Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Our mission is to help you celebrate your love in a way that you love, without stress or overwhelm. After more than a decade in the business, and with 4,500+ weddings under our collective belt, we have become the go-to wedding planning team for couples looking for a stress-free planning experience + a joyful wedding day.
When we founded The Simply Elegant Group in 2010, the biggest hesitation that couples had in hiring a wedding planner was cost, but we believe that everyone deserves to have a wedding planner by their side regardless of their budget. So we created the solution. And that's our Preferred Vendor Program (PVP). Within our PVP, not only do we vet our vendors (for doing good work + being good humans) but we ask that, in return, our vendors give something special just to our SEG couples.
That special incentive could be in the form of a discount, a percentage off, an upgrade, or a free add on. So not only are we some of the most knowledgeable planners in the country, but we also save you money. And that means: we want to save you more money than you spend on our services. (Win-Win!)

Hiring The Simply Elegant Group was one of the best decisions that we made for planning our wedding and for our wedding day! We worked with Hanh and she was phenomenal! We started ...
working with Hanh a little over 1 year before the wedding and she helped us with every step of the planning process. She was very easy to communicate with and was very timely in her responses. I really appreciated how much stress she took off of my shoulders throughout the process and I am so grateful for that. She helped me curate vendors while sticking to our budget, and coordinated all of their information and correspondence very efficiently. The wedding day went so smoothly having Hanh and her assistant there to manage everything so my husband and I could enjoy the day! We could not recommend The Simply Elegant Group enough!

To anyone going through the reviews if there’s one that you decide to read, please let it be this one!
Yes, it will be long, but there aren’t enough positive words to describe Mel...
ody ROY.
If you are considering hiring her as your wedding planner, let this be a sign to not think any further. HIRE HER, YOU WONT REGRET IT She’s worth every cent and even more.
She’s organized, meticulous, thorough, thoughtful, kind, intelligent, genuine, and all of the characteristics that you want someone to plan your wedding
When my husband and I first met her, we knew we could trust her with this. As two physicians, we are incredibly busy and quite frankly hard to impress. We also needed somebody who is meticulous and a true leader. Melody helped me in every single process, with every single vendor, every single decision, every twist and turn she was there. She was fully present in all of our conversations. At one point she was going through a rough personal experience and SHE STILL SHOWED UP.
As a bride, decision fatigue is one of the worst things!!!!. She got to know me, she got to know what I liked and made executive (behind the scene) decisions on my behalf. Some things like how many standing cocktail tables vs sitting tables are needed is not something the bride needs to worry about!
Our wedding was the most incredible day ever.
Our first few meetings were purely financial. She started off by making us a budget. And yes this girl can work in ANY budget. She’s flexible, she’s resourcefull! She never presented an option that was beyond our budget so I could fall in love with it and not be able to afford it. Actually, the only time I went above budget was my wedding dress when Melody wasn’t there LOLLL
I interviewed many wedding planners before I chose Melody. I put all of my time and effort in finding her so I didn’t have to plan a HUGE day that becomes with so much anxiety and stress.
Our next meetings were followed up with vendor selections. The wedding market is SATURATED. It’s so NICE to be given 2-3 options of vendors in your budget that you will like. Dare I say, she made wedding planning fun.
She checked in on me the days leading up to the wedding, which were invaluable. Needless to say this girl knows what she’s doing.
And day of? She was executing!! Fixing zippers of dresses for both bridesmaids and guest. She took care of everyone. There was a HUGE SNOW STORM on the wedding day. We pivoted where we needed to kept the course where we needed as well. IT WAS ALL HANDLED.
No I do not personally know her and no there is no incentive to this review. Just a bride who is so grateful to have had an AWESOME PLANNER.

n their wedding, I started researching and was immediately overwhelmed. From the first call with Simply Elegant Group to the last dance at the wedding, Hanh helped us find the very best vendors, saved us money and took all of the stress of planning and organizing off of our shoulders. Hanh was professional, experienced, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Hanh's work and attention to detail made it "the best wedding ever" according to all of our guests. I would absolutely recommend the Simply Elegant Group if you want to get the best value, the best ideas, the best vendors and enjoy your wedding.

SEG was amazing to work with on our wedding day. We were paired with Ashley Lytel as our planner, and we cannot speak highly enough about how incredible she was to work with. Ashle...
y made our ~18 month planning process smooth, calm, and fun. She connected us with the best vendors, was always available to answer questions, calmed our nerves, and kept us comfortably within our budget. We never felt pressured to book anything outside of our budget constraints, and Ashley found creative alternatives for when my dreams got a little beyond my means!
On the wedding day Ashley kept everything fun and calm and handled all of the personalities that come with a large family wedding. She was incredible throughout the process and we honestly miss working with her- she was that fun!
We cannot recommend SEG enough and are so grateful they made our wedding such a dream day.

