Simply Lovely Events

Words will never be able to express how thankful we are to Tannya & the Simply Lovely Events team for making our wedding (and the entire planning process) seamless, stunning, and unforgettable! We had a very specific vision and theme in mind; but with Tannya’s design savvy and meticulous attention to detail, we watched our dreams literally come to life. Tannya is extremely well connected in the area - she knows everyone, and everyone knows and LOVES working with her; so with her help we were able to select truly a dream team of vendors who went above and beyond for us and created magic. Without Tannya & SLE - our wedding would not have been the same, and we will truly never forget her! 💕💐

Tannya and Jenny were wonderful to work with and very professional. My emails were always answered promptly and their help in coordinating our vendors was really helpful so things didn’t fall in between the cracks. They were great dealing with me and my son and his bride, which could have been confusing but they kept us on tract the actual wedding was wonderful thanks to them having and keeping to a timeline.

Simply Lovely Events was a required vendor as part of our wedding venue. We opted for the Essentials package which focused on support for the 3 months leading up to the wedding and day of coordination. While the cost was on the higher side for planning/coordination services, they provided thorough coverage according to the plans and made it as low stress a process as possible. I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay for our special day and she did an amazing job making it the day the best of our lives. Throughout the process she was a great communicator with reminders, thorough follow-ups, and fast response times. She considered our styles and preferences from our meetings and with questionnaires that helped create a layout that we loved. On top of that she was always helping us adjust as things inevitably changed. The down-to-the-minute timeline and planning made the day go seamlessly with us often being slightly ahead of schedule despite the many activities we squeezed in. On the wedding day I truly did not worry about a thing as Lindsay had it covered, and she regularly checked in on us for any needs. Overall, it was a great experience.

While Simply Lovely was a required vendor by our wedding venue, I would still choose them a million times over. We worked with Lindsay who made the planning process a breeze. They are constantly checking in and giving updates several months before the wedding. They create a very detailed timeline (that you don’t have to memorize.) They handle every aspect of the day of your event from coordinating vendors, to setting up decor/items. I felt so at ease the day of our wedding because of their help and presence. HIGHLY recommend!

Lindsay and Simply Lovely Events were phenomenal to work with! They helped with coordinating our May 2023 wedding at Nella Terra Cellars. We'd recommend Simply Lovely to anyone -- they were easy to work with during the planning stages, and then kept our wedding completely on track during the event itself. Thanks again Lindsay and team!

We highly recommend using Simply Lovely Events for your special day. My husband and I got married at Nella Terra in the Spring 2023, and we worked with both Tannya (primary POC), Lindsay & the team. In the time that we worked together, the Simply Lovely team did such a great job of being professional but approachable as well as knowledgable with best practices yet open-minded to wedding personalization. From their vendor recommendations to how they run meetings, they clearly demonstrated their subject-matter expertise in the wedding space. We were in such great hands with Simply Lovely, and I encourage anyone to strongly consider working with this best-in-class team! Thank you for bringing our vision to life.

The Simply Lovely Events team is "simply" the best team around. Tannya, Lindsay, and team are a well-oiled machine for planning any wedding at Nella Terra Cellars. From the get-go, Tannya was organized and proactive reaching out to us in the months leading up to the wedding, and answered all of our questions, no matter how big or small. She was also great at listening and giving guidance, validating our wedding decisions while also sharing best practices/suggestions. It was reassuring to know we had Tannya on our team, and she would go to bat for us to make the day a success. On the day of the wedding, Lindsay was our lead coordinator, and ran the show flawlessly with (another) Lindsay and April. She kept my husband and I happy, fed (very important), and fully present in our special day. We had other guests / bridal party members debrief us afterwards that they also loved interacting with the Simply Lovely team. We hope we have a chance in the future to be guests of a Simply Lovely wedding, so we can have the experience from the other side! :)

Simply Lovely Events is the best wedding planner team in the bay area !!! my husband and I we had the opportunity to work with Tannya and Lindsay and they were amazing since day one , very on top of everything , if you are getting married and you are looking for a wedding planer Simply Lovely Events has to be your own option because they are professionals, Tannya and Lindsay has a good communication they would always answer my emails on the same day so for so many reason my husband and I we are so so grateful that Simply Lovely Events was our wedding planner team !! (: and also they help so much to coordinate your special day !! you guys are an amazing team , my husband and I were so in peace the day of our wedding because we knew that we were in good hands , everything went so smooth and very organized and of course beautiful 100/10 (: Thank you so much Tannya and Lindsay for made our special day very organized , on time, and very beautiful!

