Simply Breathe Events

ional. As someone who has strong opinions about what I liked, but absolutely no ability to envision how things will look once they come together, Tiffany's ability to form of cohesive vision and convey it to me through her design deck was so helpful. In addition to having a beautiful vision, Tiffany was attentive to our budget constraints and recommended top-notch vendors who were all fantastic. She broke up all the wedding to-dos into very manageable monthly tasks and followed through to completion. Tiffany is very responsive to emails, calls and texts. I often had a response within a few hours and never once had to follow up on an unanswered email. What truly set Tiffany apart was her extraordinary support when my mom had to undergo unexpected surgery just two weeks before my wedding. Tiffany quickly helped us hire a videographer to capture the essence of the day for my mom and rearranged the day's schedule to ensure my mom could participate as much as possible. Her compassion and swift action during such a stressful time meant the world to us. I strongly and effusively recommend the SBE team. Thank you, Tiffany!!

up to the day, and seamlessly managed all of our vendors leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Aside from her incredible event management skills, she was such a kind, upbeat, supportive, beautiful energy. You DEFINITELY want to have Simply Breathe Events by your side to help you plan your wedding day!

conversation, she was poised, ready, organized, and on it. Michel-le' was always just an email away, and answered every single question I had in a detailed and comprehensive way. Once the 6 weeks out process began, Michel-le' blew me away. I cannot over stress how ON TOP OF IT she was. On my big day, I didn't give the logistics a second thought because I knew SBE was handling it. Everything went perfectly. She had considered, remembered, and taken care of everything, end to end. So many of my guests have told me how well-executed the day was and how impressed they were with Michel-le' and her team. She was the linchpin of my big day, and I cannot thank her & SBE enough!

with me throughout our 1.5 year-long engagement to see if we needed any help or guidance. The checklist she and Simply Breathe Events provided was also immensely helpful. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Michel'le had everything covered, from the timeline to communication with vendors to offering guidance on the many questions I had. Michel'le was so responsive and on top of things, even though I'm sure she was juggling a ton for other clients. Some wedding vendors make you feel like they have more important priorities, but I never felt that way with Michel'le. She helped keep me calm and was very encouraging. During the actual wedding, everything was set up the way I wanted and she kept things moving according to plan. Her assistants were also so kind and took care of everything. A lot of coordinators charge a lot more and do a lot less--Michel'le really made us feel taken care of.

ding, and many loose ends and decisions yet to be made. Tiffany dove in immediately, and with amazing focus, organizational skills, an upbeat attitude and patience, helped us pull together an incredibly beautiful wedding. Equally important, she was committed to working within our budget and kept an eye on where we were with respect to the budget. We never felt for a moment that she was pressuring us to increase the budget (as is sometimes the case with wedding planners) and everything came in well within the budget. We recommend her highly!

really needed help to execute our vision and ensure we can enjoy the day and not worry about the logistical details. Michel-le' and Zeb were everything we needed and more. Thanks to their hard work and support our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be (even with it being cold and rainy). I would recommend Michel-le' to anyone looking for event planning/execution support.

Michel-le’. She is extremely attentive and is amazing at her job. The weekend of my wedding all I had to do was “simply breathe”. On the day of my wedding her team arrived promptly and got right to work. Any issues that came up, I was not made aware of until after the wedding was over. Thank you ladies for everything.

's recommended vendors were great. She was a great advocate for us whenever we hit planning bumps and made sure we felt heard and happy throughout the planning process and wedding day. I had an idea of what I wanted the wedding weekend to look like and Tiffany made that happen and more. So many people came up to us to say it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and it wouldn't have been possible without the SBE team!

