I cannot describe how thankful I am for Laura!!!! If there’s one thing I’d advise any Cincy bride to do, it’s to hire her. I left my wedding day honestly believing I was one of the lucky brides who had no mishaps or hiccups - not true! Laura was just incredible and seamlessly remedied every single issue (and turns out, there were a good handful!) without my attention ever being drawn. She was amazingly organized, extremely communicative, and so so very sweet. She calmed every nerve leading up to the day and has even since helped me sell some of my used decor to other brides who need it! Do yourself a favor - book Laura!
I truly do not have words that can convey how much we appreciated Laura. She made sure that our day was everything we wanted and went as smoothly as possible. I knew I was going to be overwhelmed by the planning process if I did it on my own so having Laura was just what we needed to ensure we could fully enjoy our engagement and not be overwhelmed by all of the details that come with wedding planning. Laura narrowed down the millions of options that our out there, provided her guidance, and was on top of everything. We received so many compliments from our family and bridal party about her. I seriously, seriously, seriously could not recommend her any more.
Hiring Laura was easily the best decision we made for our wedding day! She was extremely professional, kind, and thorough. When recapping the wedding with my mom and husband there were so many things that were taken care of thanks to the team that most of us didn't even know about, like when Laura had to glue together my husband's boutonniere minutes before the ceremony. They kept us on schedule and coordinated with all of the vendors so that we got to enjoy our day. I cannot thank them enough!
I have too many great and wonderful things to say about Simply Events and Laura Gall. First off, if you're a bride that doesn't want to be a big ball of stress the day of and/or the weeks leading up to your special day then HIRE LAURA. She schedules vendor meetings, attends them, reminds you and rereminds you of the decisions you have to make all with a calm tone and a smile on her face. Nothing can fall through the cracks while Laura is around because she is a rockstar. For example, our florist was one boutonniere short. Panic? Not with Laura around. She literally created a boutonniere on the spot. Can I tell which one she made in our pictures? Absolutely not. Simply put, Laura and Simply Events will make your life significantly better during the final planning and coordination and her calming presence is a must for day of.
Laura is the best.
Working with Laura was an incredible experience from start to finish! She has an amazing eye for detail and made sure everything was beautiful. I'm a nervous person to begin with lol and she made everything flow smoothly. She even caught a mistake I had made that could've resulted in a big mishap! Our wedding day was perfect and that was in big part thanks to Laura. Hands down one of the best wedding decisions we made!
I had the best experience working with Laura and Kaitlyn from Simply Events!! I hired them for day-of-coordination and I can't explain how at ease they made me feel the day of our wedding. Any issue that came up were handled quickly and professionally, and I always felt that they had mine and my husband's best interest/preference in mind. Laura was extremely organized and provided me with a ton of info to help in planning our wedding before her team took over. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they helped to schedule meetings with all of our vendors and ensure that what we wanted was what was being provided. They even read through and kept copies of our contracts with our vendors. In addition to helping us coordinate the whole wedding day, they also helped to orchestrate our rehearsal, and made sure that all of our unique elements were executed perfectly (including mixing paint for us for our unity ceremony!!) Overall, I don't think our wedding would have gone as smoothly without Laura, Kaitlyn, and their team. I cannot thank them enough, and believe that they should be so proud of the work that they do. Would absolutely recommend!!!
Our wedding truly wouldn't have been possible without Laura and her Simply Events team! We hired Laura about a year before the wedding for full service planning and I knew it was worth it from our very first meeting. She saved us so much time and money. We wouldn't have known half the questions to ask vendors on our own. She truly thinks of every detail and flawlessly guided us through the process. You can tell she cares about her couples! If that wasn't enough, our Green Acres wedding day was absolute perfection. Laura and her team handled all the details and logistics from behind the scenes so we could enjoy every moment with our friends and family. If you need a logistics queen who knows all the questions to ask that you don't, hire Laura!!
Laura was the best investment we made when planning our wedding. We hired her to come on two months before our wedding but she was valuable even before then with vendor recommendations and other add on services like creating our timeline. The weeks leading up to our wedding were stress free while Laura communicated with all of our vendors and made suggestions about ways to make our day run more smoothly. On the day of, things went perfectly and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Laura did so much behind the scenes to make sure everything looked how we envisioned and also helped us keep on time so we never felt rushed and could just enjoy our day. We can’t recommend Laura and her team enough.
Simply Events & Laura are worth every. freaking. penny! Simply Events provided the day of coordination for our wedding reception and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made. With Simply Events' day of package, you get SO much more than what you would think of as a "day of" coordinator. Laura provided support to us throughout our entire planning process - which was extended for an additional year thanks to COVID. When we were making the difficult decision to postpone our 2020 wedding, Laura talked us through everything and made the decision significantly less painful. In the months leading up to our wedding, Laura provided SO much support. She helped us look over contracts and make decisions about vendors. We did a backyard reception at my grandma's house so it was A LOT of management, and it 100% would have been a disaster without Laura there to guide the way. She made sure we had everything we needed to pull the event off including review the insane number of lists I made, and on top of that made sure we were getting the most bang for our buck on everything. On the day of, Laura and her team executed our vision for the day perfectly - our tent set up honestly looked like it was straight off of Pinterest despite being 85% DIY (which I now understand is far, far, far too much DIY). Not only did Laura provide excellent logistical support, she also provided a TON of emotional support - basically she became my wedding therapist. She is kind, thoughtful, supportive, super communicative, and there for you 100% throughout the process which is exactly what everyone needs in a coordinator. Laura is the person who will get a bee out of your veil before you walk down the aisle (seriously, this happened) and help you bustle your dress at the end of the night, all while managing your event flawlessly. Hire Laura & Simply Events - you will not be disappointed!
Simply Events provided an amazing service to us for our wedding. Laura was our full service wedding planner, and she always went above and beyond our expectations. We worked together for a little over a year while we lived in St. Louis. Laura was so accommodating of our schedules and let me be hands on when I wanted to be. I was the first one to get married in my family, and Laura helped with all of the modern wedding etiquette, and timing of when things needed to be booked and scheduled. It was so helpful for us as a couple, but are families were just as grateful for her help! Laura took care of so many things for us behind the scenes, the week out of the wedding I had no stress I really got to enjoy all of the fun events we had planned. Everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding. We had a smaller, intimate wedding with a lot of little details. Laura and her team had everything set up so perfectly. She made our vision come a reality. We were so happy with all of the vendors Laura helped us pick out. She worked so well with everyone and really helped us have a perfect day. Laura was an amazing wedding planner and could not recommend her enough.
Completely worth it! We got the day of planning package and worked with Laura and Kaitlyn. They were the best! They confirmed everything with our vendors ahead of time and created a day of timeline to keep us all on track. On our wedding day, they were calm and super sweet, which kept me calm knowing they had everything under control! I couldn’t recommend them enough, my wedding day would not have been as perfect without them!
