We used SW for the day of coordination through our venue. I felt so at ease during our wedding and all thanks to Cristina! She will there for you and will make sure everything was taken care of. I could not recommend their services enough. Had to give her a hug – She did so well!
From the moment my fiancé and I decided to get married in Las Vegas, I knew that I couldn't do this on my own....
Cristina and her team at Simply Weddings were recommended to us by our reception venue, The Nomad Library. Within a few minutes of making initial contact and speaking with Cristina, I knew that she would be the person up to the task of turning my exceedingly particular and detailed vision into a reality. It was clear that we were on the same page when it came to the level of execution that I was demanding. This wasn't going to be a casual affair. As a busy professional, I am used to timelines and deliverables, and Cristina was up to the challenge of producing our wedding with a high level of precision.
However, a wedding isn't a business. It was going to be the single most important and loving day of our relationship. So, in addition to it being a perfectly executed event for our guests, we wanted every moment to be filled with our love for each other, and beauty, and warmth, and care, and family. And it was.
The major advantage of using Cristina was that I was only required to make final decisions based upon the pre-selected and researched options she provided. She recommended the best of the best creative partners so that, along with her personal experience of using these vendors, we would not have to cross our fingers and hope for the best final result. It was clear that the individuals she recommended were of her same caliber and would provide their services to my exacting standard.
When the Wedding Day finally came, it was calm. Beyond calm. Cristina and her team left no stone unturned. They were present at each venue and at every turn to ensure every detail was executed perfectly and every contingency was in place so that my husband and I could switch off and focus on the monumental occasion of our marriage. She held my hand, quite literally, from getting ready to the ceremony to the reception, and also ensured that our family members and guests felt supported and important.
As they say, the day goes so fast! And we wish we could live it over and over again. It was the single best day of our lives, by a landslide. Not only did I get to marry the love of my life in the most glorious way, but our guests kept and still keep commenting about how happy my husband and I were. We both got to enjoy the moment and we have too many memories to mention, but that is because Cristina and her team seamlessly handled the innumerable details and the problems that no-doubt arose, without us having the slightest idea.
Our families and guests won't stop saying that it was the best wedding that they have ever, and will ever, attend. That's because the weekend was not only over-flowing with our love, but it was unique, filled with personal touches and we made the guests feel like royalty. That's because of Cristina.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cristina, for turning my vision into your vision. The final product was beyond our wildest dreams. We would live it over and over again, if we could. The only solution is to renew our vows in 10 years ;)
I had a beautiful wedding experience with Simply Weddings. Cristina did an amazing job with executing a wedding I literally had no time to plan myself. She led me through all the details of the wedding process and not once did I feel stressed or out of depth in what I needed to happen. If we needed to adjust for budget she was helpful in providing alternative options.
I had a (from my perspective as the bride) a no fuss wedding that went off without a hitch and I have beautiful memories from the event as well as non stop compliments about my wedding as well. I highly recommend Cristina and her team.
Lexi was our day of coordinator for our wedding and she was AWESOME!! Amazing, kind, just the greatest person ever! She made sure everything was exactly as we wanted and made sure it was all beautiful, made sure we were taken care of the entire day as bride and groom and didn’t have to lift a finger, coordinated everything that needed to be done day of with all other vendors and truly just took all the stress away for me. Having her there was a breath of fresh air because I KNEW she was going to take care of everything and I didn’t need to worry at all. I would absolutely recommend Lexi and Simply weddings to anybody!!! Thank you Lexi so so much!
We just wanted to thank you for everything (and I mean everything) you've done for us. Our wedding was amazing and more than we could of expected. The tiny little details you created were so special. You really have such talent!
Everything about them is amazing!! Lexi was so great in the months leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. I had absolutely no worries!! She made everything perfect!! I would recommend them to anyone.
Words cant express how grateful we are for Cristina and her crew at Simply Weddings LV. From the moment we first sat down at my home to the follow up email post wedding, she's exceeded all my expectations. If you have a dream wedding or you simply don't have a vision yet...call Cristina at Simply Weddings!!
Cristina and her team are worth every penny and more! She is with you every step of the way and will move mountains to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams. She has excellent relationships with vendors, a fantastic eye for design, and is the most detail-oriented person we have ever met. Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous about my wedding day, and I could say "no" because I knew Cristina was there to handle it all. I didn't have to worry about anything besides looking and feeling my best on my big day. Our venue and decor were gorgeous, and Cristina was by my side the whole night in case I needed anything. We couldn't be happier with her and how our wedding turned out.
It is always concerning when faced planning and coordinating an event as important as a wedding, especially one that was occurring far from our home in Louisiana. However, we were blessed enough to find Christina who guided us through the planning process efficiently, providing options based on our requests at every step. She was on the ground in Las Vegas allowing us to enjoy the planning for our wedding with a minimum of stress and aggravation. When the weekend arrived and we began the celebration Christina and her team lived up to our trust. The ceremony was beautiful and well designed, exactly what we imagined. The dinner afterwards was stunning and provided the perfect venue for us and our family to visit in an elegant space. All the transportation and prepatory work was handled seamlessly so that we did not have to stress or worry. I would highly recommend Christine as a wedding planner as she made our event perfect.
Me and my fiancé were planning our wedding in Las Vegas while being located in separate countries, I was based in England still and he was in Arizona which made planning our wedding in Las Vegas quite difficult.
I found Simply Weddings on Instagram reached out to Cristina and the team to help us plan our dinner reception, we hired Simply Weddings to do just that as well as help with vendor selection and day of coordination.
