Excellent experience

Where do I begin? My daughters wedding was perfect. I think I’m a perfectionist and am very hands on with events, well, I have to say that I was at ease with Shelby and her team! She executed my thoughts and my daughters vision before we even thought to say anything.
I would highly recommend them!
They are on point! They made our dreams come true! They made everything very easy. And to boot, I was just a little star struck with Shelby and how amazing her and her team were!

Best wedding experience start to finish

As someone who considers herself very organized and detail oriented, I still had no idea where to start with planning a destination wedding. After interviewing various wedding planners for my Cancun, Mexico wedding and not feeling a connection or inspired by any of them - when I spoke with Shelby I just knew she understood my vision. We contracted Shelby for full wedding planning services and the 1.5 years that we worked together were flawless! She is personable, creative, and extends herself to be available to her brides for every question, comment, concern or random thought that you have any day or time. The communication was flawless and effortless and she has the unique ability to make you feel like you are the only person in the room.

We met Shelby and Charlie when we traveled to Mexico for our food tasting/venue walkthrough about 1 year prior to our wedding. I already felt like I knew her based on the amount of calls/video chats/texts we had exchanged leading up to the initial meeting. She was equally as wonderful in person and the ideas and input she provided as we did our venue walkthrough were spot on and very appreciated!

The months leading up to the wedding were great, and as a bride I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because I knew I had the best team backing me. Shelby facilitated every interaction, kept contracts/payments organized, put together the best team & brought in the best vendors to support us on our special day.

Now for the wedding: As if the interactions, communication and unique ideas weren't enough, her wedding day execution was also FLAWLESS. I knew everything would be beautiful because I had painted a picture in my mind of what the tables, flowers, dancefloor, lighting, etc. would look like, but what Shelby created was beyond my wildest dreams! Every detail was perfection, the food was great, the timing was spot on, and the entertainment was a show stopper! All of her ideas of what to add/what wasn't needed were exactly what we needed. Lastly, Shelby and her team also have the best way of anticipating and navigating guests and their needs. With 100 people traveling to Mexico for our wedding & our family/friends having larger than life personalities, Shelby quickly got to know the whos who of our family and treated everyone with the utmost kindness and respect, while being gentle regarding our unique family dynamics. I will forever appreciate that she was able to navigate the family personalities and cater to everyone's unique needs during wedding week - needless to say, EVERY guest had the best time and the memories we created will last a lifetime!

I could not have pulled off the wedding of a lifetime without her and her team. She was our BEST decision and we are lucky to have been a Simply Classic couple! The gratitude we feel in our hearts will never go away - if you are looking for THE BEST, look no further!

Don’t look anywhere else!

I can’t thank Shelby enough for all of her help with our destination wedding! From finding a resort, to the booking process, she was so informative and prompt. Unfortunately, my fiancé & I had to cancel our destination wedding due to unforeseen family health issues. Shelby fought for us to make sure we could get back as much money as possible and we are so thankful! She’s super responsive and always there to help. Thank you a million times for everything!