Laura was absolutely invaluable during our wedding planning process. We hired her for full planning (right after we booked our venue but I know she can help with that too) and she was with us through every step of the way. She was knowledgable about local vendors and brings a wealth of information about what works best from her previous weddings. Additionally her and her day of staff are the absolute sweetest and kept us on track all day. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Wow! What a day and we could not have done it without Laura and her team! We did day of planning with her and it is worth every penny! She started with us 2 months before our date and she allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day! Thank you Thank you!
Out of all the decisions I made for my wedding, hiring Laura was the best one. I honestly don't know how I would have survived wedding planning (honestly I probably wouldn't have) if it wasn't for Laura. From the first conversation I had with Laura, I knew she would be a perfect fit. She was easy going and really took charge, which was perfect for my husband and I who wanted minimal decisions. Laura was also very flexible with the packages she offered to ensure that we only paid for the services we absolutely needed. My favorite part about working with Laura was the budget and month-by-month (and even day-by-day as it got closer to the wedding) checklist she created for us. It helped keep us in check on what needed to be done each month leading up to the wedding and also ensured we stayed within a reasonable budget. Laura made herself available all the time for the millions of questions we had especially as we got closer to the wedding. And to top it all off, wedding day went off without a hitch. It was seriously the best day of my life and the least stressful day ever with Laura by my side. Nothing...and I mean nothing...went wrong on wedding day. And I owe it all to Laura. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone else and would work with her again if I needed to plan another major event.
One of the best choices we made was hiring Laura! She truly is amazing at what she does. When we postponed our wedding she was so accommodating! Laura had great relationships with many of my vendors. As soon as I told them we were working with Laura they all were excited because they knew everything would be organized and perfect! Laura makes wedding planning stress free and fun!
Even before I was engaged, I knew I wanted a day-of coordinator to help my wedding go as smoothly as possible. From our first conversation, Laura put me at ease and made me feel like our wedding was in good hands. She was incredibly flexible with us moving our date due to COVID. Leading up to our reception, Laura's planning helped put my nerves at ease. She had everything taken care of - scheduling final calls with vendors, helping with a timeline. I just knew I could trust her to handle everything I threw at her! The day of our reception went so well and it was great knowing that I could find Laura, and she would handle anything that I asked of her. The best part of having Laura there was actually the morning after. My husband and I woke up and both said we didn't have any of our cake/desserts and really wished we had some. We went downstairs and Laura had packed us TWO dessert boxes! It was honestly the icing on the cake and I am so happy that we decided to use her services. I cannot recommend her enough!
Laura at Simply Events quickly became one of my FAVORITE people during my wedding planning process. I knew I wanted a wedding coordinator to help primarily with coordinating the last 2 months of planning so I hired Simply Events early in my planning. As such, I also got the advantage of Laura's expertise throughout the planning process by utilizing consultation hours - She talked me off the ledge of wedding planning more than once and always solved any problem like it was nothing! She was a critical and trusted partner those last 2 months getting all the details together and our wedding would not have come together so beautifully and smoothly without her. Her day-of timeline was amazing and got so many compliments! Laura and Kathy helped our day go so smoothly (and ahead of schedule), solving numerous mini-crises (wardrobe malfunctions, sick family members who had to be replaced for readings, and probably things I don't even know!) And they helped our reception space come together so beautifully! I was in AWE! With Laura and her team by your side, you and your partner - and your people (parents, MOH, best man, etc) - will get to simply enjoy the day and not sweat the details! I cannot recommend Simply Events enough: Laura makes magic happen!!
I reached out to Laura about 6 weeks before my wedding, and by some miracle, she and her team had our date available. We were coming down to the final stages of planning and there was a lot of confusion and decisions that still needed to be made, and Laura was a life saver! Not only did she become the main point of contact between me and all of my vendors, but after our initial phone call she had already put together a perfectly crafted timeline for the day. It was such a relief to know that she was on top of everything and she even offered her advice and guidance if I was unsure of something. On the day of the wedding, she took photos to confirm that the decor and setup was exactly what I wanted, and checked on me throughout the day to make sure everything was going smoothly. On my wedding day I did not have a worry in the world because I knew Laura was on top of it. If you are hesitant as to whether a planner is worth it or not, I can assure you that it is, 100%. I can't put into words how appreciative I am of Laura and her team!
Yes, yes, yes - You need a day of coordinator! Laura was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made the month leading up to the wedding and wedding day stress free! She worked the timeline, ran final meetings, and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth day. Would highly recommend!
Laura is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her company to anyone who wants help taking off some wedding stress! As a bride who was not super on top of dates and contacting vendors, she took that role head on and set up / contacted all my vendors to make sure the day went smoothly! I was so happy that on the day of the wedding I could be in the moment and myself or my family did not have to worry about details, set up, vendors, etc. She was also extremely reasonable in her pricing; we found out our venue provided a service that we originally had planned on Laura doing and she actively tried to reduce unnecessary expenses which I appreciate as well!
My review echos all of the amazing reviews! Laura was a necessity on our wedding day. She helped me feel at ease and worked so well with all of the other vendors to help the entire day go off without a hitch. For the two months leading up to the wedding, her expertise was clear as she continued to bring up details I hadn't thought of. Laura was an intricate part of the final coordination with all of our vendors, we could not have done it without her!
What a great find! As the ceremony musician, I worked with Laura on the behind-the-scenes logistics. She was very communicative, friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with throughout the process. At the rehearsal, when the officiant did not attend unexpectedly, Laura seamlessly took charge of a relatively complicated rehearsal process (Catholic mass), making everyone feel at ease for the special day to come. Laura coordinated efforts with me, the couple, the on-site wedding coordinator, and others, finalizing the details unflappably, positively, and collaboratively. Her professionalism continued at the reception, as she went out of her way to engage with guests, making everyone feel welcome as she continued to manage the progress of events. Laura's calming influence on a joyous event with lots of moving parts (!) helped everyone feel relaxed, and I would enjoy the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
We signed up for their two-month out plan with Laura Neeb being our coordinator. Laura was highly recommended by a family friend whose daughter just got married. My now-husband and I met with her and we instantly knew she was the perfect person to help us plan our big day. Laura didn't officially start her job with us until two months out but she went above and beyond before that by giving us vendor recommendations. She not only listed vendors but also gave average pricing and details that were extremely helpful. When she did start officially working with us she was extremely thorough. She had many amazing ideas to make our day even better than we could have imagined. Laura was there to answer questions at any hour. I felt extremely supported by her. She coordinated with all vendors and created a great timeline and did a lot more. She focused a lot on the logistics of the day which helped us focus more on the fun things that happen close to a wedding. She also was extremely responsive to any changes we wanted to make. We really felt like she was always in our corner. On the day of she had her team working on setting up and it all went so smoothly. They also took pictures of the details of the wedding and made a very sweet blog post about our day. It was so nice to see all the details put into place!! If you get the opportunity to work with Laura take it!!! We are so grateful for all of her hard work!