Throughout the planning process Cristina shared her ideas, listened to ours and made great recommendations on location, flowers, our photographer and more. As an end result created a more beautiful dinner reception then we have envisioned.
Throughout day coordination, the Simply Weddings team were exceptional helping with things we didn't know we would need ...from a last minute veil purchase, ensuring the Groom and Bride didn't accidentally spot each other on route to the venue, collecting our dinner flowers and transferring them back to our hotel to be used in our suite after and handing out personalised drinks to guests after our ceremony!
One thing we must mention which was both unexpected and most appreciated by us was Cristina helping look after our son during our dinner reception. Having an 18 month old we rarely focus on eachother during dinner but as Bride and Groom we were able to be present in that moment and enjoy dinner together as Cristina held our son!
Thank you very much Simply Weddings team, we couldn't have done it without you!
We can express how wonderful our experience with our Coordinator Lexie from Simple Weddings
So professional, helpful and we could not of done this without her
She was like part of our family and kept everything running smoothly
Thanks so much Lexie
Diane and Bill Maxwell
After we booked our venue, I did a painstaking research of finding a wedding planner since my now husband and I both have busy work schedules, have less than a year of planning and wanted to both have Catholic & Jewish ceremonies. After our phone consultation and spent countless hours online perusing reviews, Cristina was our top choice by a mile & hired her for the partial planning service. Her fee is reasonable, her professionalism is top notch and her reputation precedes her.
Cristina is such a joy to work with. She always has a smile on her face. She was prompt in responding to our texts & emails (sometimes both, and we exchanged tons!) throughout the entire process. She has creative ideas and has excellent taste when it comes to her design proposals while being cognizant of our budget. She’s both flexible and accommodating while planning (and revising) our timeline. Furthermore, she has excellent rapport with her peers and is highly regarded and much loved by local vendors/creative partners.
Cristina has a calm demeanor. She was the steady presence that helped me find my Zen amidst the stress and whenever I felt overwhelmed especially weeks leading up to the event (trust me, that day will come and when it does, you’ll be so glad that you have her by your side).
Cristina was truly indispensable on our wedding day. Having her there made us worry less and made my husband & I cherish and enjoy our wedding day knowing that she’s overseeing everything; much like a conductor of a well-run orchestra. Thank you so very much Cristina for making our wedding so memorable and help turn my vision into a beautiful reality!
Cristina and Lexi were more than helpful on my wedding day! A lot of things went wrong and Cristina was there every step of the way to help handle everything smoothly. They both are so sweet and understanding & definitely love what they do! You will not be disappointed with them!
Can’t say enough about Christina Gonzalez and her team from Simply Weddings. My daughters wedding was wonderful and Christina was on every detail to make it a perfect event!!! Highly recommend her services!!!
Simply weddings is simply AMAZING! My husband and I were married in 8 months from our engagement and Cristina made every part of the process enjoyable and stress free. She had incredible recommendations for vendors, innovative ideas for personalizing you and your guests experience, and always made sure that my husband and I were truly happy with every decision we made. There are sincerely not enough words for how thankful we are to Crisitina and her team at Simply Wedding for creating not only an amazing wedding day but amazing experience in planning the whole event. She is professional, organized and personal. I would recommend Simply Wedding to everyone I know and if you decide to connect with this company just know you will be getting an amazing experience.
Shout out to Lexi! She was absolutely amazing to work with on our wedding day. We had Simply Weddings assigned to us through our wedding venue as part of our package. I honestly didn't know what to expect and didn't think I needed anyone to help me on our wedding day, but she was amazing to have and I highly recommend having Simply Weddings the day of your wedding to help with all the little things that go on through the day. (trust me, it is more chaotic than you can imagine) I didn't realize how fast the day moved and Lexi made sure my husband and I had everything we needed before we even thought about it and we just focused on enjoying each other and had the most beautiful day. Hands down, if you are getting married in Las Vegas, use Simply Weddings for your wedding day!
GRATEFUL is the word that sums up our experience with Cristina. I found Simply Weddings online and emailed Cristina an inquiry, she called me right away to set up a meeting. We knew after our first meeting that she was the perfect fit to help plan our daughter’s wedding. She answered all our questions, asked many of her own and got right to work. She and I worked very closely throughout the entire planning process and her integrity, professionalism, creativity, attention to detail, organization, and willingness to always go above and beyond made the experience truly amazing. She has relationships with some of the best vendors in the business and recommends the ones that will best fit your vision. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about one thing, Cristina and her team handled it ALL. Anissa & Travis had a true fairytale wedding because of Cristina, we will remember their special day forever.
I don’t even know where to begin! Christina (and Lexi) are absolutely amazing!!!! I had no idea planning an intimate wedding would be so much work. A few weeks before my wedding I hired Christina for the “day of wedding” package, and I am so glad I did. She helped SO much more than I expected- she had detailed timelines and all important numbers ready days before the wedding so there was no confusion on what to expect. She helped with custom gifts for our guests (at the very last minute!) and helped plan the perfect surprises for my husband. I was able to actually enjoy my wedding day because Christina was behind the scenes making sure everybody and everything was in place and on time. She put my mind at ease not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire process once I hired her. She helped with everything from applying for our marriage license to bringing food to my house the day of my wedding. Both Christina and Lexi were so professional and so sweet and so helpful I cannot recommend them enough!!!
