- Lyn YoungCo-Owner/PlannerLyn Young has always had a knack for bringing events to life, which made her the perfect fit as the Wedding Coordinator and Event Manager at Greene Gables Inn Bed & Breakfast, where she worked for seven years until the Inn closed in 2021. During her time there, Lyn oversaw catering, event production, and full-scale wedding management, ensuring every celebration ran seamlessly. She thrives on the logistics side of planning—timelines, spreadsheets, and all the behind-the-scenes details that most people don’t see but are essential to making a wedding feel effortless. It was Lyn’s husband, Spencer, who first suggested that she and Marsha start a wedding planning business, and that idea quickly became a reality. Since then, Lyn and Marsha have helped couples plan everything from the moment they book their venue to the day after they walk down the aisle. Her experience extends beyond weddings, too; she has lent her expertise to nonprofit organizations in Springfield, helping create unforgettable events that combine creativity, style, and flawless execution. Outside of planning, Lyn is the mom of four energetic boys, which means her days are filled with sports, homework, and all the chaos that comes with raising an active family. Planning weddings is her joyful escape—a chance to immerse herself in love stories, creative design, and meaningful celebrations. She loves weddings—after all, who doesn’t love LOVE?—and she’s passionate about helping couples bring their vision to life, guiding them through one of the most memorable days of their lives with care, calm, and a little bit of fun. Whether it’s handling every detail behind the scenes or collaborating with couples to make their dream day a reality, Lyn brings experience, organization, and heart to every wedding she plans. She believes every wedding should feel personal, beautiful, and joy-filled, and she cannot wait to help couples celebrate their love in style.
- Marsha LaRoccaCo-Owner/PlannerMarsha LaRocca’s passion for event planning began more than thirty years ago with her two daughters. She loved seeing their eyes light up as she created unforgettable experiences, and that joy sparked a lifelong love for planning and design. What started with birthday parties eventually grew into showers, graduations, and celebrations for family, friends, and coworkers. Through it all, Marsha’s creativity, attention to detail, and love for bringing people together have always been at the heart of everything she plans. In addition to her love for events, Marsha is the founder of her own creative design company, MJL Creations, where she designs custom signs, clothing, drinkware, and more. One of her proudest—and most challenging—accomplishments was designing her daughter’s wedding, a day filled with personal touches and thoughtful details that was later featured in the 2018 Fall-Winter issue of The Knot’s regional magazine. That experience reinforced her passion for weddings and inspired her next step: partnering with Lyn Young to create Simply Detailed Events. Since joining forces, Marsha and Lyn have helped couples plan and design weddings as unique as their love stories. Marsha thrives on turning inspired ideas into beautifully curated celebrations, thoughtfully managing every detail so couples can stay present, relaxed, and fully enjoy their special day. She loves the creative process, the personal connections she builds with each couple, and the joy of seeing a vision come to life exactly as imagined. Marsha adores weddings and believes every celebration should feel personal, joy-filled, and unforgettable. She is passionate about guiding couples through one of the most important days of their lives with creativity, care, and a touch of magic. Whether designing custom details, coordinating logistics, or dreaming up the perfect aesthetic, Marsha can’t wait to help couples make their “Big Day” everything they imagined—and more.

coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors, managing everything from delivery times to setup schedules. I was able to completely relax on my wedding day, knowing they had every aspect under control.
On the big day, they took care of decorating our reception space, ensuring all the vendors were in the right place at the right time, and kept the entire day on track. Lyn's attention to detail was phenomenal; she stayed for the entire reception, making sure everything ran according to schedule, from signing our marriage license to timing the speeches and coordinating the band.
Lyn and her crew went above and beyond, even keeping the reception space clean and putting away our rented items so they wouldn’t get lost or damaged. Their dedication and meticulousness meant that I could fully enjoy my wedding without any stress or worry.
If you're looking for wedding planners who truly care and will take care of everything so you can focus on your special day, look no further. Lyn and Marsha were a dream to work with, and I am so grateful for their hard work!

What I can say is that hiring Simply Detailed may have been the best financial decision I've made in my life. Never have I spent a dollar that has gone further than purchasing thei...
r services.
They facilitated the whole day, telling us when to go, where to go, and keeping every vendor and bridal party member on track. This isn't including the fact that they decorated the whole wedding with no help from us save for the boxes we gave them. And this isn't mentioning how they called all of my vendors when my wedding had to be rescheduled TWICE for Covid. If you're someone like me (unorganized, phone call hater, a mess), you can understand what a big deal this was.
A little stress is inevitable. But the stress they saved me with their services, their work ethic, and their communication was immeasurable.
Thank you guys for everything, it was truly the best money I've ever spent!

