Simple to Elegant ... there's not enough time or space to emphasize here how well these folks do their jobs...But I have to try- because if you're in charge of the planning? You NEED this kind of help. As mother of the bride, it's ALWAYS something. And just about the moment you've remembered another detail that must be handled ? Simple to Elegant HAS GOT IT covered (sometimes, quite literally... ha!) but always, in a manner more affordably beautiful than you thought possible! Still, if any review in this category is going to be accurate, it's JEANETTE. Jeanette was the single factor, that "point person" who was able to help me bring everything together for my daughter's long-awaited day! Jeanette met her- my daughter and Jeanette- rather late in the planning game. I was just a little concerned, as my girl knew pretty much what she wanted-- but I was having trouble figuring out how to bring it all together. Our budget was decent-- but not without limits. However, time was getting to be the problem... deadlines! We'd missed some of the bigger ones. (At that moment, I was struggling with floral availability & shipping...) Jeanette said to me (before their meeting) "Don't worry Mom, I've got a good feeling a bout this!" Right?! As the MotB, all we DO is worry! But they hit it OFF, from the start-- And She worked so hard for them, behind the scenes, communicating with ALL the vendors & everyone, in order to GIVE them the room arrangement, draping, table & chairs settings, with the florals, music & catering that we had arranged ... in sum? Jeanette was very clearly personally delighted for my daughter & her groom! And so? it's far more than Rentals when it's Simple to Elegant you're working with... It's one of the most important days of a young couple's lives, so when working with Jeanette? The event obviously matters as though it were her own. Call for her help-- and you might enjoy your own reception! We did.

Simple to elegant is absolutely wonderful to work with, and I highly recommend their services. Due to COVID, my wedding was not the easiest to plan. They took care of all of the set backs with the planning and made me feel at ease during the rough planning times. Due to illness, last minute our preacher was unable to be at our ceremony. I informed Simple to Elegant of the situation, and they immediately took care of the situation. It is stressful to plan a wedding and they made it fun and enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make the “perfect” wedding happen even during the pandemic.

We needed to plan a surprise, long-distance wedding from CA so I started doing my research over a year in advance. Simple to Elegant came highly recommended and when I contacted them, I felt like they would be the perfect fit. The next time we went to IN we met with them in person and left feeling like they would take care of every detail and make the whole process seamless. I am Type-A and it is very hard for me to not control everything about EVERYTHING that I do but this was something I had to let go of and let the experts handle. I was an older bride, and this was going to be my one and only wedding so I wanted it to be perfect. Simple to Elegant did not disappoint! Even during a pandemic, every detail from the venue, food, decorations, and most of all the SURPRISE was planned to perfection. Jeanette treated us like family and truly cared about our vision for our perfect day. She and her team gave us what nobody else could have --the wedding of our dreams. I have so much respect and admiration for what Simple to Elegant does and I can't recommend them enough....I wish we could do it all again!

Jeff from Simple to Elegant was absolutely amazing and exceeded all expectations! The decorations in the church and venue were absolutely beautiful! Jeff provided direction through the wedding rehearsal, the actual wedding and the rehearsal which was very much appreciated! We couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome of our wedding and we owe it all to Jeff and Simple to Elegant. We believe Jeff’s attention to detail, his communication, delivery and follow through were key components to the success of such a memorable day!

