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.

Peggy Walker wedding planner/Simplicity

I thought I was organized! Our wedding planner, Peggy Walker, was spot on. So easy to work with and had so much knowledge to offer. If I had any questions she had the answers. Peggy coordinated all our vendors, which made the day run so smoothly. She also made herself available 24/7 which was so valuable to me. Peggy is worth her weight in gold!

Thanks so much!

We really enjoyed working with Peggy Walker of Simplicity! She was very supportive, responsive, and thorough in her organization of our special day. Peggy helped things flow smoothly on the day-of, and made sure that my husband and myself were enjoying ourselves, above all else. We didn’t think we needed a wedding planner at first, but we are very relieved that we went with Peggy. You never really know what all goes into a wedding till you have an outside perspective! Thank you, Simplicity! Would 100% recommend for your event planning needs :)

Where do I start?
Thank you SO much for supporting us through the most amazing experience of both our lives and helping us create our dream wedding surrounded by friends and family.

Everyone is in awe of what you do and how you made our day so seamless and wonderful!
You’re amazing and I can’t wait to share photos with you!

Excellent!

Courtney was a fantastic wedding planner! We hired her for the unlimited package, and it may have been the best decision we made planning a "destination" wedding in Roanoke all the way from Utah. Throughout the entire planning process, she was there to give us fantastic advice and keep us on track through phone calls that she so graciously worked around our schedules for. She was relaxed when we would become unnecessarily stressed about planning things, but she was direct and to-the-point when things needed to get done. She got all the vendors on the same page prior to the wedding weekend, and everything went off without a hitch. A few months prior to the wedding, we had two separate transportation companies back out of contracts with us (nothing to do with Courtney!), and Courtney was quickly calling everyone she could think of to make sure we were taken care of! During our wedding weekend, she successfully kept our wedding party and our large families calm and on time to everything (no small feat if you’d know our families!). We would recommend her to anyone, and we cannot thank her enough for helping to make our day so so magical. Thanks, Courtney!

Almost 6 months from our wedding, and I'm finally getting around to writing reviews, but our team of vendors was too fantastic to not show them some love. Vicki was a HUGE reason why we loved our vendor team so much. Throughout the planning process, she was available, flexible and always ready to listen or offer a hand. She also allowed my husband, my mom and I to all feel like we were still in control, but we had her available as our right hand woman WHENEVER we needed something. The day of the wedding - we were all able to relax and enjoy. Everything went perfectly, and I have no doubt that Vicki was the best choice for wedding planner we could have made.

Courtney was so wonderful to work with. We hired her a month out when we realized we couldn't handle coordinating the wedding on our own. She went above and beyond to coordinate with our vendors, create a schedule, and make sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes. Our wedding day would have been so stressful without Courtney managing everything. She was indispensable and even ran across the hotel when she realized I was about to walk down the aisle without my veil. I couldn't have done it without Courtney, and hiring her was the best wedding decision we made.

She supported me with anything I needed and ensured the day of the wedding ran smoothly. I can't say enough kind words about Peggy and Simplicity!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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
