Couldn’t have had the most perfect day without them

You cannot get better with the match of personalities and attention to detail that Marsha and Lyn provide. They were present for our wishes and needs and made sure, even when we weren’t that our vision was followed. We would not have had the most perfect day without them. Thank you Marsha and Lyn!

Fantastic Planners

Marsha and Lyn were fantastic! We booked them for day of coordination and they were still available to answer questions throughout the planned process once we booked them. Marsha was the one who was present at our wedding along with an assistant. Marsha was amazing & handled all of the details, including ones we didn’t think of. There services made the day stress free which is what we were hoping for. Their services were one of the best uses of our wedding budget.

The team you need

Marsha and Lynn with Simply Detailed were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our daughter's wedding. They worked very efficiently - promptly answering emails, offering guidance, and handling concerns. Both have a great eye for detail, and possess all the practical skills and knowledge to pull a look together. You cam tell they love what they do! They were very personable and professional, and handled all the curve balls thrown at us with expertise and grace - exactly what you want from a wedding coordinator. We had a great experience with this team and would highly recommend to give you peace of mind so your family can truly enjoy the big day.
