Simply ballroom was the perfect venue for our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Rachelle was more than helpful and professional. I didn’t know what to expect the night of our event but she and her staff were there from start to finish, helping out, cleaning up and directing traffic. It honestly felt like I had a wedding coordinator and I did not expect that!! It was a lovely surprise. The venue was cost efficient and included many perks like decor, lighting and linens. They also allow (and encourage) you to bring in your own food and alcohol which allowed a lot of flexibility. We purchased the photo booth package as an addition and it was SO FUN! The photo book I got at the end of the night brought tears to my eyes. Overall, I was and am very impressed with Simply Ballroom. Rachelle and Alex were fantastic hosts!
We had our wedding reception at Simply Ballroom in early March and couldn’t have asked for a better time. The atmosphere was perfect , the owners were extremely helpful, and the party went off without a hitch. Rochelle worked with me multiple times before the event to ensure everything was perfect. Can’t thank Alex and Rochelle enough for everything they did for us. Highly recommend. Great people to work with.
Rachelle and Alex helped make my wedding so memorable. She had lists of DJs and bartenders so my job was easy (kind of). She even met with me last-minute when I was panicking and helped soothe my nerves.
Love love love them.
As a fellow vendor in the wedding industry, I know that Alex and Rachelle take great care in working with all of their couples. The service that Simply Ballroom gives in excellent. They have a lot of options, that allow couples to plan their day, their way, and stay within their budget as well. Simply Ballroom is flexible and professional AND gorgeous! They are a joy to work with.
We had our wedding 11/21 and with Covid and changes that were made I couldn’t be happier that this is the venue we had picked ! Everything was so beautiful! Alex I can’t thank enough, my train was stepped on and he helped fix it and Rachelle’s excitement and energy just made me feel so at ease. You guys are so much appreciated!
Alex and Rachelle are the go to for your wedding venue! They set up tables with linens and basic table decorations! They can make any brides dream a reality!
Simply Ballroom is the absolutely amazing!!! We are a catering business and Rachelle and her husband are not only a dynamic team, but business owners. I love watching them change your ceremony room into your reception hall and everytime is beautiful!
Rachelle communicates very promptly and to a bride this a key factor.
Very professional, quick, easy set up and tear down, extremely helpful and made sure everything went smooth. Highly recommend
Rachelle and her Husband over at Simply Ballroom made everything seamless and easy. Not only is it a beautiful venue, but the amount of work they put in and all the things the offer including add ons is nothing short of amazing!! Not to mention when my 1yr old daughter wouldn’t walk down the isle, and my song had already started I was able to hand her right off to Rachelle and move on knowing she was in good hands, they were able to occupy her u til the ceremony was complete. ❤️ If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! Definitely recommending to any and all!
Rachelle & Alex are unbelievably pleasant to work with. We are vendors but we are also having our wedding here. I have no doubt that this venue goes above and beyond to help their clients. As a DJ Company, we are here many times throughout the year, and every time is extremely pleasant. I would recommend them to any client of ours and we do regularly. Thanks for everything Rachelle and Alex!
They are so thorough with everything including contracts, unlimited meetings before hand!!!! so beautiful and diverse and right on the edge of the old market for photos!!!
This space truly made our day. It was so easy to work with Rachelle and Alex to get everything organized. They were very accommodating and the space is incredibly flexible!
We had our daughter and new son-in-law's wedding and reception at Simply Ballroom on August 1, and now that things are settling down a bit, I want to be sure to formally give Simply Ballroom a huge thank you for having such a wonderful venue. Not only is it a physically beautiful setting for a wedding and reception, but the the customer care is beyond wonderful. Rachelle was so responsive and positive and supportive during the entire year of planning, not just of the bride, but of the mother of the bride as well! And when the pandemic began to seriously impact our wedding plans, Rachelle went above and beyond to keep us informed of restrictions, updates, and alternatives as we navigated all the changes surrounding us. The wedding was beautiful and the happiest of days, and we appreciate Rachelle and her husband (the owners) and Simply Ballroom for helping to make it happen!
When initially booking Simply Ballroom we didn’t know that we’d be dealing with a pandemic, but Rachelle and Alex were able to make appropriate accommodations to make our wedding day special. Rachelle was quite open with communication to make sure that we knew exactly what to expect. Thanks to careful planning and guidance, we were able to have about 80 guests in the ceremony room with socially distanced rows of chairs. We look forward to celebrating again by having our reception at Simply Ballroom in November! Don’t forget to take advantage of the add-on specials, too!
Beautiful venue! They were very helpful in all phases of planning, they made it a lot less stressful!
I am so glad we had our wedding reception at Simply Ballroom. It was great working with them leading up to the day, and even smoother when the event was happening. They were super helpful with every question we had. They even recommend other vendors for our bar tender and DJ which also worked out great. The night was perfect.
