Lindsey and her team are truly fantastic! She was able to hop on calls with us when we needed her and thought of every detail. The key to a great wedding planner is someone who is reliable, dependable, and knows all the best vendors! I recommend Simply Perfect Events (specifically Lindsey) 10/10! Book her now!

Lindsey and her team were such a help during our wedding! She was patient, hard-working, and very easy to get along with. She made sure all the details were covered for our Indian wedding and was always professional. 10 days before our wedding when a major vendor pulled out, she dropped everything and made phone calls, re-organized everything, and took away all our stress. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our wedding!

Lindsey was involved in the process from start to finish. Her vendor recommendations were great. Even with our multiple venue changes, she was understanding and patient. On the day of the wedding she was a great help to our daughter with her dressing and other needs. We highly recommend her.

Lindsey was great! I had a COVID-19 wedding and our venue changed 3 times in the 2 months leading up to our wedding but she handled everything very well and helped with all the new location changes. Her vendor recommendations were also all very good. They actual wedding day went very smoothly and I'm so glad I chose her company as my wedding planner!

From the start, Lindsey maintained constant communication with my wife and I as we began planning our Indian wedding. Being the groom, I assumed from the beginning that was I just along for the ride but Lindsey kept me involved in the process and valued my ideas and opinions. During all of our wedding events, ceremony and reception, it was so relieving to have her with us because not only did she take care of any issue that arose, she would constantly check in with us and make sure we had time to eat, drink a beer or just share a laugh. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us create the wonderful memories that we did.

Cannot thank Lindsey and her team enough for all of their help during our wedding weekend. From start to end, the team was awesome at helping out and making sure that everything went smoothly, timely, according to plan, etc. So many little fires were put out behind the scenes. We appreciate all of the team’s efforts from the small, running around requests to helping tend to every need of ours, including those that we didn’t even realize we needed...like making sure we didn’t overheat in the hot July sun and even bringing us food to make sure we were fed at each event!! Highly recommend Simply Perfect Events!

Simply Perfect Events (Lindsey Hocker) by far is the best wedding planner ever! If you are high class or low country, she can do it all. She knows exactly what to do and knows all the right vendors. She made my wedding day a dream come true and she is not only a wedding planner but she became my friend. My entire family loves her!! If you don’t call her to help plan your special day, you will miss out! Thank you Lindsey Hocker, my day couldn’t have been more perfect!!

Lindsey Hocker and her team at Simply Perfect Events are definitely incredible! My Hindu wedding of 375 was no match for them and with 3 events I am so happy to say that everything went smoothly. My experience with her was great -- we met for coffee dates and discussed wedding details throughout 1 year of being engaged. She made sure that our needs were met and we were satisfied! The whole team is very nice and extremely hard working. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them!!

Lindsey and Marcia helped the wedding planning process so easy and stress free. Lindsey helped me create the beautiful winter wedding of my dreams. She has an amazing eye for design.
Marcia took care of every detail the day of. It allowed me and my family to just relax and enjoy the day.
Without a doubt, SPE helped me make my wedding day wonderful :)

Lindsey and her team were so crucial to ensuring our day was as close to perfect as they come that I, the groom, decided to sign up and leave a review.
I consider myself to have been fairly involved in the planning process, and though we were worried about not hiring someone local to our specific neck-of-the-woods, Lindsey made sure to ease those fears and delivered an amazing day for us, free from headaches. My thought is that Lindsey matches the couple's energy to make them comfortable. We were not extremely picky about anything, but that also means not extremely sure of what we wanted during planning and Lindsey helped guide us along the way without ever over-stepping boundaries. She encouraged my wife to reach out and not try to handle too much when she was there willing and able to help, which was much needed as we hit the highest, mostly unavoidable stress levels pre-wedding.
tl;dr of it all is that Lindsey helped make our wedding day more than we could have ever hoped for. We were not big on the idea of a wedding before starting to plan it, and we, to be honest, were not that big on it up until things started to come together. It wouldn't have come together the way it did without her help, and I am not just saying it, or exaggerating at all, when I say it was the best day of both of our lives.

