Simply You Weddings

any years, I have always been very impressed with how well-organized they are. This time around I was the groom and couldn't have been more appreciative of their craft. On the planning side of things, they provided an incredible amount of insight on how to properly execute our vision, sharing suggestions that I never would have thought of. Julie and Desi were in constant communication with all of our vendors, allowing my wife and I to focus on personal items that we needed tackle. When it came down to the wedding day, they executed everything with kindness and intention. Our wedding was pretty involved (to say the least) and they gave my wife and I all the assurance we needed to stay focused on having a great time with our family and friends. Their professionalism was invaluable. Julie and Desi, thank you so much for everything you did to help us put together a wonderful night! To all of you future couples reading this: Just wait until you see how detailed their timelines are. You're going to be like, whoa, these ladies really know what they're doing! And then you're going to fold your arms, lean back, and be like, "I definitely picked the right person for the job 😎"

h small surprises for my wife. She went above and beyond to receive packages at her home and check in with the post office for me. She is congenial, personable and responsive. She will do whatever is in her power to make your dream wedding and vision come to life. Her suggestions were also always on point. She was worth every penny we paid and more. Hire Kayla for your wedding!

ng was stress free and even fun. (Which I needed!!) ;). She orchestrated our vendors, the location, and honestly, I think she may have also controlled the weather. She is that good ! My guests were sneaking away just to thank her and spend time with her, that is just how amazing of a human she is. She nailed it. We cannot thank her enough. Everyone that came STILL cannot stop talking about what an amazing job she did. THANK YOU ERIC AND SIMPLY YOU!

d I was extremely hesitant to hand over control to my big day to someone else, but I'm SO glad I did! I did all of the planning I wanted to up front and then Desi stepped in the month of to make sure I had everything covered and execute my vision! She was phenomenal. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I didn't hear about it. But, I don't think anything went wrong because Desi thought of it all beforehand! I was so thankful to have her there for our rehearsal and throughout our wedding day. She went above and beyond during our stay in Key West for our wedding weekend and was so easy to communicate with - even when our cake vendor tried to cancel on us 5 days before our wedding! Highly recommend SY and Desiree.

etail, honesty, and great taste are just a few attributes I would use to describe their work. We could not have done this without their support. 10/10 would recommend!!!

e since I was an out of state bride. Planning a destination wedding isn't easy but Desiree took all my worries away. If you're looking for a great planning company I highly suggest these wonderful ladies!!

package, which actually starts 30 days before the wedding. That turned out to be a great thing for us because we unexpectedly moved to Canada a few months before the wedding. I was so stressed before the wedding because we’d moved to a new country, I was trying to finish up end of semester course work, and I was at a conference the week before the wedding. But that’s where Jess stepped in. She took over everything and coordinated with the vendors, made sure we had everything done we needed to, and reassured me the entire time that everything was OK. She even set up appointments for us with Steam Queen and handled the cake when the baker said she couldn’t make the design we wanted. She made us a very thorough timeline, which I really appreciated. The day before the wedding, she made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. The day of the wedding, she kept everyone on schedule and things went perfectly. Not only was Jess 110% on top of everything but she is also just a nice person and enjoyable to be around. We liked her, my parents liked her, even my grandparents liked her. She did a fantastic job and is absolutely someone we would recommend to help with your wedding.

dream come true for a destination wedding. You know you hit the jack pot when another vendor says you have the "vendor dream team" and your wedding planner is the one who made it all happen. There isn't enough thank you's in the world that could repay her for the amazing day she created for us. I never once had to worry or stress if something was taken care of and that to me was worth every penny. Jenn & Simply You, Thank you a million.

we got back from our honeymoon, I heard from my bridesmaids that she was "hustling". People got loss and she went to the streets, our reception started an hour late (one of those bumps) and she got the venue to extend an extra 30 minutes. I was very organized before I handed it all to her, and helped me with tiny details days before like boutineers and cake.

package. We had a long phone call about 30 days out to fill her in on all of the details. She is very good at what she does and made some great suggestions and thought of some thing that we had not thought of before talking to her. She made the day of run seamlessly and kept us all on schedule. Would highly recommend Simply You!

I planned our destination wedding in Key West from Cleveland - and we were very nervous about forgetting to book key vendors, overlooking details, etc. From the first email I sent to Desiree, she put me at ease. Not only is Desiree overwhelmingly organized and professional, she is one of the warmest and nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Desiree meticulously went over every single detail of my wedding with me and caught many things that I had overlooked. If I had a question or concern, Desiree responded to my emails and texts quickly and professionally. Desiree also made us a beautiful itinerary and "to-do" lists that made my life and the planning process so much easier. Desiree created beautiful "welcome" bags for our wedding, and facilitated and organized the many decorations and personal items we had shipped to her office. The actual day of our wedding went off without a hitch thanks largely to her organization and coordination with our other vendors. I had several friends and family members comment on her kind, welcoming demeanor during the event. THANK YOU SO MUCH Desiree and the team at Simply You Weddings for making my dream wedding a reality!

