    So Grateful for Diana and Team

    We worked with Diana for the past year and a half to plan our wedding, and our experience with her and her team was unmatched. I was overwhelmed with the wedding planning process and knew I needed help to pull off our ideas for the day. She understood my vision immediately and worked with us to find the perfect vendors, give us ideas, and keep us reassured throughout the entire process.

    Our wedding was based in San Francisco, with a church ceremony in the city and our reception on Treasure Island. When I mentioned an idea to Diana that we could ferry the guests across the Bay instead of using shuttles, she didn’t bat an eye. She reached out to all sorts of boat companies and we landed on the perfect transportation solution for our goals and our budget.

    The day, though logistically challenging, felt seamless. As a very organized person myself, I often find it difficult to relax when we’re on a tight schedule; but that day, I felt so much at ease and incredibly supported the entire day knowing that Diana and her team had the details covered.

    When we arrived at the reception, the venue had been transformed by her team and our vendors. It was well beyond my expectations and even my original vision. Our decorations, food, DJ/Band hybrid, gelato and coffee bars were amazing; but just as equally amazing were the small details – the guests’ table settings, photo and welcome tables were set up perfectly. Diana and her team made sure we got a chance to try all our appetizers and stuck to our timeline without it feeling too structured or like we were pulled in too many directions.

    Overall, this was truly the best day, and I’m so grateful for Diana and her team that made it so. Our guests are still telling us that this was the best wedding they had ever been to, complimenting every single aspect of it – and we owe that all to Diana. We couldn’t have done it without her! I highly recommend her as a planner who is willing to take on every challenge and execute perfectly.

    Coordination perfection!

    Diana and her team were great! We brought her on as a month-of-coordinator and she was incredibly valuable in organizing all of the final preparation before the big day. Diana was very familiar with our venue and a few of our other vendors and her expertise was very helpful while we ironed out all of the logistics and details. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and has thorough lists in order to account for everything in advance. She did a great job ensuring all of the other vendors were on the same page as the final details fell into place.
    We worked with Carla and Kattia for the day of the wedding and they ensured everything went off without a hitch. It was really helpful having a single point of contact for anything we needed and we were able to let go and enjoy our reception knowing the logistics were in good hands.

    Seamless, stress-free, perfect wedding day

    We hired Diana for full-service wedding planning and she was wonderful to work with. In the initial planning phases, more than anything I was lacking the confidence that I had booked the vendors I needed to book and was on track -- Diana gave me clear checklists of what we needed to accomplish and their due dates, so we could measure our progress. When I needed help with invitation wording, save the dates, or signage, she was there. When I had questions about how many hors d'oeuvres to order or what napkin color to choose or whatever tiny little detail I was worried about in that moment, she was there. Thank you, Diana, for always making yourself available to me during the planning process!!!

    Diana's true skill came out on the day-of, when I was really just able to sit back and relax my day. I would see Diana fading my playlist in/out and giving instructions to wait staff about when to bring certain dishes out so as to not interrupt the flow of the speeches, so I could tell she was totally working hard behind the scenes. But I was having such a great time and the wedding was so seamless, it was like magic. She made that all happen. I wish I could say more about all 10908123 things she was doing to make it happen, because lord knows it was a LOT of work, but I honestly have no idea because she made it all seem so easy and made it a point to make sure that I wasn't thinking about logistics at all that day. Wow, wow, wow. Thank you Diana and Kattia for the gift of an absolutely beautiful, stress-free, joyful wedding day. We will remember that day for the rest of our lives, and are so grateful for what you have done for us.

    Wonderful!

    Hiring Diana was one of the best decisions I made to ensure that my wedding with 250+ guests went smoothly. Because of Diana, I trusted that my vision would be executed well while my husband and I enjoyed the day with loved ones. Diana was consistently positive, kind, and professional throughout the entire process. She was my day-of coordinator, but she did a lot of work before the wedding day. After requesting many quotes from other coordinators, I found her prices to be very reasonable. Her communication is great via phone or email. She also had some beautiful decor for me to borrow. She and her assistant, Yvonne, did a wonderful job on the wedding day!

    Diana is simply the best! She helped us plan the perfect wedding and made sure every detail was exactly the way we wanted. We hired her for her month-of and day-of services and I would recommend her for anyone who needs guidance for planning their wedding. Thanks again Diana for making our wedding day wonderful!

