I could not have done any of this without Simcha's Events!

I consider myself to be a fairly competent person, so I thought that a wedding planner would be an unnecessary expense. I will be forever grateful to the friend who convinced me otherwise and recommended Simcha. Simcha was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. She is truly an expert, and I feel so fortunate that I was able to benefit from her wealth of knowledge and extensive contacts in the wedding industry. She recommended great vendors, helped communicate with them and review contracts, and gave fantastic advice about countless details that would never have occurred to me otherwise. She made the planning process much less stressful, and she was there to make sure that everyone was in the right place and everything ran on schedule on the wedding day. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We worked with Jill Crane at Simcha's Events, and I recommend her very highly.

We wanted something between day-of coordination and full-on wedding planning, and Jill gave us that in the best way possible. She pointed us in the direction of good vendors when we got stuck, helped us know what questions to ask and what to watch out for before we signed contracts, and brainstormed creative ways to achieve our vision within our budget. As the day got closer, right when people started asking questions about details I never knew I needed to worry about (and didn't want to learn), she took all the orchestration of the various vendors and key players off our shoulders. You could tell what a professional she is, and what a good reputation she has, by how everyone knew her and was very happy/relieved to know she was their point of contact.

On the day of, she made sure everything ran so smoothly, in such a fun and lovely way, that I got compliments about her from everyone involved. Including family members who _hate_ being told what to do. ;-) Meanwhile, by then I trusted her so much that I turned all the hostessing headache over to her and just had a blast.

I thought going into this that there was no need for a planner - I'm organized and I know how to use the internet. But after working with Jill I can say it was the best investment we made.