Laura was THE best! Hiring Laura to help as a wedding coordinator was the best money I spent during this entire process. She is so incredibly organized, punctual, kind, and creative! She responded to emails, texts, and phone calls quickly. She gave me ideas for decorating when I was stuck. She executed my vision on my special day and I couldn’t have done it without her!
I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Laura is. I planned my wedding myself and put so much time, effort and love into making it represent us as best as possible. I realized I needed someone to execute my plan and bring my vision to life the day of so I hired Laura to do this. After speaking with her the first time I knew she was the person for the job. She began working with me closely 2 months before the wedding and ensured that everything ran smoothly with all my vendors. She attended the final walk through, helped me make my seating chart and think through things I had no experience planning. Throughout the planning process I found myself quite disappointed with other vendors' response time and even lack of effort but NEVER with Laura. She always responded immediately and was diligent with every task. I am a person who is a natural planner and find it hard to let go and let someone else take the wheel but can honestly say I felt 100% confident in Laura and never worried about delegating tasks to her. I felt so much more relaxed knowing that she was in charge of coming up with a day of timeline and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. My makeup artist got a bit lost trying to find me and I didn't even have to know because Laura was in contact with her and helped her get to me on time the day of my wedding. I could go on and on. Hiring her was the best money I spent on our wedding and I wish I could afford to pay her even more because she absolutely deserves it. If you are looking for a coordinator that will listen to you, is experienced/knowledge and dependable look no further! Hire Simply Events, I promise you that you will not regret it.
Hiring Laura and her team for our wedding was the best decision ever. Laura helped us every step of the way, always making sure everything was being done on time (or ahead of schedule) and on budget. From our engagement all the way up until the morning after our wedding, Laura was there making sure everything was running smoothly. Her organization and communication skills go above and beyond. Our wedding was in Columbus and even though she is based out of Cincinnati, she was always willing to make the trips up for any meetings. Our wedding day was perfect and we owe it all to Laura and her team. Thank you Simply Events!
Our daughter had the most perfect, beautiful wedding in June 22 with the excellent help of Laura and her team. We couldn’t have pulled it off without them. Not only did they ensure everything went like clock work, they were virtually invisible and non-intrusive to the celebration. They gracefully swooped in to take care if things when necessary, then behind the scenes.
The planning process was also amazing. Laura kept us on track and in budget with the least amount of stress possible. I would highly recommend Laura and get team. Oh, BTW, I found Laura through our Son’s wedding which was fabulous as well!
Laura and her team are amazing! Laura is so professional and easy to work with. She is very knowledgeable about wedding planning and is so organized. She was my calming voice and right hand during the months leading to the wedding. She is on top of every planning detail so when the Big day comes you feel at ease. I am so happy that she was apart of my special day and she made sure everything went along with the timeline that day. She is affordable and a great wedding planner that I would highly recommend!
Laura and team were a crew of magicians. She helped guide me through the nuances of planning, offered practical advice and by the time we were done I knew Laura wanted me to have the day of my dreams. We had rain (always anticipated in Ohio) and Laura's team was able to switch to our backup plan seamlessly. Fantastic work and I'm so grateful to have had Simply Events as part of our big day.
Laura of Simply Events was selected as the full service planner for my daughter’s wedding. From our first meeting we knew the planning would be an enjoyable journey. From start to finish, she made sure every detail was taken care of. We are still hearing comments about the wedding/reception, and we know having Simply Events working behind the scenes made it happen. We are very appreciate of her for making the day beautiful and enjoyable for everyone.
Hiring Laura was probably the best decision we could have made for our wedding! She went above and beyond to give us the day of our dreams! She not only finalized every detail but put our minds at ease with phone conferences and giving advice from what worked best in the past. Her expertise and quick problem solving set her apart from the rest.
Every vendor that I had at our wedding enjoyed working with Laura. She is organized and had our event down to the minute. There was no confusion or special moment missed. She attended meetings and asked questions that didn’t cross my mind.
I knew Laura truly cared about our day! I honestly don’t think our day would have been the same without Laura! Best decision we could have made! If you want a stress free wedding... hire Laura and her team!! I was not one bit stressed on our day and that is because of Laura! There were no uncertainties, no miscommunication, no mishaps in our planning due to her organization, precision, and dedication to her business. She loves what she does and she loves her brides!!
Laura and her team from Simply Events orchestrated the best possible wedding weekend for my husband and me. From the beginning of her time with me through the wedding day - Laura was organized, prepared, and did everything in her power to make the day go smoothly and to lessen my load. The wedding day went off without a hitch and we could not have done it without her! We had the absolute best time at our wedding and Simply Events was crucial in orchestrating that - enabling my husband and me to remain relaxed and present while the wedding logistics went on around us. Could not recommend enough!
Laura and her team are fantastic! I would recommend them to everyone.
I interned for Laura many years ago and when the time came around to when I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to call to make sure my day went smoothly. Being familiar with the industry I knew that, at the very least, a day of coordinator was essential. Simply Events is perfect because even if you do day of only, they still get involved months prior to make sure they have all the details they need and communicate with the vendors so everything goes smoothly.
Before the big day, Laura had every detail accounted for, was very quick to reply and make adjustments when necessary, knew every angle to look at, was very available for communication, knew almost all of my vendors from previous experience, and handled everything I needed and more. I know she saved me, my mom, my husband, and everyone else involved a lot of headache by making sure everything was well organized.
We used her and her team for day of set up and coordination. They were there from the reception prep starting at 11am through dinner until 7pm. It was the perfect amount of time for us because I was confident they could get everything set beautifully, which they did at both the reception and the ceremony, and still coordinate the entire timeline of the bridal party and vendors before passing it off to our capable DJ.
The day of, Laura checked in with us throughout the day to make sure everything was running smoothly, she grabbed items for me that accidentally got left in the bridal suite that needed to get to the ceremony, she handled the final payments and tips for all of our vendors so my MOH or myself didn't have to worry about it, she corralled a very rambunctious bridal party when it was time to enter the reception, and check in with me and my husband when they were getting ready to head out in case there was anything else we needed.
She was there to make sure everything went according to plan. And if it didn't, I had no idea! Just like it should be for the bride on her big day.
Laura and her team are fantastic and you would be doing yourself a big favor by adding them to your vendor team for your big day.