    Diana was absolutely amazing I am so happy we hired her for the day! She kept the day on track. The flow of the wedding was perfect, not a duel moment. She checked on us when needed but really just let us kick back and enjoyed ourselves instead of having the bride and groom worrying about the next event. She worked great with all our vendors and coordinated arrival times and locations. She read my mind on the decor set up and brought my vision alive! She took a huge burden off my shoulders. Thank you Diana you were amazing and we loved having you.

    Diana was one of the recommended coordinators from our venue (Marin Art & Garden Center) and I'm so glad we chose her! From start to finish, she was extremely reliable, organized, on top of things, calm, and supportive. She has a way of putting you at ease, but also knowing she's going to get everything done that you need her to do. Would HIGHLY recommend Diana and her team!! Without a doubt.

    I hired Diana and her team for my 21st Birthday. I was very flustered and beckoning very anxious because I had never planned a big party before. I decided to give her a call and I couldn’t have been happier! Diana was there whenever I needed or whenever I had questions. She connected me with so many amazing vendors and she was always on time. She’s very flexible and her team help with your party as if it were there own! You will not regret getting her to help with any event you have!!

    Wow! Diana was reallg incredible. She helped us execute our vision and everything went flawlessly. I couldn’t have imagined the day going any better. The day-of I felt like there was still a lot of odds and ends that needed to happen (decorating tables and putting all the chairs out, etc., getting caterer sorted in the house, wine chilling) and she took care of everything while I got ready and I came out to a perfect set up. She also calmed me down right before I walked down so I felt prepared and ready. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and she was the reason everything went so well. She is the most important part of making the day be smooth, relaxing and fun!

    If you are still debating whether it's worth allocating part of your budget for a coordinator, the answer is it's the best part of your budget you'll spend. If you have moved past that and are now looking for the right team, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Diana and her team. I had more fun than I ever thought I would have at my wedding and not an ounce of stress from the moment I woke up, thanks to Diana and Carla taking over the planning reigns. They are calm, thoughtful, and positive, and do not skip a beat or miss a tiny detail that's important to you. Diana and Carla thank you from our entire family for making our day so seamless <3

    Diana was a SUCH a pleasure to work with! We live in Atlanta, planned a destination wedding in Napa, and could not have not done it without Simply Elegant Events! Though we only booked the Month of Coordination services, Diana was always responsive and made herself available for meetings even in the many months leading up to the wedding. She is also extremely detail oriented, allowed us to ship decor to her office, and really helped us with our timeline. We were able to relax on our wedding day and did not worry about a thing!

    Diana has been great so far. She has been guiding us through the process in small stages so we aren't overwhelmed. She has found more vendors when the first ones were too expensive. She responds quickly, is very sensitive to what we want, and is always a pleasure to work with. She also gave us a discount because we had already found a venue and officiant. Would recommend her to anyone!

    Well, it is now a week after the wedding, and I can only confirm everything I wrote earlier about Diana. I had been hoping that the wedding and reception would be okay, and they far exceeded expectations. Everything went off great. Diana took care of some things that another vendor messed up and I didn't even find out about it until later. Several people told us it was the best-planned, best-executed, most fun wedding they'd ever been to. I don't plan to get married again, but if I did, I would hire her again.

    Hiring Diana to be our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made! She is such a nice person and her calm, smiling nature always put us at ease. No matter what idea we suggested, she was always positive about being able to do what it would take to make it happen! She went above and beyond to answer questions to help us even before the 3 weeks prior to the wedding. The week of our wedding we encountered a last-minute hiccup with the chairs and she immediately stepped in and fixed the problem to enable me to not stress out and just enjoy time with my family. The only regret we have is not hiring her to be our wedding planner throughout the entire process! Our wedding day was perfect and ran so smoothly thanks to Diana and Yvonne and we can’t thank them enough! We highly recommend hiring Diana.

    Diana Dorsey at Simply Elegant was simply amazing for day-of coordination services! She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was a success. We had a fairly complex wedding that spanned two days and required a long list of different vendors, including table and dish rentals, servers, caterer, alcohol delivery, florist, musicians and decor. Diana and her assistant Ivonne were fantastic in making sure that everyone was organized, stayed on top of timelines, and removed any stress from my fiancee and myself. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was great in providing us tips and suggestions on specific vendors to use as well as general advice on how to orchestrate a successful wedding (leveraging her extensive experience!). Diana was extremely professional, responsive and had an answer for pretty much everything. The second day of our wedding she even saved the day by stitching a button back onto my tuxedo jacket!

