If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is detailed, organized, creative and so talented then look no further than Simplicitee! Becky was so wonderful to work with and left no stone unturned in terms of details and planning. Her vast industry experience and bubbly personality makes her the best teammate to have on your side for your big day. Not only that, but I got to meet her mom in the process because she runs a wedding dress shop and she was equally amazing to work with, so it comes as no surprise that Becky would be fantastic too. Becky always had our best interest at heart, and when she stepped in fully 2 months out from our wedding my husband and I both breathed sighs of relief because we knew she had our back and we could focus on other things about our wedding while Becky handled all vendor communications. She always brought her A game to every meeting accompanied by a positive attitude that eased our stress. Her professionalism is unmatched and she will ensure your day is perfect! We are so grateful to have had Becky plan our wedding and even more grateful to have made such a great friend in her 😊. Hire Simplicitee - you won’t regret it!!
We are so thankful to have found Becky for our wedding day. She was the absolute best to work with and made sure our wedding day was exactly how we wanted. We live 7 hours away from Chicago and she made all the planning and wedding day (nearly) stress free :) Her attention to detail, timelines, and coordinating all the vendors was so helpful. We would've been completely lost without her. Thanks again!!!
We couldn’t be more grateful to Becky, Shelby, and Vanessa for making our wedding day absolutely PERFECT! In the weeks leading up to our big day, they were incredibly attentive and proactive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. They reached out to all our vendors to finalize our timeline and coordinated every aspect seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, their expertise and dedication truly shined. We didn’t have to worry about a thing—they took care of everything, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We cannot stress enough how much they contributed to making our wedding unforgettable. If you're looking for coordinators who go above and beyond, Becky, Shelby, and Vanessa are the dream team you need!
I am so beyond grateful that I had Becky/ Simplicitee as my wedding coordinator for my near 300 person wedding in Chicago! I chose the month of/ day of package on her site and definitely credit my sanity to her and her team member Shelby. Becky and Shelby were the absolute dream team with fielding vendor calls, creating schedules, assigning agenda tasks, and just being so thorough and detail oriented to bring my creative vision to life. They were so easy to work with and took the stress out of planning which allowed for me to just relax and enjoy my special day in its' entirity. I will 1000% be recommending this company to all of my other friends getting engaged!
I can’t say enough about how incredible Becky and her team are at Simplicitee. She honestly saved our wedding and I am SO thankful I went with her. We chose Becky for final phase planning about 5-6 weeks out from our date because we felt we still had so many little details and logistics to button up and she absolutely delivered. I never thought I needed an event planner or help, but I was completely wrong. Becky thought of things my mom and I would have never even considered and made everything come together so flawlessly. She thought of every tiny detail imaginable. Every single guest said this was the best wedding they have ever been to and it really really was. I will recommend Becky and Simplicitee for life.
We hired Becky from Simplicitee as our wedding coordinator shortly after we got engaged and could not have been happier with our decision! We really enjoyed working with Becky and truly appreciated all of her hard work, guidance, and professionalism throughout the entire process. For example, when we were swamped with vendor emails and communications a few weeks before the wedding, Becky stepped in countless times to provide prompt and thoughtful responses to each vendor. I can’t emphasize enough how much time, work, and stress that saved us. In addition, Becky put together a comprehensive day of schedule, set up multiple meetings to walk us (and our family members 😊) through it, and kept everything running seamlessly on the big day. She also gave us great ideas for the wedding and things to keep in mind as we were planning. Becky’s efforts helped give us the perfect wedding day and we will always be so grateful for that!
As the owner and Head DJ of Luniks Entertainment, I've had the pleasure of working with Becky from Simplicitee and her team on numerous occasions. Becky is an exceptional wedding planner who truly stands out in the industry. Becky helps through each step of the wedding planning process, facilitating seamless communication with other vendors and always prioritizing her clients' needs and to-do's. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she works effortlessly with other wedding professionals to ensure everything is perfectly coordinated. What truly sets Becky apart is her genuine focus on what the bride and groom really want. She takes the time to understand their vision and works tirelessly to make their wedding a true success. Her dedication and passion for creating unforgettable weddings are evident in every event she plans. I wholeheartedly recommend Simplicitee and Becky to any couple looking for a wedding planner who is detailed-oriented, collaborative, and deeply committed to making their wedding day an unforgettable experience!