Since I just got a notification saying this company had the audacity to dispute my review / that I was their customer on weddingwire.com, I decided to go ahead and update my review on them for every website I can find- since I have not changed my mind on how terrible their services were, even after all these years. I was married on June 8th 2013 at Rose Hulman, and the only thing I regret during my entire planning process was using this company, and hiring Jeff Winchester.
Here are just a few examples that still tick me off when I’m reminded of them:
-Arrived at my rehearsal 20 mins late, then called everyone at the rehersal around him after making them all wait to proceed to explain to them that I was late to many of our appointments w vendors (5 mins a couple times I will admit, but not really the time, place, or audience to shame me for it dude), and then continued on to mock me in a horrendous Chicago accent for the rest of his “speech”. So awkward.
-Through various interactions jeff managed to individually offend or anger my entire wedding party.
-Started taking down all my reception decor wayyyy before my reception ended. (This honestly is one of my worst wedding memories...the reception had over an hour and a half left before it ended and most guests packed up and left early after he started to do that because they thought it was over). Everything else I could have probably dismissed as innocent human mistakes but this just shows he didn’t care about my wedding at all, just wanted to hurry up and get off work.
-Kept all my wedding and reception decor (fake floral arrangements, vases, etc.) when I specifically told them I wanted it all back (most was handmade by my florist aunt). I was told they threw it all away, i can only assume they’re renting all of it out to other brides now...
-Would call for vendor suggestions and some of their responses were pretty worthless. Fantastic Sams for my bridesmaids and my hair. Makeup artist suggestion? “Hold a Mary Kay party, have the girls buy their own makeup and apply it on the wedding day”.
-When the DJ messed up our enterance song I told him it was wrong and asked him
to go talk to the DJ and fix it and he told me no in so many words and started shoving my bridal party through the door.
-They set up 2 of my tables wrong. After I gave them very specific instructions.
-One of the main reasons I hired them was because they did clean up after the reception so Rose Hulman wouldn’t charge me for it, all they did was take decorations down. Nothing else they said they would do with cleanup.
-When the bus we hired to transport us left us all at the reception hall, I called Jeff for help and he didnt answer. Not dependable when I needed him the most that evening.
-Basically as soon as I handed Jeff the check for payment, he completely quit caring. So many small things from that day Jeff did or said upset me too, the ones I have listed are just the bigger instances. Not only did I find their professionalism nonexistent, but when my husband and I reached out to them about our issues they were completely unconcerned and said they still had the vases from the reception if my husband wanted to get them and that’s all they could offer. If I could turn back time I would have never hired this company, I cannot tell you enough how much I regret it over 5 years later.

I used Simple to Elegant to decorate my wedding in 2006. It looked amazing and I was told by several people (small town, not many options) the venue was the best they had ever seen it look.
My step-daughter was married in April 2018. When she started planning I told her she had to hire Simple to Elegant. They were amazing! The decor was beautiful and everything ran smoothly and on time. They cleaned up after the wedding, boxed up the cake and made sure the parents and wedding party were always ready for the next item on the agenda.
I couldn't imagine having a wedding without Simple to Elegant. They are professional, detail oriented and they know the ins and outs of weddings and prepare you for things you never would have thought of. They take care of everything from beginning plans to clean up that night.
They are wonderful to work with and have amazing visions. You can have a great wedding on your own, but if want an AMAZING wedding, you have to include Simple to Elegant!

We were so happy to find Simple to Elegant when planning our daughters wedding! After our first meeting with Jeanette, it was very clear that she was going to alleviate much of our stress and we had made the right decision to hire her company. There were so many details that we would have forgotten. So many phone calls we didn’t have to make.
On the day of the wedding, everything was set up and beautiful, the wedding party was organized and knew right where to be at the perfect time. And when it was over, all was cleaned up and packed away! The bride and groom truly got to just enjoy their beautiful wedding without worries!
Jeanette was definitely lots of fun to work with, not pushy at all, but extremely helpful in suggesting things to compliment what we had already chosen. We appreciated her confidence and professionalism. She really was super sweet to us and felt like family by the end! Thanks again for making our daughters day beautiful!

Wedding planning can be stressful and sometimes, just no fun. Working with Jeanette and her team at Simple to Elegant takes that stress away! They were able to make our vision come to life and made it fun! They helped coordinate all of our vendors, gave us insight, were so accommodating and helped guide the way to our day. We had a budget and she helped us stick to it while still having a beautiful day. Jeanette and her team are hands down the best in town. I wouldn't use anyone else!!

Best decision that my mother and I made was to hire Jeanette Winchester, owner of Simple to Elegant. She helped us every step of the way. Her expertise in wedding planning is outstanding. From making phone calls and setting up appointments to site visits, she made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. She offered her opinion on how to set up the reception hall, what type of decorations to use and so much more. She took care of every last detail including the rehearsal, wedding and reception. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my special day and not have to worry about anything.
I highly recommended Jeanette and her staff!