She helped us with catering, flowers and all of the little decisions that can drive you crazy throughout planning with monthly calls to check in. Even more than all of that, she made sure that everything was seamless on the day of. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and we know it's all because of the work Tiffany and SBE put in for us!

ery penny. Honestly, it's hard to know where to start given ALL the ways she helped us! Some of the highlights of working with Tiffany and her team: her top-notch vendor recommendations, her expertise on wedding etiquette, her project management skills —making sure everything happened when it should, her prompt and clear communication throughout the process, and a million things she put in place that made our wedding day a breeze! We genuinely could relax and simply breathe on the day of, knowing that she and her team had everything handled. Whenever anyone asks my number one recommendation for planning a wedding, I tell them (especially if they are a working professional) to hire a wedding planner, and, specifically, to hire Tiffany. You won't regret it. Our day was magic!

an trust completely to have your back on every decision, hiring Tiffany is a no brainer. SBE was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. My now-husband and I came to Tiffany a year before our wedding with a mess of a Pinterest board and not much else. She guided us through every step, patiently answering our questions and making herself available through the whole process. She recommended incredible vendors that met our needs. Then there was Michel-le’ who was so calm and helpful- I’m sure things went wrong but she and Tiffany never let me know the day of the wedding, and to us the day was perfect. In the end, it was an incredible day and we felt so lucky to have worked with SBE!!

t. Michel-le' kept everything organized, gave me some great ideas, provided us and our other vendors with a detailed timeline for the wedding. Even though rain threatened the outdoor ceremony, Michel-le' kept everyone calm. The sun came out right before the ceremony started. Wedding day was flawless and we couldn't have done it without Simply Breathe Events. I highly recommend them to anyone for their wedding. I must also give a shout out to the assistant for the bride the day of the wedding. Sam, you are so appreciated for everything you did to keep the bridal party organized and on time.

uests (even the ones that were made last minute!) and made us comfortable during the stressful wedding preparation period. We booked the month of coordination service but Michel-le’ made sure to communicate ahead so that the planning went smoothly when it was time for her team to take over. Michel-le’ was a focal point in the communication with vendors and I felt that all of the vendors were well informed of the schedule and their respective roles on the day of the wedding. If you value communication and envision a seamless event I highly recommend the SBE team!

ser to the big day. We hired Michel-le' as a day of coordinator but she went above and beyond that. I felt like I've known her for years - and I feel like I just gained a new friend. Her team on wedding day was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and make sure the reception/ceremony was just perfect. I can go on and on about how amazing the SBE team is and how much weight they lifted off my shoulders. If you are looking for a high quality and top tier team to make sure your wedding goes smoothly. Highly recommend hiring the SBE team! Thank you Michel-le' and SBE! Everyone raved about how awesome our wedding was! We'll never forget you guys!

ncellations and a venue closure 5 months before our wedding), Tiffany was there to support, problem solve, and advocate for us. From initial vision board creation to the weekend of the event, Tiffany took the time to understand our goals and bring them to life. She has great relationships with some of the best vendors in the DC area, and her recommendations helped us build a strong vendor team. There is no one better to plan your dream wedding!

ing for the wedding and keeping a list of our vendors as we established relationships with them. Most of our vendors have worked with her, and this made the planning a seamless process. On the day of the wedding, she and her team were very punctual and went over and beyond, bringing a stool for my makeup artist and a pretty hanger for my wedding dress photos when I overlooked those details. She addressed situations that we didn’t even know were issues during the wedding! And she always held true to our requests, and is super fun but always professional. Having Simply Breathe Events coordinate the day of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!! We are happy to recommend her to any of our family and friends who are planning a big event!

g came out exactly the way we planned. Our day-of was perfectly coordinated due to the fact that Tiffany had put together a detailed timeline and reviewed with us ahead of time to ensure all our vendors, family etc were where they needed to be when they needed to be there. We truly had the perfect day thanks to Tiffany and team.

n summarize our experience is: stress free! Tiffany is organized, experienced, responsive and my favorite thing about her is that like myself, she is solution oriented. If there is a problem, she immediately is thinking up a solution that will immediately put the couples mind at ease. Our experience planning for over a year and a half would not have been as smooth and exciting, if it weren’t for Tiffany. You NEED a planner that understands your vision, your personality as a couple AND your budget. It was truly like planning our wedding with our life long friend. You never have to worry that she doesn’t have your best interest at heart. The day of, I am certain there were hiccups, but I did not know of any of them. Tiffany and Michel-le’ were a Godsend. Specifically Michel-le’ who was there the morning of, in my suite making sure I had everything I needed and moving everyone around the hotel. Her energy was so genuine and positive, I am truly so grateful for all she did for me that morning. A true angel. She even helped me put the final touches on my hair! I would get married 100 times again if I could have Tiffany and the SBE team planning the day. If you are getting married in the near future, and haven’t hired the SBE team, do it now!