Laura from Simply Events did an outstanding job not only in coordination support for my my daughter's recent wedding, she was also very familiar with many popular vendorS, and helped us save money across the board. Laura is extremely professional and detail oriented....the big day was perfect and went very smoothly, freeing us to enjoy the day. I would strongly recommend Laura if you want a perfect stress free wedding day!
Laura and her team are amazing at what they do. They made our wedding day perfect. We couldn't have done it all without them. Highly recommend!
Laura was fantastic – professional, experienced, organized, and a pleasure to work with throughout! I was an out-of-town mother of the bride and starting to feel a little overwhelmed. We hired Laura and her team for our daughter’s wedding as the day of coordinator. Laura pulled everything together. She met with us and performed walk throughs, offered great suggestions (based on her prior experiences), conducted numerous conference calls with us and our vendors, executed all our ideas and set up to perfection, handled multiple final details, coordinated all vendors, worked with photographer and videographer to pull off our surprise mascots’ visit – making the presentation phenomenal. In every aspect Laura was the best wedding decision we made.
Laura and her team are absolutely fabulous! Initially, I didn't think a wedding coordinator was necessary for our relatively small wedding, however, I could not have been more wrong! This was the best money spent on our entire wedding! Laura was so great at coordinating all vendor logistics and helping with a last minute time error with one vendor. She even worked behind the scenes with my mom to pull off a few big surprises for us - we had no clue and were delightfully surprised. Thank you so much, Laura!
Laura is EXCELLENT. I would highly recommend her to anyone. As a budget conscious bride, I was cutting costs at every corner and I was very against a wedding planner in the beginning, naively thinking I could handle those details myself. Our wedding was unique - we were having a small ceremony out in a field with just family and then a larger reception elsewhere on the same property. Booking Laura was the absolute best thing we ever did - worth it and then some. She has so much knowledge and experience. There are so many things that you don't consider with planning a wedding, especially a backyard wedding and Laura thought of everything, offered advice, and kept things organized and on track. She offered advice but allowed us to make all of the decisions and really make our wedding our own. Our outdoor wedding actually ended up raining all day due to a hurricane and Laura stuck through it with a smile on her face. She did not panic with the terrible weather and helped keep the bride and groom calm. She did so much to make the evening run smoothly. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and honestly and truly, we could not have gotten through the mess of the weather and chaos of a backyard wedding without her.
I cannot recommend Laura and her team highly enough - they were fantastic! Laura was amazing throughout the planning process and still managed to exceed my expectations come our wedding day. I appreciated her calm demeanor and advice throughout the planning process, and her professionalism on our wedding day. She's down to earth and honest, and I received so many compliments from our wedding guests about what an amazing job she did, and I couldn't have agreed more! I can't imagine planning a wedding without her!
Laura definitely was the best! There is no question of who to use for your events! Look no further! She will take care of all your planning needs. She is very accessible and so easy to talk to. Her assistant for my wedding was SO sweet as well. I am very happy I chose Simply Events.
Hiring Simply Events was literally the best choice we made for our wedding. Laura was incredibly on top of everything and was available to answer any question I had about the wedding. When attending our final vendor meetings, she always took care of details that I never would have thought of. Examples: are we using our own cake server or does the caterer need to provide one? Black tablecloths are better for the DJ because it hides their cables, etc. I wasn’t very particular about the way my décor was set up in the venue, so I left her with all the supplies and she setup the entire venue on the day of while I was enjoying hair and makeup with my girls. She and her team set up all 32 tablecloths and centerpieces, the cake table, all of the signage, and all of the other little details for the décor and it turned out so beautifully. If I listed everything she did for us in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the actual day, this review would be pages and pages long.
The best part of hiring Simply Events was the peace of mind. The weeks before the wedding, I wasn’t stressed at all because I trusted that Laura had thought of everything that needed to be confirmed and taken care of. I was actually able to enjoy the last few weeks of my engagement which was invaluable. On the day of, I could focus on my husband and all my family and friends because I knew Simply Events had everything under control. Overall, I could not recommend Simply Events more highly and I am definitely telling all of my engaged friends to hire them!
I was one of those brides that really didn't think I needed a planner/coordinator until about 2 weeks before the wedding. I had 90% of everything finalized but was worrying out about all the different moving parts on the actual day and confirming all the vendors I'd already booked. I called MANY Cincinnati Wedding planners that were downright rude and said I should have reached out months ago and that they would not adjust their huge fee even though I basically had everything done. Enter Laura. She did not dismiss me or make me feel like I was crazy. She said she was more than happy to provide a day of coordination for an hourly price and that she would call and confirm all my vendors. She sat down with me and confirmed my timeline and venue details and offered some helpful tips (like already plated salads). She was KIND and told me every wedding is different and its okay not to need a lot of planning just some coordination because they customized their services to each bride. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate her and what she did. She lowered my anxiety the week before my wedding exponentially and made sure the day went seamlessly. Thank you for everything Laura, we are so appreciative!
I can not recommend Simply Events enough! Laura and her team took care of every last detail—even things I didn’t even think of! I could tell that Laura really cared about the success of my event, and wanted everything to go smoothly so my family and I could enjoy the wedding weekend. I used Simply Events for day of coordination services, and my wedding day went actually went perfectly! I felt so secure knowing Laura and Danielle were there with us or just a call away to take care of any unforeseen issues. Every bride absolutely needs a professional to help run the show the day of, and Simply Events is an obvious choice. With the service and price they just can’t be beat!
It's a cliche, but I truly cannot say enough great things about Laura and the Simply Events team! From contract negotiation and planning, throughout and even after the big day, Laura was always accessible, knowledgable, professional, and more than helpful. Though my husband and I had their most basic package (which was very reasonable), we always felt like we were her first priority.
Laura kept us organized throughout the process of contracting vendors, timeline planning, decorating, and celebrating. She thought of details that would never have occurred to us and made all necessary adjustments when we encountered unforeseen and last minute changes (coordinating all the vendors when we ran behind schedule and helping my parents load our decor at the end of the night).
Thanks to Simply Events, my venue was decorated more beautifully than I could have imagined. I even received some photos that Laura and her team took of details our guests and photographers never got the chance to capture. Laura truly looks after every detail and will go out of her way to ensure that you have a beautiful, stress-free wedding day. I had complete peace of mind that everything would go off without a hitch and every one of my guests would have a great time--and thanks to Laura and all of our other wonderful vendors--they did!
We used Laura Gall as our "day of" wedding planner and was it ever worth it!! She made the day a breeze by her suburb organization skills the month or so the event. On the wedding day, neither the bride nor the MOB were stressed over any details because Laura made the entire event easy and allowed us to just enjoy! Highly, highly recommend!