Their years of experience is invaluable. I highly recommend hiring them for your wedding.

Wow, talk about a a DREAM SHOWER! Simply Detailed Wedding & Event Planning did not let one touch go unnoticed!
From the moment you stepped into the shower space to the moment you...
left there were new surprises. I left the shower all smiles - for the rest of the weekend. Simply Detailed had the most creative things I have ever seen at any shower (I have been to a lot of showers!). The bubbly wall upon entry was so unique with a lush green background, the charcuterie cones were so fun, the balloon wall was done so well and perfect for endless picture opportunities, the drink table was so pretty with fresh flowers, adorable names for the drinks and gorgeous glassware set up. The luncheon table was to dream about! Oh wow, the glassware was perfectly set along with a monogram cookie, gorgeous menu and tall round balloon flying above the table underneath pretty floral arrangements. Have you seen a ice wine holder with flowers inside? Well with Simply Detailed events you can have them! Talk of the table. The desserts were mostly handcrafted with perfect positioning and floral additions. Hands down Simply Detailed is the BEST! Marsha is so kind to work with an listens to everything you want and need and wish for! She is a doll and you will be smiling for hours after your party or hosting a party with Simply Detailed!

Marsha & Lyn of Simply Detailed went above and beyond my expectations and were absolutely amazing to work with. My March 21 wedding had to be cancelled less than a week before due ...
to COVID-19 and statewide restrictions. Prior to having cancelled, we had to find a new venue (~10 days before the wedding) because our original venue could not host large events. Without missing a beat, Marsha and Lyn worked to find me multiple backup venue options and communicated with all my vendors. Unfortunately, we were not able to go through with our wedding, but Marsha and Lyn took away all of the stress for me; they contacted all of my vendors to find alternative dates, assisted me in reviewing my contracts, and worked tirelessly to ensure that my anxiety was kept at bay! Since my wedding was scheduled on the first day of the Illinois stay-at-home order, this was truly an unprecedented situation for them, and I can honestly say they alleviated so much stress for me and handled it professionally and effectively. In these unpredictable times, wedding/day of planners should be a priority for all bride and grooms, and Marsha and Lyn are certainly up for the challenge! I cannot recommend them enough!!

me at ease from the moment we hired them (over a year ago) to help with our big day. Not only are they organized and personable, but I was completely hands off when it came to setting up our reception hall and it was everything I could have dreamed it would be. Our wedding truly looked like something out of a magazine and it's all thanks to their talent and creativity. The peace of mind I had all day because I knew they were handling everything was worth any amount of money, but their attention to detail and how much they truly cared for Zac and I's vision of our day is really what sets them apart. Thank you Lyn and Marsha!! You truly made our day fantastic!

I'm not sure where to begin in my praises for this company and the ladies that make it what it is. We hired them a year ago for my daughter's wedding. My daughter had specific visi...
ons about how she wanted things to look and the locations/ambiance of the events. I confess that I never did fully grasp her vision UNTIL I saw what Marsha and Lynn put together based on not much more than discussions and some color palette images. Even though it sounds partial, I'm not at all when I say I believe that this was perhaps the most stunning wedding and reception that I've ever attended. (And since the strong winds and frigid temperature threatened to change all of our plans at the last minute, I would call this an amazing mind-meld between the bride and the planners.) Somehow, Marsha and Lynn were able to capture the very essence of my daughter and put together the event of her dreams. My daughter lives 200 miles away, and Marsha and Lynn were so supportive and flexible with scheduling times to meet with us when the bride and groom were in town. Yes, they met with the groom to get his input as well. They were able to refer us to other vendors and we were also thrilled with their abilities and took advantage of their services. Marsha and Lynn were always punctual and kept us, as well as all of our vendors, on an accurate timeline so that everyone was doing what they should have been at the right times. The day before and of the event is when they really outdid themselves. They had successfully navigated the days leading up to the big event with no less than 7+ different vendors, and they all came together perfectly at the right time. (Most were out of town vendors, as well.) I wish I could attach some of the photos of the venue before and after so you could witness the transformation. It left me speechless and in tears - of relief and joy. It was nothing less than perfection. We could not have asked for anything better. Their involvement in the entire process made all of our jobs that much easier. I can't imagine having tried to do this event without them. Yes, I highly recommend using wedding planner services, but I don't just recommend ANY wedding planners. Simply Detailed goes WAY above and beyond, and the dedicated women that started and run the business have the background and creativity to bring things to life that I can't even hardly imagine. 10 stars would be the more appropriate rating, in my opinion.