ss. Tiffany ensured we had virtually no planning mishaps but any that did occur (for example, some issues with the host hotel), she jumped on immediately and resolved. She was always available and communicative. Super organized and a wealth of resources. She was always patient and nice. She provided her expert opinion and recommendations but never "forced" any decisions on us. She made sure we knew what we had to do and when so we never fell behind on important milestones. She prepared the day-of schedule and made sure all vendors were on the same page. She ran a tight ship and made sure the wedding ran smoothly, all without us ever having to feel the stress of timing, logistics, etc. All we had to think about was getting married and having fun. That's a priceless feeling. Possibly the most useful and beneficial service she provided was making sure the design, feel, and vibe of ALL the components of the wedding came together beautifully. Early on we created a mood board with Tiff that was utilized throughout the planning process. This was invaluable and really made the wedding next-level. Overall, we couldn't have done it without her. There were countless times throughout planning, the day-of, and post-wedding where we talked about how thankful we were that we had Tiffany and her team supporting us. Honestly, it's pretty much impossible to imagine our wedding without SBE. Can't recommend highly enough!

olutely everything. We are so grateful to her for everything she did for us to make our day perfect.

ut ___?" questions in the months leading up to the wedding. Latoria went with me for my final venue walkthrough, which was so helpful. The timeline she put together and the contact with the vendors leading up to the wedding was so helpful. I was able to take that last month and not worry about the finer details. Latoria and team also set up a lot of the details of the wedding from guestbooks to signage, I was blissfully unaware of anything happening on the day, just the way I wanted it! I highly highly recommend Latoria and the SBE team!

achieve our aesthetic and the best vendors to work with. She stayed on top of all of our vendors and us as well for when we needed to do something. When things got stressful or didn't go right initially, she knew how to roll with the punches and make things work. Multiple things came up on the big day and the team handled it perfectly. We felt so fortunate to have Tiffany help us through this planning process. We were living on the opposite coast of where we were getting married and could not have pulled off such a special day without Simply Breathe.

DC. I am extremely detail oriented and Tiffany listens. Execution of Rehearsal Dinner, flowers, audio for speeches, table scapes, etc. Perfect! Welcome Party back at the Ritz Carlton, Sweets and Treats Stations-Amazing! Hire SIMPLY BREATHE EVENTS, D.C. Tell them Sharon sent you….

success it was. She went above and beyond our expectations on numerous occasions. She solved problems during the planning months and on the day of, and she instilled in us a faith that if something came up she would find a solution. The day of, there were only minor hiccups with vendors and she solved them all without us even knowing they occurred. In the months leading up to the wedding we had a few problems with other vendors, but just left it in Latoria's hands to solve and she did. In addition to being incredibly capable, she also projects an air of calm and confidence--a sort of "I got this" attitude. It's settling and really helped calm our nerves. Latoria has my strongest recommendation. I wish she could plan more things in my life.

vidual vendors. The final timeline did not reach ourselves or the vendors until the Tuesday prior to the Saturday wedding. And the timeline was wrong. We had to make phone calls and emails with the vendors to get everyone on the same page. The entire month, I had voiced that I was concerned with transportation. When it came time at the end of the night for transportation, the father of the bride spent 30 minutes trying to organize the guests and the buses.

er from time to time, she was always available and positive while providing the support needed to complete our vision. Tiffany is professional, efficient, supportive, and kind. I highly recommend any couple looking for a planner to work with her and her team.