For starters, Cristina is a pleasure to work with. She's very sweet, flexible, and professional. She has a good eye, and with her ample experience, she knows how to pull things together to look fantastic. We loved how the decoration of our wedding ceremony and reception turned out. She also managed to include last minute decoration enhancements that made the room look gorgeous, and she totally saved us when the company in charge or making our menus messed up -- she found a way to make the correction and get it printed out elsewhere on the day before the wedding! She is that cool! So we highly recommend her to other brides and grooms out there, and if I ever have to put another big thing together, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Cristina brought our dream wedding to life at the Bellagio in LV. We thought it would be very difficult planning a wedding from across the country, but Cristina's detailed planning, punctuality, guidance, vendor connections, calming energy, and most importantly vision made our experience seamless! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding. She even helped us plan a welcome event for our wedding weekend. The day of the wedding everything went so smooth as her and her team managed all the action behind the scenes. Leading up to the event she worked so closely with us to help us plan every detail, pull together a mood board, work through event rentals, organize the most beautiful florals ever, the list honestly goes on and on. We miss her already, Cristina you're part of our extended family now! If you're ever in Miami please let us know!
We hired Cristina as a coordinator for our wedding reception a week ago. She did an amazing job of handling the back and forth between all of my vendors, made sure the venue was looking immaculate on the day, and was very responsive and communicative in the weeks leading up to the party. On top of that, she was extremely nice and so easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I felt comfortable and relaxed on what normally could be a hectic day. I highly recommend Cristina at Simply Weddings Las Vegas!
What can I say except that I could not have done it without Cristina. She took a neurotic middle aged bride that was very specific about certain things and completely disinterested about others and created an event that our friends are STILL raving about 2 weeks later. To make it even harder, I am a live event producer and at least 1/3rd of the guests were producers as well, and if you don't think they weren't looking at everything with a professional, critical eye you are crazy. They notice EVERYTHING. And it was a resounding success. She took very little direction from me, especially as I refused to do any sort of Pinterest page, and created the wedding of my dreams. I am not kidding, I did not even know what the flowers were going to look like until she handed me my bouquet. She was on it...from the decorations, the guest swag, the room blocks, to heating, to music, to the cake, to the flowers, to the invites. She had it all COVERED. She even helped with arranging for my best friend who lives in France to be able to perform the ceremony. And she made sure I had a drink in my hand BEFORE the ceremony which I think was the most important thing she could have done the whole night :-) . She made my husband and me feel very cared for during the whole process. She and her assistant Jennifer even battled high winds standing on a ladder trying to stop the chuppah from blowing away. Beyond the call of duty! So all this to say, and take it from an event professional, she is an absolute rock star and I would recommend her to anyone...and not just for weddings. I would hire her for any party event that I was throwing if she was willing to do it!!!
Cristina and her staff were a pleasure to work with to ensure all of the details of my parents anniversary party were seen through. They truly helped make the event a memorable one!
Cristina and her team made our day amazing! Everything was taken care of so we can enjoy our day! We had guest commenting how well organized our wedding was and enjoyed seeing us so happy and stress free! Simply wedding made that possible .. thank you ladies!
Cristina and her team are amazing!!! Our venue the JW Marriott Las Vegas and Simply Weddings are partnered together and from day one Cristina was organized and was ready to help in any way possible. We had to postpone because of COVID but as soon as we met up again she didn’t skip a beat! She made the whole night go so smoothly. I am so grateful to her and Tiffany!! They were absolutely phenomenal!!
Lexi Krug was awesome: A hard worker with a great attitude! She reached out to us a month in advance to talk about the bride's vision for her wedding day, and on the big day, she was a true game day manager! She was there to assist at every turn, to include bustling the bride's dress prior to the grand entry. In addition, she shuffled belongings to the wedding suite ensuring everything was in place, to include rose pedals and champagne which provided a lovely closing to a perfect closing to a wonderful day.
I will be honest, I didn't think I needed a wedding coordinator/planner. I thought I could do it all on my own. Until we had our engagement party. And then I realized I was thinking about every little detail. Who was going to take the trash out, does everyone have a drink, what event is next up in the night, is the music ok? My fiance convinced me to look into Simply Weddings, the girl who cuts our hair recommended them. I got in touch with them and they made me feel comforted and confident that my event would run smoothly. I knew I needed them and let me tell you, I cannot imagine our wedding running as smoothly as it did without Lexi from Simply Weddings. She placed name tags for the seating assignments, she folded napkins for each place setting, she answered guests questions about parking, she answered guest questions about anything! She checked up on me throughout the night, making sure I had enough water or food. She reminded me of the time and that "first dance" was coming up. Lexi made our night run without a single hiccup. It was flawless. I'm so grateful for Lexi and the Simply Weddings team. If you are thinking about getting a coordinator or planner, just do it. It's money well spent to be able to enjoy every moment of your big day.
Cristina and her team pulled off a miracle wedding for us when an impending windstorm forced us to change venues less than 24 hours before our wedding. This is just one of the many obstacles we worked through after the pandemic through a wrench in our original plan. Cristina was responsive, resourceful, professional, and empathetic throughout the entire wedding planning process - start to finish.
As a same gender couple, it was important to us to work with someone who listened to our vision and had a strong ability to think outside the box. Cristina took a fresh, innovative approach to planning our celebration down to the last detail.
We could not be happier!
Wonderful experience with Lexi Kruger from Simply Weddings!
Lexi was our day-of coordinator for our wedding at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. She was so kind, caring, and attentive.