Simply Ballroom has great space, professional people, great vendors (if you need them) and awesome props. Also, most things are included in the basic fee and monthly specials makes things spectacular. Already got another one of my good friends signed up for her wedding there next year!! They are awesome!!!!
This was the PERFECT venue to have our wedding at. Not only was this affordable, but Rachelle and her team were very flexible, allowed other vendors, and was so responsive with any questions or other inquiries through the whole process. I would suggest this venue over and over again to any bride!
My wedding at Simply Ballroom was absolutely amazing! I loved being able to bring in my own food and bar service. I also loved the extra decorations I could add on to my package. Everything was so affordable! Along with this, Rachelle (the owner) was always available to answer my questions and her and her husband were great coordinators for my wedding day. Simply Ballroom is truly about making the bride comfortable and happy. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone!
I just had my wedding June 22, 2019, at Simply Ballroom. Rachelle helped me SO much on Saturday, and she really helped calm my nervous, anxious self - I had an amazing night, and I think my guests did too (honestly, I don't know as I was too busy dancing my tail off in the beautiful lighting of the venue hahaha). I truly appreciated this venue, their recommended bartender Jordan, and Rachelle's husband, SOOO much! They all worked together to create a beautiful space and atmosphere suited to my day! Thank you so, so much! I can't say it enough! Also, it is just a beautiful venue!!! =)
Rachelle and her husband were AMAZING!! They made sure everything me and my husband needed was meet and how professional they were meant the world to me. If I had a question she answered it right away and with being newly engaged and knowing nothing about weddings she helped make that transition so smoothly. All I can say is that this place was GREAT!!! Thank you so much for everything you guys are the best!!!!
Simply Ballroom was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Rachelle and her husband were so amazing the day of our wedding with helping make sure everything went smoothly. Rachelle was super helpful during the planning process and was always accessible to answer my random questions over text or email! Simply Ballroom is very cost effective and does not try to nickel and dime you like most other venues. They really just want to make sure your day is all you ever wanted. Thank you for helping make my wedding day perfect in every way!
Simply Ballroom was, simply put, the perfect place to have our wedding. We found ourselves stressing over the little things, and Rachelle & her husband eased our minds with their attention to detail. There was absolutely no question left unanswered and no request too difficult for them to achieve for us. They worked tirelessly to make sure our day truly was the "best day ever". They did more than just provide rooms for us; they helped set up & tear down, time the ceremony perfectly, create a memory scrapbook, and graciously accepted a new obstacle to jump over - a power outage (they remained calm & communicative, and we didn't break a sweat about it)! This venue is perfect if you want a mix of DIY and some things taken care of for you. They provide all table cloths and chair covers, backdrops for the head table and cake table, ceremony arches that you can choose from, and a wide variety of lighting/decor add-ons for very reasonable prices. Their bar area is to die for, their ballrooms are very clean and chic, and their magic mirror photo booth is the perfect touch to create some additional fun during the reception! This place has everything you could ever want and more. We are so grateful that we chose Simply Ballroom for our ceremony and reception and will be talking about it for years to come! Thank you SO much for everything!
Such an amazing experience! Our original venue was affected by the flood and Rachelle worked with me on payments and everything! Was such an easy and delightful experience. I wouldn’t change a thing about the venue!
Simply Ballroom was an amazing venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Rachelle and Alex were amazing! They worked so hard to make our dream day come true. If you're looking for a budget-friendly venue, Simply Ballroom is the best. With a low venue price, they also offer upgrades that won't break the bank. They were also attentive and responsive. I absolutely reccomend Simply Ballroom!
I could not ask for a better place to hold my wedding! The ballrooms are gorgeous, the set up is amazing and the owners are a dream to work with! Very affordable with fun upgrades you can add to make your dream wedding happen! Call them now!! :)
Everything with Simply Ballroom went flawless. They were great with reminders and communication. If you want to be able to chose what kind of food you want or your dj and whatever else you want without paying extra or being said no to while having a beautiful place for your wedding and/or reception...this is definitely the place. My daughters wedding was a quirky one, Chinese food, donut cake, candy buffet. But we’re able to do it all without an extra charge.
When the day arrived, everything was ready to go and when I asked the owner about clean up...”take what things you want to keep and we get rid of everything else and do all the clean up.” This was amazing. We were able to pick up what we wanted and go home.
I would love to thank Rachelle and her staff for an amazing job and making life so much easier on the wedding front!!
Simply Ballroom was an amazing venue for our wedding reception. Rachelle and Alex were amazing. I would highly recommend checking out the Simply Ballroom before deciding on a venue.
If you are looking for a place for your wedding reception DO NOT make a choice until you have checked out Simply Ballroom and met with Rachelle and Alex! IF you want personal attention from a business who sincerely cares about the success of one of the most important nights of your life, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. If you want a great price for an outstanding product look no further. I am telling you this couple cares about you and your evening! They are knowledgeable about quality vendors in food and music - USE their referrals, their experience! If none of this sounds good go use someone else and pay MORE for LESS.
