Best money we spent on our wedding, hands down! Shannon made everything run so smoothly. It was such a relief to have her team to lean on to make our day so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
SimplyWeddings (Shannon) orchestrated our dream wedding like a dream!
For context, we had interviewed a few other services prior to contracting SimplyWeddings. By far, SimplyWeddings easily surpassed the competition in quality and price for their Month-Of Coordination Service package. Since we did the Month-Of Coordination Service, we came into this with our other vendors pre-identified and contracted, in part because we had personal connections. If we hadn’t been in this position, we would have gone with their Full Wedding Planning Package given our event size (250+ guests).
From the moment we contacted SimplyWeddings, we knew we were in good hands. We worked principally with Shannon, who took the time to listen to our vision and preferences when we first met. We immediately felt that she understood our vision and needs. The inclusion of the interactive electronic floor plan system was invaluable for our planning, and ultimately, the brilliant execution of our vision on the Big Day. Shannon was also vital in directing and coordinating vendors in the month leading up to the wedding. It was a life savor to have someone who could speak ‘vendor-to-vendor’ and could navigate the industry nuances that would have escaped our notice. It avoided several instances of potential miscommunication (of our own potential making).
What truly set SimplyWeddings apart was their ability to handle any challenges that arose with grace and efficiency, leading up to and during the Big Day. Shannon and her team were unparalleled in professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized approach. They were always one step ahead, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the big day. Their ability to direct vendors and guests like air traffic control was beyond impressive.
Our wedding was absolutely magical, and we have SimplyWeddings to thank for that. We received countless compliments from our guests for how smooth and seamless the event was, all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the SimplyWeddings team.
If you're looking for a wedding planning service that will exceed your expectations and make your special day truly unforgettable, look no further than SimplyWeddings. They are the epitome of excellence in the industry, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Thank you, SimplyWeddings, for making our wedding dreams come true!
We hired Shannon and her team about a year ago for my daughter’s wedding which took place three days ago on June 11. We decided to go with the day of/month of package. I HIGHLY recommend Simply Weddings. We were unsure we wanted to spend extra money on a wedding planner. But, after my son’s wedding a year ago, I knew I needed to find someone to take care of all of the details so my husband and I could enjoy the day with our daughter. For both my kids’ weddings the venue had ‘wedding coordinators’ which were great. However Shannon took care of all of our personal decorations from setting up, tearing down, boxing up, and loading them in our cars at the end of the night. She was available to answer all of our questions and make recommendations over the past year. She was available the month of to coordinate all the details, communicate with our vendors we hired and created a timeline with all of the details and made sure all the vendors had the information too. She provided us with checklists and was at the rehearsal and made sure everything was organized and went smooth. She and her team were so professional. This was one of the best decisions we made going with Simply Weddings and Shannon!!
Shannon and her team were truly amazing! We had them for our day of coordinator, but they went above and beyond that. We met multiples times to discuss what we envisioned for our day. Shannon and her team made the day absolutely perfect! They allowed us to truly enjoy our day and to celebrate. They responded promptly whenever we had a question or concerned. If they didn’t know the answer, they made sure they found it! They went above and beyond our expectations and I cannot recommend them enough!
I cannot express how fantastic it was working with Shannon and the Simply Weddings Team. We had her as our day-of coordinator and she was so much more than that. She was super helpful in the planning process, was very responsive to emails, gave great recommendations for vendors and advice in general, and is over all just a very sweet human being who wants to make your special day the best ever. She made our big day go so smoothly and took all the stress away. It is because of her and her team that I can say I had very little worries on my wedding day. I highly recommend her and her team.
We had an excellent experience with Simply Weddings, LLC, and would enthusiastically recommend them for your wedding! Jonathan officiated our New Year's Eve wedding and we had a wonderful experience. He was flexible and responsive to our needs and did an excellent job of coordinating all of our family and friends during the rehearsal, as well as the day of the wedding. He was proactive in helping shape and develop our ceremony and we felt respected and listened to as we made adjustments to the ceremony together. We thank Jonathan for making our wedding day so special!