Leading up to our wedding, Lexi continuously checked in and helped coordinate the day-of production timeline with all the vendors behind the scenes, which took all the stress off of us!
The timeline worked very well – we didn’t run into a single issue day-of. During the reception, Lexi was attentive and made sure that my husband & I were well taken care of. We greatly appreciate all of her help making our day extra special!
Cristina from Simply Weddings helped us planned our 40th wedding anniversary. In the beginning, we were planning to celebrate it in Las Vegas, but due to COVID we had a change in plans. We decided to have it in Mexico. Even though it was an intimate celebration, Cristina made sure no detail was overseen: from the ceremony's floral arch, my bouquet, the guest table floral and rentals and the menu. She even helped us with the photographer, cake and a virtual Zoom toast. She was attentive and helpful even from afar, accompanying us every step of the way. Without a doubt she made this celebration meaningful and allowed us to virtually celebrate with our family and friends that otherwise would have been impossible to celebrate 40 years of unconditional love!
Lexi was amazing to work with! She was so detailed and was amazing the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to help me coordinate everything I had planned, she helped organized and execute everything the day of making my wedding a dream come true! I’m so thankful I had simply weddings there to make everything stress free and I was able to enjoy my wedding!
We couldn't be more happier about the details of our wedding. Christina was amazing at ensuring we were stress free and for the day to go smoothly. She communicated often to ensure she captured all the details. We are so grateful to have had such a great day of wedding coordinator. She has an amazing team and helped ensure our day was as perfect as can be. Thank you for the beautiful room set up and ensuring we were all taken care of. ❤
Our wedding in a Pandemic! Not what we had planned,. when we made the decision to have an “initimate”, wedding on 10-10-2020, in an area we knew nothing about and didn’t know anyone, we relied on the experience of expertise of the JW Marriott, Las Vegas and the vendors they have relationships with.
Christina Gonzales, Simply Weddings Las Vegas provided our day of coordination services as well as much insight and assistance before we arrived. She was always responsive and able to answer my many questions, offer ideas and solutions. She was so organized providing a written schedule of the timing of things, showing up early, checking in with us and was ahead of everything to be put into place. She did an amazing job and spent a lot of time after our wedding ceremony while we were taking pictures. No stress, just fun with a lot of laughs. I would highly recommend her and all the staff at the JW Marriott, Las Vegas.
Cristina from Simply Weddings was beyond anything I could have expected. She was available for every little question. Helped me choose vendors after talking to my fiancé and I that was a real and lengthy conversation where she truly got to know us. When I was unsure of something as simple as the unity candle to choose she helped me with her honest opinion and professional eye.
I could never be prepared for how smoothly everything came into place. From our first conversation to the last minutes of our wedding night dinner at the Famous Picasso restaurant where she got us the table where Julia Roberts and George Clooney had their famous scene in Oceans Eleven. Every detail, every emergency that I thought of last minute on our wedding day, she was there with a solution and a truly glorious smile. Without Cristina I could never hope to have half the wedding event that she orchestrated. Nothing was left out or forgotten. I reality, she also incorporated small surprises all through our wedding stay. From ensuring we were created with my favorite bottle of Champagne 🥂 for a toast immediately after our wedding, to the reservations and secret surprises she helped my fiancé organize to romance me all weekend and not just our wedding day. I cannot say enough, there are not enough words in the English language to convey the depth of my happiness, gratitude, and relief that her guidance and support afforded me on a destination elopement. There is no one better, that is one thing that I can be completely positive about emphatically. I hope you are lucky enough that she is available for your event or wedding in the future. She will be your greatest assets and hidden treasure that will make your wildest dreams seem simple compared to what she will accomplish for you.
Thank you Cristina from the bottom of my heart. My wedding day would not have been the same without all your hard work and attention to detail.
I can't say enough great things about Cristina and her team! They were simply amazing. Cristina helped me with ideas for my wedding that I would have never thought of and went above and beyond in every way possible to make my day just enjoyable and stress free. Cristina thought of things I would never have thought of until it was a problem the day of. My guests, wedding party, even my dad (who isnt the most observant) complemented Cristina and her team and how they made everything go without a hitch. Cristina was always easily reachable-even checking in with us before the wedding when covid was threatening the date and stressing us out. Cannot recommend Cristina and her team enough. USE THEM! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding day.
Lexi Kruger from Simply Weddings was amazing! She made our wedding day run so smoothly. I didn't have to worry about anything. She took care of all of the details and I just was able to enjoy the day and every moment. She even hung out and taught my guests line dances during the reception. My family and friends complimented me on how amazing she was! I would recommend Lexi and Simply Weddings to everyone!!! <3
My husband and I worked with Cristina Gonzalez from Simply Weddings when planning our Las Vegas wedding on October 2nd, 2019. Initially we tried planning the wedding by ourselves, but after months of going around in circles and getting frustrated with one another, we decided to find a wedding planner. Our online research lead us to Simply Weddings, one of the highest rated planners in Las Vegas, and they did not disappoint. We loved working with Cristina as she is very friendly, professional, accommodating and a great problem solver. As we were travelling overseas while planning the wedding, Cristina was able to help us realise our vision through Skype, email and WhatsApp. Any, and all, questions we had were answered promptly and in detail at all hours of the day. Cristina suggested a range of vendors who she liaised with behind the scenes to make our lives easier and ensure we got the best price for their services. On the day of the wedding, Cristina and her team worked tirelessly to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible. Their experience was invaluable as they problem solved issues, and worked to a schedule that would have been impossible to do by ourselves. Looking back on the day now, we are so happy we decided to work with Cristina and Simply Weddings. We would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding in Las Vegas.
