Sam Vande Voort
Owner
Welcome! I’m so glad that you’re here! My name is Sam and I am as passionate about love and weddings as I am about spending time with family and friends, a comfy pair of pjs, and exploring all that the world has to offer through travel. My husband, Porter, and I got married in summer of 2022. After planning my own wedding, my passion for planning exploded. I am a firm believer in love and the idea that everybody should get the day they deserve to share it with their family and friends. My goal is to give you the same calm, stress-free, excited feeling that I felt on my own wedding day.

Sam was amazing. From the first interaction to the day of the wedding, Sam was personable, friendly, and VERY helpful. She made our event beautiful. If I were to do it over, I would only change the fact that I would have Sam involved from the beginning. I was very blessed to have Sam there on our amazing day!

Sam thank you for everything- you took such a huge weight off my shoulders! I feel like I didn’t have to worry about any of my other vendors or any of my decor, I cannot believe you unpacked and handled all my bins, boxes, and DIYs so perfectly (it was a ridiculous amount to handle alone). You are so calm and put me at ease, I hope you can be my day of coordinator for every other event in my life! I appreciate you more than I can say!

Words cannot begin to explain how absolutely incredible Sam is! It was a pleasure to work with her every step of the way given her warmth and professionalism and her care and dedication to our wedding vision was unparalleled. Her attention to detail along with her support throughout the planning process was truly a godsend. Having her availability for scheduled check-ins helped keep us on track and made sure we accomplished everything on time. Additionally, each of our other vendors requested her contact information at the end of the reception for future events because they thought she was such a pleasure to work with. We strongly recommend her services for anyone planning an event as we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.

We hired Sam as our day of coordinator for our wedding on Saturday. She even came to our rehearsal to make sure the bridal party knew exactly what to do and expect on the day of the wedding. She was amazing and helped out with every little detail. Having her as our day of coordinator was the best decision we ever made. Thank you SO much Sam, we will forever be grateful for your time & effort on our special day.

BEST DECISION EVER!! Sam went above and beyond our expectations and it was the best money ever spent! She truly cares about her clients and words can’t describe how grateful we are for her. Continuous check ins throughout the process, answering all questions, full support on wedding day (my mother was able to actually enjoy the day and she was so grateful we had Sam). I didn’t have to worry about anything on wedding day because Sam took all the stress away. You will not regret hiring her!

Sam was absolutely top-notch as a wedding planner. She was very helpful and walked us through every step of the way; Especially when we were in a different state from where she lived and the venue location. She kept an open communication between us and answered any questions we had along the way. There is no doubt in our minds that she knew what she was doing during all steps regarding the planning process. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in search for a wedding planner to plan their momentous event!

I can't express how amazing Sam was as our day of coordinator. She was so helpful, even in the months leading up to our wedding and especially helpful for the day of. She made the day go by flawlessly and was always there and ready to jump in whenever/wherever she was needed. We could not have done it without her. I would recommend Sam in a heartbeat to anyone out there who is looking for an amazing coordinator.

Sam made my day such a breeze. Any concern I had, any issue that popped up, she handled. I could not imagine our wedding day without her! She is extremely personable, organized, easy to work with, and all around wonderful at what she does. I did not feel energized the wedding planning process and she made the coordination of the day just so easy for us, we hardly had to think about it. We just showed up and we were able to enjoy the day. There aren’t enough good things I could say about her, and I would recommend working with her to anyone!

Sam was amazing to work with in every way! She kept us moving in the right direction as far as what should happen, and the time frames that would work best. She helped us keep track of the budget we were working with, and helped us save money with her helpful suggestions. It was great to have someone experienced in our area’s wedding markets helping us gauge what others in our area are currently using and doing for their weddings. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful she was on the wedding day itself! She helped set up decorations clean up and worked with our vendors so I could enjoy my daughter’s wedding day. I highly recommend hiring Simply Yours Events for any event!

