  Without an ounce of doubt I give full recommendation. I trusted them and they executed perfectly. The flowers were something you see in the magazines. When I saw the bridal flowers I literally said, "These are what I always envisioned. They are perfect!" It was as if she was in my thoughts and dreams. I couldn't have had a better florist. They were personable and patient. I felt comfortable from the beginning and she proved worth the investment, which was more than fair.

  Myself and my fiance' contacted Simply Divine Events three months before our wedding, and to our surprise they where able to assistance us with all the services we needed for our wedding. Our wedding was on Valentine's Day weekend and without using the traditonal colors that are associated with the holiday, they made suggestions for colors for our decorations that still incorporated the meaning of the holiday why customizing our own personal style.
  
  The best part about their services is that their fees are really reasonable. We picked the services we needed by the the buget that we gave them and they where able to give us exactly what we asked them for. We would like to thank the entire staff and wish them the best of luck. We will definitely contact them for all of our future events and send them many more clients!

  Simply Divine Events was a true blessing for myself, my fiance' and my family. They are truly an unique company. Unlike most businesses in the wedding industry, Simply Divine Events provides 95% of their services themselves. From the decorations to the catering, from the invitations and the programs to the guest favors, from the floral designs to assisting with vendor referrals such as cake designers, disc jockey, photography, and videograpy services. We highly recommend the staff of Simply Divine Events to be apart of one of the most important days of your life. By the way, there decor' and food selections are unbelievable. They event give you the option of designing your own package with your budget, not cookie cutter at all. Please give them a call if you want the best!

  Everything that I had running around in my head, Tawanda was able to put it together and bring to life! I will admit I was nervous the day of the wedding because it seemed like things weren't going to be done in time but it was such a success and sooooooo beautiful. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it myself!!

  Very Unprofessional

  Walked out on my wedding without finishing services. Nothing matched. Never heard an explanation or apology. Literally ruined my wedding pictures because my bridal party and I had figure out decor. Not a registered business and does not put address on contract or she would be in small claims court.

  Unprofessional, RUDE, Scam, Unresponsive

  Please DO NOT hire Tawanda Jackson w/SDE DESIGN. When I tell you she is the most rudest, unorganized, disrespectful, UNPROFESSIONAL person I’ve ever encountered, she is just that. When I first spoke with her in person, she was the nicest person ever. That was until she got our money and wasn’t able to do things the way she wanted to do them. When I first reached out to her, I gave her my vision of what I wanted. Something elegant and simple for 120 guest. She provided me with a quote, I had gotten quotes from another lady and decided based on a friends review that I would move forward with Tawanda. She does not provide what is listed in the contract, she refuses to work with certain venues, her attitude is horrible and she is slow as ever. If it wasn’t for my bridesmaids helping, she would probably still be decorating the reception. She’s not prepared, and assembles every thing the day of which makes no sense to me. Please do NOT hurt this lady. She’s a complete rip off.

  Horrible!!! She will sell you a dream and can’t provide the services

  I would not recommend anyone to do business with this company. Tawanda Jackson is the owner. She has changed her company name several times. She is not professional. Provided step by step of how I wanted my wedding. She did what she wanted to do. Reached out to her the next day. Never called me back. She informed me through text message she would refund me. She’s been a ghost ever since. Horrible customer service and cannot provide services she promise.

  Very unprofessional

  My daughter got married on August 21, 2022 and I hired SDE because I thought she would do a good job. She really showed her true colors. She was ALWAYS paid on time and she was paid in full at least 6 months before the event. I specifically told her how we wanted the wedding and reception set up but this lady did what she wanted to do! Nothing was done that was asked of her. The wedding looked horrible and the reception was ridiculous. All of the tablecloths was wrinkled and had stains on them. The centerpieces looked like they was just threw together. You could see all the floral foam through the flowers. To make matters worse, my daughter informed me that she charged her an EXTRA $425 for 25 extra seats. Let’s just say there was no extra 25 seats at the reception. She is very unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend her to ANYBODY else!! She blocked me on Facebook after telling me she would refund me $1000 but has not given me one cent!! At this point, she owes me interest and everything else!! Yes, I’m very pissed with this unprofessional lady!!!

  Very Disappointed Bride!

  I would not recommend anyone do business with this lady. She arrived for my wedding an hour before it started and threw everything together! The price I paid and the work I was presented isn't comparable in the least. The one thing I really wanted was the cake swing and she didn't provide it. She charged 500$ for a van rental but showed up in a $19.95 Uhaul Truck. She also charged almost 1000$ for just labor but didn't provide the service that I expected to cost that much. She talks big and makes you believe she can do anything, "The WOW Factor" but doesn't give what you pay for. It took her almost a month to refund the amount of the cake swing. She refused to return my emails and calls when I told her I expected more than just $500. Her flower arrangements were trash! Please don't allow her to destroy your day!