Brenda was amazing to work with from start to finish! She cared about understanding us as a couple and our desires for the wedding. Recommending other vendors that met our budget,...
our personality and vision. Wedding planning is full of stressful decision making and Brenda coached us through those moments, held us to account, but remained flexible. She’s so sweet, fun, and professional—always on time, always prepared, and somehow made the whole planning process actually enjoyable. She went above and beyond by even unwrapping over 150 wigs that we had forgot about 😂
She was super quick to answer texts and emails, always happy to hop on a call, and kept us on track with a super detailed timeline so nothing ever felt last-minute or rushed. I especially loved her monthly check-ins on the 1st—it kept everything organized and stress-free.
Brenda came recommended from a friend’s wedding, and now I get why. Couldn’t have asked for a better planner and I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

From the very first meeting, Valerie from The Simply Elegant Group completely won us over. She met with us in person and spent nearly two full hours diving into every detail of our...
(okay, mostly my) wedding vision. Right away, it was clear she wasn’t just a planner—she was a listener, a guide, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable.
What set Valerie apart throughout the planning process was her consistency and calm professionalism. She stayed in regular contact with us—monthly check-ins at first, then weekly as the big day approached, and even daily in that final stretch. She always kept me on track without making things feel overwhelming. She helped with everything from designing signs to crafting our timeline and managing vendor communication.
But most of all, she brought this incredible sense of calm that I didn’t know I needed so badly. I’ve seen other planners who are high-energy or frantic, and while they mean well, that kind of energy would have stressed me out. Valerie, on the other hand, had this "I got it" energy that was both reassuring and grounding. No drama, no stress—just total confidence and grace.
And then there’s Gabi, her day-of assistant—who was equally amazing. Together, they made sure the day flowed seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail was handled with care and professionalism.
And I swear—when it looked like it might rain, Valerie must have worked some kind of magic, because we ended up with a stunning 72-degree October day with sunshine. I mean, who else can literally chase the rain away?!
Thanks to Valerie (and Gabi!), our wedding day didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful for their support, calm presence, and true expertise. If you're looking for a planner who brings peace, organization, and genuine care to the biggest day of your life—look no further.
Thank you, Valerie, for making our wedding absolutely perfect. We couldn’t be happier!

We had the pleasure of working with Margaret leading up and day-of and it was so wonderful from start to finish. Margaret let me "do my thing," while providing the best support, guidance and comfort to keep us in-check and feeling good the whole time.
Would recommend working with SEG to everyone!

She also made sure to stop us in passing to make sure if we needing anything. I would recommend her to anyone and hope she knows how much she changed our day for the better. Thanks Taylor!

O...
ur wedding was an a la carte event with an outdoor ceremony and a big tent outside at our lakehouse for 250 guests which required so much coordinating yet Idalis made it seem easy. On our first few calls with the team we worked to plan the timeline for wedding day. While we booked at the vendors and the basic plan with each, Idalis coordinated with our photographer, caterer, bar, band and other vendors to make the detailed timeline.
We also had a planning meeting 2 weeks before the wedding that Idalis set up with all of our vendors at the wedding location. Idalis asked so many questions of the vendors that I would have never even thought to coordinate or ask.
On wedding day, Idalis ran the show and made sure the ceremony and reception were set up perfectly while also checking in with me just enough to make sure I was happy with everything. This is the second time my family has used Idalis and SEG for wedding planning and would use her again in a heart beat!

feel so cared for and understood. She listened to every detail of our vision and found ways to make it even better than we imagined.
Caroline was always so calm, kind, and reassuring which gave us so much peace of mind during the planning process. No matter how big or small the question she was there with answers, advice, and encouragement. She genuinely felt like a friend walking alongside us and not just a planner.
On our wedding day, Caroline was nothing short of amazing. She took care of every detail so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We literally didn’t have to worry about a single thing knowing she was there.
We are forever grateful to Caroline and The Simply Elegant Group for making our wedding day so beautiful, stress-free, and filled with joy. We couldn’t have done it without her and we’ll always remember how special she made this entire experience.

We began working with Grace approxi...
mately two months before the wedding, which gave us ample time to go over all the important details in advance. From the start, she was organized, proactive, and incredibly supportive, ensuring that every aspect of the day was thoughtfully planned.
Grace went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional—she kept in regular contact with us, consistently followed up with our vendors, and made sure that all contracts, deadlines, and logistics were handled with precision. She held everyone (including us!) accountable in a way that was kind, professional, and effective.
Beyond her logistical expertise, Grace brings an effortless sense of style and calm to the planning process. She is incredibly chic and composed, and her presence brought an added layer of confidence and elegance to the day.
We are so grateful to have had her guidance and support—she truly helped bring our vision to life and made our day stress-free and unforgettable.