Dreams become reality working with Simple to Elegant! I work in the event planning space myself, Continuing Medical Education business - I have now for 19 years. I'm hands-on and expect things to be a certain way, and I wanted things a certain way for this special day. I was no match for Jeanette and her son, Jeff. The initial consultation was as warm and inviting as the cup of coffee they had waiting for my then-fiancee and I. We browsed through their lovely boutique-like shop of decor, drapery, and place setting options before settling in the back in a living room setting with cozy love seats and coffee tables. We thought it was cute that they had love seats to sit and chat on! They then began by asking general questions like dates, locations and times and so forth. Then our desires, ideas, any colors we may have in mind at all. They genuinely want to allow you to make the day your day and not influence you or persuade you in any way. That was encouraging! They get an understanding of what you would like to see on the day, things you think you can handle, things you do not want to deal with, and they will offer their services from A-Z and explain how they will take care of everything for you.
My wife and I love palm trees, so living in Indiana, a Florida wedding wasn't realistic. We purchased some palm plants and groomed them until they grew to be about 13'-14' tall. After talking with Jeanette and Jeff and deciding how we could use the plants, they were eager to make this work for us understanding it was one of our primary desires. Looking through several pictures, we then figured out exactly how we would stage the backdrop behind the ceremony. Talking and sketching - Jeff was able to draw the exact diagram of the backdrop in one attempt without error. After this meeting, which was our 2nd meeting we were unbelievably comfortable from there on out. There were explicit and clear lines of communication. Jeanette was available to my wife or myself via email or cell in the evenings, on weekends, even on her vacation she made herself available to us. She allowed us to adjust designs and schemes, again without an opinion at all or trying to up-sell us on anything. Many times suggested ways to help us save money, which of course was very much appreciated. The little things do mean the most, and they do a tremendous amount of little things. One more, I almost forgot! We decided to incorporate into our service a sand ceremony and a balloon release. Jeanette went so far as to write out exactly what our pastor was to say verbatim for the sand ceremony that went immediately to the balloon release to commemorate our loved ones that couldn't share the day in person with us and then announce us as one to end the service. Jeanette and her entire staff honestly went above and beyond to make this day extraordinarily memorable for not only my wife and I but my whole family.

Jeanette and her team at Simple to Elegant made our wedding day everything my bride and I hoped it would be and more. From the initial planning stages Jeanette gave helpful tips of what would work and even things to avoid to insure a perfect wedding day. She took the time to really get to know us and our preferences and then made them happen. Her attention to detail and planning took away a great deal of stress as we knew everything would be taken care of and taken care of nicely. Her knowledge of the available resources (food, venue & music/band) insured that she matched our tastes/desires with the proper resource for the perfect wedding & reception.
With the assistance of Jeanette we were able to focus on each other on our wedding day and not worry about all those other external factors associated with the wedding ceremony or reception.
We would highly recommend Jeanette and her team at Simple to Elegant for your wedding.

We had a great experience working with Jeanette and the entire Simple to Elegant team. Especially, coming in from out of town, communication was key. She took care of everything and I never had to worry that something wasn't going to be exactly what we hoped for. An extra challenge, like the event being over a holiday weekend was not an issue. I felt she went above and beyond to work with our budget and make our event look beautiful. She is attentive, calm, and keeps the event moving on schedule. Nothing seemed too big or too small for her to take care of, from renting furniture to get the look we wanted to adding a signature drink in our event color. Thank you, Jeanette and Simple to Elegant!

Simple to Elegant made sure my wedding was perfect! The only regret I have about hiring them, is NOT hiring them to do my ceremony as well. They took the decorations I made and arranged them beautifully around the room, took care of any challenges that come up during the reception, and cleaned everything up nicely. They were even able to resolve a miscommunication between myself and the caterer, by ordering a bridesmaid with food allergies a meal from an outside restaurant. They are fantastic and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your event. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