Jenn over the phone she was an absolute life saver. I really cannot explain how thankful we were to have had her. She went so up above and beyond her ‘day of wedding’ duties. She provided invaluable help for weeks before the wedding, reminded us of important things to think about – many of which we never even considered. We felt so prepared and taken care of. Jenn listened to every detail we wanted to execute, no matter how crazy and she was super helpful in helping us achieve our vision. Jenn communicated everything effortlessly with our vendors and made everything so much easier for us. On the day of the wedding Jenn was literally superwoman, we are positive that our wedding would have been 1 million times more chaotic without her. She was on the ball with absolutely everything, things we spoke about weeks before that I had forgotten, things that you do not want to think about on your wedding day! Like how it’s a windy day and the paper place-cards are going to fly away without sand to wedge them in, or surveying the excitement levels and telling you it’s a good time to do a speech or a daddy daughter dance. She always asked us first, I remember her coming up to me at the time we said we wanted to do the cake and the dance floor was packed and she said… It is totally up to you but you guys look like you are having the best time and she was absolutely right. We are so happy we didn’t stop the party. Bottom line is, weddings are stressful and after the ceremony all we wanted to do was chill and let loose and that is all I had to do with Jenn around. Trust me having a planner is worth every penny and Jenn Perez from Simply You is the woman to ask for!

de sure that we had time to get something eat during the reception which was fabulous. She was there to help guests set up events in the keys to make the most of their trips. I would definitely recommend Simply You's full-service to absolutely anyone getting married in Key West.

d to worry. They made this process so seamless and so fun for us that we joke about doing it all over again next year! Not only did we feel that we got all of the absolute best vendors and service on the island but when it came down to the days of our Rehearsal and Wedding, it was flawless! By the end of our planning, we truly felt we gained not just the most amazing memories but also a friend. We would highly recommend Simply You over and over to anyone looking to get married in the Keys, you won't be disappointed!

re in way over our heads. Choosing to use the full service planning was the greatest decision we could've made. Nicole made the entire process and day of seamless. Having to scramble for a new venue thanks to the hurricane would have been terrifying, but thanks to Nicole we were able to find a venue that ended up making our wedding even more beautiful and perfect than initially thought. I now tell anyone who is planning a wedding that I 100% recommend a planner, all because Nicole was absolutely phenomenal!

thing was perfect. Not one detail was overlooked. Our wedding day was completely stress-free and everything looked absolutely beautiful. From the very first phone call, Julie made us feel 100% comfortable. She never pushed anything, always took the time to understand our wishes, gave precious advice, and was always very responsive and helpful. The vendors that she recommended were all 5-star, amazing, professional, and wonderful to work with. She helped us figure out ways to offer our guests the incredible Key West experience that we wanted for them (for example, on her recommendation and because we didn't want to be too traditional, we chose to do a Sunset Cruise instead of a rehearsal dinner and that was INCREDIBLE!!) and she planned the best party at Audubon House--the decor was breathtakingly beautiful, the food out of this world, and our guests enjoyed rum and cigar tastings as well as an awesome photo booth. It's hard to find words to express how amazing Julie and her team are. Hire them, you won't regret it. Our wedding day was the happiest, most amazing day of our lives. Simply said, it was "simply us" and that was really the best part about it. We will forever cherish memories of our wedding day and be grateful to Julie and Desi!

g a destination wedding. My family adored her and everything went off without a hitch. If you want a fabulous wedding in Key West, call Jenn!

id a destination wedding and Erica made it so easy and stress free (and we had to deal with the aftermath of Irma who messed up our venue). Erica was joy to work with; she helped set up steam cleaning for our tuxes, mani/pedis, restaurants, everything. She even gave us a quick tour of Key West showing us the highlights to help us get our bearings. I don't think we could have done any better and I would recommend Simply You Weddings (especially Erica) to anyone.

ior to a trip down to Key West. They were like night and day. The first planning service felt like a cookie-cutter experience even down to standard, impersonal emails and lack of note-taking. Erica with Simply You was completely the opposite. She went over and above to provide wonderful tips/advice for KW before we even met/hired her. She came to our consultation armed with notes from our email exchanges and contacting our ceremony site to learn more of our vision. She was professional, friendly, and kind throughout. She ran our welcome party, rehearsal, ceremony, reception. Erica was one of many who had the misfortune of notifying brides that our picture-perfect receptions site, Ocean Key Sunset Pier, was unavailable due to Hurricane Irma. Again, she stepped up prepared to make those calls, armed with back up plans at the ready. We were able to stay onsite as planned. Erica was a huge part of contacting all our vendors to rework whatever was needed. We chose the package (I forgot the name) where we had a consult, unlimited emails and exchanges one month leading up to the weekend, and full service weekend of wedding. The Irma chaos was outside that window. She went over and above even though it wasn't in our original agreement - all while she and the other vendors were trying to rebuild their own lives. I was busy dancing the night away during the reception. My groom spoke highly of how well she ran the events of the reception and dealt with the, um, personalities of our family/guests, keeping everything on time. Both mothers spoke highly of how quickly, organized she was ensuring personal items were returned in full to the correct person following the reception. She provided excellent communication/timelines prior to the weekend. I can't recommend her enough. She felt like a friend.