I wish I could tell all the future brides out there to hire Shannon! Ahh I know these review things all say the same thing, but Shannon from Simply Weddings CAN NOT BE BEAT! When you enter into this wedding planning process there are bound to be bumps in the road. It is just life! Vendors can be difficult for a variety of reasons and having someone who is in the business have your back is a lifesaver. Shannon was there when my invitations all got messed up, when my engagement ring exploded (yes it shattered into pieces, totally not making this up!), when my dad got sick the week before our wedding--- through all of these things Shannon helped me navigate, fix problems and make sure the day could still happen. She allowed me to focus on the things that really mattered (like being with my dad in the hospital, I seriously didn't need to lift a finger the last 2 weeks before our wedding) because she was there to tackle all those little things that come up. The day of the wedding she made sure everything was perfect so that I could just have fun. Also very important to know-- you will be talking to your planner A LOT through the process, so make sure you hire someone you like to talk to. Shannon is like a really good friend, she has grown into a friend as the months went on. Having trust in your planner allows you to relax and not miss a moment. Because the day will flash by (kind of like skydiving, you jump out of the plane and before you know it you are on the ground!) but you will remember how people made you feel. I'll always remember Shannon making us feel cared for-- it is obvious she cares deeply about each of her couples. Hire her, you won't regret it, I promise! :D
I cannot recommend Shannon and her team at Simply Weddings enough, Shannon is incredible to work with! She went above and beyond to help us plan our dream wedding; she is professional, friendly, responsive, and very organized. She was consistently available at all times via phone, text, in person, and email to coordinate all aspects of our wedding as well as answer my many many questions, no matter how minor of details my questions were about. We chose the full planning package and it was worth every penny spent due to Shannon’s meticulous preparation, planning, and execution of our wedding day.
My husband and I really wanted us as well as our families to be able to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything. Shannon and her team made this possible, they took care of every detail so we could all enjoy the day. Shannon was the contact person for all of our vendors and anyone involved in preparing our rehearsal, church, transportation, and reception the day of our wedding. She had an organized and user-friendly floor plan app that helped us organize a detailed seating chart for our large guest list of 400 people, and she also took care of securing our gifts and cards in a safe place for us after the reception. Shannon also donated our floral arrangements to a local assisted living facility that we chose, that was a very lovely touch and we were so happy that others could enjoy our flowers as much as we did! These things are just scratching the surface of how essential Shannon and her team were in helping us turn our dream wedding into a real-life fairytale! Shannon was an absolute pleasure to work with and she is a wonderful person! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner I would say 110% that hiring Shannon will be the best decision you make to help your dream wedding become a reality!
Shannon and her team were worth far more than we paid them. My wife and I debated if we needed to hire a day-of-coordinator, and I can't imagine not having done so. Shannon did so much more than we expected -- in addition to creating a detailed day-of timeline and making sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day, she was super helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She alerted us to issues she saw within our contracts, she proactively introduced herself to our vendors and got key details from them, and she offered invaluable advice when we were struggling with decisions (because, you know, we’d never planned a wedding before). She told us at our rehearsal that it was time for us to stop planning and stressing and to just enjoy the events -- that she would take it from there -- and she made good on that many times over.
Working with Shannon planning our wedding was absolutely fantastic. We hired her for the day-of-coordinating, but she really went above and beyond our expectations throughout the planning process. Shannon gave great ideas both creatively and logistically, and helped us bring our vision to life. I swear she always knew when I needed to ask a question and answered it before I could even ask it! The other vendors I used were impressed with her punctuality and ability to multitask as well. On the day of she was very helpful but really blended in to the crowd, very helpful in photos. The best part: Shannon helped line up a donation site for the leftover flowers at the location of my choosing. It's so sad to see your flowers go to waste but with her help we knew they were going to a good cause! Highly recommend Shannon and her team to assist with planning and organizing your wedding.