ination services, but Tiffany was not kidding when she said that she was more accurately providing month-of coordination services. Right when wedding planning was getting its most frenetic, Tiffany swooped in and took over a lot of coordination with our vendors and took a huge load off our shoulders. It let us just sit back and enjoy our day knowing everything was being taken care of, and for that, she was truly priceless!

te best co-captain a couple could have in wedding planning. After booking with Tiffany, we ended up moving out of state, changing the date three times, and each challenge was met with Tiffany's calm and can-do attitude. She is so organized, responsive, and able to handle any/all situations. We ended up planning the final version of the wedding in 8 weeks (!) which was only possible because of her skills and attitude. Tiffany is also kind, respectful, and patient with family members and vendors alike. We felt comfortable having her represent our family to vendors, and deal with things (both pleasant and less-than-pleasant) on our behalf. She is a diplomat in every way. I don't think we saw her break a sweat once, even when things got a little sticky. Polished, professional, positive... what more could you ask for?! We, and our families, are forever grateful for Tiffany and her amazing guidance, calming presence, and great sense of humor as we navigated our Covid wedding.

nating the original vendors for a date that was mutually acceptable. She guided us through all the preparations, answered all our questions in a timely manner, and her calm, happy, and professional demeanor on the wedding day were really important for us keeping it all together. She and her assistants were key to making the event run smoothly. I recommend Simply Breathe without reservation, they couldn’t have been any better during the run up to the wedding and on the day of the event. Tiffany is the best!

made it even better than we could ever imagine. We postponed our wedding due to Covid and Tiffany took care of everything with so much ease. She was ready to handle any emergencies. The day of the wedding I was not stressed at all because Simply Breathe Events handled everything. The list is endless of how amazing this team is!

e our wedding was compliant and everyone was safe. She held our hand through the entire process and pivoted with ease at every obstacle (there were many - thanks, Covid!) to make sure our day was still perfect. She handed me a bottle of champagne to pop and she did the rest. Getting married during Covid was super stressful but it would have been impossible without Tiffany! I can't recommend her enough - our day was absolutely perfect.

ard with a very small, intimate wedding (with a total of 8 people) during covid since we didn't want to wait another 1-2 years. We contacted Tiffany this past summer and asked if we could pull together a wedding in three months -- not only did she promise that this was possible, but she knocked it out of the park. Every detail was considered, and healthy and safety was at the forefront. Tiffany listened to our every idea, understood even when we didn't know entirely how to articulate what we wanted, and was incredibly responsive, which alleviated my anxiety in planning a major life event in 3 months. Thank you Tiffany, Andrea, and the SBE crew -- we are so grateful for the magical atmosphere you created for our wedding day!

the decor of our venue, and 100% kept her cool as she shifted/plugged-and played agenda items of our timeline due to unforeseen delays. Latoria advocated on our behalf to ensure we got the experience that we wanted and made sure that our only job was to wave goodbye to our guests at the end of the night. We came back to find our decor neatly packaged in our room. Huge thanks to the team for making our wedding happen so smoothly.

ington D.C. area who had experience working at our venue The Anderson House with a similar event style. Tiffany and her team stood out from all of the other planners we interviewed not only because of her knowledge of the D.C. wedding scene, but also because of her deep vendor rolodex and willingness to check in and answer any of our questions throughout our planning journey, BEFORE she was contracted to. A lot, if not all of the other planners we talked to gave us the impression that they were only going show up on the day of our wedding not being familiar with anything I had pulled together on my own the months prior. Tiffany and her team went above and beyond your typical month of coordinator. She miraculously sorted through our confusing catering details, helped update some of our contracts to better suite my vision, and quickly took over all communication with my vendors once her official contracted date began. I cannot thank Simply Breathe Events enough for coming on board and bringing my final wedding vision to life. It really made all the difference in the end and was well worth it!

res front and center, and our day was perfect because of it. Thanks, Tiffany!!

