Simply Breathe Events

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!

ur wedding planning process!

e 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!!!

ail 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.

g was so perfect and beautiful. I am a very happy bride. Definitely recommend.

d we were. I was never stressed during the planning process, and the result was perfect in every way.

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!

t 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.

She was very well organized and even had spreadsheets for us to keep track of our spendings, contacts, and timeline leading up to the wedding. They were both very helpful on the wedding day. When something didn’t go as planned, they were right there to make it better. They improvised and everything turned out great! Things never go perfectly planned on your wedding day but Latoria and Jenny definitely made it a lot easier to on us. My husband and I appreciate all their effort and hard work into making our day go as smoothly as possible! Thank you again for everything!!

coordination and make it all run smoothly - Tiffany was amazing! We had some communication issues with our venue and Tiffany handled them all wonderfully. She was available for any questions we had and was ok with last minute changes to floorplan and timeline. Tiffany and her team definitely followed through on their motto, allowing us to "simply breathe" and enjoy the day. Everyone in our wedding party and all of our parents raved about working with her and her team and we were all so grateful to have her as our coordinator. I would highly recommend Simply Breathe and Tiffany to anyone in need of wedding coordination and planning!

eemed like every time one question was answered, 15 more popped up. As soon as Tiffany and her team came on board, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders -- I was actually able to enjoy the weeks leading up to my wedding as well as the wedding day itself ! I would recommend SBE to any bride. (Hint: it doesn't matter how organized you are -- you NEED someone for the day-of!)

en though the contract stated Latoria would start working with us 6 weeks out, she started emailing me months before just checking in, seeing if she could offer any assistance. This was just a sneak peak as to how above and beyond this team goes. As we hit our 6 week mark, and anxiety started to rise, Latoria was there to help with everything, from the vendor that was avoiding me, to assuring me my nightmares would not become reality. On wedding day, like how do people get married with out a Latoria? She made sure all of my planning came to reality. She set up my decor all around the reception and ceremony space, got vendors in order, and just made my dreams come true. I can not can not can not recommend SBE more. Every bride NEEDS to hire this team. They make dreams come true, anxiety melt away, and make every couple experience the best day ever they way everyone dreams. okay I'm crying now... TRUST ME, hire these babes, you won't regret it <3 Love, Hannah and Sean Murphy

erwhelmed by all the details that needed to be taken care of. Neither of us are really big wedding-planning people, and we were anxious about the logistics of the big day. Patricia swung into action immediately, taking care of everything. As the day approached, it really felt like we had a friend on our side who could handle everything from requests from the other vendors to questions from our parents and guests. OnTthe wedding day, Patricia handled everything from the big stuff, like moving to the rain plan or getting us in position for the entrance, to the little stuff, like bustling my wife's dress before our big dance, with grace and humor. It was a huge relief having Patricia handle the big day and knowing that everything would be taken care of — and that if something went wrong, she would have no problem handling it. With Patricia and her team in charge, my wife and I were free to really enjoy the wedding and being with our family and friends. I can't recommend Patricia and Simply Breathe enough.

n with us every month to ask if we had any questions. Whenever we did have a question, she was quick in providing us with an answer. A month before our wedding, Tiffany took over the planning and began communicating with vendors for us, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the process. On the day of the wedding, Tiffany and Chelsie were nothing short of amazing. They ensured that our wedding timeline was followed, everything was set up properly, and made our vision a reality. Simply Breathe Events was seriously worth every single penny and then some. Tiffany and her team truly allow you to Simply Breathe on your wedding day!

e us feel at ease with the whole day. When we told her we would take care of clean up at the venue the next day, she still had everything boxed neatly for us to pick up instead of leaving decorations up on the wall. My maid of honor showed me her email of suggested responsibilities and it spoke of someone with a lot of experience and the unique ability to get people to do what is necessary while being so nice about it! Patricia and her assistant Mimi were friendly and right where we needed help the day of the wedding. I cannot thank Patricia enough.