One of the best things we did for our wedding was hire Becky! I was able to forget about all details on our wedding day and just soak up every moment with my husband. If anything went wrong, we never heard about it. It was an absolutely perfect day. From coordinating with all of our vendors to placing all of our details and capturing so many beautiful moments on video for us, Becky did it all! We are so grateful for our friends that recommended Becky from their 2022 wedding.
We hired Simplicitee as our partial wedding planner for our wedding in June of 2024. Becky from Simplicitee was a stellar wedding planner and ensured we had the PERFECT day! Becky diligently helped us through each step & detail of the wedding planning process and ensured no stone was left unturned before our big day. She was always willing to answer our many questions, prioritize our to-do list, problem-solve, read our contracts, facilitate meetings, & provide us with ideas or recommendations. Becky efficiently communicated with us and the vendors we hired to create the perfect wedding day timeline. If we ever ran into a complication with a vendor, she did an excellent job advocating for what we wanted and felt was fair on our behalf. On the day of our wedding, she ensured everything ran incredibly smoothly. All her hard work made our day just that much more seamless and magical. You could tell how experienced, confident, and creative she was as a planner. We always trusted her intuition and recommendations. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in hiring her as your wedding planner. Becky was well worth the investment. You will be in great hands with Becky!
Where do I begin? I CANNOT say enough amazing things about Becky and her wonderful team (Go Shelby and Chelsea!) at Simplicitee. I am an extremely organized, detail-oriented person. I am also a Creative in Advertising, so I have a lot of opinions about how things should look and feel. The type who has difficulty initially trusting others to do a job at the level of organization, quality and detail I expect. I'll never forget my first phone call with Becky: After asking her a bunch of questions about her qualifications, I asked her: "What is the #1 thing that I CAN DO to make the process go smoothly?" Her reply? "Just trust and have confidence that we will take care of you." I thought this was a bold thing to say, because trust is earned. But I leaped and I trusted. And....I am here to tell you that Simplicitee earned my trust with flying colors every step of the way. I chose the "Day of" wedding coordination (which starts a month before your wedding) with the add-on DIY services. Becky directed and coordinated all the planning up until my wedding day. But then her wedding coordinator, Shelby, was the actual person who was present and executing on my wedding day (along with her assistant, Chelsea, who helped with the DIY stuff). With each phone call and in-person meeting that we had with Becky and Shelby, I grew more and more impressed with this team. They were so present, so on top of every detail, so wise, so helpful, so organized (Becky, especially, was always full of GREAT ideas that showed her keen experience in the space). I never ONCE questioned their reasoning or follow-up (and I am a strong personality!). In fact, they made everything even better and weren't afraid to gently push back on things and suggest alternative ways that always ended up being the BETTER way. Plus, they displayed great senses of humor balanced with the utmost professionalism with every interaction. I fell in love with them more and more. They were so much fun to work with! My biggest concern was whether they could properly execute my vision for all the DIY stuff. I gave them a detailed PowerPoint of all the decorations and inventory of things we would be providing, how we wanted it to look, etc. It was a lot to keep up with!!! But they KEPT UP WITH IT ALL. And when the penultimate day for them to earn my trust came—the wedding day—they executed everything FLAWLESSLY. I was absolutely blown away by how hard Shelby and Chelsea worked behind the scenes, attended to every detail and made my husband and I feel so safe and taken care of. Shelby was SO ON TOP OF EVERYTHING and she was so kind and professional the entire day. I especially loved how they did our Gallery Wall of photos!! I met Chelsea that day and she also couldn't be more gracious or attentive or capable. They hit all the DIY stuff out of the park! Flow was perfect. Timing was perfect. Everything was perfect. It was the best money we spent on our wedding. The ultimate compliment? We had an absolute blast on our wedding day without a care in the world. So many people came up to us during and after and told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. And so much of that is thanks to Simplicitee. Seriously, I am President of their fan club. Simplicitee Ladies? You can hire me as your spokesperson. I'm here for you! Thank you for being here for me and my husband on our special day!
THE BEST. I truly cannot say enough great things about working with Becky. If you're on the hunt for a coordinator, look no further - she's your girl. Becky was recommended to me by my photographer, and my expectations were beyond exceeded. Her attention to detail is unmatched, she was so helpful with answering my hundreds of wedding questions, and really allowed us to breathe during the last couple months before our big day. I wish I had booked the full wedding planning package; I can only imagine how much time and stress she would have saved me.