absolute best!

re wedding planning process and attentive to every detail. She made the rehearsal and wedding day run smoothly and kept everyone at ease. I highly recommend Jenn Perez and Simply You for any event planning services. They were truly a pleasure to work with and go above and beyond what is expected.

vendors per her advice. She helped us through every step throughout our planning! She went out of her way to address any issues that arose. That weekend she attended all of our events to help coordinate. Our wedding day went seamless. She coordinated everything with our vendors so we could focus on enjoying the day! Our wedding was stress free and so much fun just as we had hoped. All of guests said this was the best wedding they have attended! None of this would have happened without Julie! I would highly recommend Simply You for your destination wedding planners!

ion wedding that had to be planned in only couple months. She will be with you at the meetings to ensure you are clear and happy, and to make everything goes as a smooth as possible, make sure you are organized and follow her instructions, also make sure to send the copies of the list of pictures to her and to the photographer so everyone is at the same page. Jen will also help you with the very last minute details like the old car for the bride (insert heart), and watch your back until your wedding is over! Thank you Jennifer!!!

was amazing. I live here locally, so I had met with her a few times before the wedding. She went over every detail with me of the wedding numerous times-from the schedule to the decor. I had a lot of DIY as well as personal decor & she allowed me to leave it at her office ahead of time. The day of the wedding, we had plans for a 1st look at our resort, then a trolley to take us to Ft. Zach for wedding party photos, & then to our venue. Our friends can be bit unscheduled, so I knew that keeping everyone on a schedule could prove to be quite difficult. Jenn arrived right after hair & makeup was done, checked in on my bridesmaids & myself. She even went to the groomsmen's room to tie their bowties! When I arrived to the venue, she set up my decor EXACTLY how I had envisioned. She kept everyone on time for everything. Jenn was amazing. I couldn't have made it through that day without her!

and that is exactly what I got! Nicole handled details that I wouldn't have even thought about. She helped me pick all of my vendors and most I got a discount because of her. When people walked into my wedding the said 'This is so you'. She knew my style just from talking on the phone and emailing with me. I truly can not say enough great things about Nicole. Hiring a planner and hiring Nicole especially was the best decision I could have made!

knowing that I couldn’t plan a destination wedding without one. With a specific vision, Nicole helped us make many of the key decisions months out. From choosing the right vendors that fit within our price point, to guiding us in directions we didn’t know were possible (hello cupcake sushi!) – she truly helped ease our nerves of having a destination wedding somewhere we hadn’t even been until a few months before. I could not have managed the stress of a wedding – and lots of opinions - without her advice along the way. She was on top of things yet relaxed and confident that everything would go perfectly. Which it did!! Whether it was getting our welcome bags put together and dropped off based on daily arrivals of each guest and multiple locations across the key or ensuring we had a pineapple for our “ring” shot the day of – she helped pull through every detail that was so very important to us. She helped concept our private sunset sail as our welcome party that everyone is still raving about. What’s most amazing is she never forgot who her priority was – the bride and groom! Where I was most impressed was on the day of. It took so much of the typical stress off of us, our friends, family and wedding party who traveled so far to celebrate with us. Nicole was there every step of the way reminding us how to hold the bouquet, when to walk down the aisle, and where to go next. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves. Our friends and family are still raving about our wedding weeks later. The whole weekend friends kept coming up to us thanking us for inviting them to such a special wedding! Many have asked us to get married again next year…… ha! Our wedding was the most amazing day of our lives thanks to Nicole and we wouldn’t have changed one thing. The day goes by so fast and you don’t want to get bogged down in the details. I do not know how people get by without wedding planners – trust me when I say that it will be the best money you spend. Thank you again Nicole!!!

. Jenn is truly everything and I highly recommend her! BEST EVER.

Nicole Yancey from Simply you Weddings in Key West made ALL of their dreams come true. She listened to them and heard them. She found sources for their vision and arranged for their delivery. She had great recommendations for every aspect of our wedding weekend-- from accommodations, caterers, florists,wedding dress steamers, babysitters.... Every recommendation was perfect and many we would never have thought of ourselves. She kept us organized, especially in the month prior to the wedding. The weekend of the wedding she worked tirelessly. She even took me to Public for a massive pre weekend shopping spree (for the goody bags and food and drink needed outside of the events). The day of the wedding I could be entirely relaxed. Nicole took care of EVERYTHING. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole! You can not find a better wedding planner!