Tannya and her team did a wonderful job taking care of us during the wedding planning process as well as on the day of. The tools she provided allowed us to put together a vision for our big day that was easy to share with vendors and track our progress along the way. Tannya also ensured that there was time for me (the bride) to eat on my big day and that our more specific wishes were granted as well. Thank you again to Tannya and her team for ensuring that our big day was a dream!

This is an overdue review, but worth noting nonetheless. Lindsay was the best wedding coordinator I could've possibly imagined. Months leading up to our event, she was ready for every virtual meeting and made sure to cover all the points we needed to address within the allotted time. She always sent us notes/action items immediately after our sessions. She made the process so easy and seamless. I've repeatedly recommended Simply Lovely Events and Lindsay to all my friends. The first time I met her in person was during our wedding day. She was just as charming and lovable in person as on Zoom. She kept us on track the whole day but never rushed my husband and me. Things naturally went wrong throughout the day, but our guests would've never known. Our friends and family have often told us that it was the best wedding they've been to. A considerable part of that was all thanks to Lindsay and her team. Stop looking and hire them already! :)

We truly had the best experience working with Lindsay and the Simply Lovely team! My husband and I got married at Nella Terra in August 2022 and we are so grateful to this wonderful team for helping to bring our dream wedding to life. From the start, Lindsay was very helpful in answering our many questions and working out the details of our day. She was organized, prompt with communication, and gave great advice when we were looking for a professional opinion. In the few months leading up to our wedding day, we were thoroughly impressed with the detailed wedding day timeline Lindsay created and the way she communicated necessary information to the rest of the vendors so that everyone was dialed in. When the wedding day came, we did not have to worry about a thing. My husband and I truly got to be present and enjoy every moment throughout our day. I kept telling myself not everything will go as planned, but it truly did! Many of our guests commented on the flow of our day and how smoothly everything went - we owe it all to Lindsay and Olivia’s hard work and expertise! We cannot recommend this dream team enough!

I can 100% say that the best thing we did for our wedding was hiring Simply Lovely Events!! We got married in July 2022 at Nella Terra Cellars, and Tannya and her team made the planning process and day-of so incredible for us. We live across the country, so we knew communicating with vendors would be difficult with the time difference, and because both of us were very busy with our careers, the process of planning a wedding seemed extremely overwhelming. The Simply Lovely team listened to our wants and needs for our wedding day, helped us stay on our planning schedule, and provided tons of options and ideas to create our dream wedding. We wanted a look to our wedding that we hadn't really seen, and Tannya and her team made it happen for us. During the week of and wedding day, the entire team kept everything running smoothly from start to finish and made sure we weren't stressing and didn't have to focus on timing and running the show. It also took a big weight off of our families and friends in the bridal party, since they knew they were there to enjoy the wedding and that the team had everything under control. It was such a magical day and our guests went out of their way to tell us it was a beautiful and amazing wedding, and I can truly say that it would not have been what it was without the assistance of Simply Lovely Events. We highly recommend working with the entire team.

Simply Lovely Events is hands down absolutely incredible to work with! I won't lie, I am a very organized person and we were a little reluctant about having to hire a wedding planner for our wedding at Nella Terra, but I am so glad we did! I was so wrong, there are so many details, deadlines to meet, questions to answer to keep you on track that this wedding could not have been pulled off without Simply Lovely's help, especially without Lindsay! She continued to keep me on track and ask me questions I had not even thought of about the timeline or the way we wanted the day of the wedding to go. I can't rave about Tannya and Lindsay enough. They helped keep me on track, calm and confident that we would have an incredible wedding and we had the most magical evening. The planning tools they offer are amazing and simple to navigate and for an organizational nerd like me, I enjoyed using them! Do not hesitate when it comes to hiring Simply Lovely Events. They'll make sure your special day will be one to remember forever!

We really enjoyed working with the Simply Lovely Events team for our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars. Their industry expertise and attention to detail was extremely helpful, as was their calm presence in all of our meetings and on the day of. We were both very busy with work leading up to the wedding, and Olivia helped us stay on track by making planning checklists so we didn’t forget anything. Their help creating the timeline made the day run smoothly, and everything was exactly how we’d imagined when we showed up for the cocktail hour and reception. Thank you for all your help, Olivia and Tannya!

Tannya and her entire team were so amazing to work with! They made the final months of planning a BREEZE! The planning tools they offer are straight forward and keep everything so organized. The day of the wedding, I instantly felt calm when I saw the team. They were so helpful with every single little thing and I just loved working with them!

