Tatiana and her team were excellent! Her event management is top tier and I am so grateful for her. She commanded my wedding day like no other. I had so many compliments on the f...
low and how smooth the whole day went. I know that I couldn't have done it without her and I am so glad we chose Simply Charmed Weddings!
Beth was amazing to work with. From the planning sessions, to the day of, she made our vision come to life and took care of every last detail!
Beth was a phenomenal day-of planner for my wife and I. In the lead up process she was communicative and attentive. She met us at the venue months before our wedding for a walk thr...
ough. On the wedding weekend she was all over it- making sure everything was just as we needed and going above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. I would highly recommend Beth to anyone that’s getting married in the Richmond area!
This is a review specifically for Beth as we did not work with Tatiana directly. To make a long story short there were a lot of miscommunications and lack of preparedness and organ...
ization that were quite palpable throughout the day. Her communication with our music entertainment through email THE DAY OF thinking that would suffice over a direct phone call or text still makes me scratch my head. Hearing about her interactions with the bridal party and our family members after our wedding also made it obvious that she was flustered and/or spoke to them almost like it was not an adult to an adult conversation. When I spoke to Tatiana about our experience she seemed to agree that Beth had her shortcomings that day but also that we the couple were also at fault because we were being "wishywashy". As a coordinator, I would think that the main role was to COORDINATE and pivot when unplanned situations occur. Looking back, our day was great because we had awesome bridal and groom parties that were able to smooth things out behind the scenes. I guess if you work with this business please know exactly what you want and don't even think about making any changes concerning an event that you're spending thousands of dollars on.
When I began helping my daughter plan her wedding I thought for certain that a wedding coordinator was not a necessity. I typically coordinate large events as part of my job so I ...
thought there was no need. Six or so months from the big date I began thinking that this (my daughter's wedding) had very different moving pieces than the large events I routinely planned- the largest piece of which was my desire to actually enjoy as her mother- to experience her day with her. Additionally, there was the fact that I knew nothing of timelines, first looks, hair and make-up run through's (the list goes on and on) ...
I had just started looking into "how to do" all of the things above and was beginning to realize that even if I knew "how" to do these things I would be sacrificing the most important thing I wanted which was to enjoy the day as her mother. The very same week, my daughter reached out and shared that she had reached out to Simply Charmed Events and was scheduling a phone call with Tatiana. Within minutes on the call, we knew that she was the missing piece and well worth the investment. While we only booked her to coordinate the "day of" her support began weeks out as she gradually took point on vendor coordination finalizing the last-minute details to ensure a smooth day. A week out from the wedding I have to say that it was hands-down the best money this mother of the bride spent! If anything didn't go as planned we didn't know it! Everyone who has spoken to us in the last week has said how much fun it was to see how relaxed we seemed at the wedding and the only thing I can say is that it was Tatiana Kekuna and the team from Simply Charmed that allowed us to be that way!
Tatiana and Molly were rockstars. Tatiana’s ability to efficiently communicate in a timely manner made the whole process easy with setting up our wedding planner and day of coordin...
ation. Molly was our wedding planner and she went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was a rockstar the day of and tackled issues as they arose without me or the bride being any wiser. The peace of mind of knowing that someone else cares just as much about your special day as we did made us feel like we could focus on the special day and not the details. Molly’s ability to create the vision we had in the venue was incredible. Hands down the best decision and investment we made for our wedding. 10/10. 10 stars. Highly recommend. There’s no one better.
Simply Charmed Events was absolutely amazing for my wedding. I work in the medical field with a hectic schedule so having a planner was a necessity. Tatiana was on top of all detai...
ls and vendors. I really felt like I didn't have to stress. It rained on our wedding day and she and her team were totally prepared with umbrellas to get our portraits and move our ceremony. I cannot recommend them enough!
We booked Ashley for partial wedding planning and day of coordination and it made everything SO much smoother. She was the point of contact for all of our vendors, and was able to ...
help guide us when we knew what we wanted for our wedding, but maybe not how to go about making it happen. And I can’t overstate how crucial she was on the day of. She kept all the wheels turning smoothly, and kept us perfectly on schedule. So not only did the day run smoother, but because she was there to handle all the details all of our guests and family were able to relax and enjoy the event. Thank you so much for all your help!
I do not know even where to start! Tatiana was amazing from start to finish! She made the wedding planning process so easy and stress-free. Tatiana had amazing ideas and suggestion...
s to make our ceremony and reception a dream! Also, right before the reception, the strap on my dress completely snapped and broke. Tatiana and her team came to the rescue with a full sewing kit and fixed the strap in no time!
Without a doubt, if you are looking for a kind, responsive, experienced, and talented wedding planner, Tatiana is your person!