I don't even know where to begin with Lindsey! I'm a classic over-thinker, worry over every single detail and am generally a hot mess. Even from a few hours away, Lindsey was able to calm my nerves, kept my eye on the prize, and took all of our thoughts and ideas and turned our wedding day into an absolute dream come true. Our wedding was perfection- We were able to just show up, get ready and had the absolute time of our lives without worrying about a single thing- Lindsey and Ashley just took care of every single thing so we were able to enjoy every last second. I swear they can read minds. Everything came together so seamlessly and we absolutely could not have done it without her and her team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Lindsey and Ashley with Simply Perfect Events are AMAZING. They truly made our day run smoothly and made sure everything was taken care of and in its place on the day-of. Our wedding was at a resort, so it was very spread out. They spent the day running around to 3 separate houses collecting all of the decorations and working with our venue coordinator to get everything squared away. They were always happy to come back to our house and help with anything we needed. Lindsey insisted that she would take care of everything so I could just stay at the house and enjoy getting ready with my wedding party. They allowed me to be in the moment for the entire day and not run around stressing about everything. I am pretty 'type A' so it was a different experience allowing someone to completely takeover and make a year of planning become reality. Whenever I asked about any of our wedding items, Lindsey told me exactly where it was, how it was setup, how we would get it, etc. They were always quick to troubleshoot any problems that came up, like my dress bustle tearing basically at the start of the reception. I can't thank Lindsey and her team enough for helping me and my husband actually relax and enjoy our wedding day! HIGHLY recommend them to anyone getting married!

Simply perfect events were so incredibly essential in making our wedding everything we wanted and more. Before we hired Lindsey, we thought we could handle everything, and now that our wedding is done, I don't know how we would have done it without her. Every detail was taken care of and even though me and my wife had things we were stressed about, Lindsey always made sure it was taken care of and accounted for. She was a vital part of making our wedding simply perfect!

Lindsey is simply the BEST. She saved the day when our floor plan was wrongly measured so the day before we found out we barely had a dance floor...we wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t double checked. She made the ceremony flow beautifully, ushered guests easily to the reception from cocktail hour, helped get the band their food, took care of me during pictures when I got light headed, ran to my husbands truck to get his sword that he left behind for the cake cutting...this list never ends. Not to mention all the prep work with vendors leading up to the event! Can’t say enough how great she is!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lindsey and her team! Not only did they show care and attention about every planning detail, the design and execution of our reception was flawless. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful our day was and how seamless everything was. We truly enjoyed every minute of our wedding because the Simply Perfect Events team had everything under control. They’re professional, presentable and incredibly creative! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams!

Lindsey and her team are an absolute dream come true. She was there for us every step of the way- even beyond what we booked her for. She made wedding planning so much fun and stress free. Her ideas are dream-like and she has the uncanny ability to make them all come to life. She even surprised us with our jaw dropping insanely cool horse trailer bar ( that her and her husband flipped in ONE WEEK) Our wedding was absolutely perfect from beginning to end and we have Simply Perfect Events to thank for it! I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Lindsey and now call her a friend!

When our daughter and fiancé got engaged my first thought was how in the world are we going to handle all the details for the best day of their lives? Simply Perfect Events and Lindsey Hocker were the answer. Lindsey made herself available from the start. Always so pleasant and easy to work with. Offered suggestions and guidance and really was instrumental on all the final touches . Her creative mind is limitless which helped to make our daughter’s vision come to life. We were able to enjoy the week before and day of with a wonderful calm that would not have been possible without Lindsey and her team. Hands down Lindsey and her team were fabulous.... we couldn’t of done it without them and made lifelong friends in the process!!

As the mother of the bride, I can honestly say that we couldn't have had a more beautiful and smoothly run wedding without Lindsey's (and her team's) assistance. Lindsey was available during the whole planning process, offering fantastic suggestions and ideas for vendors and organization. Although I "bombarded" her with a million and one questions (!), she always responded graciously, and with responses that put my daughter, her fiancé and I at ease. Lindsey was patient while my daughter spent a couple of months "out of wedding planning mode" due to writing her doctoral thesis, and during this time Lindsey never forgot about us, keeping touch just to say she hoped the dissertation was going well. She is extremely sweet and considerate, always focused on the bride and putting her first above all else, making her feel important and special. Lindsey was receptive to the bride's ideas and vision and helped implement these ideas to the best of her ability. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects involved in wedding planning, and offered numerous, valuable advice and suggestions. Lindsey's husband who is a pastor, served as a very gentile and considerate officiant. In conclusion, we give Lindsey the highest possible rating, and would not hesitate to recommend her to others! She was invaluable to creating the loveliest wedding possible!

