Dear brides: You can stop the search for your wedding planner... you found her!
Working with Addy to plan my Carmel, California wedding from afar was the BEST decision I ever made. There are so many decisions that you make while planning a wedding... so why not let Addy help you make them?!
From the initial planning, decision making, design, vendor recommendations, zoom meetings, cake, contracts, texts, phone calls.... Addy "simply" does it all!
Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she is one of the sweetest people I've known. She was always there when I needed her, gave me advice and comfort when things felt like they weren't working, and literally just a call or text away. Her experience working with different vendors and venues is unmatched. She makes it look so easy!
The day of: She was there at the venue bright and early ready to get to work with her assistant, Michelle (loved her!). She literally does it all - involved in florals, cake, table design, venue details, officiant, DJ... And on top of making the actual wedding happen, she was there to help calm me down, checked on me and my husband all day, and even helped me get dressed so I could surprise my girls in my dress for the first time.
When you're thinking about who you want the last person you talk to be before you walk down the aisle, knowing that you're about to have the best time of your life... I promise you won't be disappointed in Addy!

If you are thinking about hiring Addy as your wedding planner - just do it! From first seeing her portfolio on Instagram and then chatting with her on the phone, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with her. She is so organized, professional, fun, caring, patient and creative. I 100% trusted her to bring my vision to life, and she more than exceeded my expectations. I feel like I knew what I wanted in my head, and Addy was able to make it all happen while working seamlessly with our other vendors (that she helped to recommend with her knowledge of who would fit our vibe best). I was able to be soo much less stressed about wedding planning, because I knew Addy had everything under control. Not only did she help us source vendors/items/other wedding touches, she and her partner BUILT us the most beautiful chuppah and signage for our wedding day. Our wedding day flowed seamlessly, and if there were any hiccups, she made sure I didn’t even know about them. I can’t rave about her enough, and if you get the chance to work with her, know that your wedding planning is in the best hands!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many planners, but Addy of It’s Simply Addy truly stands out. Her organization and attention to detail ensure a smooth, stress-free day for everyone involved and her personal touch is what sets her out from the rest.

From the moment we began, Addy’s communication is clear, kind, and precise, allowing me to focus on capturing every special moment without worry (which is what I was hired to do!)

Addy’s calm demeanor and problem-solving skills are remarkable — she handles any challenges seamlessly, ensuring the couple’s day is flawless. Her creative touch brings each wedding to life, and her ability to transform a couple’s vision into reality results in breathtaking photos that truly reflect the uniqueness of their celebration.

If you’re looking for a planner who combines creativity, professionalism, and a flawless execution, I highly recommend Addy. Working with her is always a joy, and her expertise guarantees a memorable, seamless wedding day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better planner! From the moment we brought her on, she was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and a calming presence during a busy time. She took the time to understand our vision and ensured everything was executed flawlessly.

On the wedding day, she was a lifesaver—handling every detail seamlessly so we could fully enjoy the moment. Our vendors loved working with her, and so did we! If you’re looking for someone to bring peace of mind and perfection to your big day, she’s the one. Addy is SIMPLY the best! Highly recommend!

Addy is amazing and the absolute best! We're so happy we decided to go with Addy as our wedding planner. She truly made our wedding the perfect day. Everything was even better than we could have wished for. Our wedding was in Big Sur, and we live on the east coast so it's not the easiest to plan being on the opposite coast. Addy was there every step of the way and so great to work with. She always made time to speak to us and was super flexible. I can be indecisive on some details but Addy was so supportive and always gave us lots of different options and ideas.

We had a last minute change to our guest list and assigned seating the week of our wedding, which stressed us out, but Addy was so calm and made everything happen. She made sure the seating chart was correct and communicated to the appropriate vendors about this change. This is just one example of how Addy helped guide us and kept us on track.

We also received so many complements from our guests on the details and execution of our day. Looking back on our wedding day, there wasn't one moment where we were worried about anything, and it's all due to Addy's hard work!

We're so glad that we went with Addy as our coordinator. She helped bring our vision to life and was a joy to work with. She knew the ins and outs of the venue we got married at (La Playa Carmel) and it was so incredibly helpful to have someone who has so much experience with the space. Our wedding day went so smoothly, thanks to her and her assistant!

This review is long overdue, but we can wholeheartedly attest to the fact that Addy holds herself and her business to a high standard. Events, and especially weddings, require complicated managing of logistics and coordination, and you can absolutely trust Addy and her team to plan your wedding. Addy was communicative from beginning to end, and even after our wedding celebration.

Our belated wedding was a destination location for us, and we experienced unexpected torrential storms during the season and week leading up to our celebration. You can only imagine the stress this caused, but Addy worked closely with us and our vendors to ensure we had a well-executed Plan B. Despite uncontrollable factors, we had a wonderful and enjoyable wedding celebration. Addy and her team even went above and beyond and immediately trimmed the stems of my bouquet, placed it a vase with fresh water prior to our reception, and helped me transport it to the preservationist vendor (without me asking for any of this).

Addy still remained in communication with us after our wedding, as we attempted to resolve a couple of mishaps with other vendors that occurred related to our celebration. Her continued communication, understanding, and empathy towards our mishaps really spoke volume as to how she conducts her business and how much she values her clients.

You can absolutely trust that you are in great care with Addy as your coordinator/event planner!

Our wedding was everything we wanted because of her organization, attention to detail and calm personality. Every question we had was answered thoroughly. She had great ideas and suggestions and worked effortlessly with our other vendors. The day of our wedding, Addy double checked everything, without being noticed and always with her wonderful, calm smile. We were completely relaxed and enjoyed every moment of our day.

WOW! Addy and her team made our wedding dreams a reality! She made sure we were prepped along the whole planning journey with lists, deadlines, and check-ins. They worked closely with our vendors, so we didn’t have any stress leading up to the big day. She made sure we were comfortable, fed, eating, and having a blast throughout the day. If you’re debating on getting a planner — do it!!!

I highly recommend hiring Addy and her team, I’d give 10 stars if I could! Hiring a month of coordinator really allows you to enjoy the day so much more. She was very sweet and accommodating to assist us with anything we needed done. And her calming presence really helped keep me calm and stress free on wedding day! She was even available for any questions we had from the moment we chose It’s Simply Addy! Her staff that she brought with her was fantastic leading up to and during the event. She went over everything in so much detail in advance and the planning tool that she had us use was very helpful as well to help us go over everything before hand to make sure we had everything we needed. Addy really helped bring my vision to life, I can’t even describe how beautiful it was. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect!

Can’t wait to add photos when I get them back! :)