re. They did everything we asked and also helped to make sure things stayed on time. We had several different entrainment “acts” throughout the night that they were able to help coordinate the day of. They knew many of our vendors already and called them to make sure everything was good a couple weeks before the wedding and got our questions answered. They also drove 1.5 hours to see our venue and make sure they knew what our vision was. It was also great to get two for the price of one! We enjoyed working with Marsha and Lyn!

e wanted everything to look. Lyn and Marsha really exceeded our expectations by coordinating our unique but chaotic vision into something truly coherent and spectacular. We really overloaded them with items and they managed to sort through all of it and assemble it beautifully in a very small amount of time. Their ability to put everything together with limited directions and get to such a beautiful end end result was especially excellent. The quality of service for the prices they charge are unbeatable and the professional level of expertise they possess is off the charts.
I cannot thank them enough for making our day run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because they helped to make sure everything was perfect. They added extra touches we never would have come up with on our own! We will definitely recommend their services to all of our friends and family and keep will them in mind if we ever plan another event. Meanwhile, again, kudos to Lyn and Marsha for doing such an excellent job.

Marsha and Lyn were an integral part of our wedding, and my husband and I highly recommend them.
I reached out to Marsha and Lyn roughly six months before my wedding. At that poi...
nt, I was overwhelmed by all things wedding-related. They immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident that they could help me plan a beautiful wedding. I had no clear vision of what said wedding would look like, but they met with me numerous times to guide me through the process. They were also always quick to respond to my countless questions and concerns.
Further, they contacted many vendors on my behalf, and coordinated with all of the vendors to ensure that the wedding was a success. And when there were random emergencies thrown their way - even on the wedding day itself - they remained calm and focused their energy on finding the solution that worked best for me.
It is impossible for me to list out all of the things that Marsha and Lyn did for me before, during, and even after the wedding because they did so much. On top of that, and more importantly, they are kind and easy to talk to. They made the entire wedding process much easier because I felt comfortable around them.
I can't recommend them enough!

The first choice I made after getting engaged was to invite Simply Detailed into the process and it was by far the best and most impactful decision. Marsha and Lyn were nothing bu...
t supportive, insightful, creative, fiscally responsible and overwhelmingly genuine to both my fiancé and I. On the actual day of our wedding, I cannot truly account for the hard work, diligence and organization that went into the process. During the wedding weekend, Simply Detailed handled every curve ball with a homerun moment. When the rain threatened our outside ceremony, the ladies made some touch choices to make last minute moves that were not only the right call, but gave us the peace of mind that the ceremony was in good hands. With their support, my fiancé and I were able to fully immerse ourselves in the festivities and only focus on our families and each other. If give the opportunity, I would choose Simply Detailed every time. The investment was negligible compared to the return we received from their hard work. Thanks Lyn and Marsha for making our day so special.

Words can’t express our gratitude for Marsha and Lyn. Everything was exactly as I had envisioned and more. They allowed me to be as active or absent in wedding planning as I wanted...
to be. They met with vendors and did all the tedious thing I didn’t want to do. They were such a pleasure to work with and so easy to get it touch with! I could write an e mail or shoot them a text and always got prompt replies. They helped me with things I didn’t even know I needed to do, and then fixed things I totally forgot I needed to do. They definitely saved me money throughout the process with little tricks here and there. They were worth every penny of investing in a wedding coordinator. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and it was all because of them!

The Best Wedding Planners for the Best Day Ever--our daughter's wedding! We had 6 1/2 months to plan this and we hired Simply Detailed after 2 months. They were spectacular! They...
were the interface between all the wedding & reception details that needed to be planned. Of special note is their handling of our first caterer, which turned out to be highly unprofessional and lax. Lyn & Marsha are well-informed in the myriad details of wedding & reception planning--caterers, flowers, renting linens, venues, schedules of events, etiquette, etc! They were present for the wedding rehearsal and helped guide the participants in the timing of their entry. They planned the First Look and also the Bubble shower after the service. For the reception, they served as the supervisors when the linens, buffet line, wedding cake, bar service, etc were arriving and being set up by other parties. (They even sent back table linens to be replaced which had noticeable stains on them!) They placed 150 chair covers, the draping behind the head table, centerpieces the bride and family had made--adding flowers the day of the reception. They stayed until the doors closed and helped tear down and delivered family gifts & items to a predesignated home. Lyn & Marsha have vast experience, talents and artistic skills that transformed a college dining hall into a lovely reception venue!
The best accolade comes from my husband who, after we had seen the "raw and untouched" reception venue and then came back 6 hours later to see a glistening white and sangria wonderland, asked me: "How much did we pay these ladies?" "Wow! That's a steal!" Yes, they totally took care of every detail so that we could fully enjoy the weekend of our only daughter's wedding! They are worth every penny and more!