Laura is an absolutely incredible wedding planner. I highly recommend using her fully service planning if you can spring it. Her full service planning made wedding planning from Texas a breeze and was worth every last penny. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew that I could trust her vision, method, and decision making. I felt more organized than I ever have, because Laura is very detail oriented and kept me on schedule. Since we planned our wedding from out of state, Laura was happy to stand in for me at various vendor calls and visits which allowed us to make the most of our planning trips to Ohio and enjoy the parts of the planning process for which we truly cared. Her vendor recommendations were spot on, and everyone at my wedding gushed about the photographer, catering, floral, band, and desserts. Second only to making my wedding dreams a beautiful reality, was her ability to keep us on budget throughout the whole process without feeling like we were giving up anything. My husband appreciated this, and he was also very impressed with how smoothly the wedding weekend flowed because of her attention to detail. I just received my sneek peak photos from the wedding, and I love seeing how happy everyone is, including my husband and myself, which I truly think is a reflection of how beautiful, fun and flawless the day was under Laura's care. I am truly going to miss her!
Laura and her team, Danielle and Katie, were beyond outstanding! Laura's advice, patience, expertise is beyond compare! You will truly never find a better planner for your wedding. Every detail is addressed, Laura's level of communication with parents, bride and groom is unbelievable and we would simply use her 1,000 times over! Simply Events does not miss a beat! We love them!!!!!! ~ Mother of the Bride
Laura did an EXCELLENT job at keeping everyone on task and making sure everything went off without a hitch. My sister and I were married 5 weeks apart and Laura was able to keep us ALL on track with both weddings. In fact, I think I can say that my sister and I are two of the only brides I know who's weddings went PERFECTLY. there is not one detail that was missed and I have Laura and her team to thank for that! 10/10 would recommend :)
Laura rocks! Period. End of story. She takes charge and gets things done in such a seamless and perfect way. Could not have asked for anything more on our special night. Highly recommend Laura!
Laura (owner) was amazing to work with! We used her “day of” services for the wedding. Neither of us are from Cincinnati and wanted our families to enjoy the day and not have coordinate anything. That’s where Laura came in. She took over a few weeks before the wedding calling the vendors to coordinate, set up times and created a detailed timeline. It was down to the minute and very helpful. Thank you Laura!
Hiring Laura and her team was the absolute BEST decision I made during the wedding planning process. Do not think twice about using Simply Events because they are simply the best and will assure that your day is more perfect than you could ever imagine! Laura is so organized, attentive, and extremely helpful. From start to finish Laura made herself available and was such a pleasure to work with. Laura goes above and beyond through the entire process. I had a couple small signs that needed to be made leading up to the day and she was so quick to offer and took that task right out of my hands. Not only did she take care of helping finish these details, they were executed more beautifully than anything I could have bought or done myself. Living in Chicago and planning a wedding in Cincinnati the calls Laura organized with each vendor gave me the peace of mind every bride needs. Laura asked each vendor questions that I had written down before I even had to mention them, and additional questions I never thought of that helped make sure the day went by flawlessly. She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted and more importantly made sure it was exactly what I dreamed of on the day of. She knows her stuff and truly makes sure the day is executed perfectly. I can’t stop raving about Simply Events and find myself constantly saying that the week leading up to my wedding was the least stressful week all year and that was all due to Laura and her team!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. I hired her to help me with my daughters' wedding day and she went over and beyond my expectations. She was always accessible prior to the wedding day to answer questions in a timely manner. She contacted my vendors and made sure they had all the information I had given her. She had us all organized and my vendors even commented on how organized she was. I am so glad I hired her and highly recommend her services.
Laura is SO good at what she does! From start to finish, she was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations for a wedding planner. My husband and I had a very small ceremony in North Carolina, and then had a huge outdoor reception back here in Cincinnati at a home residence. This means we had to select and bring in all of the vendors and make sure everything coordinated. Laura took on all of this responsibility and managed everything for us. Her expansive knowledge and expertise was crucial in choosing appropriate vendors and ordering appropriate items. She was quick to reach out to vendors on my behalf to get things taken care of. She was continuously confirming and reconfirming times/details/orders with all of the vendors to ensure that everything was in order. She worked hard to understand my "vision" and all my ideas for how I wanted everything to look and feel. She spent so much time creating decor boards, tent layouts, floral orders, and so much more to pull everything together. She came to every planning meeting with me and even came to my DIY session at FlowerMan (which was EIGHT HOURS LONG!)! She should be a florist in her second career -- she's amazing at that, too! Laura even helped transport all of the buckets of "extra" florals and greenery from the DIY session and brought it to the reception the next day! So awesome. And always eager to help in any way (and every way!). Laura also came out to the home residence several times -- for planning meetings, details meetings, tent delivery, chair/table delivery, etc. She even took all my cloth napkins home with her once they were delivered and she folded them in her spare time -- in every aspect of the planning process, she went above and beyond.
On the day of the event, she and her team arrived at the home residence very early (11am!) to set everything up. She decided to come even a little earlier than planned because she wanted to make some additional greenery garlands (out of the extra greenery) for our sweetheart table -- this was completely her idea, but fit my theme and "vision" so perfectly and I'm so glad she was willing and motivated to do things like this. She and her team were so professional and hard working throughout the entire day. They worked so hard to make all of my Pinterest ideas and visions come to life :) They also handled all of the vendors arriving and setting up (DJ, bartender, floral delivery, cake delivery, late night pizza truck, etc.). I would have been swarmed with questions, arrivals, and "to-do"s if Laura and her team hadn't been there to take care of everything. She handled any "hiccups" throughout the night without disturbing my family or my husband and I.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Laura is! She is so professional, punctual, flexible, knowledgeable, experienced, hard working, responsive, and so much more! She went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you, Simply Events!!!!
Laura’s professionalism and services far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Laura and her team, their efforts provided a most memorable wedding reception and we have received wonderful feedback from many family and friends. What more can you ask for when everyone is happy, thanks to Laura.
Wow, I really could not have had a better experience with a wedding planner. We booked the Royal Treatment package and worked with Laura for a year leading up to our wedding. It was the smoothest, easiest, and most stress-free process. Laura is communicative, kind, poised, and has an eye for detail. In addition to helping with the planning, contacting vendors, managing payments and timelines (and much more), she also designed and printed our menus, programs, and place cards, and they couldn't have looked better! Laura is the best wedding planner I could have ever dreamed of working with!
If you are planning a modern-day wedding with all the vendors and details and Pinterest worthy things - you need Laura and her team from Simply Events! Laura made herself SO accessible to my fiance and I throughout the end of our wedding planning! We booked the Emerald Package and then customized it to fit our needs. Laura was amazing on the day of and I would have NEVER been able to do it without her and her team! They honestly pulled off my wedding for me! Laura was always on top of small details that I was forgetting and doing little things to make it look perfect! She was the bomb! I highly recommend Simply Events for all your planning and coordinating needs! My husband and I are so grateful we booked with Laura at Simply Events!