Our wedding was my wife’s and I fairytale come true, thanks to Simply yours events. From day one, Samantha’s professionalism, creativity, and passion for perfection shone through.

Samantha’s organizational skills are unparalleled. She coordinated seamlessly with vendors, managed timelines perfectly, and handled everything with grace, allowing us to enjoy our ceremony and reception absolutely stress free.
On our wedding day, Samantha ensured everything ran smoothly. Her calm presence and attention to detail left us and our guests in awe.

I would give Sam 10 stars out of 5 if I could!!!! She went above and beyond in so many ways and was SO helpful as our day-of coordinator. She made sure we didn't feel stressed about anything and helped calm me down when I needed it from putting a ton of pressure on myself. So sweet, so easy to work with, great communication, very helpful and friendly and professional. She knows the wedding business and knows how to help everything run smoothly from start to finish. If you're looking for a sign, here it is. Hire her!!!

Samantha was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was so organized, sweet, patient, and incredibly helpful. She was the ultimate chaos coordinator and did everything to keep things running smoothly and on time. Our wedding was beautiful and problem free and she is the reason it went so smoothly. We had previously planned a destination wedding out of the country and had to cancel it, and then scramble to plan a stateside wedding. Sam answered my 10 thousand questions with kindness, patience, and sincerity. She coordinated vendors, made sure the wedding party was where they needed to be, set up the decorations, made sure our rings were stored safely, and even helped me find last minute eyelash glue for a pre- aisle walk mishap. This woman is truly an absolute godsend. She is so knowledgeable and I just cannot say enough nice things about here. 1 million / 10 would recommend.

Sam was so wonderful from the day first started talking on the phone to the day of our wedding and even after. The attention to detail was simply amazing from Sam. She was extremely dedicated to my husband and I and making sure she knew what we needed and even went above and beyond. Sam was just so in top of things we didn’t even think of. She helped with our vendors and making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be when they needed to be. Ran our bags to our hotel day of the wedding. Helped us set decor the day before and day of and take down after. I truly cannot say enough about how incredibly grateful I am to have had Sam helping us with our wedding planning. We could not have done it without her!! Thank you so much Sam!! We 1000% highly recommend Sam to help you!!

Samantha was so amazing with helping us plan, think of things we had missed, and execute everything on the day of. We had multiple video conferences as we were not located close enough for in person, Sam was extremely flexible with our busy lives. She helped my wife feel extremely confident going into our wedding day (which made my life much easier). Rehearsal was very organized, and the wedding day went extremely smooth thanks to Sam keeping on top of everything and fixing issues before we even knew about them! I can not give her a higher rating. I wish I could give her a 10 star!

Working with Sam was a dream come true. We live in the Twin Cities and planned a destination wedding in Door County, Sam was with us every step of the way. She is very organized, supportive and most importantly one of the kindest women I've ever met. She was so helpful in finding and communicating with vendors. Sam helped us navigate all the details of wedding planning with joy and ease. She was always available when I needed something and was always there to remind me everything will be okay! I don't even have the words to describe how helpful Sam was, we couldn't have done it without her!!

Sam was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the very first contact I knew she had our best interest in mind. She was extremely organized, yet flexible. We originally were going to have family set up our venue, but hiring Sam was the best decision we made. Her goal was to take the stress off of us, and she did that and more! She is so thoughtful and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. And it's affordable. We couldn't recommend her enough!! If you are considering hiring someone, Sam is your girl!

We absolutely loved having Sam as our Day of Coordinator! From the very first meeting it was clear that she genuinely cared about us as a couple and wanted to make our day as special as possible. If you are debating on hiring a day of coordinator, do it. Sam went above and beyond for us, checking into every detail and making sure our day ran smoothly. She was so easy to work with and took care of so much on our big day that would have either fallen on us or our family. Instead, we all got to enjoy the day without worrying about the schedule or details.