From countless convos with our vendors, to leading our rehearsal, making us super in-depth timelines, decor setup and teardown, bustling my dress, and distributing our tips - she does it all. We didn't have to think about any of those things that truly added up, and she allowed us to really enjoy our day. I got more compliments on her than I can count - our families and bridal parties were so grateful she was there to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Also, just a genuinely good person that you'll be happy to have around. 10000/10, book her now and thank me later.
Becky is the best! She is professional, organized, friendly and helps make your vision come to life with as little stress to you as possible. We used the partial planning process, which gave us her guidance and organization while still having some fun and independence with the planning process. On the day-of, her and her assistant made sure every detail we discussed were executed to perfection, and I did not have to do a thing.
Becky and Shelby were awesome! So responsive, organized, calm, and fun. I highly recommend to anyone searching for the perfect planners.
Do not think twice about hiring Becky - she was thanked MULTIPLE times by our parents in their speeches. That is how AMAZING she is and how much she meant to both of our families. The first time I met with Becky I felt that she truly understood that I wanted it to feel personalized and me. She delivered and beyond! I don't think this wedding could've turned out the way it did without her creativity and leadership. We had a lot of great vendors but our venue was not one of them - and she handled it so professionally and with stride. She knew the venue was unique and we did not want to give it up. She made it WORK! I relied on her for everything for 1.5 years and on the day of she kept us rowdy kids in check as well. You would think she has this GIANT team but it truly is just her leadership, connections with vendors, and her ability to create the vision you want and execute it. I honestly wish I was doing another event so I can hire her again. Do not think twice - have a meeting with Becky and let her take it from there!
Becky was AMAZING! The last month (when friends said it got the hardest) was the easiest, breeziest time of the wedding! I felt able to unload the work onto Becky and she interpreted our contracts and vision into a real, tangible vision. We had DIY plants for our florals- and not only did Becky not question the feasibility, but she worked tirelessly on the event day to make sure every plant was where it needed to go. We truly couldn’t have done it without her. We are so grateful to Becky and her team, and anyone needing a month of planner needs to look no further!
Becky was extremely professional, organized, and thoughtful in helping us plan our wedding. She went above and beyond to connect us with the best vendors and follow up on any requests we made. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Chicago!
Aside from your soon-to-be-spouse, Becky will be the most important person at your wedding. :) Becky was our full-service wedding planner. We had the the privilege of working with her for nearly 15 months. She managed the entire process, created a gorgeous mood board based on our vision, hired the best vendors, and coordinated everyone day-of. She quietly handled small mishaps and adapted when we had to alter our schedule. She and her associate, Stephanie, were a dream to work with. As a busy bride, I was so grateful for all of her work. Our guests raved about the night, saying that this was the best wedding they had been to. My partner and I had a blast, dancing and eating the night away. The next day, she sent us a beautiful Instagram reel she built of the wedding day. :D We could not have imagined a better day.
If I could give Becky 10 stars, I would. We weren't sure if we wanted or needed a day of coordinator when we started our wedding planning process. We just had our wedding on 1/27/2024, and I could not have imagined it without Becky. She handled everything in a timely and detailed manner and was attentive to our needs and vision on the wedding day. She had a solution to any issue, and worked well with all of our vendors. I truly can't recommend Simplicitee enough.
I highly recommend Simplicitee for month of coordination! Becky was amazing leading up to the wedding. It was so great to have someone else coordinating all the emails and details. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with!
On the wedding day I truly felt no stress at all, knowing that Shelby and Nina had everything handled. Everything went so smoothly, the decorations they set up looked amazing because of them, and I was really able to just have fun and enjoy the day.
I cannot recommend Simplicitee enough!
Becky is a lifesaver! I cannot imagine planning my wedding without her. She met with us once a month to give us pointers and tips as well as to-do's. Having a clear idea of what I needed to get done made the whole process very simple and stress-free. I was completely relaxed on the day of our wedding and I credit Becky for that! She stepped up whenever I needed anything and was there to ask questions I never would have thought to ask. She dealt with vendors, wrangled people for pictures, and kept everyone on schedule. Do yourself a favor and hire Becky for your wedding!
Hire Becky!
I am a pretty type A person and a big planner. I was very back and forth about if I even needed a day of coordinator. After working with Becky, the answer is YES I DID. She worked with us the month leading up to our wedding and made sure every logistical situation I hadn't even thought of was handled. She lead all the communication with our vendors and helped us with every last minute detail. Wedding days go SO FAST and I'm so grateful I didn't have to spend a single second of my day worrying about coordination or anything going wrong.