Lindsay was extremely helpful during the wedding planning process. She was always willing to work with my schedule when we needed to meet and I'm beyond thankful for her flexibility! She always responded super quickly to emails I sent! Both Lindsay and Olivia made sure that everything was perfect on our special day. It was a pleasure working with both Lindsay and Olivia! 🤍 Thank you again!!

This review is for Lindsay--Like all the prior reviews have mentioned, Lindsay is AMAZING. She is so quick to respond (she even answered our emails on her birthday!) to our questions and always has a positive attitude. Wedding planning is stressful but her energy and her love for her job made the entire process so much better. She is super organized, detail oriented, and made all our requests/changes quickly. Thank you Lindsay!

Lindsay was incredible helping us throughout our wedding planning process! She made everything so easy for us - we really didn't feel like we were truly planning a wedding. She thought of all the little details and made sure we were super organized going into our big day. The actual wedding day was so relaxing - we were able to enjoy the entire night, everything went as planning, and the schedule was perfect. Lindsay and Olivia did an incredible job at making our wedding day the best! Our guests are still talking about how well organized the event was!

Our wedding would not have been possible without Lindsay and Olivia who are so easy to work with and always had a smile. Our parents loved them too. They work with our ideas and try to make accommodations to the last minute. They made sure that we are on schedule with the whole planning process. They brought wonderful ideas that worked around us. We highly recommend their team!!!

Lindsay and her team are amazing! If you don't think you'll need a wedding planner- think again. This wedding planning team truly brought our dream wedding to life at Nella Terra- while alleviating so much stress off our plate. We primarily worked with Lindsay, and she created a thoughtful timeline for us. Wedding planning from beginning to end was so EASY because of Lindsay. Lindsay, and the rest of the Simply Lovely team were responsive, resourceful and attentive to all the details that were important to us. The simply lovely team is very professional, organized, and FABULOUS. We received so many compliments from our guests about how organized everything was. We are so happy that we booked Simply Lovely. Thank you again to Lindsay, Olivia and the rest of the team that helped make our day literally PERFECT.

Simply Lovely helped produce an incredible wedding that we will never forget. Everything the day of ran perfectly without issue, and it truly felt like the night was ours. Lindsay was so present and open throughout the planning process, helping us create a timeline that felt authentic to us and the tone we wanted to set throughout the night. Simply Lovely struck the balance perfectly between having an exceptionally organized event and maintaining the natural joy and excitement of the wedding night itself. Our guests were so complimentary of how the night ran and the way it all knit together, and we give so much credit for that to Simply Lovely! Thank you to Lindsay and the entire Simply Lovely team for helping us have a magical, memorable night!

Lindsay is very professional and quick to answer questions. She made the wedding process smooth and simple. I can't thank her enough for all of her help and guidance. I highly recommend Simply Lovely Events as all staff members are kind, professional, and knowledgeable.

Lindsay was amazing, I don't know how this wedding would have happened without her!! She was extremely friendly & organized and kept our wedding day on schedule. Whenever I had a question or needed anything I knew I could rely on her. I never thought we would need a coordinator, but I highly recommend Simply Lovely Events to help destress and plan your perfect wedding day!

Lindsay and her team gave us a wonderful experience even through several reschedules of our wedding due to Covid. She was very organized, patient, and flexible with any last minute changes. Lindsay and her team know what they're doing and they even stayed much after our wedding was over to help us find a missing phone. They're the best!

Lindsay and team were so helpful on our special day and throughout the entire planning process. We had several obstacles come up that could have easily derailed our day, but the team adjusted, acted fast, kept everyone calm and made sure it still was the best day ever! They were professional, adaptable and so easy to work with. We highly recommend for your day.

Lindsay and Olivia made our wedding the absolute best day ever, which went off without a hitch! From pre-planning before the big day (down to every imaginable detail) to the day of our wedding, Lindsay and team were a blast to work with. My husband and I could not be happier with our experience with this team - highly recommend them!

Words cannot express our gratitude for Tannya and her team. We got connected to Tannya through our original venue (Nella Terra), then covid hit and we couldn’t move forward with this venue. For a short amount of time (6 months to be exact!), Tannya worked with me and my now husband to find a new venue. If you are a Bride looking for a wedding planner, Tannya is the right person to help plan and design your wedding. As a bride planning her wedding during covid, there are a lot of uncertainties and changes. It gave me relief that she responds to my inquiries/questions as soon as she can. My inside joke with her is “When do you sleep?”, this woman even replies after midnight! I love that when you use her service, the Aisle Planner website comes free of use. It made planning easier, especially when we would have phone meetings, it’s a great tool to visualize the layout of the venue, create a color palette theme, place in guest information, and many more. The Simply Lovely Team is absolutely AMAZING! Our wedding day went on smoothly and came out beautiful because of them.