When planning a wedding, a bride and groom jump through many hoops. It may be guest lists, venues, vendors, or even the attire of the wedding party. There are many decision to be made, and often these need to be made quickly. With that being said, I can simply state that Janette and Jeff from Simple to Elegant were my cheerleaders, shoulders to cry on, and constant supporters during my wedding.
Simple to Elegant is a fantastic vendor for any wedding, large or small. Their supply of rentals is large and tasteful. Our budget was strictly adhered to, and I never felt like Jeff or Janette were pushy. The dreams we had for our wedding were ours and the staff at Simple to Elegant made sure to accommodate them, keeping in mind our budget.
Simple to Elegant employees were always very professional and very organized. They assisted me with decorations, ceremony details, wedding day timeline, communication with the other vendors, and Janette even went with us to our food tasting.
My husband and I were treated like family from our first visit with Simple to Elegant. To this day, Janette and Jeff are still a part of our lives. We loved the support, guidance, and most of all love that they shared with us as we planned and celebrated our special day.
I could have never planned our wedding without Janette and Jeff's help. I highly recommend Simple to Elegant to any bride. I love them both dearly and am so happy I wandered into their store a year ago. They dried my tears and helped me plan the most beautiful wedding.

They are the perfect mixture of fun and professionalism. I love how they took my ideas and help me to build on them. I got to have the wedding of my dreams and I give them all the credit. They helped me plan, set up, coordinate, and tear down and clean up. I had zero stress and was able to actually enjoy the entire day. ZERO STRESS!

As the mother of the bride, Simple to Elegant made everything very easy. I wanted my daughter and son-in-law to have the perfect stress free wedding and Simple to Elegant helped me accomplish this. Jeff was very informative, professional, friendly, funny, helpful and most important of all he eliminated the stress. We only had one glitch, and that was when the Officiate would not respond to calls, it was 6 days to the wedding and we found ourselves without an officiate. Jeff came to the rescue and was able to find us a Pastor to conduct the ceremony. Jeff was a life saver and the wedding and reception went like clockwork. My daughter and son-in-law said the wedding was perfect! They really enjoyed their wedding and that is all that really matters. Thank you very much Simple to Elegant and a very special thank you to Jeff. It was a perfect day!!

Start to finish this was the best decision I could have ever made. Simple to Elegant took all the stress of my day off of my shoulders as well as my family. They came up with so many great decor ideas and how the day should flow. If I had a question they had an answer. If I had a request they made it happen. If I had a concern or an issue with a vendor they took care of it. I did NOT want my parents to have to be the family of the bride as well as the decorators or the planners. My fiance and I were totally comfortable with them. When it was all said and done we felt like they were family to us. They took care of everything, they LISTENED to concerns and gave me what I have been dreaming about since I was a little girl. I have been to weddings where they do not have a coordinator or planners. The photographer runs pictures late, the dj tries to be something they are not which is a dj, a light person and a planner. That never works. After being at so many weddings I didn't want that. They suggested vendors that would work with our budget and knew who would do a great job at what they do. Picking vendors can be tough as every vendor we talked to sounded like they would do so much for you. Some just charged an arm and a leg for services and look good on paper and sound good but they wanted to tell you they can also do this or they can also do that. Jeanette, Jeff and Dana focus on what they do best...that is decorate, coordinate, plan and make the process run smoothly. 5 stars doesn't show the true value of what they offer. Thank you for making our day the best ever. I will NEVER forget what you did for us all. After all the weddings I have been to/been in I don't know how people do it without people like this. Best investment we ever made. Thank you!!!

LOVED this company! They provided beautiful rentals and fantastic service! I never had to put up or take down a single things and we rented almost everything from them. Jeff assisted in coordinating my wedding and made sure I was not missing anything. He met with me when I toured the venue site, and helped call my florist, DJ, and all other companies involved in the event. He also helped me plan a timeline for the ceremony and reception and literally ran the entire event. Everything was perfect! They even helped keep the peace with the wedding guests who had too much to drink!! Choose Simple to Elegant. It makes planning a wedding SO much easier!

When we started planning our daughter's wedding, we weren't sure where to start. Friends advice--hire a wedding planner. WOW--were they right! Simple to Elegant was our first stop and then our only. We hired them at our initial appointment. Jeff and Jeanette are truly the best in what they do. We never worried, we never second guessed anything, they helped us cut corners where they thought would help and our wedding was beautiful! My advice--if you are thinking twice about hiring a planner--don't! Hiring Simple to Elegant was by far the best decision we made. They are professional and made us feel very comfortable when discussing money and costs! They were perfect and followed through with everything they said they would. By far the best in the business! I cannot imagine what a wedding would be like without the experts at Simple to Elegant!