    I would absolutely recommend using Diana and Simply Elegant for wedding planning/coordination services. You will not be disappointed!

    Where do I even start? To be honest, my husband and I were unsure if we even wanted a coordinator from the start. However, I can tell you that hiring Diana and the Simply Elegant team was the best decision we made in the wedding process. We didn't have to worry about one single thing on our wedding day, making it the best day ever. Despite the fact that some of my vendors weren't as responsive prior to the wedding, Diana made sure my image and dream come true. So whether you're starting the wedding planning or getting closer to the wedding day, do yourself a favor and hire her to at least help you with with the day of. She's nice, responsive, professional and most importantly dependent. Thank you Simply Elegant for all you guys did!

    If I had to do it all over again, I'd chose Diana! She was amazing and on-point during the whole experience from initial planning to day-of execution. She was extraordinarily flexible and did a great job keeping us on schedule while calming our intensive need to try and micro-manage. HIRE HER!

    As our day of event planner, Diana was spectacular! We walked through the timing of our wedding ceremony and reception a few days before and established timelines with her. She ran the show from then on. We instantly knew we were in good hands. It was great that my parents could enjoy our wedding without having to deal with all the vendors that they had hired. She was organized, unobtrusive and got things done! She was so sweet and friendly and made sure we were always happy and had what we needed. When I wanted to switch the timeline up a little she made this happen flawlessly. Diana and her assistant were rarely noticeable, and helped make our wedding so much fun!

    I can not speak highly enough of Diana and her team! We found Diana through our photographer's recommendation of a planner who is "calm and always smiling." That's exactly what we wanted for a day-of coordinator, and Diana delivered. Diana rearranged her schedule to do a vendor walk-through with us, sent out helpful recommendations and emailed timelines. She managed a very unstructured rehearsal and supported lots of family who wanted to be "helpful." She was willing to go above-and-beyond to make sure our day was the best. We had 4 (yes, 4) venues and some awesome vendors who Diana coordinated with and made everything run smoothly. In all honesty, I can't tell you all the details Diana did on the day-of because she did her job so well: I worried about nothing. I stressed about nothing. I answered no questions about "where does this go?" I have no idea if there was a catastrophe on the day or not. Diana and Priscilla took care of us and our guests and let us enjoy the day without stress. She was calm and always smiling! Make sure your budget includes a coordinator. It is worth it to allow your friends and family to enjoy the day, and to have a professional to support logistics. We'd hire Diana again! And highly recommend her!

    My husband and I were initially on the fence about getting a florist, since we were getting married in the redwood forests and wondered if we needed any additional embellishment. In wanting to keep with our Lord of the Rings theme, we opted for something simple that seemed at home in a California forest setting within a pretty strict budget. Our wedding planner referred us to Diana of Simply Elegant, because she remembered an event they had worked together where Diana used a beautiful circular arch she thought would be perfect for our ceremony.

    Diana was wonderful through the whole process! From the initial Skype meeting, to all the communication online, to our super fun walk through the San Francisco flower market! Diana was so available and quick to answer. Her blooms were beautifully arranged and exactly what we wanted. She listened very carefully to our likes and dislikes, and did not dismiss any of our opinions no matter I silly I felt expressing them. Our wedding guests all thought our flowers were really gorgeous, and they truly fit in with both the venue and our theme. And we totally stayed under budget! We’re so happy we chose Diana and Simply Elegant for all our floral needs.

    We LOVE Diana and her team! First of all, she is there to make our day as wonderful as possible. She is so great at understanding what we're looking for and goes above and beyond creating our dream wedding. She worked over time on the wedding day to make sure everyone was taken care of. She also did the flowers for us, and it was truly beautiful and unforgettable! And she came in under budget! We couldn't be more happy to have a wedding planner like Diana! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

    We have worked with Diana on several occasions for the our weddings at Apollo Fotografie (www.apollofotografie.com). Every time we work with her with is better than the last! She is extremely detail oriented, passionate about her clients, & also a wonderful person to work alongside. From another vendor's perspective , Diana is a breath of fresh air! I highly recommend her for your next event for either month of coordination or full wedding planning for any weddings in the Bay Area!

