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 o...
ur 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 pa...

r 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!

y 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 d...
ay 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!

verything 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!

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!!! =)

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 a...
ttention 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 would...

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!!

tion 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.