Becky, our wedding day-of-coordinator, was an absolute superstar! Her professionalism and unmatched talent were the backbone of our perfect day. With a seamless touch, she orchestrated every detail flawlessly, making the entire event feel effortless and magical. Becky's expertise and dedication made our wedding an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!
The best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process was hiring Becky as our day-of-coordinator. From our first meeting with Becky, it was clear that she was something special! She is so, so talented at what she does. We cannot imagine having gone through all of the wedding chaos without her. Becky and her associate, Melissa, were an absolute dream to work with and were the reason we had such a perfect, worry-free wedding day. For all future brides and grooms looking at hiring a day-of-coordinator for your wedding day, I can say with confidence it’s not just a day-of-coordinator that you need. You need Becky!
We worked with Simplicitee and Becky throughout our entire planning process. She was wonderful to work with and helped us each step of the way. She was there to tour venues, help make recommendations when needed, and meet with all the vendors we hired. She was able to keep us on budget and helped us stick to our planning timeline. She made the day of our wedding an absolute breeze. She set up the venue, worked with all of our vendors, and squashed any issues that came up without us hearing about it. She also helped with any questions or needs our wedding party or guests had. I would highly recommend her and Simplicitee for your event!
I cannot say enough good things about simplicitee. I used them for day of coordinator and I would never 100% suggest anyone who wants to have a smooth wedding day to use them. They made my wedding day worry-free from the month before. Always responded quickly to my questions leading up to the day and offered amazing suggestions when needed. Day of was flawless. I had zero worries and all my bridesmaids said that was the smoothest wedding day they experienced. I was completely relaxed because I knew I had a great team. 11/10 recommend.
We used Becky as our day-of coordinator and she exceeded our expectations. It was 100% worth the investment knowing that all of the logistics were taken care of for the month leading up to our wedding. We found out about two weeks before our wedding that our venue coordinator was leaving and we were assigned a new one. I know that if I didn't have Becky I would have been really worried about it, but she took care of everything. She was so organized and really eased my mind. Our photographer also told us having Becky made her life so much easier because she had our timeline all sorted out and coordinating logistics of the first look went so much more smoothly. I could not have gotten through planning without a day-of coordinator and I seriously cannot recommend Becky enough.
Becky (Simplicitee) is attentive, patient, thoughtful, and absolutely amazing to work with. I could not recommend her more strongly to anyone looking for a fabulous and stress-free wedding day.
From the time we first started planning our wedding, through all the changes and loops of organizing our vendors, to the final payoff of our wedding day, Becky (Simplicitee) was attentive, responsive, and extremely helpful to us. She made recommendations to us that not only helped shape our wedding into a beautiful ceremony and reception, but also a day that our vendors and guests all enjoyed and felt comfortable with. The ease that she brought to everyone - us, our vendors, and our guests - was immeasurably important.
I've already recommended Simplicitee to a few friends who are engaged and beginning to do their own wedding planning. I will continue to recommend her service, and would consider it one of the most important decisions we made in the wedding planning process.
Becky, you are awesome - thanks for making our day memorable, special, and perfect.
Becky is the ABSOLUTE BEST to work with! If you are even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, 1. Do it and 2. Book with Becky! I had no idea where to even begin with some of the wedding planning process, but Becky knew exactly what to do and by when. She made it so easy to book with vendors that I still needed, communicate with vendors, organize information, emails, payments, etc. and also create a seamless timeline for the day off. My wedding day was stress free because of her, without a doubt. I truly looked forward to our monthly meetings together because she is so easy and fun to work with. I can’t wait to see how her business grows because she is absolutely wonderful!
Your search for the ideal wedding planner has ended, because Becky is your gal. We had the pleasure of working with her for a year and a half leading up to our wedding, and we cannot say enough good things about her. I personally love planning events and have done so my whole life, but I did not comprehend how much more work goes into a wedding. Becky was an absolute hero for us, thinking of solutions to everything before we even knew that there was a problem. She made the process so relaxed and enjoyable, all while making sure that we adhered to the timelines and budget that we agreed to from the beginning. We live in Seattle and were planning a wedding in Chicago, and we would not have been able to do it without her boots on the ground. Her prices are extremely reasonable and knowing how much she did for us, we would have been willing to pay much more than we did.