    Diana is incredible. The only advice I would give her is that she should charge her customers more! She is so affordable and even more accommodating. She was my day-of coordinator, but did SO MUCH MORE than the day of. She is super knowledgable and simply a pleasure to work with. If you want someone who is pushy and will tell you what to do, Diana is not that person. Rather, she works with your ideas and plans, and does everything with kindness and concern, while at the same time being incredibly efficient and effective. She put me at ease throughout the entire process. She also did the flowers for my wedding and they were STUNNING! I can't recommend her enough!

    Diana was a DREAM - very professional and easy to work with. She understood our vision right away and was flexible in what services she offered. She also stretched our dollars - she was able to save us more than twice her fee. We loved working with her and I will miss her now that it's over!

    Diana was our day of coordinator on our wedding day at the Observation Post Presidio in San Francisco. She exceeded all of our expectations and was a joy to work with. We met with Diana in advance and knew right away that she would be great. She was very sweet and listened to all of things that we talked about.

    On the day of our wedding she set up all of the decor, met with all of our vendors, made sure that everything ran on time and much more. She was one of our best vendors and we are really lucky that we met her. Our family complimented on how organized and sweet she was on ensuring that our day would run smoothly.

    We definitely recommend Diana and her team to anyone looking for a wonderful day coordinator on their wedding day.

    Diana was absolutely a joy to work with! We needed a day of coordinator to help make sure everything ran smoothly at our venue. She was so responsive and just an all around great person to work with. She checked up on us regularly leading up to the wedding and made sure we had all of our ducks in a row.

    During the day of the wedding, she not only made everything run perfectly, but she also make sure we always had a fresh drink in our hand and were able to be carefree during the event. We had so much fun! Thank you so much Diana!

    I hired Diana to help plan my wedding and be my day of coordinator. She found vendors for me, handled all problems that came up before the wedding, and assured me that everything will be taken care of. I can honestly say my wedding day was perfect. I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day because she was on top of it. No one came to me with questions or issues, she had a schedule and she made sure that we it was being followed. I got to enjoy my wedding. I was so happy with everything and I would recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding.

    Oh my goodness, where would we have been without Diana? She made sure everything was taken care of so we didn't have to worry about it on the day.
    Our plan was to have a casual, DIY outdoor wedding, so at first we weren't sure whether we needed a planner or coordinator, but we're so happy we went for it. We hired Diana to handle the day-of coordination, and she made herself available to us by phone and email in the months leading up to the wedding. When she arrived at the rehearsal to get the lay of the land, she was so calm and composed that we immediately felt we were in good hands. She made sure all the vendors arrived and set up in the right place, that the ceremony went swimmingly, and even set up the dessert station. Best of all, this meant our parents, relatives and wedding party didn't have to wrangle everyone else over the course of the day. Throughout the whole experience, Diana was a delightful presence.

    Diana helped me with "Day-of" logistics for my teen daughter's bat mitzvah. There were many, many moving parts of the evening, including set up of the entire room and very specific, table-by-table themed decorations. Everything was PERFECT when we arrived and the restaurant owner concurred. The end of the night was a breeze, as Diana helped with vendor payments, break-down, and enabled us to walk out the door with just a few bags and boxes to put in the car. She and her team were professional, precise and also just lovely people to talk to, work with and deal with.

    It was such a pleasure to work with Diana! I was amazingly impressed with her composure, pleasant demeanor, and ability to stay ahead of the tasks for the day while never breaking a sweat! Diana worked with my video team to make sure we were always a step ahead of the action... I've filmed a lot of weddings and Diana is easily my favorite wedding planner to work with!

    If you are considering Simply Elegant for your event, take my word for it that you have found the PERFECT planner. Diana and her team are friendly, professional, efficient, and experienced, and you will benefit from her passionate delivery of her services.

    My wife and I can't describe in words what hiring Diana as our wedding coordinator made us feel the day of the wedding and leading up to it. Diana was above amazing and handle all logistics of the wedding in such a professional manner. Her expertise came into play so many times leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding if anything didn't go according to plan my wife and I had no idea because Diana was on top of every detail. Planning a wedding can be very stressful and time consuming and this is coming from the groom : ) but working with Diana she made life easy! Not only was Diana reliable, easy to communicate and get a hold of, she's just an overall great person! She was able to use her connections to get us a last minute Mariachi band( who were great) , a white dance floor and always tried to save us money where she could. Diana, I hope you read this and know that you were a huge blessing for Tatiana and I on our most important day of our lives to date. The wedding was perfect and we could not have been happier with the way everything went and was planned. Your attention to detail is amazing and I know we have a friend for life with you! We know you are extremely busy with the other weddings you are planning but not once did we feel any less important. Thank you for everything. If anyone is looking for a wedding coordinator wedding planner look no further, Diana is the best and way underpriced for the services you will receive.