We met with Jeanette and Jeff at Simple to Elegant in late January for my daughter's July 11 wedding at St. Mary of the Woods. They were great to work with especially since my daughter was working 3 jobs in Bloomington, IN while I was teaching in Illinois. Jeanette kept us on track with timely emails and followed my daughter and son-in-law's wishes. They coordinated everything from food tasting to hair/make-up appointments. When a change of ceremony venue was required, Jeanette tracked down the people in charge and got permission for us to hold the wedding in the LeFer Ballroom. On the day of the actual ceremony, everything was taken care of behind the scenes. All the flowers were in place at the ceremony location, the directional signs put up, and the reception area decorated. We celebrated the day and didn't miss a moment because the Simple to Elegant crew took care of all the details right down to providing the cake serving set. At the end of the evening, all the gifts and personal items were on a table, and we were able to leave without the hassle of cleaning up and resetting the hall. They did it all. Worth every penny for the deluxe service!

I was really glad I had a wedding planner because I would have been much more of a worried mess. They actually did all of my decorations which turned out great and all of my set up and tear down. I was very happy with them and they were always very nice to me. However, my mom got to the reception and was freaking out because one of my bridesmaids hand-made a decoration for my reception and it wasn't set up and she asked where it was and I think somehow they upset her by the way this situation was handled. I wasn't there so, I don't know. I asked if they could get me a plate of appetizers since I wouldn't be there for that and they did, that was nice and they brought me drinks as well. I thought this was well worth the money and would use them again!

We give Simple to Elegant our highest recommendation. From the initial stages of planning our daughter's wedding reception to the last decoration was taken down and packed away, Jeanette and Jeff were wonderful. They were available for all the random wedding questions that I had, and gave us great advice each and every time. Their professionalism is unmatched and they worked tirelessly to make our event exactly what we wanted - a beautiful, elegant party for 300 guests under a tent in our backyard. We couldn't have done it without them.

Jeanette and her crew took charge and everything ran like clock work. She was polite and professional to the wedding party, guests, other vendors, and parents. It is without hesitation, I recommend Simple to Elegant for your wedding. In fact, my youngest daughter is getting married July 12, 2014. I can hardly wait because I know Jeanette will make her dreams come true also.

Simple to Elegant made my daughters wedding a beautiful day, I had no stress, no worries they took care of everything for our family. I can say by far the most personable people to deal with, Jeff through out the process always made sure we did not have any questions, if we needed anything, if our daughter was ok, just always made sure we all were ok. I can say it was a pleasure to work with Jeff, Jeanette and the rest of the staff, they are the greatest group of people.

Simple to Elegant in Terre Haute, IN are wonderful people to have planning your wedding or event. Our daughters wedding day was perfect, from beginning to end. Jeanette & Jeff helped planning from the beginning. They took out all the stress of planning a wedding. Jeff & Shelia kept a large wedding party organized & happy. Jeff's creativity for the reception decorations, (using infinity glass with candles), made something simple look very elegant. They have the perfect name, Simple to Elegant. Most of all they make everyone feel special.

I work in Terre Haute and many of the work events I attend are coordinated/decorated by Simple to Elegant, so when I got engaged in early September '13 I knew that I would use them for all my wedding needs. For your first consultation appointment, you learn that you are able to use them for as much or as little as possible. Of course, I didn't want the stress of planning, decorating and/or tearing down during my big day, so I used their full services. It was awesome that they even coordinated with all my vendors, which made my wedding day less stressful. I loved that during the ceremony and reception they directed us on where we needed to be and what we needed to do next (toasts, dances, cake cutting, etc.). Best of all, the whole staff at Simple to Elegant are fabulous to work with! They’re not only professional, but they’re down to earth and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Simple to Elegant to anyone on any kind of budget. Thanks again Simple to Elegant for making my wedding day everything I ever dreamed of!

