a great support in pulling off our big day!!

did!!! Jodi did an AMAZING job planning our wedding of our dreams! There are sooo many details that go into a wedding and there would have been no way we would've been able to enjoy our day without the help of simple Soiree. Their organization , timelines, communication are just a few of simple Soiree's amazing qualities. Jodi even ran to a rental place to pick up our sweetheart table my husband forgot to bring to the venue!! Jodi and her assistant went above and beyond our expectations We would've been lost without a wedding planner and highly would recommend them to anyone! Affordable and well worth EVERY penny!

to smoothly coordinate all of them…and us :) Specifically, Jodi went above and beyond to work with the venue, florist and caterer to make our wedding cake (which was damaged while in route to the venue) look like nothing went wrong! She also perfectly displayed all of our decor and packed everything up nicely at the end of the night. It was as if we had a fairy godmother looking after us all day! We received countless compliments on how well organized the event turned out and are very grateful to Jodi for coordinating the wedding of our dreams!

g and you simply can't put a price on that 😀 The day of our wedding she was on the ball and had a great handle on the itinerary and a true command of the day! If something didn't go as planned on our wedding day my wife and I had no clue and still don't and that's fine by us 😀 Jodi - if you see this thank you again for all your help!!

highly supportive. I do not know how we would have gotten through the last few weeks of planning and the wedding day without her! She was very communicative with me, as well as with our vendors, and kept everything running smoothly. I was especially happy with the way that she quickly understood what I was looking for and could communicate it to our vendors. She came with me to visit my venue, she made really helpful suggestions, and made the process fun! Her calm and focused demeanor not only made me feel confident that she could handle whatever happened during the event, but also that I could let go of feeling like I needed to control everything. I highly recommend Jodi and Simple Soiree's services - they are stellar!

take it all in. Jodi was very helpful in day-of coordination and managing the different vendors and process throughout the day!

th ease.

bove and beyond her "contractual obligations." Jodi helped me figure out wedding etiquette, how to make both families happy and feel involved, as well as recommended vendors for what we had still outstanding closer to the wedding day. Jodi also helped me to keep myself organized and encouraged very clear, well planned communication. As a result, Jodi and her team at Simple Soiree executed our plan effortlessly and expertly. We truly had the smoothest wedding day with SO many moving pieces that Jodi and her team were able to keep in perfect harmony on our special day. Jodi kept calm, cool and collected, kept the ENTIRE bridal party (families included)as well as all vendors on time and added the perfect touches to our day. Jodi is not only one of the best event coordinators that I have ever worked with, but she is someone I would consider a friend after having worked with her. She is remarkable and I would recommend her for any event you are planning, especially a wedding.

hs leading up to it thinking about how I was going to pull it all off. That's where Jodi came in. She met me on site about six weeks out from my wedding date and helped to see my vision, made phone calls to all the vendors to finalize arrangements, helped lead and facilitate our rehearsal and ultimately helped to orchestrate the entire wedding! I didn't worry about one detail on my wedding day, I knew everything would come together beautifully with Jodi and her assistant there. I would highly recommend Simple Soiree to any engaged couple , but especially to someone who is trying to pull off a DIY wedding! Thank you to Jodi for her professionalism, attention to detail, thoroughness and vision! Working with you was AWESOME. My day could not have been more perfect and I am so incredibly thankful for everything you did!

ely magical to walk in to. With it being so hard to communicate over the phone and email, I didn't know how well my ideas would be explained, but Jodi and her team made our wedding more beautiful than my husband and I could have imagined. She also was able to get us an amazing photographer that was booked up for the rest of year, and we are so grateful for that. Simple Soiree is incredible!

l advice and planning. We had some communication issues with our venue, and Jodi helped us work through them and strategize around them. In moments of stress, the conversations we had with her reduced it and allowed us to come up with good contingency plans. She went above and beyond in those services, and made many trips to the venue to meet with us. When it came to day-of coordination, Jodi and her team kept everything running smoothly, made sure the ceremony was timed correctly, and coordinated the vendors so we didn't have to think about much. One hiccup occurred before right before cocktail hour: we had tasked a friend to deliver mixers but there was some confusion about it, and the cocktail hour started before they could be delivered. Jodi and her team were on it, and were just about to make a last minute run to a local store to purchase backup mixers when our friend arrived with them. The care and attention to detail, as well as the absolute focus on making sure our wedding went smoothly, was fantastic. We highly recommend Jodi and her team for your wedding.