ot start a month out from our wedding date, Latoria was in contant communication with us to see how we were doing and if we needed her assistance in any way. This made us feel like she was thinking of us. It also made us feel good that she wanted to be there for us. I took this opportunity to provide her with any wedding planning milestones I had made and sent her pictures for ideas that I had envisioned. I believe this helped both of us for when we got together. A month before our wedding, we met with Latoria to go over all the details regarding the wedding. At this point in the wedding planning process, I was ready to hand everything over to her and to have her help. To say I was relieved after meeting Latoria is an understatement. I was so appreciative of her help even leading up to the wedding day! On the day of the wedding, I was able to enjoy myself and to enjoy the moment. The day went by in the blink of an eye but I can say that I am still able to reflect on every minute of the day because Latoria and her team took care of everything! From setting up the venue to coordinating with the vendors and taking care of any issues that arose during the day, Latoria and her team did an amazing job at taking care of it to the point where Mike and I were blissfully unaware. Never once did I worry about the timeline or making sure things were where they were supposed to be. Mike and I never felt as if we were looking for Latoria or her assistant if we had a question or needed something during the wedding. She was always a head turn away! Reflecting back on our wedding, Mike and I constantly reflect on the day and how much we both enjoyed it and didn’t have a thing to worry about. This is not lost on us that we were able to do so because of Latoria and her team! Thank you so much Simply Breathe for connecting me with Latoria! We wholeheartedly recommend Simply Breathe Events, especially Latoria, if you are looking for day of coordinator services!

oving seamlessly between two hotels (my husband and I got ready at two different hotels) and our wedding venue just to ensure everything went as planned. If you want to have a piece of mind and enjoy your wedding day, I highly recommend!

! Hiring Simply Breathe will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning process!

ore than that. From the minute we met for coffee, I knew her Type A personality and organization was JUST what we needed. My (now) husband and I are both lawyers and we don't know what we would have done without her given her handling of vendor coordination and planning when we were too swamped with work! Simply Breathe is worth every penny and in fact is the only wedding vendor I have given five star reviews to. In addition to coordinating with vendors before the wedding, she and her team seamlessly handled dealing with rain minutes before our ceremony, construction at our venue just a couple weeks before the wedding, and, apart from the last-minute mini-nightmares, she was ALWAYS there via phone or email when I needed advice or support. I cannot recommend her highly enough; this was by far our best wedding purchase. I can't imagine not having a wedding planner and tell all my friends they need one. Please reach out to Tiffany for my contact information if you want to hear more about how great she and her team were!!!

ur day/month of coordinator. She was always so responsive via email and super organized. The package I chose came with a 2-hour meet up, it was super productive and got a lot done. She was very knowledgable about everything I asked and so kind. She came for wedding rehearsal and organized the whole thing. I cannot tell you enough how helpful that was and obviously having her run the show the day of. We truly appreciated how the SBE team (Latoria and assistant) made sure to take care of my husbands grandmother. We were worried about her and leaving her on her own as we did wedding stuff. If there is one advice I have learned by getting married, is that even if you do not think you need a wedding planner or day of coordinator, think again. They will only make your life easier in ways you cannot even begin to imagine. Worth every penny! Also, they send you a cute little welcome package with the most delicious cookies ever! I still cannot get those cookies out of my mind.

e that they got my vision. They went above and beyond, everything was so perfect and beautiful. I am a very happy bride. Definitely recommend.

did the full planning package, and said a number of time how glad we were. I was never stressed during the planning process, and the result was perfect in every way.

With a predominantly Spanish-speaking wedding party, we needed a vendor that would understand the language and cultural dynamics and experiences important to our family and us. We began working with Latoria several months before: she helped manage stress, mitigate crises, and quickly develop solutions. On our wedding day, her and Jenny (our unsung hero) were key to keeping us on schedule, caring for our guests’ needs, and ensuring we had a memorable experience. What started as a vendor relationship quickly morphed to a close friendship to confide in. Being able to work with these ladies daily is the only thing we miss about wedding planning!

h us, she constantly checked in. The biggest thing that stand out was helping with the day of timeline and ensuring other vendors knew where to be and what time, so we could enjoy the time with family and friends leading up to the wedding. Because of Tiffany, everything went so smoothly for my wedding. I could not have imagined a more perfect day.

ter assistance the night before or day of!