I can not thank enough Simply Weddings Cristina and Lexi for prepping and also making my wedding day run smoothly! Cristina was very professional, sweet, helpful and with a great calming personality. She made sure everything was covered on my wedding day with the other vendors. I love how detailed oriented she was and very organized. I would definitely recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Simply Weddings and our day of wedding coordinator was Lexi Kruger.
Lexi was so detailed orientated and making sure everything was running smooth and on time. From coordinating the timelines and running the rehearsal. Having Lexi was a true blessing and solving last minute emergencies as I witnessed her running all over the venue to make sure things were perfect from the walk down the aisle to the cake cutting, speeches, to flowers in the proper places and even a few safety pins for the brides dress. I couldn't imagine the day without her.
Simply Weddings Las Vegas did such a wonderful job coordinating the wedding of my best friend and her husband. The wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful and everything was perfect down to all the little details. As one of the matrons of honor, I specifically loved Lexi and how attentive she was. She was always a step ahead and took care of any last minute changes or bumps we encountered. Because of her our bride was calm and able to enjoy her special night stress free.
Lexi was our Day of Coordinator. She was awesome! Very professional, responsive and accommodating. She made our day run smoothly and stress free. Would recommend for sure!
We had the pleasure of working with Cristina for our June 2019 wedding. She was just back from maternity leave and from the first time we met her, she was Totally ON IT! She was extremely helpful in our planning sessions and through email, she offered ideas and suggestions on things we didn't even know to ask. We were on a tight budget by then so when we'd tell her no she often came up with other ideas to make everything work out perfectly. She even brought some of her personal decorations for us to use. She also worked really well with the wedding planner from our venue. As far as I know, they hadn't worked together previously and Cristina was active in her positions while being respectful of 'how they do things' and definitely efficient at getting things done (which I totally appreciate!)
The real magic came on wedding day. Cristina was everywhere! She had a full suitcase and tool belt, she was calm and composed all day. I can't tell you what she saw or how many problems she intercepted but as a bride, I can tell you I was and still am so so very grateful for her presence on our big day. She is full of smiles and love, Simply Weddings Las Vegas is a great investment!
Cristina was absolutely amazing and so professional! She was responsible for providing us a 100% stress free wedding. She was on it, in all aspects! She always answer our emails promptly, listened to our concerns and recommended high quality vendors!
To me, what made a difference is her warmth approach. It's visible that she genuinely cares! She helped me so much, beyond my expectations and I doubt it that another planner would do what she did to us!
I strongly recommend Simply Wedding Las Vegas! And again, thank you so much, Cristina! You're the best!
Mariana and Curtis.
Simply Weddings consultants Christina and Gina were simply wonderful. They made my destination wedding beautiful and easy for me. They are worth the price and will work within your set budget.
Lexi was my dream day of coordinator!! She was diligent about checking in regularly to see if I had any questions. When she met with us for our month out site visit, she came prepared and asked me about all the details for the big day. She had great suggestions and her confidence made me feel at ease. She was wonderful at our rehearsal the night before, making sure everyone felt comfortable with their role at the ceremony. The day of is where is really shined!!! The moment she got on site she took charge and made sure I didn’t have to lift a finger. She coordinated with all my vendors for delivery, setup, tear down etc. If we needed anything she was there to help and it allowed us to enjoy the day to the fullest!! I can’t recommend Lexi enough, she does not disappoint!! Thank you so much Lexi for executing my vision, you’re truly the best!!
Simply Weddings Las Vegas literally took all the stress away from my wedding day as well as the time leading up to it. There were so many things in motion, I think my head may have exploded if left to put it all together by myself in the end.
Lexi made sure I did not have to worry about a thing. She read my mind on many occasions as well! All my belongings were where they should be and the whole day ran just how I imagined it. Not only was she pleasant to work with, she did an amazing job.
Shout out to Cristina as well!!
Cristina and her team were amazing! They were hired as day of coordinators for my wedding and I couldnt have done it without them. While I had a majority of vendors picked out by the time I signed a contract with them, they helped me with some last minute decisions, and helped keep my wedding day, and party organized and on schedule. I would recommend them to any bride looking for anything from a full planner to a day of coordinator. I wish I had contacted them sooner!
Christina was very responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. We opted for the basic package, which was hiring a day of coordinator, totally worth it. For the most part everything went real smooth, there was some miscommunication regarding the place cards and gifts but super minor compared to everything else that could've gone wrong. Overall we're very satisfied with how Christina handled the whole wedding.
Cristina was wonderful, she was very professional, was making sure I was ok during the whole event. Without her I wouldn’t of been able to enjoy my day!! Thanks to her I was relaxed and enjoyed very minute of it! I highly recommend her! Thank you for everything and for making my wedding day so magical!!
These ladies were prepared and took care of the groomsmen exactly like i imagined they should/would. I emailed my best man speech to them and they printed the speech on card stock and had it ready for me when the time came.
From the first day I met Cristina, a wedding planner at SimplyWeddings, I knew that she would meet all our expectations. During my first meeting with her, she went over everything and we went over expectations on what the financial costs could be (for the entire event) and the timeline of events for ensuring everything was ready for our special day. By the end of the wedding, she had not only met our expectations, but exceeded them for administrative (day-of-coordination, etc.) efforts, design & decor, financial savings, and much more.