The whole team at Simply Lovely are truly the best! Lindsay and Mackenzie took such great care of us and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. Lindsay was so patient with all my questions and was wonderful in setting everything up better than I could have imagined. We had so many guests say it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that was a huge compliment to the Simply Lovely Team. If I ever have another event that I would need their services, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Simply Lovely Events team is the absolute best at what they do! We started working together about 3 months before my wedding and they were extremely helpful by outlining the things we needed to accomplish prior to the wedding day. Tannya and her team relieved a lot of stress and kept me very organized. On the day of my wedding and the days leading up to the wedding, I worked very closely with Olivia and I all I can say is WOW!! Olivia was so professional, kind and organized. She made me feel so cared for and took away all of my stress, especially the day of my wedding. Without her, that day would not have gone as seamless as it did. Olivia, you are truly a rockstar!!

Our venue required us to book Simply Lovely Events for coordination I believe we booked the Essentials package which starts communication 3 months leading up to your event. We primarily worked with Lindsay and she was amazing!!! My husband and I agree that her personality is perfect for wedding planning when things where chaotic or stressful the warmth and tone in her voice instantly calmed you down and anything you needed she would figure it out (like us forgetting the flower girl crowns in a fridge in the bridal suite and her getting it for u), making sure we were fed appetizers since we couldn't make it to cocktail hour, and helping us with last minute logistics leading up to the wedding). It's hard to trust the little details with just anyone but Lindsay was beyond organized and fun to work with! They use a tool called Aisle Planner and as a person who is obsessed with note taking and creating Google sheets this tool was a dream! It had our ceremony, cocktail, reception layouts. It was so easy to come up with table assignments or plan out where decor would be. It also was an organization tool allowing us to upload our vendors contracts, payment due dates, and budgets. At the end of the night they made sure that we had all of our items back from the wedding packed in the car we got everything back and they packed it up nicely in the boxes we provided! Even threw in dessert so we had late night snacks.

Have you ever heard of a wedding day going completely according to schedule?! Well, we experienced that first hand working with Lindsay and Simply Lovely Events!! We got married at Nella Terra Cellars and although Simply Lovely Events was a required vendor, we could not have been more grateful to work with Lindsay. From the first call, she was excited, kind, and flexible in everything we had to do. Any time I had a question, Lindsay was always quick to respond. She truly made the wedding planning process a breeze and fun! I also found their Aisle Planner Tool extremely helpful to track budget, planning action items, guest lists, and seating arrangements. On the rehearsal day, we met with Lindsay's teammate Olivia who made sure we had all of our inventory and helped the entire bridal party understand their roles and responsibilities for the ceremony. We are so grateful to Lindsay and Olivia for helping make our wedding the most perfect day. We would highly recommend working with Lindsay and Simply Lovely Events to anyone planning a wedding!

I'm so grateful I had Simply Lovely Events at our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process to the big day, Lindsay and her team created an incredible experience. They did an excellent job keeping us on track while also providing emotional support for our worries and anxieties. Trust on the big day, you're going to get the celebrity treatment. Everything ran on time, and Simply Lovely Events was nothing but kind and gentle to our family and friends. Our best man had a spot on his tux from a shaving accident, and the team saved the day! My wedding day was a dream, and I credit Simply Lovely Events for helping us achieve that.

We worked with Lindsay to plan our wedding and she was incredible. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator or nicer person to work with in general. I asked her a million questions and she was always quick to respond and never made me feel as if I was asking too much or being a bother. She’s extremely friendly and efficient and gives great advice. She also didn’t mind to create different reception plans so I could see different layouts before selecting the one I wanted. She was very flexible with us and our crazy schedules when planning meetings. Very personable. Lindsay definitely made us feel special on our wedding day and made sure we were stress free and taken care of when it came to making sure we got some appetizers and a cocktail as well as getting my sandals for me when I needed them. Lindsay is An absolute sweetheart and I couldn’t have done it without her!