I wish this scale went up to 10 starts because Simply Weddings was that fantastic. Hiring Shannon and the Simply Weddings team was THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. Shannon was with us every step of the way, completely saw our vision and made it a reality day of. My husband and I were able to enjoy the weekend and had complete trust and faith in Shannon to handle all of the (many!) moving pieces we had going on.
If you're debating what to do right now, stop reading this post and hire Simply Weddings immediately.
Shannon was absolutely incredible to work with. We had initially believed that our 25-person wedding (including us!) and found ourselves overwhelming with coordinating execution of our plan. Shannon jumped in and made sure our vendors knew what, when, and where, and so did we.
She was a lovely part of our day, and we heartily recommend engaging her at whatever level she can - we'd love to have involved her earlier!
Not only was she an organizational wonder woman, she was incredibly kind, sweet, and helpful.
Shannon was phenomenal from start to finish! We could not have asked for a better coordinator. Shannon has a great energy for what she does. She is spectacularly organized, prompt and a great communicator-especially since we were planning our wedding from a distance. She went out of her way to make personal trips and calls to our vendors to ensure our vision was executed. We felt very much at ease that everything was handled and had no stress on our big day. Shannon also helped seamlessly navigate the only hiccup of the day when our trolley broke down. We highly recommend Shannon and Jonathan. They are extremely professional and will make your day amazing!
Jonathan and Shannon Triggs from Simply Weddings helped to create our dream wedding! Jonathan created a beautiful and memorable ceremony for my husband and I. Jonathan not only took the time to know us, but he also provided us with four premarital counseling sessions. The counseling sessions were fun, knowledgable, and very helpful to our relationship. Our guests absolutely loved our wedding ceremony as much as we did. Shannon did an amazing job helping us coordinate the details of our wedding with our wedding vendors, keep track of contracts, created an overall wedding timeline and a timeline for our wedding party, helped with set up and tear down of the event, decorated the event with all of our decorations. Shannon was very organized and detail oriented, and did a great job helping us create our dream wedding! Jonathan and Shannon are very professional and great to work with! We cannot thank them enough for their help and support throughout the wedding planning process, rehearsal, and wedding day! We would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!
Words can't adequately express just how fantastic both Shannon and Jonathan were to work with when planning our August 2016 wedding. This dynamic duo really is a one-stop shop when it comes to ensuring your big day goes off without a hitch - and it's all done with an incredible kindness, personal attention, and an affordability that is hard to come by in the industry. No detail is too small and no task is too complicated for them to tackle. From their rapid responses to their helpful suggestions and creativity - Shannon and Jonathan were the epitome of "going above and beyond" in order to get the job done. Whether you're just looking for someone to be there on the day of the wedding or someone who can assist you from point A to Z, these two provide absolute peace of mind for any couple planning their nuptials. We were incredibly lucky to have found Simply Weddings and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Simply Weddings was such a delight to work with. They exhibited the highest level of professionalism anyone could ask for, they listened to our desires and made them come to life even more than expected, but most of all I appreciated their patience and flexibility. The officiant had a great traditional/modern mix to his deliverance that made everyone in attendance feel comfortable, which was also most appreciated. When the time comes for my husband and I to renew our vows, we will most assuredly be utilizing the services of Simply Weddings.
My husband and I are INCREDIBLY grateful to have found and worked with Jonathan and Shannon Triggs of Simply Weddings, LLC. We originally signed on Jonathan to be our officiant and later signed on Shannon to be our wedding coordinator. Jonathan and Shannon are a great team and really went above and beyond what was expected. Jonathan listened intently to our requests and created a wedding ceremony that was personal and intimate to us as a couple. Jonathan also led several counseling sessions that were realistic and useful. Shannon’s dedicated work with our vendors ensured we had everything necessary to maintain the perfect wedding. Shannon also organized and executed all wedding day events without a hitch. Both Jonathan and Shannon added personal touches along the way that we will remember forever! My husband and I strongly recommend Jonathan and Shannon Triggs of Simply Weddings, LLC for your wedding.
