Danielle absolutely exceeded all expectations that I could have had for a wedding planner. After hearing friends struggle day-of with their planners, I was hesitant at first, but OMG did Dani deliver! While I wanted to choose the vendors, DIY decor, etc. in advance, and in the weeks leading up to the wedding Dani stepped in seamlessly to coordinate with the vendors, meet me before the wedding to hand off decor, and answer my million little questions. On the day of the wedding, she handled everything before I could have even thought to ask. She also handled my overbearing parents with grace, and even the Catering Manager at the resort where we had our wedding was singing her praises. She made it so that we were all truly to able to relax and enjoy the day, and to be honest, I have no idea if there were any hiccups with vendors or the event because if there was, she handled it! There was not one detail that she overlooked - she even made sure my husband and I had drinks in our hands when we were taking family portraits after the ceremony (Lord knows that's when you need them the most!). I really couldn't have a better wedding and Dani made it possible! Book them ASAP.

Please do yourself a favor and hire them!!

I had the pleasure of working with Keali, and, from start to finish, everything was fantastic. During our initial phone call, Keali asked some questions on where I was in the planning process, my wedding vision, and what I was looking for in a planner/coordinator. Based on the information I gave her she advised that month of coordination would be best, so I went with her suggestion. This was the best money spent on the wedding. Starting in mid-August, Keali completely took over communication with the vendors and sent me little to-dos to keep me on track. I am a procrastinator by nature so these were extremely helpful!! The week of my wedding everyone kept commenting on how relaxed I seemed; this was 100% percent because of Keali, thanks to her every single thing was done going into wedding week and I was able to relax and enjoy it to the fullest! I even trusted her to execute the table settings/decor (something I am normally VERY OCD about) because I knew she would make sure they were perfect!

Since the wedding I have had countless people comment on how smooth everything went, and how perfect the wedding was, and several family members have mentioned Keali and her flawless execution specifically. I will missing chatting and working with her!

Bottom line, you will not regret hiring Simply Southern Events!

I was initially skeptical as to whether or not a planner was needed, but upon meeting Danielle my husband and I deemed her essential for our special day. One of our best wedding decisions! I am a very organized person by nature with high standards - Danielle exceeded them all!

When I inquired about the different planning offerings, Danielle insisted we only needed month-of services and did not try to up-sell us, as many wedding vendors do throughout the process. Regardless, she absolutely went above and beyond month-of responsibilities, offering us vendor suggestions and essentially becoming my therapist through the ups and downs of the covid wedding planning process. As we were traveling from out of town, Danielle even let me ship packages to her home leading up to the wedding. When all was said and done, I truly felt as if Danielle was one of my best friends!

Wedding day is when Danielle is truly in her element. I did not worry about a thing day-of and everything came into place perfectly with her meticulous coordination. Again, with my very high standards, I would not change a thing about our wedding day and Danielle was the ring leader of the whole event. I could not recommend her more!!