I can honestly say without Lindsey at simply perfect events, I would not have had a wedding. Growing up, I was never the girl that dreamed of my wedding day. Before my wedding, I wanted to elope. But I’m so thankful that my pigheaded husband insisted on a wedding and that we went with Lindsey to help us make it perfect. It was our dream wedding that I never knew I wanted.
She had her hands full. I had no idea what I wanted. I told her I loved sunflowers and mason jars but didn’t want anything rustic. I had never seen or used Pinterest. And heaven forbid please don’t put blush anywhere in my wedding.
She took what little I was able to give her and turned our backyard wedding into a garden party affair fit for a bride and groom. The table settings were perfectly curated, I can’t believe I just said that. From the linens to the gold flatware I was originally against to the candles and the handmade runner she made my husband and me. (We kept it) everything was stunning. The clear top tent and the vendors she suggested all pulled through beautifully. While she was not able to attend our wedding because she had already been contracted for another (a fact she told us up front), she made sure to FaceTime us to congratulate us!
We weren’t without our fair share of difficulties. The wedding was outside, rain eminent, and remote. And I mean remote. Lindsey handled it all in stride and worked tirelessly to coordinate the vendors and transportation needs of our event. She let me text her at odd hours freaking out and had calls with us to quell our anxiety. Budget for my family was always an issue and I encourage brides to be up front and strict with your budget, because Lindsey is creative and will do her best to work within the budget you give her. She’ll also be honest when she just cannot do it and will have to cut from other places.
I was hesitant that all of Lindsey’s reviews were so positive in the beginning and chalked it up to post wedding bliss. But Lindsey exceeded our expectations and planned a beautiful wedding tailored to the two of us. She deserves all the praise for pulling it off and for dealing with a bride and groom who had no idea what they had gotten themselves into and who had our fair share of drama and difficulties. I will not sit here and tell you it wasn’t stressful. Because it was, and I have no idea why anyone wants to plan a wedding. But Lindsey navigated us through the entire process with grace and calmness. We cannot say thank you enough!

Lindsey and her team did a fantastic job. My wife and I are not creative types at all, and Lindsey was able to bring our vision to life in a beautiful way. We had a rather off the grid, private venue with lots of challenges, and Lindsey made the most of it in the perfect way. I would recommend using her team and venders because they work well together from experience. The best part is the assurance that should anything not go according to plan, there is a team of professionals that make sure the event goes smoothly and the guests are none the wiser. Thank you Lindsey.

Simply perfect events was amazing! I got married a year ago at the Hermitage Museum and Lindsey and her team were there every step of the way! Lindsey was my day coordinator, but she was so much more than that... she helped me with planning and details I would have never thought of on my own! I could have not done any of it without her.... on my wedding day I was so calm and did not have to worry about a thing because of simply perfect events. There are just some things you don't want to think about on your wedding day and I didn't have to because of them and all the insight and knowledge they have about weddings and details made my wedding day better all around!

Working full time and with my bridal party all out of state, I needed someone who could walk me through the wedding planning process step-by-step. Lindsey did all that and more. Even in our initial meeting, she was helping me contact photographers! Her enthusiasm and experience made the whole wedding planning process fun and stress free. She has great relationships with local vendors, which meant that we were able to get the wedding we wanted while staying on budget. If there were any problems the day of the wedding, we had no idea. The whole day was executed to perfection and I know that is thanks to Lindsey and her team.

Lindsey and her team are a pleasure to work with. Lindsey helped me to navigate through some last minute unexpected bumps and kept me from freaking out. She ran our rehearsal for us and had her staff on site for day of coordination. They made sure all of the details that I had requested were taken care of so that I could just enjoy my day and not think of the details. Her staff stayed and made sure our venue was cleaned up and everything returned to the proper parties. This enabled my family and bridal party not to be burdened with the task of setting up or cleaning up at the end of the night. No matter how large or small your wedding is, Simply Perfect Events will make sure you wedding is exactly that.

