As a planner, perfectionist, and control freak myself, I didn't think that a wedding coordinator was necessary because I usually handle everything on my own. However, my husband and I decided that a day-of wedding coordinator would most definitely be worth the money, as we wanted to enjoy our entire wedding day and not worry about the MANY behind-the-scenes parts that the day entails. We are not from the Tyler area, so we had to do some research and discovered Simply Yours by Design. What a fantastic business Deann has! We could not have asked for a better day-of wedding coordinator. Deann made our wedding day the easiest, smoothest, most wonderful day of our lives. As the bride and groom, we were overwhelmed and didn't get to see every little thing that went on at our ceremony and reception, but our friends and family bragged on how thorough, kind, and helpful Deann was from the beginning of the day to the end of the night. Our wedding day was completely stress-free thanks to Deann. If you find yourself questioning the necessity of a wedding coordinator, just book Deann! I have so many great things to say about her that I can't even put them all into words...seriously she is the best. So, THANK YOU, Deann. We wish you nothing but continued success!

Our daughters wedding was a picture perfect event because of the help of Deann, Robin and Brynn. From the first planning session to the last personal item from the reception packed away, these ladies were fantastic. As Mother of the Bride, I was able to enjoy the day without worry!

Deann is absolutely wonderful!!! When I spoke with her on the phone I knew she was the planner for me! I had not originally planned to have a wedding coordinator, and I am so glad I did!
Deann was professional from start to finish. I had only 3 months to plan my wedding, and she was so patient with me through the entire process of originally planning to have a wedding at home and then changing it a month in to a venue. To say I was incredibly thankful to have Deann is an understatement! She went above and beyond in working with the vendors to make my wedding perfect!! I didn't lift a finger the day of my wedding. Deann and her crew worked hard to make everything beautifully perfect! Deann had a positive and professional demeanor toward my groom- who at the time did not understand why we needed a wedding coordinator. After our wedding, my groom raved on and on about how perfect everything was and after attending several weddings where there wasn't a coordinator- my groom remarked how unorganized and stressful it is not to have an incredible planner like Deann.
Deann is the absolute best! You can't go wrong with her and her team!! In my eyes, she is the only wedding planner for East Texas!