In short: Laura and her team treat you like its their own wedding day. It sounds totally cheesy, but truly if I could give Laura more stars here I would. She's a no-brainer addition to the wedding and worth every single penny (and this is from a frugle person!). I particularly appreciated her extreme attention to every single detail (especially the ones I totally forgot about like printing out a guest shuttle itinerary and petitions), her educated opinions, and budget-friendly suggestions. I have and will continue to recommend her to every bride to be. My wedding was planned from afar (we live in Seattle, and were married in Cincinnati) -- so I KNOW that she can handle the long-distance brides as well! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about my experience, if anyone would like more details.
Simply Amazing! I hired Laura for the 2 month package, and she was my lifeline throughout the entire process. Her expansive wedding knowledge and impressive attention to detail made the whole process so easy and smooth. She went above and beyond to make sure every little aspect of the wedding was taken care of and took all of the stress off of me. Her and her team on the day of executed everything to PERFECTION. Last minute, we decided to make our ceremony outdoors, and Laura and her team got straight to work and the ceremony turned out flawless. I couldn't have imagined doing all of this without Laura- she was a joy to work with and really made our wedding day one to remember!!
Laura is an excellent wedding coordinator and was great to work with!! At first my husband didn’t understand why we needed a “day of coordinator” but after the wedding he said it was the best vendor decision we made. Laura was helpful every step of the way and expertly walked the fine line of keeping everyone on schedule without being overbearing or ruining the fun.
All of our vendors said she was easy to work with and she was able to offer us great advice regarding what works well: not only in general, but on a personalized level with our chosen venues, bands, photographers, guest list, etc. She really helped us plan our big day and make our dream wedding come true – we would highly recommend her to any engaged couple!!
I'm not sure what I would have done without Laura from Simply Events. My wedding truly came together because of her. Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially from 2 states away, but she helped ease my mind. I could count on her to answer my questions and solve problems, and I can't thank her enough!
I used Simply Events for our daughter's December 2016 wedding. We contracted Laura for her Day-Of package. She keep in touch with me months before the wedding just to touch base and offer advice. The week of the wedding she was at the final tie down mtg at our reception venue and took all the little details that had to be done out of my hands. Laura was knowledgable, efficient and very professional. She was really a joy to work with - I would highly recommend Simply Events, they take the stress out of your special day! MOB
Laura did a fantastic job. Our wedding had some hiccups, which I'm sure most do, but with her help the wedding day went really smooth. Her and her staff were amazing.
We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding day! All because of Laura, she helped with everything, I had no idea what planning a wedding was really about.. without her we would have been so lost! She did everything to insure us it would be the best day of our lives! It was a stress free day, and she made sure of it! I would recommend her to anyone that is getting married! It was a beautiful day, and Laura was on top of it all! Thank you so much again Laura!
Adam and I were pleased beyond our expectations with our decision to selected Simply Event’s Simply the Royal Treatment package for our October 2016 wedding. Planning a Cincinnati Wedding from Texas seemed overwhelming before we met Laura. Now, I could not imagine doing it without her expertise and congenial manner. During our wedding planner search, Laura was easily accessible via phone, email or text message (and continued to be so throughout the planning process), her packages were concise and straight forward as well as reasonably priced. Laura’s knowledge of the industry was vital in helping us find and select vendors in our price range and who met our wedding day vision. Laura’s excellent communication and organizational skills, as well as professionalism, attention to detail and design abilities made our dream day possible and stress free. Laura and her team took care of all the Day-Of details allowing Adam and me as well as our families to relax and enjoy the celebration. Thank-you to Laura and the Simply Events team, our wedding day was better than we could have imagined.
Laura is truly truly the best! We were looking for someone affordable who knew what they were doing to help us out on the day of our wedding, and Laura went well above expectations. She handled EVERYTHING the week of our wedding, making it stress free for all of us. She coordinated with vendors for me during the week and day of - I was not worried for a second about how things would go. On the day of, she handled the set up our ceremony flawlessly and the transition into our reception with ease. Everything looked even more put together and beautiful than I could have imagined. Laura herself is a joy to work with. She is meticulous with details, has a wonderful sense of humor, and really focuses on making your day perfect. I would highly highly recommend.
Planning a wedding is HARD and I truly can't thank Laura and Simply Events for making the entire process and day-of such an enjoyable and memorable experience from start to finish. I'll admit that I was incredibly overwhelmed at the start of the planning process and felt an immediate sense of relief when I found Laura. From our first phone conversation I could tell that Laura was not only personable, but also very organized, proactive and committed to making our day the best it could be. I also found the Simply Events packages to be reasonably priced AND easy-to-understand, which was not the case with the other coordinators I had met with previously. Fast forward to our wedding day and I don't know how we would have done it without Laura and Danielle. They were on top of EVERY detail and made it easy for me to relax and enjoy every moment, instead of worrying about everything happening behind-the-scenes. I remember my bridesmaids asking me how I was so calm...and I know this would not have been the case without Laura and Danielle there to field questions, help with set-up and manage the flurry of vendors coming in and out throughout the day. I would highly recommend their services and can't thank them enough for playing such a huge role in our wedding day.
Laura from Simply Events was amazing! Our wedding was seamless and there is no way we could have done it without her. We had a venue that required bringing everything in, and Laura did a flawless job of organizing and coordinating all of them. We had only hired Laura for the 'day-of' package, but she went above and beyond the call of duty contacting vendors weeks before the event taking a lot of stress out of the time leading up to the wedding. She made sure all loose ends were tied. Also, even though the bar tending company showed up with one less bartender than originally promised, Laura and her team stepped up to help bus drinks themselves. I would absolutely recommend Laura for your wedding!