ontrol to create a beautiful memorable day. Her team adapted the layout and timeline on the spot to create an event that moved forward as if that was the original plan. Her recommendations for vendors were perfect. We had so many compliments on the food, flowers and layout. Her coordinating services the week before and on that day helped immensely to relieve my stress and allow things to run smoothly. Jodi and her team went above and beyond to make our special day extraordinary!!

eat person, not just wedding planner and I can't thank you enough!

hroughout the entire process, Jodi was extremely helpful, fun, innovative, budget-conscious, and responsive. All of her ideas were great and in my opinion, it was clear that she really wanted the best for our special day. There were certain things we wanted to bring to the ceremony and reception that fell under the services that Simple Soiree provides, but Jodi could not have been more accommodating and understanding as to why they were important that we take care of those items. On the day of the wedding, I was able to watch Jodi and her team as they decorated the chuppah. The attention to every detail was impressive and shows how much they care about their work product. Jodi even stopped by right before the ceremony, to give the chuppah another once-over and make sure it looked great. The ballroom looked incredible - the canopy above the dance floor got so many compliments, the sweetheart table and drapery looked amazing, and the uplighting really made the room look so special and elegant. Jodi also helped coordinate our floral arrangements: The flowers could not have been more beautiful and we really could not have asked for anything more. We thought the tables looked amazing and were blown away at how a vision could become such a beautiful reality in such a short amount of time. I would recommend Simple Soiree to anyone – Jodi takes the time to get to know her client and is amazing at what she does. We were so thrilled that they were available to help us create a beautiful night.

y flexible and accommodating with my schedule and needs. In the weeks and days leading up to the wedding she took care of contacting all of the vendors and coordinating arrivals, etc., it took so much off my plate. My day would not have been nearly as perfect as it was without Jodi making things happen that day!

ks so much for all your help with our awesome day!!

NCREDIBLE job. Quite honestly, I never saw them or came in contact with them on the wedding day - which I consider an amazing thing! They came in, did their job (and the curtain looked fantastic - we used white as recommended by our photographer) and when the doors opened for the reception the curtain was gone! They did exactly as was asked. I definitely recommend this company!

gh we hired them for decor Jodi always wears her "wedding planner" hat and really helped us think our day through with a big picture perspective. She really went above and beyond. If you're using a professional decorator or even hiring a wedding planner Simple Soirée is a must have for your wedding.

ur guests were arriving earlier than planned. However none of this was a problem because Simple Soiree executed everything quickly and beautifully. They really saved the day!! I highly recommend them!!!

ocess easy and fun. She has terrific taste and an eye for detail. Everything turned out beautifully and I was able to relax and enjoy the day instead of being stressed out. Definitely recommend!!

g day and made it even better than I could imagine. My husband and I had no doubt in our minds that our day would run smoothly and wonderfully. We will definitely be using Simple Soiree in the future for other events!

lt it was expensive for what it was, but our venue only allows certain vendors and we really wanted it and decided to spend the money for our wedding.

o an event like this again I will not hesitate to use SIMPLE SOIREE!!! Loved them and their ideas!!

ed with the appearance of our ceremony site and reception tent. It was exactly as I had pictured it. Thank you so much!

r anyone who wishes to hire a wedding planner. The wedding was absolutely beautiful...Jodi worked with us and paid attention to very detail!

ely recommend them they are awesome!

stress I was feeling because I was confident she could make my wedding day amazing. My wedding day was the best day of my life-I could not have done it without Jodi. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend for a bride to hire a wedding consultant and work with Simple Soiree.

rtant to us on our wedding day. She then executed our requests with the highest level of service and professionalism. Every detail was covered with her at the helm- she put together a timeline for us and made sure that all of our vendors were all on the same page. At the rehearsal she made sure to think of every piece of the ceremony and she communicated clearly to the wedding party everything that needed to be considered for the process to run smoothly. The day of- she helped with set up and breakdown. She was there from the first moment to the final second. Having Jodi as our coordinator was a HUGE help- we couldn't have done it without her!

way more than just day of and we are so, so, so thankful that we found her to work with!!

can we word that? What does convention dictate? Jodi took gentle command, set us straight, and the stress started disappearing after that. She's got an eye for detail and really knows her stuff. Her experience is evident and her demeanor was just perfect for this stressed bride.