    It was a pleasure working with Simply Elegant. As a vendor myself, I really appreciate their professionalism and organization skills. I always know my client's were in good hands when they tell me their wedding planner is Simply Elegant. As a wedding photographer, it is great to be in communication with a wedding planner that is very experienced and easy to get in contact with if I ever had any questions or concerns.

    Diana was awesome to work with. She had to drive pretty far in order to meet us, so we did a lot through email. She was so responsive which helped ease my anxiety. She was so helpful and had ideas to throw off me. I loved working with her! I would recommend Diana and her team with out a doubt. She really helped my day come to life and I cannot thank her enough.

    I can't imagine a better woman to be an organizational force and calm presence by my side throughout my wedding day. I hired Diana just a month before my wedding, unsure at the time if I really needed a day-of wedding planner at all. Well, let me tell you—it was the best decision I could possibly make. I can't imagine my day without her. Not only did it become clear that I really did need a coordinator so that all the little pieces came together seamlessly, and without taking my focus away from enjoying the day, but Diana was THE perfect person for the job. From the moment I hired her she got moving on reaching out to vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, working with my timeline to make sure it all flowed seamlessly, taking note of all the decor and giving suggestions on where to get the remaining items, and more. She did far more than I had hoped, picked up everything the week before, led our rehearsal with confidence and ease, and set up the venue beautifully (she has a great eye and set it all up way better than I had envisioned). I can't recommend her highly enough. I hope every bride can have Diana by their side on their wedding day!

    We found Diana to do our Day-of Coordination for our wedding. Immediately after we booked her, we started communicating about the details of the wedding -- which surprised us because we thought we wouldn't get together until a few weeks before the event! She was very responsive (getting back to us within 24 hours), attended to our confusions, concerns and needs, and paid great attention to detail. Diana also communicated with our vendors, checking in on their progress and confirming arrival times. She was also very easy to get along with (such a sweet person!). Diana was kind enough to meet us at our venue a month before the wedding to do a walk-through and get a better vision of the whole event.

    On wedding day, Diana brought an assistant and they both worked really hard to make things go smoothly. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day without stressing over logistics. To us, the whole wedding went off without a hitch. If anything did go wrong, we didn't know about it because Diana had taken care of it! At the end of the night, everything we needed to take home with us was all boxed up and organized. She even stayed at the venue after we left to make sure everything was broken down and cleaned up correctly (our venue had a strict checklist). A lot of our guests raved about how wonderful Diana and her assistant ran the wedding, and all of our guests felt like it was a great, non-stressful wedding.

    Working with Diana was great! We hired her to help with our wedding coordination so I wouldn't have to stress. She met with me for my vendor walk thru, she sent over numerous emails prior to offer helpful templates and she attended the rehearsal. Her attention to detail, flexibility and willingness to ensure the day I had envisioned was executed. I truly appreciated having her on the day of my wedding and would recommend her to others.

    Thanks!

    Diana was such a pleasure to work with for my event for my non-profit, Lessons for Life. Diana took the extra time to make sure every little detail of the event was planned effortlessly. From the timing of our performers to the set up, Diana made the day simply perfect for our guests. I would highly recommend her for weddings and any other type of event. She goes the extra mile for her clients and is so nice to work with. Thank you Simply Elegant for a perfect event!

Her personality put everyone at ease and paved the way to a perfect day for all involved. I am a wedding musician and have worked with literally hundreds of planners. Diana is one of the easiest wedding planners I have ever worked with!

    Simply Elegant was the best gift I got myself during wedding planning. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I got them for day of coordination and event design, and flowers but I felt like I had a full service coordinator from day one. They helped me with everything I needed to ensure proper wedding planning and they travelled to Burlingame (from east bay) everytime I needed them. I had no doubts they could deliver, but they still amazed me with what they did. I am a very happy bride!