She is an excellent balance of everything that you need. She is an advocate for you when you are negotiating with the vendors. She has a very soothing personality that makes you feel calmer when you are overwhelmed. She is well organized and tracks everything in a spreadsheet, along with meetings every once in a while, so that you always know what's coming. She will push you when you need to be pushed, and has strong opinions based on her years of experience in the industry. Because of her vast network in Chicago, she can reach out to someone last minute to put together a song recording for you or get your mother-in-law a better hotel room (both of which happened for us). If you want to think of some creative ideas, Becky is ready to Pinterest brainstorm with you. She will ask you and vendors about details that you didn't even know you needed to consider, and will save you from dealing with a headache down the line. She brings an enthusiasm and joy to the process that is contagious for her clients.
I would highly recommend the full service, because she was really able to get to know us over time. On the wedding day, we had built up complete trust that she would make the right call and represent us without having to be involved. On the day of the wedding, there were multiple extreme events that occurred that could have ruined the night for the guests (including a key person having to run to the hospital and traffic that quadrupled the shuttle time from the venue). The best part? We didn't find out about either of them until days later! Her number one priority is making sure that you are enjoying your day, and she shoulders the burdens so that the bride and groom don't have to do so themselves. We had our dream wedding, from the rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks on the Chicago river, to the rooftop ceremony with the city skyline view, to an excellent party in an artsy warehouse in Pilsen with a live band, flipbook photobooth, and open bar. We wouldn't change one thing, and with the amount of compliments we have gotten from our guests, I would say that they agree.
It's impressive to see someone with such talent and passion for what they do, and we are so lucky that we came across Simplicitee when we were searching! She is now scaling out her business, and we cannot wait to see what she does in the future. She is one of those rare people that you bet on, because you know that anything she touches will be naturally elevated. We appreciate you more than you know, Becky!
We hired Becky for full planning for our backyard wedding hosted at my grandmother's home. We literally had the perfect wedding day, and Becky was the one who pulled it all together both on the day itself, and over the year and a half that we worked together.
Her vendor recommendations were spectacular, and she also had great relationships with these vendors that certainly helped with a more unique event like ours. She kept me on track with what needed to be done (with meetings, to-do lists, guides, and templates), and while planning a wedding is never easy, I couldn't have imagined doing it without her.
If you're reading this and you're looking for a planner/coordinator who is fun, creative, organized, and amazing at their job, hire Simplicitee!!
We hired Becky and co for her "Day of Coordinator" services and are so glad we did. Becky helped us to stay sane and organized during our last month of planning our wedding. We absolutely loved having her services - she was incredibly professional, friendly, and helped keep our day simple and fun. Her experience helped us prepare for events/situations we never would have thought to prepare for, and as a result, we were able to have a streamlined and fun wedding because we weren't managing a million little fires the day of. She even was able to help us come up with a solution for a literal last minute emergency for a guest that couldn't attend. We recommend her and her team 100% for your wedding!
Becky is an absolute must when you’re planning your big day! We had Becky as our day of coordinator and felt her support and expertise well before the day of. She is always ten steps ahead and does it all with grace and ease. I can’t imagine how anyone can go through the wedding process without Becky by their side! She is truly a bride’s best friend. She made the wedding of my dreams come true and listened to my vision and brought it to life!
Becky and her associate, Shelby, were an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day! I was on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator (especially because my venue, CAA, provided an on-site event coordinator), but it was worth every penny! I'm super type-A and thought I covered all the logistics and little details, but there are just SO many things for a wedding... Becky was on top of EVERY detail: Reviewing all the vendor contracts - which alone, took a lot of work off my plate, tip guides, wedding timeline, logistics with the florist, band, event coordinator at venue, photographer, wedding party, after party coordination, other various suggestions... the list goes on. Her timeline was a great resource for my bridesmaids and kept everyone aware and organized during the day. I felt SO present on my wedding day, and I owe Becky and Shelby for their help so I could experience the day to the fullest. The pricing was also very reasonable! I compared a handful of day-of coordinators. Overall AMAZING value! Can't go wrong with the Simplicitee team!
Becky was on it! Thanks for thinking through all the details, coordinating things with vendors, and generally helping us focus on the important stuff on the big day.
In the first few weeks of wedding planning, it became obvious we would be juggling a lot with vendors/venues/scheduling/etc. Our wedding is supposed to be about us, not directing vendor setup! That’s when Becky came to our rescue. We honestly can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without her. From working with our vendors to getting people in the right place at the right time, we were able to focus on the joys of the day, and not the behind the scenes work required to make that possible. If you want to enjoy your wedding instead of coordinating your wedding, Simplicitee wedding planning is an absolute must.
