    Essential part of our wedding!

    My husband and I got married in Manheim, PA last weekend and worked with Kayla at Simply Events for the entire year leading up to it. Kayla was always quick to respond, offer advice, and creatively problem solve. She never hesitated to advocate for us whenever there was a issue with a vendor, and was incredibly professional. I’m a super type A person, but the day of my wedding I was able to fully relax , let go , and enjoy knowing that Kayla had things covered. The entire day went off without a hitch because of her assistance and leadership. I can’t imagine the last year , and especially the day of our wedding without her. I highly recommend her and Simply Events for any bride ! Thank you, Kayla!

    We are so happy you decided to go with Simply Events. We love Kayla and so glad she made your day so special. We wish you the best!

    Liz Thomas was our day of wedding coordinator. From our first phone call to final walkthrough the rehearsal and wedding day Liz was amazing. She fit in with our families so well I felt like she was a friend! I would 100 percent recommend Simply Events and Liz!!!! She made my Day flawless so I could enjoy the day and take in every moment!

    Simply Events's reply:

    So glad you had a wonderful experience with us and we are grateful for your positive post for Simply Events and for Lizz!

    Absolutely fantastic in every way!!

    We cannot say enough good things about Simply Events!! From our very first call, we knew they were the perfect fit for us. We had an Indian/American fusion wedding with a lot of moving pieces and almost 400 guests, but the day truly could not have gone more smoothly. Kayla was our main coordinator and she was a lifesaver in every way possible! We had regular check-ins with her to make sure we weren't missing anything and any time we had a question, Kayla was always so responsive and helpful. There were several times throughout planning where she proactively offered to help with something or suggested ways to take things off our plate and it made such a difference. Weekend of, Kayla made sure all our vendors were coordinated, checked in on us frequently, and orchestrated everything without any hiccups. It's hard for a wedding of this size and detail to go off so perfectly, but Kayla and Simply Events made it happen!

    Simply Events is the best!!

    We hired Simply Events as our Day of Coordinator and It was definitely one of the best choices we ever made for our wedding! We first met with Judy who was so kind and did a wonderful job at explaining everything to us and filling us in on all different options Simply has to offer. After we booked with Simply we then got paired with our Day of Coordinator Sara. Sara has been absolutely AMAZING and we are so beyond thankful and blessed that she was our coordinator. From saving the day when we almost didn't have plates to picking up food, setting up decor, making sure everything is running smoothly/on time and everything else in between. We can't say enough good things about Sara and I couldn't imagine my wedding without her. ❤️

    Simply events = wonderful.

    We had a phenomenal experience with Simply Events for our wedding on 5/5/23! Our day-of planner and coordinator, Dave Burge, went ABOVE and BEYOND to do absolutely anything and everything in his power to make our day run smoothly. Dave’s responsiveness, communication, organization, flexibility, attention to detail, professionalism, and positivity are just some of the things that make Dave so good at what he does. I was a nervous bride, but every time I was in Dave’s presence that day I felt calmer and because of this I was able to stay in the moment and enjoy myself. Our wedding was so beautiful, everyone had a wonderful time, and I will never forget everything Simply Events did to help make it happen.

    Simply Events is Simply.. The BEST!!

    If I was able to give more than 5 stars I would! If you are looking for a company to help plan your event whether that is a wedding or a corporate event, stop looking and book Simply Events. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Deb, Judy, and Heather for our wedding day on 09/09/2022. We chose the day of package with Simply Events but I must say Deb and her team provided so much more than that. When I originally was looking for a Day of Coordinator, I wanted to work with someone that truly cared about our vision for our wedding and everything that goes into one of the most important days of your life. Deb right away made me feel heard, and showed genuine excitement for us and our day. After interviewing with many event companies, we knew Simply Events hands down was the company we wanted to work with (and we are SO glad we did). Leading up to our wedding and on the day of, Deb and her team were always right by our side, going above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Simply Events.

    Incredible Experience!!!

    WOW! I can't give enough compliments about this company I hired for the day-of-coordination. It was a necessity for my wedding and Tori exceeded my expectations. She handled everything perfectly, communicated seamlessly and she just made all the details look perfect. I was in the loop, yet not stressed about anything! She made sure to never worry me and she always had everything under control. Tori is super personable and just the ideal person you want helping you out on your wedding day. I truly don't know what I would have done without her that day. I can assure you my wedding wouldn't have been the dream wedding I had without her. If you're on the fence about hiring this company, just do it!!! I promise you won't regret it!

