About

Welcome to Simplicity.

Where every aspect of your event is, well, simple.

We are THE event specialists in the Roanoke Valley. But what makes us different?

Our founders have a combined 60 years experience in the hospitality business and have all lived and worked in the Roanoke Valley their entire lives. We have the connections to recommend the perfect vendors for your vision.

Not only does our years of experience set us apart, we also believe it's our passion that makes us difference. Planning is our passion and that’s what we do.

We don’t try and do flowers or photography on top of orchestrating your event. What that means is you can rest assured on your big day, when you need us we're right there. You hire an event planner to do just that ... to PLAN and to EXECUTE. We double check and triple check everything. We meet with your vendors and communicate directly with them to make sure every one is on the same page every step of the way.

We are proud that our founders all have backgrounds working in food & beverage. We have a former Restaurant Manager, former Director of Catering and even an an executive Chef as our founders! Events have been our lives and we believe your guests will remember your event based on their experience . . .and they remember the food!

So what makes us different? We have local connections, we plan, and we understand the basic needs for events. That's it. That's the difference. It's that simple.

Peggy Walker was the Best

Peggy Walker was a pleasure to work with. She works very hard to ensure the wedding day is perfect. She goes above and beyond and assisted us in many ways. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a day of coordinator who cares and provides excellence.

Simplicity is amazing! They are thorough and do everything in their power to accommodate each wedding according to the wishing of their client. They coordinated my wedding and have coordinated many weddings and events that I have both attended and worked at as a photographer! I would highly recommend Simplicity's staff and expertise for the perfect wedding day experience!

Vicki Itson of Simplicity is an absolute joy to work with! She's super-organized, energetic and fun, yet calm and focused. She's great with planning and execution. She has a big picture vision and a deft touch with details. There are so many people to bring together to make a wedding happen, and Vicki makes sure everyone involved is on the same page. Her business name says it all. She has a talent for handling multiple tasks efficiently and in an upbeat, cheerful manner, so that the overall event goes smoothly. Consequently, with her as Wedding Director, the couple can relax and enjoy their special day. I highly recommend her. -Rev. Kanta Bosniak, officiant