We booked Simply Events about a year before our wedding and went with the Day-Of Package, initially to the Father-of-the-Bride's shegrin. He expressed several times that he did not see the value in paying someone to take care of the details the day of the wedding. Starting about 3 months before the wedding, Laura and Kelly began working with us on final preparations. The way with which they worked with us with organization, timeliness, responsiveness, and accessibility was a breath of fresh air. They thought of everything that could possibly go wrong and helped us come up with potential solutions. I never felt as though they were too busy to take my call or help me think through an issue. The area where Simply Events added the most value, to me, was helping to run the rehearsal and procession the day-of. They were collaborative with our priests (we had 2) during the rehearsal and very good at keeping our huge family focused and in-line. Our photographer was highly complementary of how easy Laura and Kelly were to work with and how integral Simply Events was in facilitating the photos. After all was said and done, my dad - who made his skepticism very clear - had a change of heart and was SO appreciative of Simply Event's services. He and the rest of our family members were able to relax and enjoy the day as everything was taken care of. As the Bride, I felt they did a fantastic job keeping me unaware of any issues that may have come up during the course of the day, which was so important for me and my sanity. Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about Simply Events. They truly go above and beyond for their clients and made our wedding (and the start to our marriage) so enjoyable, carefree and memorable. Thank you! ~Kristen
Planning a wedding in Cincinnati from New York was a challenge in itself. Another challenge is being unfamiliar with venues and vendors in the area. From the beginning, Laura was very helpful in recommending vendors that she has worked with in the past. It made me feel at ease that vendors I selected work well with wedding planners. Planning the timeline and details with Laura allowed me to think of little details that I would never have remembered to consider. She helped us save on some rentals and purchases too by meeting and talking with our vendors for us. But the best part of hiring their team is the ease I felt on the day of knowing someone else was taking care of making sure everything was in place and on time. My now husband and I along with our family, truly enjoyed every moment of our wedding day because we didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you Simply Events! <3
Laura and her team at Simply Events were amazing. I live in NYC but was planning a wedding in Ohio and knew that I would need help in executing this wedding. After one meeting with Laura, I immediately felt at ease. She knew all the questions to ask and she was right there for all of the meeting with the vendors leading up to the wedding as well as being available 24/7 for me the week leading up to the wedding. The day of, we were blessed with a storm a few hours before our outdoor event. Not only did Laura and her team stay cool and calm, they were able to coordinate with my vendors of the delay as well as all my guests at the hotel on top of cleaning and resetting for the ceremony and reception with just a few hours. She was beyond amazing and I would not hesitate to recc. her to anyone looking for a professional wedding coordinator. Top notch!
Thanks Laura for making my wedding so special!
We hired Laura to help us with the day of planning and it went excellent! We met with her and our vendors a few months before the wedding to go over last minute details and i was able to call, text, or email any time i had questions and she was able to promptly get back with me on an answer. Her insight in wedding planning was extremely helpful and showed how professional she carried herself. I would highly recommend Laura and Simply Events!
Hiring the Simply Events staff was the best money we spent for our wedding day!! I got to truly ENJOY my wedding day, because I knew Simply Events had everything covered. From the decorations to vendor coordination, they truly handled it all...and made our whole wedding day a breeze!!
Weddings are amazingly wonderful but also stressful... Enter Laura and the Simply Events team... Stress and chaos averted. This was my third wedding but my first time hiring Laura and Simply Events. With all the moving parts that need to be coordinated... All I had to do was give the vendors contact info to Laura and viola... Magically ( or so it seemed) everything feel into place with appropriate timelines, guest details, vendor details( when to send final payment, coordination, arrival times etc..) I learned how to spend my money wisely through Laura's guidance. I actually saved funds bc of Laura's expertise . Wedding weekend arrived and the bridal party and family were able to enjoy every moment and know the day was handle by a professional. The fee is very reasonable and we were lucky to have Simply Events coordinate our daughters wedding weekend in November. They were able to give us the priceless commodity of TIME! Thank you again Laura and crew!
Laura truly earned and deserves a 5 star rating. We didn't decide to go with a coordinator until about 2 months out from our date, and thank God that we did because I know it wouldn't have run as smoothly without her. If you're going to spend your money on anything, hire a coordinator first and please hire Laura and her team! I had zero stress the day of. Every time I thought of something and would ask her about it, it would already be taken care of. I don't think I can thank her enough. Top notch professionalism and practically miracle-working!
We worked with Catie who has since sold the business but I couldn't not leave a review about how wonderful she was, along with Simply Events team members we interacted with. Catie was so organized, knowledgable, and patient. She had wonderful vendor suggestions, advice, and she was so responsive. We felt totally at ease on our wedding day knowing Catie and the Simply Events team were there. She is such a wonderful person and I will miss our daily emails!
Laura did an AMAZING job as our day-of co-ordinator. Having a day-of coordinator is definitely worth the value, and I would recommend Laura to everyone. Not only did she help make sure the vendors were in the right place at the right time, but she saved the day with a sewing job when my maid of honors shoe strap broke. Most importantly, she made it so easy for us all to relax on the day, especially my mom who would have otherwise been the one running around. Would give six stars if I could!
Laura and Simply Events did a wonderful job, customizing a package that met our needs and delivering above and beyond expectations. We were looking for a company that could work with our vendors, create a 2-day schedule for rehearsal and wedding day, and to be there to make sure everything came together as planned. Mission accomplished! We recommend Simply Events to all couples looking for a professional, organized event planner to ensure their wedding day is as perfect as ours was. Thanks Laura and Simply Events!!
We hired Catie and her team at Simply Events to help us in the initial planning, vendor coordination and day of logistics. Laura was our primary contact throughout the process. Our wedding weekend was incredible, starting from the invitations to the flowers, and everything was orchestrated perfectly by Laura. From the beginning Laura was always available to answer questions about the wedding planning process and provided guidance throughout. Laura attended vendor meetings with us, took detailed notes, and reminded us if we needed to follow up or provide additional information. She was always available, any day and at any time, and was always pleasant to work with even when I (the bride) got frustrated with things outside of my control. When our stationary vendor fell through, Laura quickly pulled together beautiful programs, menus, timelines and other stationary pieces that saved the day. During the day of the wedding, Laura and her team took care of everything so diligently. Any small problem that came up was handled before I even knew about it. She did a FANTASTIC job. She and her team were always professional and poised. I know my family and I are very grateful to have found Simply Events - and Laura. Hiring them was the best decision we made.
My husband and I recently worked with Laura for Day-Of services for our May 2015 wedding in Dayton, OH, and with Catie for vendor tips and suggestions earlier in the planning process. We were planning from a distance, so it was fantastic that the girls at Simply Events were always quick to reply and thorough with communications over phone, e-mail, text messages, etc. The last month or so of communications with the wedding vendors were all through Laura, which made things much easier on our end. On the day of the wedding, Laura and her team made sure everyone knew where they had to be, that everything looked fantastic, and that we kept to a rough schedule. My friends kept commenting on how I was the least stressed bride they had seen, which was definitely in part due to knowing I could trust Laura to keep everything running smoothly! We are very glad we went with a Day Coordinator and that we chose Simply Events. We would absolutely highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, energetic, and organized crew for their special day.
It is always a joy to work with Catie and her team at Simply Events! I am a provider of specialty and custom rental pieces, and work with many wedding/event planners and other vendors who are part of the planning process. Whenever I partner with Catie on a wedding or event, she always makes sure things are handled seamlessly. She is extremely organized, super-friendly, detail-oriented, and is 110% dedicated to her clients. Catie also has the ability to remain completely cool and collected under any circumstance, and always has a smile on her face. Catie's wealth of experience in events, combined with her professionalism and pleasant personality make her an A+ planner! I would highly recommend working with Catie - she is immensely talented.