For Cristina, weddings are not just an income, but something she is truly passionate about. She treats every wedding as if it was her own or a relative of hers. She meticulously listened to our desires and worked with a variety of vendors to ensure they were met. Any unforeseen issues that arose during planning, the ceremony, and the reception were handled accurately and expeditiously as to ensure the wedding went off without a hitch. For example, hours before the wedding, Cristina contacted me about linens not arriving on time. She contacted me not to just tell me about the problem, but to tell me that she had already found a solution that was cheaper and still met our design & decor criteria--all she needed was my approval, which of course I gave.
Weddings can be stressful; my wife and I's was no exception. Whenever Cristina could see that myself or my wife were stressed out about anything, she made every effort to calm our concerns. Our situation was particularly stressful because we were moving 3 weeks before the wedding and I was on a week-long cruise, which was planned a year in advance, 2 weeks before the wedding. Cristina made every effort to make sure every loose knot was tied up before the cruise so that I would fully enjoy the cruise and not think about the wedding. Also, she ensured all vendors were on the same page.
I can go on and on about why Cristina is an excellent wedding planner whom I now consider a friend. I wish her the best and I truly believe that she will not only meet, but exceed the expectations of any bride and groom whom hires her to plan their wedding.
Lexi was a phenomenal addition to our day-of. She handled many of the details for our wedding at JW Marriott, including coordinating our vendors, doing decoration setup, transporting our gifts, and being the point of contact for all details. We could not have done it without her. I highly recommend Lexi to anyone considering getting a day-of coordinator!
Cristina with Simply Weddings was the perfect addition to our elopement. With it being only a few of us I was unsure how a coordinator would fit in with the whole day but Cristina was there for every little bit of help I needed. Whether it was holding or fixing my dress while taking pictures, carrying a mountain of things from the bride and groom and MOH/best man or taking a video on my personal phone so I could have the vows forever. She is so sweet, chill and helpful and I’m soooo happy she was part of our special day. I would recommend her 100%.
My wedding was perfect thanks to Cristina and simply weddings! My job is very stressful and I didn't want the wedding process and the wedding day to be so stressful. Planning a wedding is difficult and I truly could not have had the wedding of my dreams without Cristina. Every vendor was recommended by her and all of them were first class and professional. All of my friends and family said they had the time of their lives, no joke, at my wedding and it is thanks to Cristina at Simply Weddings! If you hire them for your wedding not only will they walk you through the more daunting tasks of planning a wedding but they will make sure you don't worry about a thing on the actual day. When things were not what I wanted or problems arose Cristina fixed them immediately with the vendors. I'm sure I'm not the worst client they've had but I am very type A and Cristina never seemed annoyed or frustrated with me. She was always professional and a problem solver! She is truly meant to be a wedding planner. Thank you Cristina and Simply Weddings for the best day of mine and Phil's life!
Coming from northern California, we knew we needed help to plan and execute the wedding of our dreams in Las Vegas. Bottom line, Cristina and Lexi couldn't have made it any easier on us. Web meets were arranged periodically to discuss timelines and deadlines to hash out what ever needed to be done. Email exchange was super responsive, always within the same day - and we knew we could call any time if needed. We were always reassured when things were ahead of scheduled and kindly reminded when things needed to be completed from our end. From the beginning of planning and even after the wedding when decorations, envelopes, and misc. things had to be collected, everything was worked around our scheduled and to our convenience. Planning our destination wedding in Las Vegas couldn't be more simple.
Simply Weddings were above and beyond anything my husband, wedding party and I ever expected. They are simply, simply fantastic, everything from organising this from afar (We are Scottish), dealing with different requests, last minute requests - our day was absolutely amazing and went without a single issue. If there were any teething problems, they were immediately dealt with, for example - they were a calming influence when I forgot the rings! This delayed the ceremony and they had someone go back to the room quickly and have them down in no time.
They directed us through the timings, different locations we visited, organised/linked with all the catering, transport etc. Everything was absolutely seamless. They were literally on site with us from early morning until 11 at night, and their team is absolutely great, never in the way but always there to help/direct or support. Cristina who was our main planner is a really lovely woman and I would encourage any bride to work with her and Simply Weddings.
The photography was non intrusive, photographer Brit from The Love and the Light, was also really kind and funny, made everyone feel at ease and the initial proofs look absolutely amazing.
I really must say that this team, the organisation, the quality and standard of the acts they organised (we had asked for a String Quartet, Bagpiper, Magician - and WOW was he amazing - and singer for the evening event) was absolutely fabulous. All of the entertainment went down so well with our guests.It's an evening no-one will ever forget and we put a lot of that down to how things were run.
We also asked for Simply Weddings to co-ordinate all the décor, favours, hangover bags and could not have been happier. The setting/tables were beautiful, our entrance sign, the kits were fab - where do I stop?
If you are struggling to pick a planner, choose this company! You will not be disappointed, and it makes it all so much better when the individuals from the company are such nice people, on your special day.
Nothing is too much for this company and they are absolutely amazing. The costs were absolutely comparable with other quotes, and we are so glad we chose Simply Weddings.
Thank you Simply Weddings LV!! xxx (Keira & Ian - Perthshire, Scotland)
It was an absolute pleasure working with Cristina from Simply Weddings. Hiring someone to oversee the day-of coordination of my wedding reception was one of the best decisions I have ever made - hands down! Simply Weddings was able to work with me to arrange a coordination package that fit my exact budget and needs. Cristina was extremely professional and had a handle on everything that was going on at my reception. We wouldn't have been able to enjoy our reception nearly as much without her help! If you are considering using Simply Weddings for their Day-Of Coordination services, don't wait!
