Highly recommend!
We worked with Grace for our wedding day, and she was truly spectacular. Any couple planning a wedding knows the decision fatigue is real. Grace stepped in and was decisive from the jump, took charge when needed, and made our wedding day so special. We feel grateful to have worked with her, and could trust that she was taking care of everything not only day of, but along the way as well. It was beyond helpful having her to keep us on track day of. Highly recommend Simply Elegant and Grace!!
Best Wedding Ever!
Working with Hanh from the Simply Elegant Group was simply the best decision we could have made for planning our son's wedding. When my son asked me to help he and his partner plan 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.
Thank you Brenda!!
Hiring the SEG was one of the best decisions we made. We worked with Brenda Chavez who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Brenda made all our dreams come to life. She was easy to communicate with and truly listened to all of our needs and wishes. She was truly someone we could rely on during the months leading up to our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she ensured our entire day flowed perfectly. We were able to enjoy our day without worrying about out all the behind the scene logistics. The wedding workbook provided by the SEG was super helpful. We’re so grateful and it is a no brainer to recommend their services! - A & D
Great Coordinator
Working with Valerie for Erin & John’s wedding was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and wonderfully organized. Every detail of the day flowed seamlessly thanks to her coordination and clear communication. Her calm and friendly presence made the entire experience enjoyable, and it was clear how much care she puts into making each event truly special. We would be thrilled to work with her again and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated planner to bring their vision to life! Manuel & Iuliia, Fine Music Entertainment- Music for special events.
