Vicki is the BEST!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Vicki from Dramatically Simple Events, as our wedding planner. From the first phone call, I knew we were in good hands. Vicki is an absolute professional with an incredible eye for detail and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable weddings.

Throughout the entire planning process, she was a constant source of support and guidance. Listening attentively to our vision, she brought it to life in the most magical way possible. Every step of the way, Vicki was there, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly.

Her creativity and resourcefulness exceeded all expectations. She went above and beyond to make sure little details were incorporated. As with any event, there will be hiccups and no challenge was too big or small for Vicki . She effortlessly navigated any obstacles that came our way, always finding the perfect solutions that exceeded our wildest dreams.

Not only is she incredibly talented and professional, but she also has a warm and genuine personality that instantly puts you at ease. Vicki’s calm and reassuring presence on our wedding day made everything run smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy and cherish every moment.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, thanks to Dramatically Simple Events . The decor, the ambiance, the coordination - everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and the seamless flow of the entire event.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, who truly cares about making your wedding day the best it can be, then look no further than Vicki and her team. They are truly exceptional and will exceed your expectations in every way.

We are forever grateful for your talent, dedication, and friendship. You are simply the best!

Amazing help throughout!

Vicki helped with a lot more than I expected and was super responsive to my texts on quick questions for how to setup and organize different aspects. Even helped look over the invitation wording so it made sense. Day-of I barely had to think about anything (I could have done less I'm sure, but I can't help myself). She had all my timing notes and made sure the vendors were on track - I got to have fun and didn't even remember the cleanup at the end of the night!

I will use them over and over!

It was such a pleasure to work with SWAY Events! Their customer service was great. They are reliable, flexible and very professional! Easy to communicate with. They kept me on track and focused (I had a lot going on at the time). Without them, I wpuldnt have been able to execute my vision of our 10 year renewal. I will for sure use them again!

The best day of my life because of SWAY!

If there is one thing I would 110% recommend, check out SWAY Events for your wedding planning needs. Whether you need minimal wedding coordinating/recommendations, or full blown event planning from start to finish, this team really will provide! These ladies are so experienced in this space and you can feel and tell they love what they do. When I look back on my special day, I’m so thankful we decided to get assistance. This wouldn’t have been possible without Sway. Thank you!

1000 Star Review - SWAY is the best!

Words cannot express the love and attention SWAY puts into their work. Melissa, Vicki and Deja'Nay are absolute magicians at wedding planning. From months before, helping us find more information about vendors, assisting with communications, giving recommendations for decorations or just keeping us sane the day of, they had everything covered. Deja'Nay was flawless in her organization of the day and she nailed our vision. We had our stressors but she checked in on both me and the groom the whole morning making sure we had water, that we were relaxing and weren't freaking out too much. Everything went so smoothly that we hardly even noticed how fast the day went by. All the small personal touches the SWAY team included in our day made for an even more memorable experience. They took everything we said into consideration, no matter how small the ask was. The moment a doubt or concern came into my head, they squashed it. I could not recommend SWAY more. They're top notch professionals that I would work with again in a heartbeat if I ever got the chance.

Flawlesss Support from Sway

We got married outside in a state park setting with about 140 friends and family members. Because of SWAY, we can close our eyes and remember every moment of our beautiful day. SWAY is professional, affable and unflappable. Not have experienced many weddings ourselves, SWAY had all of the tip and tricks that made each family member feel welcome and honored. They are truly the best!

Can we give more than 5 stars??

Melissa and the SWAY team were absolutely incredible!! My husband and I had no idea what we were doing planning our wedding so we decided to hire Melissa for day-of-coordination. She went above and beyond and made the planning process stress free and fun! Her communication, professionalism, fun loving attitude and kindness was more than we could have wished for! When the actual wedding day came, Melissa made sure that we relaxed and focused on having a good time. She took care of everything from setting up the venue and communicating with vendors to holding crying babies and ordering McDonald’s for kids having meltdowns. We seriously can’t recommend the SWAY team enough!! Thank you for making our wedding more special than we ever could have imagined!