Tannya and team are SO fun to work with — they helped plan and coordinate our wedding ceremony and reception at Nella Terra. We had to postpone twice due to COVID, and they were able to provide us with invaluable advice and resources to help with guest and vendor communication. We met with them a few times in the months leading up to our wedding to align on relevant details and logistics, and they were able to handle everything from decorating to guest management on the day of — which meant we were free to enjoy our special day!! We are sooo so grateful for their help, as their attention to detail and hard work enabled us to spend more time with our loved ones and less time worrying! Wedding planning can be all kinds of stressful, and working with Simply Lovely Events made the whole process much easier for us just knowing we could turn to them with any questions or concerns. Thanks a bunch, Tannya, Lindsay and team!!

Tannya and the Simply Lovely team were absolutely AMAZING! We could not have had as smooth of a wedding day without them. Simply Lovely was a required vendor for our wedding day, but we are so grateful and lucky to have had worked with this amazing team! They truly made our day so much better and helped guide us through the planning process and took away an enormous amount of stress. Everyone was extremely organized and professional. I will be recommending SLE to everyone that I know who will be getting married!

We booked our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars, and Simply Lovely Events was a required vendor. Although we initially did not think it was necessary to have a wedding coordinator, my husband and I are so glad we did. Lindsay Brys was our main event coordinator, and we had such a good feeling about her from the very first meeting. Our original June 2020 wedding date ended up being postponed due to Covid-19. It wasn’t until about 2 months before our June 2021 wedding date that we found out our event was going to happen. Lindsay was soon in touch with us again. She worked with us on our wedding day timeline, accounting for every detail, and shared the final version with our vendors. The aisle planner software program made it easier to manage our guest list and plan the seating arrangements for our reception. Aisle Planner also allowed us to enter our wedding decor inventory list. We met with Olivia, our other coordinator, the day before our wedding to go over every single item on our inventory list. It was beyond helpful that we could leave all of our decor onsite, and Lindsay and Olivia ensured everything was set up just as we had envisioned. Olivia ran our rehearsal so smoothly and she is so pleasant to work with. The timeline turned out to be extremely helpful, just as Lindsay had told us. Our coordinators really kept us, our wedding party, family and guests, and our vendors all on track. Lindsay and Olivia made an amazing team, and took such great care of us on our our wedding. We would highly recommend Simply Lovely Events to any future bride and groom!

I cannot say enough nice things about Lindsay and Simply Lovely Events. They were absolutely fantastic to work with! Our day went so smoothly and that was all due to Lindsay. She always responded quickly and our meetings were so efficient and helpful. So, so, so thankful for Lindsay, she really did help make our wedding everything we were looking for.

Lindsay from Simply Lovely Events deserves all the stars in the world. We booked our venue (Nella Terra) and were required by the venue to hire Simply Lovely as a coordinator. To be completely honest, I was not too thrilled by this requirement when I booked. However, after going through the experience with Lindsay, I can confidently say it was well worth every penny we spent. There is not one single complaint I have with her or this company. We had to reschedule our wedding, which happened to be before our first meeting with Lindsay. She reached out again to us a few months prior to the rescheduled wedding. After that initial meeting, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders that the vision I had for the wedding was going to come true. Lindsay is organized, encouraging, knowledgeable and most of all caring for her clients. From this point on, there was another 2-3 meetings I believe even though the package was for day of coordination! During that entire period, Lindsay was readily available for all questions and concerns and answered back in a timely manner. She knows exactly what she is doing and if she doesn’t have the answer, she finds it and gets back to you as soon as possible. She assists with the coordination of the vendors, layouts for the ceremony, reception and cocktail hour, timeline sheet, your inventory and much more. On the rehearsal and day of the wedding, she and her team assisted with the set up of all items and made the day run as smooth as can be! She is such a kindhearted soul and you can tell she really cares to make your event perfect. Her teammate the day of was amazing as well. We cannot thank Lindsay enough and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone having a wedding!

Tannya and her team made our wedding day so special. She held our hands as we navigated the Covid19 pandemic, and rescheduling our event. She was our calm in the mist of so much chaos. I can not thank her enough for making our day magical!

Lindsay hands down is the absolute best!! I am so happy that Simply lovely was a preferred vendor with Nella Terra, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. From the moment we met Lindsay via Zoom we knew she was going to be amazing! She went above and beyond with every detail of our wedding. She is so personable, easy going, detailed oriented, and organized. Not to mention, she is a perfectionist so she will do everything to make your day absolutely PERFECT. My husband and I are sad that our wedding activities are over since we won’t get to work with Lindsay anymore. However, she will always hold a very special place in our hearts! Future couples will be so lucky and fortunate to get a chance to work with Lindsay. Wishing future couples happy planning!!