Becky was INCREDIBLE to work with. From our month before calls to day of everything was beyond organized and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Could not recommend Simplicitee enough! Thank you for everything Becky!
Becky was absolutely amazing to work with. She took so much of the stress of planning off our shoulders and she was absolutely invaluable the day of. Her monthly check-ins helped me stay on track and she gave excellent advice and vendor recommendations. The day of, we had a couple of hiccups that I truly didn't even know about until she had already resolved them. She was worth every penny and I now consider her a friend. Easily the best money we spent on our wedding. I will recommend her to all my friends when they're planning weddings.
HIRE BECKY RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!!
Omg, I cannot express enough how much of a game changer it was to work with Becky. The first time we talked with her we could just tell that not only was she professional and organized, but that she has a true passion for her work!
We hired her for partial planning and the monthly meetings we had with her not only kept us on track, but also let us ask any questions we had to someone who has planned a ton of weddings.
She also went to bat for us and helped us stand our ground with vendors when we needed that extra support to make sure our vision was seen and followed!
Then on wedding day, I had no stress about the details and could just be in the moment with my bridal party because Becky has a very calming energy but is also firm and focused.
We miss her already!
Becky was so wonderful to work with!!! I truly would have lost my mind if it wasn't for her. She helped with way more than I anticipated, from organizing details before the big day to making everything run smoothly on the day of our wedding! It's like she knew what I wanted before I even knew myself. I can't say enough good things about her and the amazing job she did as our day-of coordinator. I will really miss working with her, and I would hire over and over again!
Becky was awesome! She ran our wedding so well and we didn't have to worry at all about it. She was considerate, prompt and helped guide us through the last month of the planning process.
Becky was our Day of Coordinator for our March 2023 wedding and WOW did we choose the right person for our day. Becky was calm and professional throughout the entire process, and was our right hand to execute the day of our wedding. She treated our vendors, friends, and family with genuine care and was a natural extension of us that day—navigating dress breaks, manual wheelchair ramps, large group transitions and more with a fun, easy demeanor. We relied on Becky in the months leading up to the wedding for vendor recommendations and timeline support. We're sharing both of our perspectives below in case you're on the fence!
From the Grooms's perspective:
To be honest, at first I didn't understand the value of a day of coordinator and why it was necessary for us to have one for our big day. That was until we started working with Becky in the months leading up to our wedding. She kept us on schedule for the mountain of tasks we needed to do before our wedding day. As the day got closer, Becky helped us navigate the pace of the day, and helped facilitate our somewhat unconventional ideas. On our wedding day, Becky was a friendly face who knew the ins and outs and helped keep us calm in moments of stress. Becky also blew me away with and how great she was with family members and friends. Becky is extremely prepared, for example she has a multilevel tackle box that she used to quickly sew and repair my wife's wedding dress multiple times. All in all, Becky was an excellent fit for us and an integral part of our wedding day.
From the Bride's perspective:
Despite my husband's initial hesitation ;), I knew we needed a day of coordinator to help facilitate our wedding day and take pressure off of us as a couple. When talking with coordinators, we looked for someone who was professional, kind and experienced—all of which Becky fit to a T. We built a custom package with Becky to meet monthly leading up to the wedding. Our calls were relaxed and fun, but important for us to stay on task and have a sounding board for our ideas. In the final month of planning, Becky took over communication with our vendor team which allowed us to focus on the finishing details. She was prompt and didn't let a single detail slip. On the big day, Becky was a familiar face to help us navigate the inevitable speed bumps of a large group event. She allowed us to focus on the important things—our marriage, our friends and family—while being ready at a moment's notice for unexpected surprises. We trusted Becky wholeheartedly to run the day and be the go-to for our vendor team and family members in needed of assistance. The best part: Becky had become such a natural part of our wedding team that it was a joy to see her face in the crowd and spend the day with her.
Becky was incredible. She took so many stressors off my plate and made sure that my wedding ran smoothly. She is creative, able to think on the fly, and goes above and beyond to make the day as special as possible. I truly couldn't have done it without her!