Simple to Elegant was amazing! They are very professional and I would recommend them to anyone which I have already! I did not have to worry about anything, even if I was thinking of something they had already thought of it and had taken care of it. I was not worried about food, the facility, DJ, the ceremony, nothing! Everything went smooth they keep me on track on what I should be doing etc. and in the long run I met some great people and some great friends :). I cannot wait to work with them during my sister's wedding in April 2014 :).

We got married in Kansas City and the "local" companies wanted $10 for a basic white table linen for a round table and $12 for a long table. Runners for the table were $5 for a shade that didn't even come close to matching ours. I found Simple To Elegant on here and the price was 50% cheaper then what we were going to be charged and they sent us a swatch so we could match the colors. They shipped the items to our venue 4 days before our wedding. We pulled the items out and put them on the table used them, boxed them up when we were done and sent them back. We Saved over $250 by renting through them AND they were the nicest people to work with. Thank you so much for working with us and for making us feel important. Simple To Elegant ROCKS!!!! Jeff you are the COOLEST!!! Thanks for keeping this stressed out bride at bay!

Simple to Elegant is absolutely amazing. I can honestly say that I don't know what I would have done without them. They were there by our side every step of the way, and were always available to answer any and all questions that we had. The knowledge that they have accumulated over the years is second to none. If you are looking for a wedding planner, Simple to Elegant should definitely be your choice!!!!

Very easy to work with-accepted all our ideas and incorporated them into our big day! Made the cutest bow napkins-always willing to add that extra touch to make your day extra special. She assisted with the reception and made everything flow so easily. Would recommend her to anyone. Takes the biggest load off the bride!

I recently got married in July and one of the smartest decisions that my mother and I made was to go to Simple to Elegant. I had over a year to plan my wedding and my mother and I were going to try to do everything. We came up with ideas for the decorations at the reception but with money, time, and stress of setting up and tearing down we wanted to explore our options. I am SO glad I did! My mom and I went to see Jeanette at Simple to Elegant. As soon as I walked into the building I felt a since of relief and excitement. All of the pictures and live set ups looked amazing. When we sat down with Jeanette and started talking about my wedding colors and what we could do as decorations there was no turning back! I was sold then and there. With the amazing decorations, low costs, and awesome staff I knew Simple to Elegant was a great decision. They set up my reception hall a day before the wedding and when I walked into the room that day tears came to my eyes. The set up was absolutely perfect and more than I could have ever imagined! There was no way my mom and I could have made the reception hall look the way Simple to Elegant did. I would recommend Simple to Elegant to any and every bride! Jeanette and the staff are very personable and make your big day a huge priority. They did a terrific job with my reception hall and made my wedding complete! Thanks! I couldn't have done it without them!

I am so thankful that I called Simple to Elegant to inquire about rentals for my daughter's wedding reception décor. My daughter had a vision of what she wanted her table decorations to look like, but as we started acquiring the necessary items it became apparent that it was going to be very costly and what would we do with it all after the wedding. When we met with Jeanette she listened to what my daughter wanted, made suggestions, and turned her vision into a reality. Our first intention was just to rent the necessary items and do the setting and cleaning up ourselves, but it turned out to be very economical to have Simple to Elegant do it all. I will never forget going to the reception hall the day before the wedding after it had been decorated. It was absolutely beautiful! Later that day my daughter told me that she went home and cried after leaving because of the part Simple to Elegant played in creating the wedding of her dreams. The caring friendliness and professionalism exhibited by Jeanette and her crew is second to none. I can't stop singing the praises of Simple to Elegant and how grateful I am for the part they played in my daughter's wedding.

Using Simple to Elegant was not a decision made lightly. We interviewed others and we felt Jeanette and her staff listened to us and made our "vision" a reality. We knew what we wanted and she helped us make it happen. The group helped us with our plan and organized the day with the utmost professionalism. Everything ran smoothly.
I have been told that we have set the bar high for other weddings. Simple to Elegant made it happen

It is very easy to rent from them because i rented linens and you dont have to hardly do anything when you are done using them. All you have to do is throw them in a bag and you dont have to worry about getting stains on them because they take care of all that!