We booked Simply Lovely Events as they were a required vendor for our venue, Nella Terra Cellars. I am so happy they were required because Lindsay and team were THE BEST! My mom and I are super planners, so during the initial planning phase, we were skeptical that we would need a coordinator to help us. As planning got more detailed, we could see that having Lindsay there to help us was invaluable and we could not have done it without her. She was so organized with every detail, kept me informed and prepared with every step of the planning process, and made sure our wedding day flowed so easily. I had a minor crisis about our reception timeline a week before our wedding and felt so bad about asking her to change it, especially since she had already sent it out to all the vendors, but she didn't even blink an eye and made the changes immediately! It's clear that she loves what she does and we are so grateful that she was part of our day! Thank you again, Lindsay!

Tannya and her team made our wedding planning/day so wonderful. Despite the chaos of rescheduling our wedding due to covid, our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Tannya was never too busy to listen to me vent, or hear out all of my concerns and worries regarding the changing covid guidelines. On the actual day of the wedding, Lindsay and Olivia were AMAZING. They ensured everything ran smoothly, and I am just so grateful they were both there. Lindsay was truly an angel and I don't know what I would have done without her that day! I can't say enough good things about this entire team! 100% hire them for your wedding!!!!

Personal Note: Lindsay Brys and the Simply Lovely Events team - we love you and are beyond grateful for your patience, support, and guidance throughout one of the toughest years our communities have gone through. Our Experience: My wife and I got married at Nella Terra Cellars and could not be happier our experience with our wedding planner Lindsay Brys. Like many couples, we had to manage the logistical nightmares of canceling, rescheduling, and moving dates throughout 2020 before finally landing on May 2021. Lindsay: full time wedding planner (part time counselor) is an angel in disguise. We can say with absolute confidence: our wedding would not have run through as smoothly or as beautifully as it did without Lindsay and the SLE team. From napkin folds to the processional orders, we cannot emphasize enough what a luxury it is to have someone who is able to walk us through the hundreds of decisions around planning a wedding. Beyond her remarkable attention to detail is Lindsay's humanity. Lindsay was a constant source of calm and positivity. You certainly feel that she had a vested, borderline tenacious interest in seeing our special day through. Her energy was felt. Her positivity appreciated. Needless to say, if you are considering a wedding planner (and even if you're not), we cannot express enough how much we recommend Simply Lovely Events. Practical Note: We loved the app you used to help plan our wedding. It was beyond helpful to have all of our checklists, contracts, schedules, seating charts, etc. all in one place to manage. I/we had a zoom walkthrough with our bridal party a few days before the wedding and everyone's jaws were dropped around how organized 'we' were but we know who the true mastermind was. It really is those who orchestrate behind the scenes that are the real heroes.

We had the pleasure of working with Lindsay for our special day! She was kind, sweet and accommodating. She was everything we needed during this crazy time. Like many other couples, the wedding we had initially planned for could not happen due to COVID. We opted for a very, very small intimate ceremony at our original venue, Nella Terra. Our small wedding still came with lots of stress, and Lindsay really helped along the way. She took the reigns the day of our wedding and didn't let us worry about a thing. I would highly recommend Simply Lovely Events!

Simply Lovely Events made our wedding day absolutely perfect and better than we even imagined it could be! Unfortunately, my husband and I were forced to reschedule our big wedding day like many other couples due to Covid 19. Although we both decided our big celebration could wait, we knew our actual marriage could not so we moved forward with a small intimate ceremony on our originally scheduled date in June of 2020. I was slightly overwhelmed with the thought of planning a second wedding no matter what the size was but Tannya and her team made it a simple and stress-free process. She recommended and helped me book a great vendor team on short notice that exceeded all of my expectations and made the day so beautiful for us and all of our guests. Our families are still raving about the intimate day and how perfect it truly was. I can’t wait to work with Tannya and her team again for our rescheduled big wedding celebration! If you are looking for a team to help you plan your wedding big or small, I HIGHLY recommend Simply Lovely Events!!

Tannya and team are absolutely fantastic! We've had to postpone our wedding twice because of COVID, and we are so grateful to have had the help and insights of Simply Lovely Events as we did so. By the time we decided to postpone, we had already worked with Tannya to draft a timeline and our layouts - it was an efficient and stress-free process, and we're excited to pick it back up again later. The entire team is incredibly professional, organized, friendly, and responsive, and given our wonderful experience with them so far, we know that they'll make our 2021 wedding celebration a joyous and enjoyable one. In short, we highly recommend working with Simply Lovely Events if you're seeking a wedding planner or coordinator - they are thoughtful, trustworthy, and experienced, everything you'd want in an event planner! Thanks Tannya and team - we can't wait for next year!!!

