Best day of our lives!

Investing in Kate and simply sapphire events was probably the best decision we could have ever made. With me not being a very organized person and having a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic where we’ve never been here and knew nothing about, Kate took the bull by its horns and truly made the process for us as stress free and easy as possible. From our initial consultation call we were sold after that first hour and from her. Kate is a huge reason why our wedding day went so smoothly and perfectly and I couldn’t recommend her enough

Kate is amazing!

Kate was our wedding planner for our Punta Cana wedding this year, between having to switch destinations and picking new resorts, Kate was so helpful and patient every step of the way! As an anxious person, Kate really put my mind at ease throughout the whole process. She really is an expert and I can not recommend her enough! We met frequently and always discussed any concerns. Even though Kate was not physically there on our wedding day, she made sure to consistently reach out and help in any way she could. I couldn’t have imagined planning my wedding without her. Thank you so much for everything Kate! Our wedding was perfect because of you!

Highly recommend!

Kate was amazing!! I did the day of coordinator package and I got so much more support than I anticipated. She also offers planning services and I can only imagine how incredible she is with that. Kate and I had regular communication leading up to the wedding and she provided helpful resources that helped guide my next steps along the way. She worked with all of my vendors and created a timeline for us, which as far as I know, we stuck to. I didn’t have to do anything on my wedding day except enjoy the moments. Kate was extremely supportive throughout the night with little things too like having some socks for me since I forgot them for my change of shoes and fixing my bustle when it got messed up. She also stayed at the venue after we left to make sure all of our decor was gathered for us to get the next day. In my opinion, Kate went above and beyond for us and I highly recommend her for your event!

Best wedding planning decision, by far.

Working with Kate was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. She stayed on top of every detail, big and small, and made the entire process feel seamless. On my wedding day, she brought such a sense of calm and confidence—any time someone had a question for me, I felt completely at ease saying, “Ask Kate.” I trusted her fully, and she delivered beyond expectations.
Leading up to the wedding, Kate was a true pleasure to work with: prompt, organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. She genuinely cared about our vision and made sure every aspect was carried out beautifully.
Even if your venue provides a “day-of coordinator,” I can’t recommend hiring someone like Kate enough. She already knew our preferences, had built relationships with our vendors, and was completely focused on our experience and our families’ needs. Anyone would be lucky to work with her. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect.

Don't Wait - Hire Kate!

Enlisting Simply Sapphire Events was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. From the moment Kate stepped in as our day-of coordinator, she brought a level of organization, calm, and professionalism that truly allowed me to enjoy every moment of our day. My only regret is not hiring her sooner in the planning process. 


Leading up to the wedding, Kate was responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision. She reviewed our timelines, vendor list, and all our contracts. We had several planning meetings leading up to our wedding day. During our meetings, Kate brought so many things to my attention that I would have never considered on my own. She was able to fine tune all our event details in a way only someone with exceptional experience and talent can do. 


On our wedding day, Kate handled everything seamlessly. From managing vendors to troubleshooting any and all issues, Kate ensured the entire event flowed effortlessly. She kept us perfectly on schedule without making us feel rushed, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still remaining warm and supportive. Our other vendors, families, and wedding party even commented on how amazing Kate was to work with throughout the night. 


Because of Kate, we were able to fully soak in our ceremony, enjoy our reception, and truly remain present. She removed all the extra stress and allowed us to simply celebrate. We are SO grateful and would recommend Kate to any couple looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and exceptional day-of coordinator. Kate helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Kate is the best!!!

I don't even know where to start. Kate was nothing short of amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process! From meeting with her on monthly video calls more than a year before our wedding to having her present on our actual wedding day, I truly don't think I could have done it without her! Planning a destination wedding sounded so stressful and I had no clue where to even begin. Kate guided me through every single step along the way, relieving most of the wedding planning stress a bride may feel! We had monthly planning or check-in meetings and she was always available to answer any and all questions I had. The best decision I made was flying her down for the wedding for a few days. She was there to help with EVERYTHING and went the extra mile to make sure myself and my guests were happy and accommodated-  I cannot thank her enough! She was so amazing and made sure the entire day ran smoothly by coordinating with the resort staff and all of my guests. Kate was so professional, transparent, honest, helpful and compassionate at every single meeting we had via video call or in-person. I will recommend her to any person that wants to plan a destination wedding. She is filled so much knowledge and has a lot of experience with destination weddings at so many different locations! You can sense her passion in helping brides plan their dream wedding day and I am so happy she was part of our special day!

Kate is exceptional !

I was very hesitant on getting a Wedding Planner as I thought that it was easy enough for me to do myself. My sister-in-law who had Kate for her wedding, suggested her as she was very pleased with how Kate helped her out. So eventually I gave into the thought and we hired simply Sapphire. Well, Kate literally saved me this entire wedding process. She was helpful. She was quick to respond. She was on top of everything and she was genuinely a good and nice person. She made the entire process easy, including wedding day! Everything went so smooth because of Kate! Even to the point where I told my husband now that I am truly sad that our meetings with Kate are over! I will recommend her to anyone and everyone! We love you, Kate

Best decision ever!

Kate was amazing. She knew every step of the destination wedding process. Things I would have never thought of were on her list and I got to the resort so incredibly prepared. The wedding was completely stress free due to her proper planning. She helped manage vendors, the resort, the on site coordinator and more. Highly recommend! Couldn’t have done it without her.

Kate Anderson from Simply Sapphire Events was an extraordinary experience.

Working with Kate Anderson from Simply Sapphire Events was an extraordinary experience. From the very beginning, Kate demonstrated exceptional professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making every aspect of our wedding seamless and stress-free.

Throughout the months of planning, she guided us with patience and expertise, ensuring that no question went unanswered and that every decision was made with clarity and confidence. Her dedication allowed us to fully enjoy the journey, knowing we were in capable hands.

Kate’s experience and insight were invaluable, from coordinating the violin with the resort’s vendors to managing details we hadn’t even considered. Her thoughtful approach transformed what could have been a stressful process into a smooth, enjoyable experience.

We are profoundly grateful for her patience, guidance, and unwavering support. We wholeheartedly recommend Simply Sapphire Events to anyone looking to plan a wedding with elegance, precision, and care. Thank you again for everything!

Best money we spent!

Kate was absolutely amazing and essential for our wedding! I don't know what we would have done without her! She went above and beyond for us in planning and coordinating our wedding day. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding because Kate and her team had control of everything. She is so kind, organized, and has a calming presence to her that was so appreciated during the stress of a wedding. We were able to enjoy the fun parts of wedding planning and the actual wedding because she handled the stressful stuff. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner or coordinator, DO IT! I can't express enough how grateful we are for Kate and her team and everything they did to make our wedding the best day ever!
