Jess made our day a dream!
At first I was hesistant to hire a month of coordinator, I'm very organized and was loving the planning process so I wasn't sure it would be worth it. I can't believe I ever thought I could do without! As soon as I began working with Jess my planning process went from fun to incredible. She managed the little last minute details while I could enjoy the days leading up to our wedding. She helped me make decisions when I asked for help, but always supported me and never pressured me to do anything a certain way. She handled last minute changes to our ceremony and a rainy day shift like a champ. She was super positive, kind, and organized. Our wedding was perfect! Even my other guests and vendors were complimenting me on her! Working with SEG was great as well, they made booking and payment easy and checked in with us directly throughout the process. I can't recommend them enough.
Simply the Best!
We had an amazing experience with The Simply Elegant Group, and we can’t say enough good things about our day-of coordinator, Jess Schnoll. Leading up to the wedding, I was impressed with the coordination and communication as we prepared for the big day. She was incredibly organized, positive, and made our wedding day feel completely stress-free. She handled every detail and vendor coordination flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. Several family members even complimented us on how great Jess was on the day of our wedding.
Highly Recommend!
Would highly recommend hiring The Simply Elegant Group! Our planner, Jess, was incredibly organized, thorough and communicative-ensuring we had zero to worry about on our big day. She was always willing to hop on a call or reach out to a vendor when needed in order to ensure our day was so special. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!
Highly Recommend!
My planner was absolutely amazing and so, so helpful. I highly recommend using these planning services. It seriously made planning a wedding much less stressful.