From the moment of our initial phone interview with Tannya to working hours on end with Lindsay, we felt the supported by Simply Lovely Events. Working predominately with Lindsay we learned she was exceptionally organized, prompt to reply to emails or phone calls, and, arguably most important, you can tell she truly loves her job. Lindsay put my husband and me at complete ease throughout the whole process. As a planner myself, she gracefully handled the onslaught of emails, questions and requests I sent to her weekly. She balanced allowing us to express our vision while also providing honest feedback/recommendations when we needed guidance. Lindsay was such a comfort, and she made it feel like we have been friends for years! That comfort she provided continued onto our actual wedding day. Day of, I knew everything was going to fall in place because Lindsay took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to execute our master plan. If I had to go back and redo our wedding, I would not change a thing. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend working with simply lovely events for their wedding planning services!

Lindsay Brys at Simply Lovely events is a dream to work with ! I was feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost with all the wedding details and she put me at ease immediately. From organizing the wedding and reception timeline to ensuring decor was perfectly placed , there wasn't a detail that was left unnoticed or unattended to. She is a wonderful communicator and responded quicky to anything I sent her or any questions that came up along the way. My husband and I truly got to enjoy our wedding day as well as the planning process all thanks to Lindsay !

My husband and I chose Simply Lovely Events (SLE) for our wedding and we were extremely satisfied with our choice. We selected the Custom Lovely Day + Partial Planning and Design package. It included 2 lovely day assistants on the day of the wedding and full design assistance. The type of wedding we envisioned was a rustic glam affair. We had a general vision of what we wanted for our wedding day with many of our vendors pre-selected before we decided to choose SLE. I was open to new ideas, but I already had an ideas embedded in my mind (just to give you an understanding of what type of bride I was). We believe the price for her packages are incomparable! From 4 differently priced wedding consults, including one from a luxury wedding planner (with rates above >$10K), Tannya’s initial consult was the most impressive and blew us away. At the time, she introduced us to a website called Aisle Planner - which was an incredibly useful tool to keep us organized throughout the process. My husband thought it set her apart from the others. They are a preferred vendor by Nella Terra for great reason - her team is extremely knowledgeable of the property, experienced, and work well with Nella Terra staff. Having a planner/day of coordinator that has a great relationship with the venue is highly recommended. We cannot stress this enough! Tannya and her team were our advocates when we had questions/concerns about our wedding, which we thought was extremely valuable. She knew the rules and regulations of our venue like the back of her hand. Her knowledge of the venue played a huge role in the decorations, spacing, and seating charts. Tannya had great recommendations for florists, rental companies, and custom made signage/pieces that fit our budget and style. I also really liked how she didn’t impose any of her ideas on us and incorporated all our ideas. She had great suggestions and didn’t make me feel obligated to choose them if, at times, I wanted to choose another option. By the final month, Tannya had a 3” binder of an accumulation of everything we had planned from the beginning. It was absolutely impressive. On our wedding day, Tannya and her team executed the day beautifully. Walking into our reception was like walking into a fairy tale. We are still in disbelief that it was actually our own wedding - it was truly everything I dreamed of and so much more. During the reception, we recalled a time where we were particularly stressed. By now, Tannya knew us very well and could tell by the looks of our faces that we were worried about something. Our friend had forgotten a guitar at the hotel that we wanted to use for the reception. Because we thought it was too late, we kept the disappointment to ourselves without thinking of telling SLE about it. Tannya immediately could tell something was wrong and approached us right away. We told her that we forgot the guitar we needed for the reception. She sent one of her “runners” to grab the guitar at the hotel (15 minutes away) and shifted the timeline around to allot for them to return. We were able to use our guitar! From the timeline, to the ceremony, and the reception - everything went flawlessly. Overall, I highly recommend Simply Lovely Events to anyone planning a wedding. Tannya and her team will do their absolute best to make sure you will have the best day of your lives!