Cristina from Simply weddings is the best planner! I just want to thank you again for helping us have the most beautiful wedding ever. We only had 3months to prepare the wedding but you’ve helped us so much of taking out the stress and worry on us. We couldn’t thank you enough!
We are overjoyed and wanted to thank you again for being a part of it! Our whole family loves you!
I worked with Christina Gonzales for my sons wedding. I don't know what I would have done without her. She guided me in the right direction and was very quick in answering any questions I had. Christina and Simply Weddings are the best!
Any written review will not do Cristina and the Simply Wedding team justice. At the time that we hired Cristina, I was working 12-16 hour days in Pennsylvania and had absolutely no idea how I was going to find time to plan our wedding from so far away. Cristina created the perfect dream team for our wedding and helped us plan the perfect day. We showed up and everything was taken care of and we didn't have anything to worry about except for enjoying the moment. Our guests had an amazing time and said it was one of the most memorable and heartfelt weddings they've been to. She worked within our budget, steered us in the right direction and advocated for my fiancée and I. She even helped me plan a last minute surprised driving experience for my fiancée. We would have never have been able to pull this off without her. She was the most kind, patient, and responsive person with exceptional contacts and experience. We were so lucky to have such a wonderful planner on our team and she was the best investment we could have made for that day. A HUGE thank you to Cristina and the rest of the Simply Wedding team!
Simply Weddings was probably the single best decision we made with regards to our wedding planning/coordination! My wife (fiancée at the time) and I had a strict wedding budget and were determined to plan and coordinate our entire wedding ceremony & reception ourselves. While we were very successful in a lot of the pre-planning and pre-coordination, the inevitable stress associated with the day-of coordination was something that loomed over us, especially as our wedding date approached ever closer. We briefly considered assigning this task to a friend or family member, but ultimately did not want to burden anyone with such a daunting task. Approximately one month prior to our wedding, we opted to contact Simply Weddings of Las Vegas with an initial email inquiry, which was promptly answered by an email reply from Riley. After deciding to hire a Day-of Coordinator from Simply Weddings, we were immediately greeted with a friendly phone call from the Owner, Brit Bertino, who paired us with one of her Coordinators, Lexi. Thereinafter, we met with Lexi on a couple of different occasions and she always responded swiftly & enthusiastically to any of our questions, whether they be via email or text. Lexi was very professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire time. Our overall experience with Simply Weddings was nothing short of fantastic. If there’s one thing we would have done differently with regards to our wedding planning, it would have been to hire a Day-Of Coordinator from Simply Weddings much earlier in the pre-planning phase. We highly recommend their business.
Simply Weddings is a fantastic company and working with Jacquelyn and Cristina was perfection! Our day was absolutely perfect! I didn't have to worry or stress about anything day of the wedding knowing they were in charge! I highly recommend! Thank you thank you!
Cristina was absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend this company to everyone!! I planned a wedding in Las Vegas from New York, and Cristina made it all happen! During the planning process Cristina was responsive, gave extremely helpful and on point input when I asked for it, and was very patient with me. The wedding weekend was better than I ever could have imagined! During the day of (and the rehearsal) Cristina handled EVERYTHING from coordinating the guests and vendors to making sure my lipstick looked good. My day went flawlessly, and Cristina made it all look easy. I can't say enough great things about Simply Weddings!! The really were the best!!!!
Cristina was wonderful! She is very detail oriented! She will help you with everything or support you if you prefer to handle the details. We were pretty carefree with our wedding details and she was totally supportive. The day of the wedding she was everywhere helping everyone. She did a fantastic job! A gem of a resource in Las Vegas.
I was truly happy and lucky to have had Cristina helping me out with the day-of coordination for my wedding at Spring's Preserve! She showed me the way throughout a process I literally had zero knowledge about prior to starting the planning process. It was so comforting to have someone to email and double check all my planning details as I went though the months leading up to the big day. I was able to email or call her anytime to ensure I was on the right track with all my vendors and details as I went.
My only qualm would be that the wedding day did not go as seamlessly as I had envisioned it. I thought with a coordinator I would have little to nothing to worry about the day of, and there were some components which were fragmented and unorganized. Large in part, I am thinking, to my not having arrived on time, and because we had a lot of details to execute at the reception space, it felt rushed and my husband and groomsmen said they felt it would not have been as exquisite had they not been there to help. I was not present for this part of course, but the final product turned out perfect anyway!!
There were also lot of venue space changes throughout the Spring's Preserve, and 150 guests, but I felt as if people were confused as to where and when to go to certain areas. This despite my having printed and made a website to explain details myself. We were unable to do an intimate, immediate family champagne toast following the ceremony because guests who were uninvited to this component of the day were intermingled in the space when I was told this would not be an issue.
Overall, these small details did not put a damper on the day, and everything worked out in the end. It would have absolutely been much more chaotic and stressful had I not had Cristina's help!! I think if I did it again the exact same way, I would have just given more explicit instruction about what was necessary and who needed to be where/when. We had a lovely and beautiful day and I am so grateful to have had the help!!!!
Cristina was great! She definitely knows what she's doing! She always responded quickly to any questions I had and made sure we had all the essential elements covered. On the day of I didn't have to worry about a thing! She did everything from the beautiful set up at the ceremony, cocktail hour, AND reception, to carrying my extra shoes around, and rounding up my crazy family for pictures! Would definitely recommend her!