We love Tatiana!! We were planning our wedding from a different state and she was an absolute godsend. She kept us on track with both time and budget, she helped us find incredible...
vendors, and honestly she just took away so much stress from the planning process. Then on our wedding day everything was just where it needed to be all day, like magic, and I didn't have to think about it once. On top of all that she's just really fun! We can't recommend Tatiana and her planning services highly enough.
Tatiana and Molly are both delightful and were SUCH a huge help doing the final coordination of both our pandemic wedding and then even accommodating our anniversary vow renewal. T...
hey took care of all the final communication with our other vendors which was so helpful and on the day-of, took my vision and helped bring it to life and made sure every went smoothly so all we had to do was enjoy getting married and spending the evening together with family and friends!
I am honestly not sure how I would have survived my wedding day without Tatiana. My wedding was pretty small (>50 people), so we were on the fence about hiring a coordinator and I ...
am SO happy we did. She literally ran through a crazy rain storm to make sure that everything happened as perfectly as it did on my wedding day. Everything ran so smoothly and everything was where it needed to be the next day so I didn't have to worry about anything during my wedding. Thank you so much!!
We hired Tatiana for our May 2021 wedding and had such a great experience. Our ceremony and reception were on family property, rather than a typical wedding venue, so it was import...
ant for us to have someone who knew what they were doing. Tatiana helped us navigate the ever-changing COVID restrictions as well. On our wedding day, we were able to relax knowing that everything was taken care of. Highly recommend!
I am so happy we hired Simply Charmed Events. We were originally supposed to get married in May 2020 but we all know how that went. So, we got married in October with a much smalle...
r wedding than originally planned. Tatiana was such an amazing resource in rescheduling vendors. She basically planned two entire weddings for us. I am so grateful we had her through the planning process especially considering the circumstances of COVID. She advocated for us, communicated with vendors and helped with sorting out our budget. Day of our wedding, she and her assistant kept everything running smoothly. I did not have to stress or worry about anything. She even made sure my bouquet was packed and safe and that we had boxes of left over food to take home. I'd recommend Simply Charmed Events to anyone planning a wedding- especially during a pandemic!
Tatiana and her team were absolutely amazing--I am SO GLAD we decided to go with a coordinator at all, and we really hit the jackpot with Tatiana. She was so helpful during our who...
le engagement, offering advice and recommendations from centerpiece options to other vendors. In the month leading up to the wedding, she took care of making sure all of our vendors knew what the plan was--I didn't have to do anything, everything just fell into place (from my point of view at least).
Our actual wedding day, Tatiana and her assistant were on top of every little detail. We had a lot of moving parts, from a complicated processional to flipping a room into a quiet space for kids to nobody really knowing if they were going to give a speech or not. I didn't have to worry about a single thing all night, and neither did anyone in my family. My mom especially has told me at least 20 times in the 5 days since we got married that Tatiana is worth her weight in gold. She took care of all of the set up and breakdown of our decor, put the gifts in my brother in law's car, and made sure that my new husband and I got a full plate of food before anyone else could distract us.
If you're doing all of your planning but want to have a stress-free wedding day, 100% hire Simply Charmed Weddings!
My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator for our wedding, but we are so happy that we decided to book Tatiana. Although I was able to purchase/make all ...
of my decorations, I knew I would need someone to make my vision come to life on our wedding day and Tatiana did so perfectly. She was indispensable on our wedding day – she showed up early and stayed until the last minute, making sure that everything ran smoothly and that we didn’t need anything throughout the night. From searching for and finding our misplaced cake topper, to moving flower arrangements, to bringing us drinks, to herding our guests and keeping our timeline on track, Tatiana was in the background making sure the whole day was flawless. She was very professional, easy to work with, quick to respond to emails/texts, and was so helpful orchestrating plans with our numerous other vendors. We (and our families) didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day thanks to Tatiana. We highly recommend Simply Charmed Events!
Let me just start by saying that I was one of those brides that thought I didn’t need a coordinator for my wedding, and I could figure it all out on my own. Thank god my caterer co...
nvinced me that was an awful idea, and thank god I found Tatiana and Simply Charmed Events. From coordinating between all of my vendors in the weeks before the wedding, to the rehearsal the night before, and most importantly my entire wedding day, Tatiana took care of literally everything for me so that I was actually able to relax and enjoy my experience as a bride (which is really hard to do with such a busy, hectic day). She kept the day running smoothly and on schedule, all while making sure my husband and I were enjoying ourselves and not stressing about a thing! Even my husband, who was skeptical about why we needed a coordinator in the first place, admitted that we would have never made it through our wedding day and enjoyed ourselves as much as we did if Tatiana had not be there. If you’re questioning whether or not you should use her for your wedding or event, do yourself a favor and DO IT. Trust me, you won’t regret it ❤️