I would HIGHLY recommend simple to elegant for any event planning, especially weddings!!! The price for having them do your wedding is worth every penny and then some!!!

In my view, a wedding planner is a huge help in reducing wedding planning stress, especially on the day of the special event. Jeanette at Simple to Elegant has been invaluable in the planning of all 3 of my children's weddings, not only for good advice as to other vendors in the area, but on the day of the wedding she took care of details I would never have even thought about. It is truly possible to enjoy this day, even as the host or hostess, because the details are left to someone else. Jeanette works very hard to carry out the bride and groom's wishes for their wedding day, and we appreciate that so much!

Jeanette from Simple to Elegant was a lifesaver!! She was only a phone call/e-mail away with all of my crazy questions! I never felt pressured to have anything at my wedding that I did not want and she was a great help with all the other vendors. Not once did I ever worry about ANYTHING; she always got it done. On the wedding day she was so organized and was even finished with decorations and EVERYTHING a head of schedule! I can only imagine how stressful the day would have been if we didn't have her! She and her staff were EXTREMELY professional throughout the entire year! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!

We could not have asked for anything more! Simple to Elegant were so nice to work with. They took care of everything during the planning process. They were very patient, kind, understanding, and were able to deliver everything we wanted. They are the nicest people to work with and when it was all said and done we felt like family. Thank you all so much for everything you have done for us and we will sing your praise to everyone. You far and away exceeded our expectations!!!

Simple to Elegant I cannot even begin to describe how beyond pleased I was with all your services! All along the way STE was there to answer any questions I had or to just to listen to a stressed out bride. Due to timing of wedding, I was unable to see the reception site until when I entered the room. I was blown away! I could not have pictured the room looking that way even in my dreams! STE far exceeded my expectations and I will recommend their services to anyone I know who is getting married! Thank you so much! My day would have not been near as special if it hadn't been for STE!

Simple To Elegant describes their business as the most complete wedding, reception, and event decorating and coordinating in the Wabash Valley. I want to put an emphasis on the word "complete". Jeff Winchester at STE was our coordinator and he was available for anything and everything we needed help with whether he was listening to us vent, giving reassurance or advice, finding an officiant, working with our florist to design our dream centerpieces, reserving chairs, setting up and tearing down our reception, you name it...He did it. We really enjoyed our meetings with Jeff and Jeanette. They made us feel comfortable like we were talking with friends and we are going to miss working with them. One of the best parts was that we didn't have to worry about anything the day of our wedding! Jeff even brought our plates to us during our reception so we could relax at dinner. Our decor was so beautiful and my husband and I were thrilled when we saw it all put together for the first time. I am a very indecisive person by nature. I doubted every decision I made while I was planning our wedding except for my decision in choosing Simpe To Elegant as our coordinator. I would recommend STE to absolutely anyone. They definintely made our wedding day complete. Thank you so much, Simple To Elegant!!

All I have to say is THANK GOODNESS FOR SIMPLE TO ELEGANT!! Without all of their help our wedding would never have been as beautiful as it was. They took so much stress off- just knowing they were there to help. Our rehearsal dinner even got changed to a different day at the last minute and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at Simple to Elegant!!!

We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon Simple to Elegant when planning our wedding! We had the additional complication of having to plan our wedding in the US while living in Germany.
However, thanks to Jeanette and hear team's great work, everything went as smoothly as if we were in town for all the planning. They helped us through all the details of planning, and offered great advice and recommendations. The decoration was also beautiful thanks to Jeanette's great insight.
I was also very pleased with their flexibility and understanding. Even 2 hours before the start of the wedding ceremony, an idea popped into my head, I called Jeanette, and she made it happen.
Thanks again for making our wedding such a wonderful and smooth event!
Nabeel.

Jeanette and staff were excellent to work with from beginning to end. Everything from cake, flowers, meals, etc was scheduled by Jeanette and she accompanied us to all vendor meetings and kept the event very well organized. She and the staff worked to locate the decorations requested by my daughter and willingly utilized decorations we provided. I do believe she worked to obtain the best prices. The day of the wedding was truly stress free. The day was truly perfect!