astic. I met with her to discuss our vision and timeline. We already had a lot done in the way of vendor vetting and hiring. On the same day as our meeting, Latoria reached out to all of our vendors to introduce herself and from there, completely took over any remaining coordination. Any time I reached out to one of my vendors, I tended to copy Latoria. She always followed up with a private email to see if she could do anything to help! By the time Latoria came aboard, we had ready done our final venue walk-through. Without our asking, she scheduled a walk-through with our venue liaison to ensure she knew the lay of the land! In the final week before the wedding, a few more questions started popping up. Latoria was super quick to reply and always had a solution -- to a bride trying to keep her stress levels down, this was so appreciated! Latoria and her assistant, Mimi, came to our rehearsal. They were both timely, prepared, and professional. I had delayed the start time by 30 minutes and completely forgot to tell them -- they were so kind about my mistake and never made us feel rushed… and it was Friday night! Day of, they checked in with us at the hotel, then went on to our venue to set up. At the rehearsal, I had given Latoria and Mimi our decor with instructions and they brought it all to the venue for us. Everything was set up perfectly, without ever having to “bother us” with any questions. Latoria and Mimi were prepared per usual and had a lovely, calm demeanor at our wedding. They ran the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and celebration flawlessly! At the end of the night, they placed all of our belongings in an agreed upon place, which enabled us and our guests to keep right on partying without a care in the world! Even having already completed a lot of the leg work, having Latoria and Mimi’s assistance was so helpful! Their expertise helped it all come together without a hitch. Our experience with Latoria and Mimi was great! We definitely recommend them!

y Patricia Mook . Patrica paid close attention to anything we may have needed or maybe not even thought of to help keep us stress free. She was able to keep everything on schedule and most importantly made my wife and myself happy on our day ! Thanks Simply Breathe team !!! Working with any of the memebers will leave you stress free!

ing day. She was available even before then with any questions we had and was constantly checking in with us to make sure we were ok. On the day of our wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly and took care of all the details so we did not have to be bothered with any questions from vendors and could fully enjoy our day. I cannot recommend SBE enough if you are looking for a reliable and professional wedding planner. You will feel supported and excited for your wedding knowing they have your back.

eeting with us and covering all our concerns the month before, she was not on top of things at the day of the wedding. She was asking me questions about minor details while I was getting dressed, she wasn't there to solve problems as they emerged. Our wedding was not the traditional kind, we rented a house at the Chesapeake Bay, so we had to hire different vendors to provide catering, bar, tent and other services. We hired a guy to take us and the guests on boat rides. When my husband realized the boat guy wasn't there he asked Tiffany to call him, and she didn't have his number, even though she was supposed to have all the vendors numbers. My husband had to call him. Since the boat rides were a bit long, Tiffany asked before we went on one if they should start serving food, without the bride and groom, with hindsight I should have said no, but I didn't want to delay things and of course I assumed she would make sure there would be enough food for us on our return. Well, there wasn't. When I tried to figure out what was going on she was nowhere to be found. Also, the bar people were supposed to circulate specialty cocktails, which they didn't and she wasn't there to remind them, I had to tell them. So overall I think the month before the wedding Tiffany was helpful at coordinating things and tying loose ends, but she wasn't on top of things on the wedding day, so I don't think I would recommend her at least for a non traditional wedding.

search but I think majority of our choices were outside of their recommended options and the vendors were all great. They also did a good job at the reception setting the venue up. The room looked just as I envisioned and they did a great job cleaning up with all of the vendors and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. They could’ve done a better job at being on top of the ball. Our last week we had to change our ceremony venue from outside to inside. So we found a completely new venue, redid decoration details, rerouted bus routes, and informed over 150 guests. They did a good job at keeping all of the vendors up to speed with the venue change. However, it was cherry blossom weekend in DC and somehow the 10k marathon road closures were overlooked. For the rehearsal, we were over an hour delayed due to traffic from ppl visiting in town and road closure and I recommended pushing things back and leaving a bigger window for traffic and delays but they assured me we would be fine. So I trusted then because I hired them. However on the wedding day we were over an hour late for our wedding ceremony bc of traffic simply because we took the wrong roads. The planned route for the link was closed and the link had to follow local traffic. If the 10k road closure was known ahead of time the drivers would’ve been able to reroute. Also, we had a shuttle for our guests from the hotel to ceremony and reception. There was no one checking on the shuttle so it didn’t follow the plan and the bridal party needed to find transportation for almost half of the guests. Luckily bc we had a large amount of time for family photos we made it to the reception on time at the cost of some family photos and added stress for finding transportation. Nonetheless, they were a good option. If the weather wasn’t so unpredictable the last week they probably would’ve done everything perfectly. Unforeseen circumstances does add some challenges. Although they didn’t entirely drop the ball the day of, the transportation greatly affected our timeliness and added stress, and I think it was a slight oversight on their behalf.

d a solution, and a response within moments. She took the time to get a sense of who we are, and our priorities, and it showed. The day of the wedding everything was well managed so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. Wedding planning was quite the task, so having the extra help along the way was very appreciated. I highly recommend working with Latoria, or SBE, for any coordination needs!

