    Lifesavor!

    Let me tell you, I could have not got through my wedding without Samantha! She helped me when I needed her most. She took the time to help me arrange my flowers for my centerpieces and make my Boutonnieres. Samantha made sure my reception looked beautiful when we got there. She made sure the vendors knew where to go and helped them set up. Samantha answered whatever questions I had and calmed me when I was at my worst. My day wouldn’t have ran as smoothly without her and her husband. I am forever grateful for her! ❤️

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions is exactly what it advertises, unforgettable! Samantha is extremely supportive, versatile and above all efficient. She will get the job done in a happy and efficient manner and will always respond to your questions and concerns quickly. Anthony Chessar was our Officiant for my husband and I's wedding and he was phenomenal. He was very flexible and able to meet us before the ceremony a couple of times to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it and was able to give us great advice on making it just that much better. He was extremely professional while also being funny and upbeat to make us feel comfortable and to assure us that the ceremony would go just the way we imagined. I would definitely recommend Simply Unforgettable Occasions to my friends and family and I have recently asked them to help plan our vow renewal for next summer.

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions assisted my husband and I with Full Wedding Planning Services. They were such a joy to work with. They took the time to learn our likes and dislikes in order to make sure our special day was tailor made. Being available to us day and evening at just a phone call or email away was extremely helpful because we live about 40 miles away. However, the distance never posed an issue in planning of our wedding. Professional, but very warm and inviting. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding/event planner who has an amazing attention to detail, and makes you feel at home.

    I would highly recommend Simply Unforgettable Occastions to anyone looking to have a beautiful, unforgettable wedding. All the stress I've always heard that comes with getting married was non-existent. Sam and everyone at SUO took my vision made it more perfect then I could have hoped for.

    Without the help of Samantha at Simply Unforgettable Occasions I would not have been able to enjoy my wedding the way a bride should be able to. My fiance and I were both in school, both working, and trying to plan a wedding. Needless to say, when people tell you planning a wedding is a "lot of hard work" that phrase is completely underestimated.

    I was overwhelmed almost immediately by all of the decisions I had to make and the planning I had to do. When I signed on with SUO, so much was taken off my plate that I was able to enjoy planning my wedding.

    Samantha helped me with vendors, decor, planning, and moral support to name a few of the many things she did for me.

    I can honestly say that I probably would have thrown in the towel if not for her and eloped, which wasn't really what I wanted to do, but the list of things to do kept growing and I became pretty frustrated.

    Samantha took so much weight off my shoulders and did whatever I asked whether it was contacting a vendor, getting a price, scheduling appointments, etc. She took care of my wedding party tuxes and placed me in touch with a great seamstress as well.

    The day of the rehearsal and wedding, she took care of all my decorations for me, I didn't have to set up a thing. She ran my rehearsal and ran my wedding and made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there.

    To those who may think a wedding planner is not worth the money, THEY ARE. They are worth your sanity, worth your time, and help you to be able to enjoy everything you want to enjoy about your wedding and minimize your stress. I would highly recommend Samantha and SUO for any wedding as she is able to make dreams come true no matter what the budget!

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions is simply the best! Samantha was extremely helpful in planning our wedding day and Ryan was an outstanding officiant. Danielle and I decided we wanted to get married on the beach in St. Joseph. Samantha was helpful in recommending a beach as well as some places we could go while we were in town. When we arrived at the beach on our wedding day we were met with rain clouds, and Samantha and Ryan holding a big basket of umbrella's.
    We waited out the storm and had the most amazing ceremony. As I edit the footage from our wedding I realized we could not have done it without them.

    Samantha was available for me physically and emotionally. Planning a wedding takes you on a crazy roller coaster and she is there for you the whole time, making sure your day turns out just as u planned and u get there sane and happy. She allows you to enjoy the process, the journey, the ride, and the day!!! She is amazing!!! she is great with details, seeing vision, and following instructions. She is worth every penny, if not even much more!!!

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. We were so happy that we could make your day extra special. We wish you many years of joy and happiness.

    Samantha came thru for me at the last minute, as the person I had lined up to be at my reception site for setup was unable to follow thru. I was very pleased with her attentiveness and willingness to jump in at the last minute, which took a load of stress off of me for my very special day. Thank you Samantha!!!

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions's reply:

    I am happy that I was able to alleviate a lot of your stress on your wedding day. Thank you for letting me be part of your special day. Congratulations once again.

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions was so helpful on my big day! They were hired for Full Service Coordination and Officiating. Ryan performed our Ceremony and did a wonderful job! It was great working with them, there were a few minors problems, but Samantha was on top of it and took care of the problem without me finding out until a few days after the wedding. We also rented linens and ordered invitations through Samantha, and received amazing products and great service! Everything ran smoothly and, with their help, allowed my Husband and I to enjoy our special day. Thank You Samantha and Ryan Kelm for all your hard work and dedication! <3

    Simply Unforgettable Occasions's reply:

    Congratulations one again and thank you so much for allowing Ryan and I to be a part of your special day. We wish Patrick and you many years of joy and happiness.

    I love Samantha Kelm and Simply Unforgettable Occasions for all there help in planning our wedding. This is my second wedding and i remember all the stress i had with the first wedding. I always told myself if i did it again, I would hire a wedding planner. Boy am I glad i did. We had no stress no problems to deal with, and we enjoyed the day, so did our parents and friends. So as a new married women, i deffinetly suggest you hire Simply Unforgettable Ocassions. because they are well worth it

    Unfortunately, because you did not inform me or my mom that you were not going to be in contact with us for two weeks a few months before the wedding, we were dissatisfied with your responsiveness and professionalism. A simple message, text, or e-mail to say you would be out of the office would have changed our views and we would have been a little more understanding.
    Also, it is not professional to depreciate the vineyard coordinator, or to tell me that my mom is "stressing out" over things. Regardless of the situation or how you felt, we were your customer, and if we requested your attention to certain matters, we expect it to get done. Although "other brides" may wish to wait until a month before the wedding to schedule hair appointments, I did not feel comfortable in waiting that long and if I, the out of state bride, wanted to make my own time line, then it is your job to respect my wishes.
    I did appreciate your referrals for The Vinekand Center and Santa Barbara Cheesecake, both of which we were very pleased with.
    Also, the gazebo and tent looked great, however, it upset me to see in my wedding pictures the flower petals, that were supposed to line the aisle, still in boxes!
    Due to the above complaints, your services did not exceed my expectations.