Lindsey came recommended to us from a trusted friend and we were extremely happy for the referral! When my wife and Lindsey clicked almost immediately in our first conversation, I knew we had found our Planner. Lindsey brought balance and peace of mind to our wedding planning though out the entire process. As a groom, having a stress free fiance allowed us to truly enjoy the entire experience up to and through our wedding day. Our Wedding Day was as perfect as it could be for us and we have Lindsey and Simply Perfect Events to thank for that!

Lindsey and her team were absolutely wonderful! Lindsey was recommended to us by friends and it was a recommendation we're so happy we pursued. She was friendly and on top of things from the get-go, and she was willing to provide the specific services we wanted in our custom package. Lindsey was so sweet; she spent time getting to know us as a couple and not just as clients. She is incredibly experienced and knows what she is doing, which took much of the worry and fuss out of the process. As the wedding got closer, she was in more frequent touch, and she was always willing to respond to questions--big and small. In addition to our wedding planner, she also became a friend throughout the process, which my husband and I both appreciated. The days leading up to the wedding were much less stressful because of her and her hard work. She worked flawlessly with the venue the day-of, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lindsey. You will not be disappointed!

As the Mother of the Bride planning a daughters wedding is ominous at best. There is so much to know and so much to do. It can be a very stressful time, often taking the joy of seeing your baby get married. Mere words cannot describe how very appreciated the services of Simply Perfect Events was! Every little detail was planned and executed over and above what I could have expected. The wedding turned out just fabulous, absolutely perfect! Having Simply Perfect Events do all the hard work, using their expertise, over-the-top vendors, to coordinate and plan, allowed me to spend time with my little bride, enjoying this wedding instead of being concerned with the million details. Lindsey is the absolute best!

The day of the wedding ran smoothly thanks to Marcia and Kim! They kept us on schedule effortlessly and literally every time I would suddenly say "I need..." they would be walking towards me with exactly was I was about to say I needed! These coordinators allow you to soak in you wonderful day and remind you how effortless love is!

Simply Perfect Events did an outstanding job with my daughter’s wedding at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Marcia and Kim were our day of coordinators and helped execute a beautiful stress free day. They took care of so many more things than I expected, they made sure the ceremony and reception spaces were flawless, they kept the event timeline moving, they handled some minor crises, and then made our exit easy, making sure everything was collected and transported to our vehicles. Their attention to detail paired with a calm and helpful demeanor made for an excellent experience. Lindsey’s advice in advance of our special day was invaluable, her insight and suggestions were so helpful, and made the day simply perfect. I highly recommend Simply Perfect events for your wedding.

I can't thank Lindsey and her team enough. I was an India bride looking for a coordinator to just help for the days of. Lindsey helped me with both my Garba and Wedding day. We had an expected guested count of 550 & 750 respectively. We needed the help! Creating a timeline before the event, calling vendors, helping with last minute changes in vendors, she was great. During the days of the events she was the help we needed to take care of the little things. She helped for vendor coordination, setup, helped us stick to our timeline (we are Indian, so somewhat), she even helped with the large photo session we had after the wedding. She was great! Need the extra help? Then this is the team you are looking for!

Lindsey went above and beyond with every single detail down to the hand made runners that never exsisted other than in our minds and made it work flawlessly from yards of fabric. The energy she brought to my big day was everything that I needed to keep me grounded and stress free. I can't even believe how seemless everything went with her expertise and imagination. She even rearranged 160 ceremony chairs 10 minutes before the wedding bc my venue dropped the ball! This dream team makes magic happen!!! I love them and will never ever plan another party without their help! THANK YOU LINDSEY!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsey did a fantastic job. Actual quote from the evening "This truly was a simply perfect evening" - Bride. SPE was prompt, efficient, valuable, and really made the process a breeze! I had a budget and SPE helped me stick to it and realize what was important and what we could pass on. SPE helped narrow the field of vendors (which is massive) and make a normally stressful process very laid back. The day of the wedding I didn't worry about a thing. SPE was on it, dealing with things that I did not even know needed to be dealt with. In all, Lindsey did such an amazing job that one of my co-workers who attended the wedding inquired about her services and has since hired her as well. Lindsey doesn't make you feel like just another customer. Lindsey makes you feel like you're her ONLY customer, regardless of budget size. I would 100% recommend Lindsey to others, as I already have. I don't recommend any products or services in which I don't fully believe, but Lindsey and Simply Perfect Events deserve all the praise I can offer.