SEG and Lindsay were everything we needed for our Sonoma wedding. It was destination for her since she is based in Dallas, but there was not a single detail missed. I never had to ...
worry about anything getting done, because I knew her attention to detail and organizational skills were best of the best. I had the most stress free and enjoyable wedding day because every time I was asking to make sure something was handled, she finished my sentence for me and ensured it was already done. Being a type A person, I was so nervous I would be stressed out the entire weekend, but rest assured Lindsay eased all my stress and nerves by handling everything flawlessly. Setup was not for the faint of heart with such a widespread venue with a lot of moving parts (especially since it was destination and she had never seen the venue in person until rehearsal!). Without a single question asked to me, each and every piece of decor made it and was setup perfectly. We are so grateful our venue required us to hire a planner and DOC, because we couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her.

edding, and we are SO GRATEFUL. From the start, she jumped right in to help us make our day perfect. Her energy is unmatched and she went above and beyond for my husband and I preparing for our wedding day (and the day of the wedding of course!). Her responses were incredibly quick, and she knows everything there is to know about wedding planning. She reached out to all of our vendors, gave us detailed and specific lists of what we still needed to do and prioritize leading up to the wedding, and made sure every single vendor knew exactly what to do and when. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and I wish I could give her 100 stars!! She is super confident and a natural leader, and I felt so comfortable going through our final walkthrough and schedule with her because she truly knows her sh*t. I had absolutely no stress leading up to the wedding (everyone I talked to was shocked about this) and it's all thanks to Grace. The day of the wedding she would check in periodically but otherwise made sure every single detail was PERFECT. I didn't have to think about anything except having a magical time with my husband :) My only regret is that we didn't have her with us from the beginning, as I think we would have really benefited from her negotiation skills and help finding a perfect venue. Can't thank her enough!

My husband and I cannot recommend our planner Hanh and Simply Elegant enough. We had several virtual meetings with Hanh to plan key aspects of our wedding day- budget, design, and ...
2 timeline meetings. These were key touchpoint spread out over our year of working with Simply Elegant to be on target for our Big Day. We were provided with a digital wedding workbook that allowed us to plan, organize, and track all of the key aspects of our wedding day from ceremony timeline, reception timeline, attending guest list, to inventory. This resource was invaluable to keep us organized and also to have a shared document with our planner Hanh.
The day of our wedding was seamless and we received many compliments from our 120 guests about how organized our wedding day was and the high level of execution and level of detail. Hanh checked in with us regularly to assist us in any way that she could and was the key point of contact with our other wedding vendors including caterer and florist. Hanh exceeded our high expectations in so many ways including all of her timely and detailed communication throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. She even took the time to learn the dance steps to a Bollywood song that we had invited our family and friends to learn in advance of the wedding so that everyone could dance together in a flash mob!
Thank you Hanh and Simply Elegant for your many contributions to creating the very best day of our lives!

Leaving this review isn’t easy, but I want to be transparent for other couples considering this service. While I had a great experience communicating with Lindsay early on, once we...
were assigned our day-of coordinator, Mimi, things didn’t go smoothly. I raised concerns before the wedding about whether she understood my vision, and unfortunately, those concerns played out on the day.
There were multiple miscommunications—she gave incorrect instructions that caused the groomsmen to miss our first look, confused vendor info, and didn’t follow the timeline I carefully prepared. She also appeared in the background of several photos unnecessarily, and her assistant wasn’t equipped to help with setup at all. A friend of mine ended up stepping in and doing the majority of the setup, which wasn’t her responsibility and almost made her late to our ceremony.
In the end, I truly feel like things wouldn’t have gone any differently had we not hired a coordinator at all—which is disappointing given how important this role is. I do appreciate that she helped retrieve a forgotten car and stayed late to help with decor cleanup, but unfortunately, those moments didn’t outweigh the stress and confusion we experienced.
Giving 3 stars because parts of the service were handled professionally and the early communication was great, but overall, the support on the wedding day just wasn’t what we needed or expected.