I can honestly say I would have been lost without Becky & Shelby during our planning process. Becky was so thorough and helpful leading up to our wedding. At one point I asked Mark why I was not feeling any stress... and we knew it was because all the details were being handled by Becky! Shelby was an actual GODSEND on our big day. I felt fully taken care of and supported and knew everything was going to be incredible thanks to her. I had some wild requests, but Shelby really went above and beyond! I cannot express enough how thankful I am to Simplicitee for helping make our day so special. Highly recommend!
Becky was amazing from start to finish. I would hire her again in an instant. We had no idea how to plan a wedding and Becky guided us every step of the way. What I love about her is that she is very flexible. She'll mold her communication style to you and she'll change her level of support depending on what you need. She has great insight and was able to help us find our voice and style. Our guests loved our wedding and it is all thanks to Becky.
Hiring Becky as our day-of coordinator for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From organizing all of our vendors’ timelines into one detailed schedule to making sure that everything (and everyone) was on time and running smoothly on our wedding day, Becky did a fantastic job coordinating all of the moving pieces of our wedding day. Not only did she alleviate the pre-wedding stress of dealing with vendors and coordinating timelines/logistics, I was able to truly enjoy our wedding knowing that Becky had everything under control.
You absolutely must hire Becky for your wedding. She is hands down the most incredible wedding planner and she is just the most wonderful person. We had her as our "Day of Planner" but Becky truly went above and beyond that role. I came into the wedding process thinking I could do it all or most of it by myself and I couldn’t have been more wrong. (Becky saved us!) In all things we spent money on for our wedding, Becky was the most valuable of all. She kept us organized, she helped us checking the million and half boxes that there are are for a wedding, and honestly she kept us both from losing our mind during the wedding planning process. Becky easily understood our ‘wedding vision’ and just ‘got us’ as a couple. She was able to use that to give us helpful ideas and suggestions during wedding planning meetings but to also make quick decisions for us on the day of wedding. Becky is organized, she has an answer or a solution for your questions (or she will find it!) and her process of helping you plan your event is seamless. Finally and I think most importantly, Becky is so kind, so passionate about her job, and truly excited for her clients. It was clear from day one of meeting Becky until our wedding day that Becky was invested in making our wedding beautiful and stress-free and she could not have done a better job.
The whole Simplicitee team, but particularly Becky, was INCREDIBLE. They were flexible with meeting times, extremely helpful with timeline of when to do what tasks as we approached wedding day, and had amazing suggestions of little and big things to make the wedding day perfect. The whole team was very responsive, flexible, professional, and FUN to work with. Finding Simplicitee on the knot was a true blessing, our big day wouldn't have been as spectacular as it was without them!! HIGHLY recommend!
Becky is amazing! We used Becky for our day-of coordination and couldn't have been happier! Prior to the wedding, she created a detailed timeline for us and the vendors which was a lifesaver. She joined us for our final walkthrough and had questions we hadn't even thought to ask. She made our wedding day run so smoothly and took away any stress we might have had. She was super organized and she took care of all the vendors & moving pieces the day of (which is a lot!). She also took some great behind-the-scenes photos and videos which were so nice to have. I would definitely recommend Becky for your day-of coordinator!
If you are debating getting a wedding planner I cannot tell you how it is the best wedding investment. But not just any wedding planner...BECKY. While planning my wedding I was finishing but my masters program AND there were supply chain issues and it was the pandemic. Amidst all of this Becky was an organized icon and was full of positivity. Becky has a "yes and" attitude. I shared details on what I wanted the vision to be and she EXCEEDED expectations. She is so masterful at taking charge while always focusing on what the bride and groom want. You know Becky is amazing because several of my guests at the wedding remarked "Becky is incredible, if I wasn't already married, I would hire her."
If she is available for your date, look no further - book with Becky. Thanks to her and the rest of the amazing wedding crew, my wedding day was really the best day ever. Words are not enough to convey how much I appreciated her support, expertise, encouragement, creativity, and organization!
Becky was the absolute best to work with! We had her for our day of/month of and she was involved every step of the way. She helped with any issues we had with vendors and helped to keep the big day running smoothly. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her! Thank you so much Becky!! ❤ Heather & Anthony!
We'd give her six stars if we could! Becky was incredible and our special day wouldn't have been as special without her help! Becky is thorough and keeps the trains on schedule-exactly what you want from a wedding coordinator. Our videographer vendor failed to show up but Becky helped us to keep our eyes on the tasks at hand. We're so glad we found her and you will be too!