We worked mainly with Angela and Tannya at Simply Lovely events as part of the contract with signed with Nella Terra Cellars as they have an exclusive partnership with the venue. I thought Simply Lovely Events did a competent job overall. I hope this review is taken constructively because I think they are good people who are trying to run a small business satisfying the needs of many different clients but I feel I need to be honest about the issues I experienced. Cost - the cheapest package I chose was still pretty expensive given that it was actually more for day of coordination services vs. actual support around planning and communication with vendors. I wish there was a cheaper option for just day of coordination. There were also other add on costs that I didn't experience with any of my other vendors - ex: 3% processing fee if you pay with credit card. Even though they state this in the contract, you may not remember with all of the different payments you have to issue. I also was charged an additional $50 since my photographer needed an extra 1/2 hour of time to shoot getting ready shots and they said they needed to be present. Attention to detail - unfortunately my experience was that I felt like there was a lack of attention to details during the planning phase and I felt I had to be pro-active making sure they were correct. They did fulfill their requirements for 3 planning meetings as part of the package but to be honest, most of the real work happens outside of those meetings and are left up to you to figure out and then communicate to them. Because of their partnership with Nella Terra I did feel at times they were trying to fulfill Nella Terra's requirements more than mine -ex: constant reminders for me to have my external vendors attach signed code of conduct form and proof of insurance. I actually wasn't clear that they wouldn't be helping with that when I initially signed the contract and that their communication with vendors would be limited to just sending out the agreed timeline and handling day of coordination details. I think their handling of the day of coordination was really great. I truly appreciated both Angela and MacKenzie for all of their hard work that day and told them so afterwards. There is so much going on that day that I really didn't have bandwidth to think about anything and having them there was absolutely vital. One thing I would suggest future brides to clarify beforehand is who is responsible making sure the florist delivers all of the items to the bridal party on time (bouquets, boutonnières, flower crown etc). We had an issue with our florist not delivering the items as expected but it wasn't noticed until our first look by our photographer and therefore some of the items were missed in our getting ready shots. I think this is an area Simply Lovely could help out with as part of the day of coordination services. I want to be clear there are many other things they did do that day (ex: help light candles, setup the favors at each table, do all the coordination with shuttle and rest of Nella Terra and catering staff, help me unbutton my bustle etc.) and I think they did an awesome job. Even when unexpected things happened -ex: missing boutonnières they kept their calm. I can't tell you how appreciative I was of MacKenzie for running to get my Dad's boutonnière right before we were scheduled to walk down the aisle. It was seriously nerve-wracking but I was so glad they were there to help out.

We got married at Nella Terra in Sunol, CA and Simply Lovely Events was a required vendor for event coordination. I truly understand why they chose Simply Lovely Events, because Tannya is amazing and "simply lovely" (cheesy, but I had to). Tannya is extremely professional, kind, speedy responder, and everything you need in an event coordinator. She goes through every little detail and makes sure all the i's have been dotted and t's crossed. Throughout the whole process, Tanya was always there to respond to my emails (super quickly) and provide any guidance or solutions. If she was out of town, she made sure to let you know and also make sure someone else on her staff responds to emails. I had a lot of last minute changes to the seating chart, and Tannya was extremely patient and quick at making those changes. On the day of our wedding, I had Tannya and Angela there to support me. They graciously helped me bustle my dress (and they were so fast at it, even though they've never done my dress before!), since I wanted to let my bridal party and mom mingle with guests during cocktail hour. They kept a calm demeanor during the whole day, which is what you want in wedding coordinators. I really wanted to have appetizers set aside for me and my husband to enjoy, since we were doing pictures during cocktail hour, and Tannya made sure to get three of each appetizers for us to enjoy. :) I also appreciate Tannya and Angela getting us refills of our alcoholic beverages during the reception, since we did not have time to go to the bars ourselves. I did not think we needed a wedding coordinator, but looking back, it's definitely a necessity (we had 156 guests). I'm so happy to have had Tannya and Angela at our wedding, and I would highly recommend them!

I am so grateful for Tannya and her team! From day one, Tannya was so sweet and patient. She understood what I wanted and what my style was right away. I always felt like she supported me and was on my team. At one point, I started to feel overwhelmed with wedding planning and I will always appreciate what she did for me. She started sending me weekly emails with 3 tasks I had to get done. I felt so much better after that! Tannya gave me some great vendor recommendations and helped facilitate our major meetings (mock up, final walk through, etc.). She was always so thorough in her emails and quick to reply. I felt like I can really depend on her and she made me feel at ease. I appreciate everything Tannya and her team did for us and will recommend her to all of my family and friends!

Tannya and Simply Lovely Events were so helpful to us in the planning process and made doing table assignments and creating a timeline so straightforward. Also there were many times on the phone Tannya calmed my nerves when I was overwhelmed. Highly recommend them.