She didn’t just plan our wedding, she brought it to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. Ashley is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about her couples, which makes all the difference.

rywhere at once. Her ability to juggle a million moving parts while keeping everything smooth and stress-free was nothing short of amazing. Her multitasking was truly impressive — it felt like she had six sets of hands and eyes, yet she never once seemed flustered.
All of us, including our entire wedding party, had so much respect for her. She was able to get things done efficiently and keep everyone on track while still being kind, approachable, and positive — which is something you don’t always see with wedding coordinators.
People often say, “We couldn’t have done it without our coordinator,” and in this case, that couldn’t be more true. Illisha was the backbone of our wedding day, ensuring every detail came together flawlessly. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in charge — and everything turned out even better than we imagined.
Out of all the vendors we worked with, Illisha was by far the best. Her talent, hustle, and kindness made a huge impact on our experience. We are endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect. If you’re on the fence, this is the person you want running your wedding day. Absolute rockstar!

The Simply Elegant team also provides a helpful wedding workbook and checklist, which is a great tool to keep everything in one place during the planning process. It helped us stay on top of the many details and deadlines that come with planning a wedding.
We’d definitely recommend Simply Elegant—especially for couples who want to minimize stress and have a reliable point of contact on the big day. Having Ilisha there to take care of the logistics let us focus on enjoying the moment.

If you are looking for any planning needs for your big day, this is the company to use!! I cannot thank Alex McCarron from the Simply Elegant Group enough for her help during our w...
edding planning!! My husband and I chose to use a partial planner through this company, and we sure hit the jackpot! The options you have for planning your big day through SEG makes it the best choice for every bride!!
Once I signed with SEG, they gave me a workbook and created Google folders to keep me organized for my big day :) I planned many details on the front end, and when my planner kicked in about 2 months before the wedding, Alex swooped in and took control so I could focus on the wedding ahead!! She kept me focused on my check list and helped me prioritize what I had left to do. From vendor emails, to last minute seating changes, Alex was on top of the very single detail! Alex, was also great at making my husband feel apart of the process and supported. She asked my husband about the parts of the wedding he said he had opinions about, and let me handle the rest.
Her direct, kind, relatable personality made me feel like I was planning with a friend, and she KILLED IT!! I am sad the wedding is over, as it means I have to move on from Alex! Thank you SEG for everything!!!

We had an amazing experience with The Simply Elegant Group, and we can’t say enough good things about our day-of coordinator, Jess Schnoll. Leading up to the wedding, I was impress...
ed with the coordination and communication as we prepared for the big day. She was incredibly organized, positive, and made our wedding day feel completely stress-free. She handled every detail and vendor coordination flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. Several family members even complimented us on how great Jess was on the day of our wedding.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with The Simply Elegant Group! We booked them right after picking our wedding venue / date and it was by far the best choice we made duri...
ng the planning process. They most definitely saved us more money than we spent due to their knowledge of the wedding industry, expertise in managing logistics, and suggestions for contracting with other vendors.
Our assigned planner, Valerie, was a joy to work with throughout the process. She went above and beyond expectations, doing extra things like picking up our personal floral and creating signature drink signs. She also kept us on track by pointing out logistics we had overlooked (directional signage, dinner table numbers, etc). On our actual wedding day, Valerie and her assistant Gaby made the experience a breeze for us! We didn't have to worry about anything other than celebrating our marriage and being with all of our loved ones. Bonus shoutout to Gaby for keeping the groom's corsage fastened to his suit throughout the day.
If we could plan the wedding all over again, the only thing we would do differently is purchasing additional services from The Simply Elegant Group! They were just that good :)

Hiring Alex as our wedding planner was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From our very first meeting, she exuded a sense of calm and professionalis...
m that instantly put us at ease. She truly listened to our ideas, embraced our vision, and somehow brought it all together even more beautifully than we imagined.
Every detail was handled with care and precision—her eye for organization is exceptional. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and on the big day, she was the quiet powerhouse behind the scenes, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly while we soaked up every precious moment.
What truly sets Alex apart is her ability to juggle it all with grace. She provided unwavering support, especially during the overwhelming moments, and always looked for ways to help us save wherever possible. On the day itself, we didn’t lift a finger—she handled everything, allowing us to simply be present and enjoy. We were so deeply grateful.
If you're looking for someone to master your vision, ease your stress, and transform wedding-day chaos into pure magic—Alex is that person. We couldn’t be more thankful.

Hands down, the best investment we could have made for our wedding was hiring SEG. Especially since we were trying to plan a wedding in Chicago from Florida, we were lost in starti...
ng this journey. Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything.
You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail that was given on the actual day and the curated timeline made it all seamless and gave us the opportunity to actually take in and enjoy the whole day with family and friends! We could write a book about how magical and perfect every aspect of the wedding turned out, how valued we felt over the planning process, or even how Alex went out of her way to make sure that the little details happened that you look back on now and deeply appreciate but it still wouldn't be enough to repay her for curating the wedding that we dreamed of.