I had a vision and Catie and her team brought it life. Never once did I stress about anything. Not only did Catie recommend vendors (so I didn't have to do a ton of research and waste time), she came to all meetings with the vendors and knew what questions to ask - I would have been lost without her!
My daughter's wedding was a fairly small event, but there were still so many details to attend to. With all parents of the couple living out of town and an unexpected work cross-country transfer for the bride and groom thrown in on top of wedding planing, the need for a professional wedding coordinator became obvious. Simply Events came to our rescue taking care of every last detail. We cannot thank Laura (Our Coordinator) and Catie enough for all they did to make my daughter and her husband's special day all they hoped it would be. We contracted for "Day Of" services, but the father of the bride (my husband) ended up in the emergency room just days before the wedding. One call to the coordinator was all it took for them to step in and add services the family had planned on handling. They picked up on all that needed to be done and went above and beyond all our expectations to make sure all preparations were completed and the wedding and reception went off without a single hitch. We don't know what we would have done if not for Simply Events and cannot recommend them highly enough!!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Simply Events to ANY Bride! I did the "day of" package which included 6 weeks out from my wedding. Laura Neeb was my wedding coordinator and she was FANTASTIC! She brought all the details of my wedding together and it would not have been near as perfect without her. For example...she took care of handing out the tips to the vendors and making sure the vendors got meals and all the behind the scenes stuff that the bride and her family shouldn't have to deal with the day of the wedding. Simply Events decorated the church and the entire reception hall just as asked. Her notes were so organized and detailed!
The ONLY complaint I have is that I feel there may have been too many girls/coordinators at the reception itself that they may have been talking and missed a few MINOR details. For example i have a ton of matches and candy sticks left over because they were not refilled throughout the night. But other than this small detail they made the night run so smooth!
Thank you Simply Events!!!!
I cannot say enough great things about Simply Events! Make room in your budget for Catie and her team and you will thank yourself in the end! I used the Simply Half-Way package and it was worth every penny! Planning a wedding is stressful and takes a lot of time. Why not make it easier on yourself and hire a pro! Catie knows everything there is to know about weddings and how to make your vision become a reality.
In terms of dealing with all the vendors, I honestly don't think I could have done it without Catie and her team. One of the great things about Simply Events services is that they deal with all of the vendors for you! Once you start dealing with vendors for your wedding you will understand how amazing this service is. The week of the wedding I didn't hear from one vendor because Catie took over as the contact. This allowed me to focus on my family and the excitement of the wedding week!
The final thing that I think makes Simply Events worth every penny is the fact that Catie and her team set up everything. I've been to weddings where I had to help the bride and groom set up their ceremony and reception sites the day of the wedding, and let me tell you that is the last thing a bride and groom should be doing on their wedding day. Having the Simply Events team do this for me made it possible for me to relax the morning of my wedding and spend time with my family and bridesmaids.
Seriously, make room in your budget for Simply Events. I would sacrifice extra flowers and decorations for Catie and the Simply Events team. In the end you won't remember all the details but you will remember how you felt. Let Simply Events take the pressure off so you can enjoy your day!
I had the pleasure of working with Catie and her team on a wedding this past June and have nothing but amazing things to say about them. I cannot tell you how organized she was and how impressed I was at her attention to detail. She really went way above and beyond making sure everything was perfect for the bride and groom. Many wedding planners are left scrambling last minute to finish, Catie was not one of these planners...she was on it bright and early that morning. She is also so friendly and down to earth, making working with her a total breeze. I really look forward to working with them again in the future.
Catie was our "day of" wedding coordinator. However, she went above and beyond just the "day of" duties. She met with us a few times a long the way and was very helpful and had a lot of great advice. Catie made sure that everything was taken care of. My family and I were all able to relax and enjoy the wedding ceremony and reception. Catie even surprised us at our reception and made our sweetheart table extra special. She is really passionate about what she does and it shows in her outstanding work. I would highly recommend Catie and Simply Events for any party, wedding or special event. She was amazing, and we were very blessed to have her!
Catie at Simply Events did an amazing job. She was there every step of the way and made planning virtually stress free on my end. I had complete confidence in her abilities and everything ran smoothly at rehearsal and at the ceremony/reception. Worth every penny :)
Okay, where do I start...
4 months short of my wedding I was in a PANIC! As my life continued to get busier and busier, the wedding got closer with no progress being made. That's when my boss gave me the best recommendation... SIMPLY EVENTS!
Let's fast forward to the week of my wedding... I (the bride) was calm as a cucumber with nothing running through my veins but pure excitement! After all the "week of" horror stories I heard I did not know this feeling was possible. Catie is who I have to thank.
Catie's service cannot wear a pricetag.
Throughout the months I worked with Catie she would communicate with me often. She reminded me of all my important meetings and checked up with me to make sure I was getting everything done on my end... all while keeping all my vendors in line.
Catie took the Bridezilla role so I wouldn't have to! When the photographer and photo booth made some pretty big errors..she was the one to fix it. When the florist wanted to use a flower that I didn't like, Catie called and told her not to use it!
She is someone you can trust! The day of, I gave Catie the keys to our hotel room. I didn't think she would need them much, but as the evening continued there were many things I unexpectedly needed... one being a change of shoes. During dinner she went up to my room and through my suitcase to grab another pair of higher heels that enabled me to have a successful first dance without tearing my dress.
Honestly, there's nothing I could really say that would come close to describing just how amazing Catie is. She was BY FAR the best investment we made on our wedding. My dad even gave her a 10/10 in his personal rankings... until Catie he has NEVER rated someone higher than a 7/10.
I will be recommending Simply Events LLC to every person I know. Make room in your budget for Catie. She will provide you with the most priceless feeling a bride and groom can get... the ability to enjoy every second of the most amazing day of your life without any hesitations, worries, or cares.
Catie was the "month of" coordinator for our wedding in June of 2011. She saw through all of the details my mother and I delegated to her flawlessly. She was always easy to get in touch via phone or e-mail when issues or changes arose. She also added lots of personal touches to the day, like surprising me with a cute umbrella in my wedding color the day of the event because there was a possible forecast of rain.
I highly recommend Catie Harrie and Simply Events for all your event coordination needs!
Catie was amazing as a Day of Coordinator. My mom and I wanted to not have to worry about any of the details on the day of the wedding and Catie made sure that happened. She followed up with all the vendors the week of the wedding to make sure everyone was prepared and there were no last minute issues. She developed the timeline for all vendors and wedding party members to follow. She went with us for the final walk through of the reception location and ensured all the details were attended to. The day of the wedding I didn't worry about anything. If there were any problems I didn't know about them. I had read that a planner is the best money to be spent on a wedding and I agree 100%. My mom and I did the long term planning and Catie made sure our vision came through! Thanks so much Ca