    We love working with Diana and her team at Simply Elegant Weddings and Events. As her preferred videography team, we've worked together on at a few weddings and we really like her style. She is very helpful with the needs of our video team, she is tentative to the Bride and Groom as well as their bridal party, her professionalism and attention to detail goes a long way and I would recommend her creativity, talent and experienced expertise to any Bride and Groom to be. Looking forward to working with Simply Elegant and the team again soon!

    Diana and I worked together at a wedding recently. As a photographer, I rely on wedding planners so much for the schedule and any changes the day of that I may not be made aware of. Diana and her team were very sweet and very helpful, always making sure I had all the information I needed to do a good job. I also noticed how attentive they were to the bride and groom, making sure their day was perfect. A good wedding coordinator is not an easy find and I was really impressed with and highly recommend Simply Elegant!!

    Planning a downtown San Francisco wedding from Kansas City is not an easy task, especially when the ceremony venue is as unconventional as a side street near Union Square, but Diana and Priscilla of Simply Elegant helped execute my vision better than I could have imagined.

    One important aspect of the ceremony was that set up and break down had to be quick and efficient, and I was blown away when in a cab on the way to the reception venue just a short time after the recessional, the alley looked as if nothing had ever occurred.

    They were very professional, even when my organizational skills started to unravel closer to the wedding date, and checked up on me frequently. The flower arrangements they did were stunning, and the cake vendor they chose knocked it out of the park.

    One quote from a bridesmaid: "That was the first wedding I have ever been to where nothing went wrong." In my bridey-mind, plenty went wrong, but thanks to Diana and Priscilla, no one noticed :)

    Priscilla and Diana were a huge help with our wedding. They were responsive from the first conversation leading up to our wedding day. It was great to have them there which put us at ease as of course the day was very hectic. They clearly have experience which was evident throughout the day/evening. I highly recommend Priscilla and Diana.

    Diana was great and the perfect complement to our personalities! We hired her for the “month of” assistance, and she stepped right in. Cheerful, flexible and helpful, offering ideas and adjustments. Connected with and coordinated with our vendors seamlessly. Very positive and effective without being pushy! Loved working with Diana! Sincerely Bride Caitlin, MOH Erica and MOB Kathryn.

    Diana was a pleasure to work with. She's SO sweet, professional and always has a smile on her face. I truly felt that Diana and her team gave their 100% to make my special day go as smoothly and stress-free as possible. We had so many vendors for our wedding and Diana was amazing at getting in touch with each vendor and making sure that they also had what they needed and followed the schedule. I would recommend Diana and her team to future brides & grooms looking for a wedding coordinator at a great price!

    Diana was a wonderful wedding planner! She is warm and flexible and was really open to facilitating our out-of-the-box ideas. She helped with all the nitty-gritty of planning that would have otherwise been too overwhelming for me. On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing and it all went smoothly.

    Diana and Priscilla did a wonderful job with our day-of-coordinating. I hired them almost 2 months before our wedding and basically just gave them our vendor contacts and they figured out the wedding timeline (even for the vendors who were not under their watch). They also scheduled a run through that was completely thorough and made my nervous mother at ease. On the day of, my husband and I got to enjoy our day with minimal craziness. We really appreciate and recommend this team. If you are thinking about getting a day-of-coordinator...do it! You definitely won't regret it.

    A couple weeks before the wedding I realized there really needed to be a day of coordinator to fill in all the details that make a wedding run smoothly. Priscilla and Diana immediately jumped on board when I called them in panic and took charge to get the schedule and details all worked out with me. Very professional, and I felt very comfortable trusting them to all the details. The wedding turned out great without a hitch. Thank you ladies. Happy Newlyweds.

    Diana and her team were absolutely essential to our wedding day! We had Diana on board as a day-of planner for our pre-wedding event and wedding day. As a day-of planner, she also offers 1 month of wedding planning services. During this time, she was very responsive to calls, texts, and emails and was proactive about addressing tasks that were pending. She was extremely professional and flexible. On the day of our wedding, she and her team were fully prepared regarding what needed to happen at each point of the day. She was willing and able to troubleshoot any issues without having to come to me or my husband with questions. We loved having Diana and her team as a part of our big day and would highly recommend her to anyone!

    In the crowded world of wedding planners, choosing the right one can be stressful. Diana was a godsend because I had to choose with little information and it turned out spectalularly wonderful. She was so helpful in guiding us to a unforgettable wedding that was within our budget but looked like we spent twice as much. I cannot say enough about her professionalism, her can do attitude and all of the things she did that we never even noticed.