    Perfect Partner for the Perfect Wedding Day

    The right planner makes all the difference! Even if you have a clear vision and think you can go it alone, hire Simply Events. They provided great advice, confirmed our vision, and took our event to the next level. It was great to have someone we trust make the actual day run smoothly so we could enjoy the celebration with our guests. We greatly appreciated all of Tori’s help throughout the process. Thank you to the Simply Events team.

    Simply Events's reply:

    We are so happy the day went well and we thank you for this wonderful review. We do our best to make the wedding day the best it can be for all family members and of course the bride and groom.
    Best Wishes,

    Amazing Team

    I am so happy we hired Simply Events for our wedding! We got to actually ENJOY our wedding day! Honestly, I do not know if there even were any issues the day of because Amanda, our coordinator, and her team took care of everything. Everything was set up beautifully! And then to come off the dance floor at the end of the night to have all the decor packed and in a car ready to go was amazing! That to me was worth every penny. They helped me think through so many details that you don’t initially think of, and that helps you save time the day of! We were kept on track with our day and got everything done we wanted! IT WAS SO WORTH IT!

    Simply Events's reply:

    We are so glad you were able to enjoy your big day! We thank you for using our services and wish you the best of luck!

    You DO need a day-of coordinator, & you’re lucky if Tori is it

    We hired this company for day-of coordination and we’re assigned Tori. Second to our band (Central City Orchestra) this was the best wedding decision we made in the two years (pandemic) we were planning for the big day. As a bride I didn’t think I’d need a day-of coordinator because I’d been so meticulous and overly communicative. For context, I was a pandemic bride planning a wedding from a different state and for ~200 guests from all walks of life… and I had a background in international corporate event planning. I was wrong. I needed a day-of coordinator. Tori was nothing short of a life saver. Not just “stand here, walk there, be here at this time” coordination… really understanding who we are (in a short time) and adapting to all the changing needs of the wedding weekend. We truly felt like Tori cared not just about things running smoothly, but in our happiness. And that’s not easy to come by. She was so efficient, so calm, and so fun to be around. As a bride that cared a lot (probably too much) about guests and their experience from start (hotel check in) to finish (after party), I was so very appreciative of Tori taking control of details I wasn’t even aware of. And I really thought I had it all covered! There was one semi-major snafu during my reception that directly involved my photographer, live band, and mother of the bride (aka tensions were high) and Tori handled it exactly as you need as a bride: with the perfect amount of efficiency, clear communication, important (expert) feedback, and willingness to do anything to make you happy. Plus, she made my husband (who doesn’t trust vendors easily and doesn’t like fluff) feel confident, at ease, and very grateful we spent the ‘last minute’ money to hire a day-of coordinator. Thank you, Tori! We feel very grateful that you had a hand in making our day feel perfect for us.

    A life saver!

    Tori was assigned to us as our day of coordinator and I could not be happier with the service we received. Tori was the nicest person ever and you can tell she is very good at what she does. It was a HUGE relief to know that I wouldn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding. The few things that did go awry, Tori handled exceptionally and we are truly grateful for that. Thank you Tori and Simply Events!!

    Absolutely recommend this caterer!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Festive Board Catering. Hire them now!!! We had a 300 person wedding at a private, outdoor venue and they impressed us start to finish. They were available to help us with planning, offered suggestions throughout, and had a detailed meeting beforehand to make sure everything would go accordingly to plan. On the day of, they were all so friendly and prepared. They handled set up, helped decorate, provided everything that they said they would and the food was DELICIOUS! All of our guests would not stop complimenting the organization, staff, and food. We were worried about having a large wedding with so many moving parts but Festive Board made it look easy. We would highly recommend them.

    Simply Amazing!

    We hired Tori as our day-of coordinator, and I cannot overstate what a huge help she was on our big day. She really helped us stay organized, and was invaluable when weather challenges called for some quick decision changes. Whether it was helping to fill vases and decorate tables or coordinating an unforgettable first look, Tori was always checking in and making sure that our day was going just the way we dreamed. It was such a burden off of our shoulders to have her help for anything we needed. She was so friendly and helpful, and I am so thankful we had her on our team.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled for you both and we're grateful to have served you on your very special day! Best wishes on a happy married life together!

