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!

e 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.

ol 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!

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!!!

orth 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!!

ions 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.

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!

er 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.

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!

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!

and she allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day! Thank you Thank you!

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.

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!

ike 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!

st 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!! 

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!

the timeline, ran final meetings, and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth day. Would highly recommend!

cting 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!

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!

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.

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!

e! 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!

d 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.

dule) 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!

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!

ight 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!

he 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.

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.

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!!

a 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!

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.

lped 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!

med. 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.

ng! 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!

ng, 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.

dding 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!

sy to talk to. Her assistant for my wedding was SO sweet as well. I am very happy I chose Simply Events.

ng. 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!

ut 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!

ss 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!

ra 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!

g 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!

xas 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!

g. 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