Hire Becky ASAP! Becky was our Day of Planner and I can’t imagine our day without her. Not only was she organized, but she is such a joy to be around. She set up all of our personal touches(frames, welcome sign, etc…) and our day went so smooth. I will definitely be hiring Becky again for any other big events in the future.
If you are looking for a Chicagoland wedding planner, look no further! Becky is an absolute dream to work with. Shes incredibly organized, has amazing attention to detail and truly cares about making wedding day the best day for her couples. Becky took all the stress out of our wedding day for us and we are so thankful to have had her as our wedding planner! 100% would recommend her/hire her for future event needs.
We almost didn’t hire a wedding coordinator for our big day, but we are so happy we did. Becky tied all the loose ends together in the last few weeks leading up to our wedding day. She is incredibly organized, efficient, and just so sweet. She kept us on schedule throughout our ceremony and reception, remembering many key details that we otherwise would’ve forgotten. Couldn’t have made it through without her. Thank you Becky!
Becky was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was worth every penny and probably more! She was compassionate, patient, organized, and friendly. When we had some things not go to plan last minute she went above and beyond for us while we figured it out. Would recommend having her, couldn't have imagined our day without her!
We hired Becky to help plan our tented backyard wedding. From the beginning Becky was clear about flexing her services to the needs of the bride, which we greatly benefited from. When we brought her on, we had already made a lot of the “big” decisions like venue, DJ, etc. but seeing as we had to think of and execute all of the nitty gritty details an event space would typically manage on our behalf, our wedding required a significant amount of foresight and detail management. Becky was there every step of the way to make sure no details were missed and we had everything we needed to have the day of our dreams! She is a calming presence, communicative and has a solution for everything. For example, on the day of, we had storms and the entire backyard was wet and muddy, so on top of your typical wedding management, Becky hustled to lay out mats to cover the mud and make our guests as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend her for your wedding needs!
Becky and Alicia showed up early in the day for the wedding. They were on top of every detail and the day went flawlessly--couldn't have asked for a better wedding for our daughter! We hosted the wedding under tents in our backyard, and Becky made sure we thought of everything. We can't give her enough praise for pulling this off the way she did!
There aren't enough words to explain how incredible Becky was. We were on the fence about hiring a coordinator when I met her by chance at a tour of our venue. It was meant to be. She managed EVERYTHING for us. Starting a month before our wedding, she coordinated with our vendors, created our timelines, and became our main point of contact. She answered ridiculous and weird questions for us. She helped set up the venue. She helped the bridal party get ready. She assisted the caterers. She did it all. We found out a week after the wedding that she even put out a few (metaphorical) fires. The fact that we didn't even know anything had gone wrong speaks volumes to her professionalism and calm demeanor. The day was perfect, and we owe it in large part to Becky.
Becky is kind, funny, and has an incredibly calming presence. I'm a normally high-strung person, and, as a bride, that was only amplified. I have a hard time relinquishing control of anything. Becky is the only person I would have trusted with wedding details, and I'm glad I did.
Becky was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. If we did it all over again, she is the first call we would make. 5 stars. 2 thumbs up. 10/10. All the good things.
Wow I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Becky of Simplicitee!! She helped us pull off a large, extravagant downtown Chicago wedding while my husband and I planned from across the country (we live in California now). She’s organized, knowledgeable and communicative. Becky always brought a can-do attitude along with a calming presence throughout the planning process and on the actual weekend. She coordinated with all our vendors and took care of so many details we never could have handled ourselves. Especially as the weekend drew closer, we texted and called Becky with questions and issues nonstop it felt like. She handled everything like a professional and made sure our weekend went off without a hitch. Thank you Becky, we encourage any couple getting married to book Simplicitee!!!
Becky came highly reccomended by a friend, and exceeded our expectations. My fiancé and I got married in Feb of 2022 on the tail end of a COVID spike which gave us crazy anxiety. Becky was the Xanax in human form and her organization and communication was such a source of comfort. Becky coordinated seamlessly with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page leading up to the event. She created a day of itinerary that was left in a shared google drop box so that any changes were easily added and communicated. As much as we left room for error or delay in our timeline, everything went to smoothly that it almost wasn’t necessary.
On the day of the wedding, Becky checked in on me to see if I needed anything and reminded me to enjoy my day. I was able to enjoy the day to the fullest due to her preparation and execution. I was extremely stubborn about using a wedding planner and insisted I could plan everything, but was totally kidding myself. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a Becky, my only regret was not hiring her sooner in my planning process.