    Your day will be dreamy

    If you’re bride who's questioning whether you need a day of coordinator just stop hesitating right now and hire Simply Events! With our everchanging plans due to Covid I wanted to give up on being a bride but Jordyn provided us support every step of the way and eased all my worries. From taking the time to get to know us & our vision to planning our big city wedding to our backyard micro wedding she is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, friendly & was just so on top of every single little detail. I can’t tell you how many vendors reached out to me to comment on how appreciative they were of her professional communication especially during the final weeks leading up to our big day. Our wedding had multiple moving parts, and it ended up being perfect thanks to her accommodations. She was there to make sure it went smoothly, and came through with many last minute things I had forgotten. I still wonder how she managed to pull some things off! Truly a wonderful person to work with from start to finish and I highly recommend her! P.S. Simply Events is totally reasonably priced for EVERYTHING they offer!

    We LOVE Amy from Simply Events!!!

    We had the pleasure of working with Amy Thomas as our day-of coordinator for our wedding. Amy was highly reliable when it came to answering any wedding-related questions and providing suggestions for ways to make our special day run as smoothly as possible. Amy and her assistant, Laura, were incredibly organized and detail-oriented, which allowed us to feel very relaxed and confident in the days leading up to our wedding and even during our wedding. From the moment our wedding rehearsal ended, we truly felt like we were “off-duty”. Amy and Laura provided on-the-spot problem solving when needed and kept everyone on-task throughout the day. Everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when. At the end of the night, the Simply Events crew even helped our family load all of our gifts and decor into their cars. We highly recommend using Simply Events for wedding coordination and could not be more grateful for their presence on our wedding day.

    Best Day of Coordinator: Nicole!

    We don't have enough nice words to use for Nicole. She was our day of coordinator and she was amazing. A lot of friends have gotten married recently and their coordinators were rude and pushy. That is complete opposite of Nicole. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional and really cares that your day is perfect. She goes above and beyond and your day will be better than you ever expected. We would recommend her to everyone!! Thanks, Nicole. :)

    Kayla @ simply events is amazing

    Kayla & Liz at Simply Events made our wedding day run SO smoothly. *If* there was a problem......I knew nothing about it! Our day was simply magical!!! Kayla was very involved throughout my whole wedding planning (about a year and a half) and she made sure everything was perfect. My husband and I had some unique decorations and she and Liz made sure they were exactly how we wanted them placed! I received many compliments from my other vendors about Kayla and her thoroughness and coordination. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Simply Events!!!!

    I did all the planning myself, but having Nicole and her associate there for the rehearsal and the whole day made everything run so much smoother. I didn't have to worry about a single thing and it was such an amazing day that I will never forget!

    Deb and her team made our day seamless!

    We had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Deb and her team! To be quite honest, I was not sure why our venue was requiring that we add a planner, and was concerned it would be wasted money since I am very type A and consider myself fairly organized. I assumed I could handle it myself. Well let me tell you how deeply wrong I was, and how 100% right our venue was to have us add Simply Events. Wow did they prove me wrong. Deb was hired to be our day-of coordinator, but she was much more than that to me. Weeks prior to the wedding she came to the final walk through with me at the venue and was an absolute joy. I could tell she was taking thorough notes and felt no worries in the world. For the next several weeks leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly responsive and always had an answer for me. She handled everything that I threw at her, and did it with grace and a big smile. She took away so much of my stress leading up to the day, including confirming all details with all of my vendors for me and making sure she had each and every detail straight. The day before the wedding she not only came to the rehearsal, but partially lead the rehearsal for me, making sure every person involved in the ceremony knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. She even offered to keep an array of items in her car overnight for me to bring with her to the venue since I could not drop them off at the venue early (and also picked up food for the bridal party on her way to the venue!). Day of, there were so many last minute things that came up that I certainly didn't anticipate, but that I also didn't even hear. She kept me in a beautiful blissful bubble, and put out every fire without my even knowing. No one in the bridal party was wanting for anything the entire day, and every detail was perfect. At the end of cocktail hour I had red wine spilled on the back of my dress, and she was there in seconds pulling me into a back room and applying cleaning solutions to it that she keeps in her emergency kit. It was simply unbelievable how seamless Deb and her team made that day, and I could not be more grateful. You will NOT regret booking Simply Events!

    I went in with incredible anxiety over planning and the details and walked out confident that it will all look beautiful and with a game plan. The staff are incredibly kind and the office is filled with laughter while getting the work done fast a smoothly. I’m so excited to have them help with my wedding!!!

    So grateful for Simply Events

    Our day-of coordinator Dave, and his assistant Lizz made our day absolutely stress free and perfect. They took everything out of my hands that day and all I had to do was show up. I don't know if there were any problems at the wedding but that's how I know they both did a great job. They were so patient and on top of everything, and really just an awesome team to work with. THANK YOU!!!!