I can remember my first call to Lindsey, the amazing woman running the SPE operation, and I knew right away that we were a great match for the planning process for my husband and I’s wedding! My husband was gone for most of the planning period so I gravitated toward Lindsey to shoot ideas back and forth with and she was so kind and open to any discussion I brought to her! She is generous, professional, detail oriented, patient, and understanding. She is quick to assess a situation and know what needs to be done and will get things done promptly and with ease. Whether you want her to take the lead in every aspect of your wedding or need a day-of planner, Lindsey and her team are the way to go! I speak from over a year of experience with Lindsey that she and the entire SPE team are dedicated planners that will ensure your wedding or event is perfect from start to finish!! Highest recommendations for this lovely lady and her team! Sending a huge thank you and hugs to Lindsey and the SPE team!

Lindsey and her team are the greatest!
My husband and I live in Colorado, but we were planning a Richmond wedding. I figured wedding planning is hard enough, so for a long distance event, we decided to hire Lindsey to help with the entire process. This was one of the best decisions that we made.
Since we were half a continent away, we did not have a lot of time to pick over tons of vendors. One of the best perks of getting Lindsey is that you get all of her great connections. Lindsey set us up with a few high quality vendors and let us choose from the best. We loved our venue, catering team, DJ, our photographers and everything she set up for us.
One of the more striking things about working with Lindsey, is that she really listens and tries to showcase the couple she is working with. She adapted easily to our personal styles, kept us on task and never seemed flustered.
The greatest testament to her work and creativity is all the comments we received from our guests. We cannot tell you how many times we heard, "this was exactly you." There was nothing generic or forced about that day. Lindsey really took all of our jumbled ideas of what we wanted for our wedding and created a truly special moment in our lives.
I HIGHLY recommend Lindsey Hocker and her team at Simply Perfect Events. Hard to put a price tag on the expertise she provides.

Simply Perfect Events is truly that, Perfect. Lindsey and her team made our dream day a reality. Her attentiveness, hard work, and genuine passion are only exceeding by the final product she made a reality. She made planning our wedding stress free, allowing my wife and I to focus on enjoying our special day. Not only was she incredibly responsive to my bride, but she as took my inputs as the groom with equal weight as my wife's. 5 Star's is simply not high enough, I would recommend Simply Perfect Events to anyone!

Lindsey is simply the best. From the second we called her for an interview until the last "Is there anything else I can do for you", Lindsey was amazing. Her guidance with planning, design, vendor picks, contracts and management, and day of coordination made my daughter's wedding a dream come true. She successfully managed our out of town wedding in Charlottesville, with Lauren, and vendors ranging from Virginia Beach to New York City and always with a smile. I really can't say enough wonderful things about her. - Carla, Mother of the Bride

Lindsey's team at Simply Perfect Events is pure gold! My wife and I connected very well with Lindsey from our first meeting. She immediately grabbed ahold of our vision and started working to ensure it came to life spectacularly. Here's an analogy: as the bride and groom, we were the architects with a very specific vision, while Simple Perfect Events provided the engineering and structural support to ensure a flawless execution on our wedding day. Our wedding reception was at the Chrysler Museum of Art, which with all of its beauty and glamour comes with understandable regulations to protect its assets. We also had a Filipino-American wedding with all of the fun and unique cultural traditions. We didn't have live music or dj - we had both! We had 9 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids. All the other trimmings too. Sound like a tough wedding to pull off? Not for SPE. Lindsey and her team absolutely hit a home run. Anytime you're dealing with so many vendors, issues are gonna pop up... Lindsey minimalized them so we didn't even know they existed (I should also mention how well-connected she is - that's important). She is a doll to talk with backstage, but when the curtain goes up she is all business and knows how to produce.. and that is what every great production needs, wedding or otherwise. We cannot thank her enough for understanding our vision, understanding us, and bringing it all to life.

Lindsey and her team did an excellent job with wedding coordination and even handled behind the scenes negotiations with several other vendors that I hired which took away a lot of the stress from me. I was very impressed with their ability to handle our large-scale Indian wedding and how much they knew about Indian weddings! Highly recommend!

