Nancy made my wedding an incredible day

We made the insane decision to get married in WA state while living on the east coast and booked our venue (Crystal Mountain Resort) without having ever seen it. Nancy was listed as a preferred vendor on their site. If you are getting married at CMR, DO NOT HESITATE BOOKING HER. Her wealth of experience at that venue was a huge source of comfort to me, and it showed. Your wedding day will always have something go wrong, but with Nancy at the helm, I never felt stressed or upset on our big day. I booked her for day-of coordination and it was the best decision I made for my wedding. She and her husband Dave are THE dream team. The entire day, they kept us on-schedule and our guests moving in the right place. She was gracious and patient the entire time. Weddings are her business. She will remind you about things you didn’t think of, and help you come up with solutions. Thank you so much Nancy and Dave!!!

Everything Was Perfect!!!!

Our wedding went off without a hitch all thanks to Nancy. Nancy managed all the vendors and set up! I was able to just relax and get ready My biggest regret is not having Nancy plan my entire wedding! Nancy was available to help with all my questions and helped me through the whole planning process.

Our best decision!

Hiring Nancy as our day-of coordinator was by far the best decision we made! After seeing her in action during the rehearsal, my stress melted away. Her attention to detail, experience, and ability to take control of a crowd were exactly what we needed. Honestly, I don't even know everything she did because she just took care of it all!
Nancy and her husband were such a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond our expectations. We were able to enjoy our wedding knowing Nancy had everything under control and we were in good hands.

Owner/Wedding and Event Planner

My company, Simply Celebrations & Events, has been personalizing weddings since 2006. I have had the honor of working with many couples in Washington state, helping them organize their details, find fabulous vendors and create a wedding that is truly a reflection of the couple themselves. They have fun and their guests have a wonderful experience at thier wedding.

When I am not planning weddings, you will find me working with a non profit, Kent International Festival, planning a large annual multicultural festival bringing together the diverse communities living in and around Kent WA. This festival celebrates culture through music, dance, food and fun and unites the people who live and work in Kent.

What am I doing when I am not working? I love traveling in the US and Canada - I want to see every single state in the US. Or you will find me tending to my vegetable garden or walking the nature trail by my home with my husband. Love to create delicious food at home and gotta have my coffee in the morning.

I worked with Nancy on a wedding and reception this past summer. Having known her from wedding vendor circles (she knows everyone!) I was the one who referred her as a vendor to the wedding couple. As usual, I cared about this couple and their hopes for a "perfect day". After hearing about some of the complicated logistics of their mountaintop ceremony and reception I suggested they hire a professional, and gave them Nancy's information. I am SO pleased they researched her work and reputation, met her and chose her for their day of coordinator. Nancy went above and beyond working just the "day of". She made a site visit with the couple and the manager of the resort. She was thorough and attentive to details of decoration and catering that most couples would not consider to inquire about. At the reception, she handled some of the club's managerial oversights with such aplomb that the couple is probably still unaware there was ever an issue. This is what she does best. She handles the details, the vendor relationships, the stress, and the sheer adrenaline of special events so YOU don't have to. I can't imagine the couple not having had a coordinator for their wedding day, and in particular, not having had Nancy of Simply Celebrations. She came through for them with flying colors and she will for you, too. It's what she does.

Nancy is a trusted pro and a treasure in the wedding business. Every bride who decides to start from scratch, and not lean into the wisdom of a seasoned wedding planner, is vulnerable to learning the painful way -- from mistakes. Nancy is sensible, knowledgeable, hard-working and passionate, and will help her brides successfully navigate the maze from "just getting started," to "wedding day perfection." That's a high calling, and she does it to the best of her ability, every time.