lead on contacting vendors for questions/concerns/anything. I used her "day-of" services and a month out she would check in often to see if I needed anything. She was always very positive and supportive, which was great considering the chaos that can come with planning a wedding. She was open to working with my friends who also ended up helping with decor at the reception. And she took the lead during rehearsal and the day of which was great! I am really happy I went with Latoria at SBE! I definitely would recommend her and her assistant!

d realized I needed someone with expertise to help me pull everything together. I could tell from my first communication with Tiffany that she would be amazing, and she exceeded our expectations! Even though we hired her pretty late in the game, she helped us with a million small details and made sure everything was perfect and taken care of exactly the way we wanted. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, when they needed to be there, and everything went seamlessly. In the last couple of weeks before the event, I was emailing and texting Tiffany constantly with questions, and she was always quick to respond and able to resolve any issues efficiently. My husband and I have no clue how we could have managed without Tiffany's help. We are so grateful to Tiffany and her team for making our wedding day so easy - we didn't have to think about anything on the day of, we just got to enjoy it as everything went smoothly. In addition to being fantastic at her job, Tiffany is extremely personable, kind, and just a joy to work with. We also found her pricing to be really reasonable and a great value for all her help. My only regret is that I didn't hire Tiffany earlier in our planning process! I would recommend Tiffany to anyone - she's the best!!

thought out checklists leading up to the wedding and detailed day of timelines. I naturally worry about details and the planning involved when it comes to an event but Tiffany took all of that worry away. I honestly don't think I could of done my day without Tiffany and her team. I highly recommend Tiffany and Simply Breathe Events if you want your dream wedding executed flawlessly.

tionally, Tiffany was very responsive to emails well in advance of our wedding day. She offered great advice about recommended vendors in the area and was just a great sounding board for general advice as questions came up. She's a total pro and I'd recommend Simply Breathe Events to anyone.

ame without her!

great. I can't imagine my big day without their assistance.

gine trying to do it without them!

is a huge accomplishment. She thought of ideas and details that never crossed my mind. All of my vendors have been raving about her and can't wait to work with her again! Thanks to Tiffany I was able to Simple Breathe and enjoy every second of my wedding day with no worries.

sense of serenity were a breath of fresh air. I gave her my vision and she made it come to life. Our wedding from start to finish, could not have turned out more perfect and I owe most of it to her! I would highly recommend Tiffany and her team for your wedding planning needs! She was amazing and I cannot say enough good things about her!

finalizing our wedding day timeline, ensuring we covered all our bases and was a great resource when we needed advice on wedding details and etiquette. On the day of the wedding, Tiffany and her assistant Chelsie were spectacular! Everything on our timeline happened on schedule (which is hard with my family!). She coordinated everything so well and she also checked in on me throughout the day to make sure I was okay! It was so nice to have someone like Tiffany coordinating our wedding day. Simply Breathe Events gave us peace of mind so my husband, family, and I could enjoy the most wonderful wedding day! You must hire SBE! You will not regret it!

dding and set up all my “DIY” projects to decorate the space before the wedding. Definitely one of the best decisions (besides marrying my best friend!) that I have made

ments of our wedding day by ensuring everything was executed perfectly and exactly how we envisioned. I would absolutely recommend Tiffany and SBE for all couples who want to simply breathe and have fun on their wedding day!

ked in on us and was ready and willing to answer any questions for the year leading up to the wedding as well as recommending other wonderful vendors. Once we were a month out Tiffany jumped in and quickly learned all of the details and plans for our wedding. She was always quick to respond and calm our nerves and answer the many questions that we had. No detail or worry was ever unimportant or too small for her to take care of. We always felt like we were in good hands. Tiffany and the SBE team were wonderful to work with the weekend of the wedding. They were extremely friendly, organized and engaged at our rehearsal, making sure we were 100% happy and comfortable with every last detail! The day of the wedding went flawlessly. The SBE team was on top of everything. If there were any problems my husband and I are not aware of them as they were solved behind the scenes. Our timeline was perfectly managed and executed. Leading up to the wedding our concern was having enough time on the dance floor and Tiffany made sure that this happened. It was perfect! Hiring Tiffany and the SBE team was absolutely one of the best decision of our wedding planning process and we would do it again and recommend this team to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you SBE team!

at everything worked out. She coordinated with our other vendors and removed much of the stress from us. She is clearly experienced and has a great deal of knowledge to help an overwhelmed couple make the big day joyous.