Lindsey and her team are simply incredibly at planning weddings. From decor and details to organization and contract management, I simply could not have pulled off a wedding without her. Her attention to detail, creative style, knowledge of the industry, and people management skills completely made the difference in our wedding day and the many days leading up to it. Lindsey is professional, flexible, responsive, and incredibly creative and kind and she was worth every penny for her professional abilities. If you’re thinking about getting a wedding planner, TRUST ME, Lindsey is a savior and truly created the wedding of our dreams! You will get well worth your money and the wedding planning experience that you’ve dreamed of! I could never thank Lindsey and her team enough for our incredible day – it truly made our lives!!

From the Bride-
Simply Perfect Events was the right fit for us. Initially we didn't want a wedding coordinator, but as the wedding got closer we knew we needed help tying up the loose ends.
We met with a few vendors looking for a “day of” coordinator but didn't click with any until we met Lindsey. She explained that she and her team would be involved the whole month leading up to the wedding. She made us feel at ease and we ended up booking her. She and her team got right to work helping us tighten up our event. We felt more confident of our decision after hearing her praises from the vendors we had already booked.
We had a pre ceremony cocktail time for our guests, a ceremony, and a cocktail style reception (no assigned seating and plenty of mingling). I thought that we had such a simple event and it would go off without a hitch… Sure enough, things started to go off course and stress started to creep in. Lindsey and her staff kept calm and advised clearly on what needed to be done. From lighting mishaps and late transportation, to missing speech givers, Lindsey and her Simply Perfect Events team took care of it. Our guests had no clue that things weren’t as planned.
We seriously couldn’t imagine having to put out those small fires without Lindsey. It would've taken away from the time and experience we spent with friends and family.
She was a calm, bright, and friendly face, on what could’ve been a very stressful day.

In addition to all of the things my wife listed, Lindsey's help was greatly appreciated at the end of the event. She facilitated breaking down the venue and made sure our stuff (decorations, extra food, random purse, top layer of cake, etc…) was at our hotel waiting for us. Closing down our wedding and cleaning up after ourselves was the last thing we were thinking about, and we didn't want to burden our guests (the sober ones) with the task. Having Simply Perfect Events take care of that final detail was the icing on the cake for me.
Do yourselves a favor and invest in a coordinator for your wedding and we highly recommend that coordinator be Lindsey with Simply Perfect Events.
Besides the professionalism and a cool head, we felt like we made a friend.
Lindsey rocks.

Of all of the expenses and planning we did leading up to our wedding, one of the best decisions we made was to hire a coordinator. As a designer myself, I wanted to to most of the planning and hands-on work, however the weekend of the wedding, I was hoping to step back and trust someone else to take over and put it all together. I found the perfect person with Lindsey (and Lauren). We worked with Lindsey and her assistant Lauren for our wedding rehearsal and wedding day and they did an incredible job! Lindsey helped keep everyone on the same page and move things along the day of, even when there were last minute needs or questions. We actually enjoyed every bit of our wedding day and did not stress about anything. Thank you guys so much for all you did and all your patience with my ideas :)

This was a decision I made more toward the end of the planning as I got closer to the wedding but I am SO GLAD I did. It was wonderful to have Billie Jo there with me to take care of all the little things like set up, tear down, and keep with the timeline. I never felt she was pushy but kept us on track and was so willing to work with us to make sure it was our perfect day! I must also say my family loved her as well because she tended to them and made sure they had everything they needed! It was a perfect day and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Simply Perfect events-my only regret would have been not hiring them from the start because I know they would have helped even more!!

Where do I even start... If you are getting married- HIRE A COORDINATOR/PLANNER! You will not regret it! My husband was weary at first and questioned why we needed a planner but will be the first to say now that he is SO glad we made the investment with Simply Perfect Events! Lindsey was amazing to work with from start to finish. She wasn't just someone we hired for our wedding, she became a friend throughout the process. She was there to listen, provide her incredible creative input, craft, manage vendors, you name it- Lindsey was there to do it for us if we needed. She made sure our wedding weekend went off without a hitch. She made my visions for the reception come to life- it was more than I could have asked for. I could not have been more pleased with the quality of service she and her team provided. The name of the company is spot on- she made sure our day was SIMPLY PERFECT.
