Nicole was SO helpful and made our big day stress free!

Nicole made our wedding planning experience so amazing. She executed our vision perfectly. She never made us feel pressured, rushed, or stressed. She was such a calm presence leading up to the wedding, at the rehearsal, and on the big day! She has impeccable planning skills, unmatched social skills, and so much patience!! We don’t know what we would have done without her. She was communicative and made sure all our questions and concerns were answered and taken care of. We can’t thank Nicole and Simply Refined Events enough. We would 10/10 recommend.

More than a wedding planner

Michelle helped plan the most spectacular wedding! No drama. Kept everyone calm even when adjustments had to be made due to weather. Went above and beyond expectations. Setup and tear down beautifully executed. Impossible without her.

The Best in the Biz!

Hey y’all! My name is Rob Rubino and I’ve been in the wedding industry for 20 years as a DJ/MC in NY and AZ.
You can not get any better than Simply Refined Events with Nicole and Michelle. I have worked with them both many times and their attention to detail is unmatched. Combine that with their wedding knowledge, experience, and down to earth personalities, and there really is no one better than Nicole and Michelle for your wedding planning and execution on the day of. I love working with these ladies, and the weddings are always a blast!

Loved nicole!

I LOVED working with Nicole! I am a bit of a control and organizational freak so it was AMAZING to have Nicole as my day of planner and helping out the last month leading up to our wedding day! She was so kind and always on top of everything. Recommended great vendors, helped out with the schedule and made sure everything went smooth and I didn't have to think about a thing! I would highly recommend her!!

Nicole as Day of Coordinator

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole as our day-of-coordinator. I am amazed at everything she was able to do in the amount of time that she had. She took the design of the bride and groom and made everything look fabulous. She made sure every detail was perfect and dealt with little glitches as to not be noticed by the bride, groom and guests!
With the timeline, the day went incredibly smooth. She stayed on top of all the vendors as they arrived, worked extremely well with everyone, made sure everything looked spectacular, and even continued to check in with the bride and groom to make sure they were eating! We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding! Nicole, with her super organizing talents, made the day one that everyone could enjoy!

The perfect planner for my perfect day!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Nicole as our wedding planner, and that was by far the BEST decision we made! Nicole was a dream to work with! From assisting with making my vision come to life, to recommending the perfect vendors for us, she truly did it all! Nicole joined me on all my vendor meetings to ensure my satisfaction was being met. Day of, Nicole made sure every detail was perfect! With the timeline she created, the day went absolutely seamless. She stayed on top of all the vendors as they arrived, made sure everything looked stunning, and even continued to check in with the groomsmen to make sure they were getting ready on time! We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us! I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone planning their wedding!

The best of the best

Michelle Scarzone is absolutely incredible at what she does. I could never imagine going through the process of planning our wedding without her expertise, vendor recommendations, event planning skills, and coordination of communicating all the essential information with everybody! I firmly believe that everything went as smoothly as it did on our wedding day largely in thanks to Michelle. She is truly a gem and ensured that we had a stress free, beautiful wedding day and amazing reception in which we didn't have to worry about a single thing. I would recommend her in a heart beat and can't say enough good things about her. You need Michelle on your team when it comes to weddings. She has the best personality and paid attention to every detail. Thanks again for everything, Michelle!

The Icing on the Cake!

Michelle and Simply Refined Events was recommended to us from our venue. We are very particular with details and Michelle helped us have the perfect evening. Michelle also has a very calm demeanor which is very important when so many personalities are involved with the planning. At the end of the evening - everything from the reception magically appeared in our garage and it was the icing on the cake not to have to go back and pick up all the gifts, and props that were at the venue. If you are looking for a calming personality to work with who close has the precision of an uptight planner - she is your girl!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
