Everything and more!!

Shelby at Simply Classic Events & Simply Classic Travels made my wedding dreams come to life! She was amazing with helping me find my perfect venue, set up room blocks for all my guests, help coordinate multiple events and listened and fulfilled every last request & detail my husband and I wanted. She would answer every panic email and text instantly and eased any nerves I had through out the whole planning process. She truly made wedding planning a breeze and always had me & my fiancé in mind. I truly cannot thank her enough for making my dream come to life! All my guests raved about her all weekend :)

ONE HAPPY BRIDE! I hired Shelby for my destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and that was the best decision I had ever made. She was so helpful from day one. She not only negotiated the best prices for our budget but also got us upgrades at no charge. She is simply magical with what she does. We told Shelby that my husband had high end clients coming in from all over and we defiantly had to impress them, she told us not a problem and boy did she come through with that. Everyone was so impressed with the wedding Shelby had put together. She defiantly is the cream of the crop when it comes to wedding planning. I recommend her to anyone who wants a wedding to remember!

Not the bride, but felt I should write a review because of how pleased I was with Simply Classic Events. As the Matron of Honor for my cousin's wedding, I was expecting to take care of all the little details and run errands for her.. whatever she might need, but that wasn't the case at all because of Shelby's excellent service. With a destination wedding you would expect a few hiccups along the way.. if that was the case you would never know it because Shelby took care of everything. She was there to help with every little detail. My cousin was calm the entire time, knowing she could depend on Simply Classic Events to take care of everything. Shelby was even able to upgrade the table cloths for the reception which made it so special for Vanessa and Ted. She really goes above and beyond for her clients. The wedding and reception were absolutely gorgeous and there were so many small details that Shelby planned that made it personal to the bride and groom. I can't say enough goos things about Shelby and Rainn. If I wasn't already married I would use them for my own wedding. I will definitely recommend them to anyone I know planning a special event. Thank you Shelby and Rainn for making Vanessa and Ted's wedding so special!

Wedding in Cozumel

The wedding was beautifully managed by Simply Classic. The venue was elegantly decorated, the food was excellent, and every detail was handled with care. The event ran smoothly, thanks to the planner’s great organizational skills. As a guest, I was impressed by the seamless flow of the event and the attention to detail. Based on this experience, I would definitely consider hiring Simply Classic for my own wedding. Their ability to create a memorable event was truly commendable.

I would honestly give Shelby 10 stars if I could!! We worked together for a year and half and she was super attentive and answered any and all questions super quickly. She introduced me to the best vendors I could have asked for and my wedding turned out absolutely perfect! I received tons of compliments about her from guests, because she was not only there for me, but for everyone at the wedding. She brought my vision to life and our day seriously could not have been better! THANKS GIRL!!!

Bridesmaid to Bride

After being a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding where Shelby was the wedding planner, I knew immediately that I didn't want a wedding for myself unless Shelby was there supporting me. Shelby and her team were heaven sent the day of the wedding. She was beyond professional and organized while simultaneously making us all feel like she was a part of our family. She knew exactly what the bride and the bridal party needed and provided the perfect vibes and energy. The wedding itself was also stunning and executed perfectly. She is now in the wedding planner for my wedding and I couldn't be more excited!

I have admired Shelbys work for years now and after getting to know her and working with her she has remained professional, friendly, and fun! She knows what her clients want, and she makes it happen! Her taste in decor is trendy, yet elegant, and she helps take the stress of "planning" off your plate. She will make you feel like a million bucks on your special day!

I recently had an event planned by Simply Classic Events and was blown away by Shelby - she really has a knack for organization and attention to detail. The event was beautiful, ran seamlessly, and the best part - I got to actually enjoy the day without having to worry about the little details. It was all taken care of and so many of my guests complimented me on how smoothly it ran! I was so happy with how it turned out, but I really couldn't take any of the credit. I will definitely be booking my next event with Simply Classic Events. The best!