I cannot say enough good things about Simply Weddings, my coordinator Angela Dyer was a dream to work with. She had all the right answers and made sure our big day was absolutely perfect. I definitely recommend Simply Weddings if you are having a Las Vegas destination wedding or simply don't have the time to do all the little things that make a wedding easy. On the day of the wedding, Angela made sure all the vendors set up and were in place at the right time. I didn't have to worry about anything with her and the Simply Weddings team there. Kudos to Angela!
We opted for Simply Weddings' full coordination package. We only had one month to put together our wedding due to my wife being here on a fiancé visa. Brit assigned Angela as our coordinator. At no time did Angela perform less than 110% above what we expected to receive for service! It was really noticeable on the day of. Trust us, there are a thousand small details that you really can't imagine need to happen on your most important day. We saw so many little things that Angela and her crew just handled on their own such as final little décor details that weren't covered by anyone, finding our payment envelopes for the quartet and band we had hired ourselves and making sure they got paid, and even taking the uneaten portion of our cake home with her to return to us a couple days later! Also, all of the vendors she had recommended we were skeptical of at first, but on the day of, we can see why they have certain vendors they recommend. Every one of them was the utmost professional at their job, which of course made the day go perfectly and reflects on the professionalism of Brit, Angela and Simply Weddings. We could not have done it without them!
I am a busy professional who lives in Silicon Valley, CA. We wanted a resort wedding and selected The M Resort in Henderson, Nevada. I got started trying to plan the thing on my own, but it became pretty clear to me that in some areas I didn't know what I was doing. Plus I was wasting my valuable time with stops and starts and frustrations. I should have considered a wedding planner from the start, I just didn't know my way around the industry.
I reached out to several wedding planners and settled on Brit at Simply Weddings. Her prices are good (some were lower, some were higher), but I liked the fact that she has a team working for her. I think it's important to have redundant service providers in case something should happen, so I prefer to avoid sole proprietors. She was also able to help me understand some of the issues we were running into with The M (hotel reservations problems only, NOT with catering, they were wonderful).
We worked with Tori, who is on staff with Brit. Tori was excellent, ever the professional.
Their recommended vendors were spot on, they worked with me on the decor budget, I flew to Vegas for the tasting and Tori took me around town to meet the vendors. They prepared detailed production timelines and Tori worked with me on all of my many changes. She went above and beyond the call of duty so many times, and was extremely gracious about all the places where our event was a bit outside of tradition (I did almost NO floral, all feather bouquets, plus we had bridesmen and a groomswoman so the wedding party wasn't balanced and we were far more interested in chocolate covered macaroons than cake, though we did have a small cake, etc.).
Still, being that I've planned so many events (I used to work in corporate marketing for a multi-national) it still felt like event planning to me.
It is impossible to describe how the thing that came together in the end was far, far greater than the sum of its parts. Each and every detail that we carefully planned came to fruition in front of our friends and family in a glorious and perfect way. As the bride, I was taken care of on the day of the wedding from start to finish. My experience, though, was of sheer perfection. Tori was there from before it began nearly until the last guest left.
My family and friends have consistently commented, “…best wedding ever!” “…I’ve never seen you so happy.” “Truly an evening to remember.” “No detail was left out.” My primary commitment was to be a gracious host and people really got it!
Tori even made sure that our photobooth album was in our room waiting for us when we returned that night. I'm in love with my hubby, I'm in love with my memories of our wedding... what more could a bride ask for??
Definitely call Brit. It is money WELL spent!
Brit and Tori were my dream planners come true. Though my fiance and I had been engaged for 6 months, we only started the actual planning phase 6 months before our wedding date! At the time, we lived in LA so we took two separate trips to Las Vegas to find the venue, but to no avail.
I came across Brit through a google search and initially, only wanted help finding the venue. However, on our first meeting with Brit and Tori (but THIRD trip to Vegas) we were able to find a venue, a photographer, make up artist and an appointment with the florist. Easily, we saved over $6K working with them, as they have amazing vendor relationships and can work with any budget. Not only do they work with the best professionals in the business, both Brit and Tori are professional, knowledgeable, flexible and most of all, organized.
Our day was truly magical and exactly what I wanted. My husband I already want to hire them for an anniversary party!!
All I have to say is THANK YOU LORI! You really took great care of my husband and I at the M Resort. Everything I asked for, you took care of it. I was so fortunate that you were there for me. It was so nice to have you there after the wedding was over to put centerpieces and things in my room for me. Lori is AWESOME!
Our venue required that we have a day-of wedding coordinator. This wasn't something we had planned for, as I do event planning at work and wasn't daunted by the idea of planning a wedding. I am so grateful that this was something we had to do! It really helped the day run more smoothly, and kept the pressure off of me and kept everyone on track. It was well within our budget and totally worth it!
I hired Brit and her team to plan our Las Vegas wedding. In a word, they were amazing! My husband and I couldn't have been happier. They are extremely professional and always kept our vision a priority. With us being from Montreal, I didn't know how the planning would be, but Brit really made it easy, she was very quick with email replies and always willing to discuss any of my concerns by phone. Between the vendors Brit recommended, to her sewing an unforeseen tear in my dress between the ceremony and reception, I knew I was in good hands. I can't thank Simply Weddings enough, Brit recommended having a cigar roller on site during the reception, it was a fantastic idea. Our guests are still talking about it! Thanks again Brit!