    Diana was amazing to work with. Six months out, our venue cancelled on us, meaning we had to not only find a new space, but also completely change our vision. The change of venue also ended up meaning more work for Diana, she perfectly executed our new vision, and the space turned out better than we could have hoped. I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, but let me tell you that it will make things so much easier, and you will feel so much more prepared, and relaxed with Diana as part of your team. I was a much more controlling, anxious bride than I ever thought I would be, but Diana really helped to put my mind at ease. At the end of the day I would 1000% recommend Diana and her team!

    I was planning my wedding and I had my vision down but I wasn’t sure how to execute it on the day of until I found Simply Elegant Events. Diana and Priscilla were organized and helped me with last details and was a life saver duo. I didn't want to stress and have to rely on family and friends to take care of all the many details. They took care of my deco, coordinate with vendors, and schedule of events and the day really all came together smoothly and I couldn't ask for more. They also did my florals, centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres and well as videography. Service was professional and very affordable compared to other event planning. I was able to have everything I wanted that worked within my budget and great memories to look back on of our special day. Thank you so much!

    Priscilla and Diana were absolutely great to work with at Simply Elegant Weddings & Events. They were knowledgable and responsive - very helpful in a pinch.... helping grab the last minute forgotten items and wonderful in helping to relocate to a beautiful ceremony location at the park we had choosen (when we discovered the next day the spot we had orginally picked was no longer available). They were on top of contacting us and very flexible in meeting up, in all communcations with them. Our wedding was a bit hodge-podge by our own design, but they adapted well to our style and offered planning tools to help it go really smoothly, when we realized last minute we needed the extra help. Thank you!!!

    Diana was such a pleasure to work with. She is a seasoned veteran, is extremely organized and very resourceful. She does all of this with a "can-do" attitude and a smile. I would highly recommend her. I did not worry at all on my wedding day and everything went smoothly, and Diana keep everything on schedule and as-planned without making me feel stressed.

    During the wedding planning - Diana was wonderful, she kept us on track for the wedding and took the time to understand what we were looking for in a wedding. She tried to stay as close to the budget as possible when discussing vendors. However, response time was often slow, and some of the vendors did not meet expectations.

    Day of the ceremony - Diana was key to a successful day! I am sure things would not have gone as smoothly without her.

    Very laid back, and professional to work with. The price for their services are affordable compared to some other competitors out there. They work best via on phone or in person. Email communications can get overlooked, but that's with anyone in general.

    Diana and Priscilla mostly shine when it comes to the day of the wedding. They made our wedding so enjoyable and beautiful for us, just exactly the way we pictured it. Use them! They are definitely needed!

    Minimal Effort for our event. Month of service..Simply Elegant failed to deliver.

    We did not have a lavish and elegant event, maybe that's where Diana decided we were not going to get her full attention. My daughter wanted a certain vibe and not a production for a wedding. Diana did not deliver month of help that I was happy with and I thought….. she will bring her A game for the actual event. She sent someone else to run the rehearsal and it seemed like Nallee just wanted to be done and get out of the rehearsal. The day of was even worse. I can overlook a lot as nothing in life is perfect, but when Diana and Nallee forgot to help my daughter grab her bouquet to walk down the aisle…thats when I knew I had to leave a review as she always gave us the minimal effort.

    As a female small business owner each of my clients gets my full attention regardless of scope. In retrospect Diana seemed to not give our event any effort, we weren't Instagram worthy for being Lavish and Elegant…..shame on you. You shouldn't have taken our money if you couldn't deliver service with attention to detail and execution.

    I do not like slamming female business owners, but Diana you failed to do what your contract promised. Our wonderful photographer gave us pointers on a couple things that were your responsibility. I had to call the buses to transport guests to reception….I think this was your job. It seems like Diana only wants to give orders to execute details and does not perform them herself.

    If you want month of service look elsewhere….I could have hired someone for less who would have better executed on the day of wedding. Wish I could have left a glowing review, but I don't want anyone else to have to miss their daughter walking down the aisle with her father without a bouquet in hand. My son noticed bouquet was missing and ran to get the bouquet.

    Look elsewhere if your event is not lavish…..you will get no attention from Simply Elegant Events.

    Very disappointed.
